Duncan and I always love to discover new places---especially the little local haunts with lots of character and history. When we heard about the burgers at the grocer in the small town of Greenwood, Tx, we decided we just had to check it out.
Greenwood is a small town (pop. 76), that was established by two cowboys in the late 1870s. Here, you can find the Greenwood Grocery and Grill which has been featured on the original Texas Hamburgers poster, and is a favorite stop among the biker crowd. It's a beautiful ride through the country, and a step back in time to when everyone knew their neighbors, and they all got together to visit at the local restaurant. It was a bit cool the morning we visited, so the wood burning stove was all fired up, and we sat next to it to keep warm and toasty. We ordered up two of their famous cheeseburgers and then chatted with the locals while we waited. You can't be in a hurry if you want one of these special burgers, as they take time to cook, but they are definitely worth the wait. Ours arrived hot and juicy with homemade fries----yummy!! There is no searching for the meat, as it is a giant, flavorful patty, and is all stacked up with fresh trimmings. The homemade fries were delicious as well, and we found ourselves becoming pleasingly full. Don't forget to save room for pie, as they are homemade. That day we had coconut cream. It was the perfect ending to an awesome---and very filling---lunch. So, if you are in the mood for a nice little drive through the country, a little small town Texas history, and one great burger, the Greenwood Grocery and Grill is a must!
