  Make a quick swing here leaving Rockport.  Grabbed a pull-apart loaf of bread, banana bread and a mixed bag of gigantic cookies.
  
  All were delicious, so if you are passing by, make sure to stop.

  Stopped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Pretty packed. We both ordered small cheeseburgers and they were so good! For dessert we opted for the cookies. We bought a mixed bag of half dozen HUGE cookies. They're a little crispier than I like, but the Ranger cookies are pretty good. Next time I want to try the cinnamon rolls...they looked delish!

  Here's my story about Crofutt's:
  
  My dad used to leave early in the morning sometimes to work in Port Lavaca.  My sister and I were always so excited because we knew he would stop at Crofutt's and get us a bag of cookies.  He always did!
  
  In 1997, my dad died.
  
  In 2006, I was driving through Bayside and saw Crofutt's, so I stopped in and grabbed a bag of cookies for my sister and one for myself.  My sister was, at the time, living in San Marcos, TX, but I intended to mail them to her.
  
  However, I had to leave for a business trip that afternoon to Houston and never got around to mailing them the few days I was away.  I dragged this pitiful bag of cookies the entire way with me.  By the time I was boarding a flight back to Corpus, they were broken into a million pieces.  
  
  At the airport in Corpus, I was waiting at the baggage claim when a woman approached me and asked me where I got the cookies.  I told her my background with Crofutt's and how I had good intentions for the cookies.  She took a piece of paper out of her purse and asked me for my sister's address.  She was one of the owners of Crofutt's.
  
  A couple of days later, my sister got a package of giant chocolate chip cookies from Crofutt's!
  
  I can't express my love of this place.  It reminds me of being a kid - but now I have a LOT more respect for amazing food.  It's definitely a "Mom & Pop" kind of place, but everything tastes amazing!
  
  And to the owners - thank you for sending those cookies to my sister and bringing the memories of excitedly waiting for our dad to get home knowing we were getting a Crofutt's treat!

  Review is for Ranger cookies only. I used to stop through here many years ago and always enjoyed these cookies. I wasn't surprised to see no one working there that I knew there still, but everything looked the same. Cookies were a disappointment. Dry and mostly flavorless.

  Grew up eating these cinnamon rolls on the way to my great grandparents house. In my mind there isn't a better bag of sticky pecan cinnamon rolls around. You won't regret having a sandwich here either.

  If you are hungry between Refugio and Corpus... then stop here - if not, then just keep trucking along. It's nothing fantastic to write home about. I would say the staff is decent - not overly nice - not ridiculously mean. It's just a sandwich shop - the only one - in Bayside.

  Best and possibly only sandwich shop for miles around.  Try the cinnamon rolls.  We had the hot ham sandwich, but the burgers seemed a hit among the patrons.  Fresh buns, baby, fresh buns.

  Crofutt's is a great stop on the road from Houston to Corpus, or points further south.   Its the only food between Refugio and Portland on FM 136, and as a result its usually busy, with a great mixture of locals and tourists (hunters, fisherpeople, birders, truckers, etc) to visit with while you wait for your food to be prepared.
  
  Crofutt's is a bakery and sandwich shop -- known for its breads, cinnamon rolls and giant cookies -- Old school comfort food.  They do run out, so get there early (particularly on weekends and as the weather cools down & Winter Texans show up).  Locals and area workers stop in for coffee & rolls or a breakfast sandwich for the road.
  
  Good hot and cold sandwiches and burgers -- I like the fried flounder sandwich.  Typical fries, tots & chips for sides.  If they have beans -- try them.
  
  Not fancy and a limited menu, but always solid food -- a great local sandwich shop & bakery.
  
  Note on the map:  Regardless of what the map or your GPS may say Crofutt's is directly on FM 136, on the west side of the road.  Bayside has two flashing yellow lights -- Crofutt's is at the "north end" of town, closer to the north of the two flashing lights.  The only other business establishment is the Bayside Grocery ( on the east side of FM 136 at the north of the two lights) -- its a "grab & go" convenience store with gas pumps and ice.  Not all GPS maps & most of the "mapping software" (like Google Maps, <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FMaps.com&s=7d8a5e90dcadbb56ff186e5252beb5c9dd76e31451ac697ba00fc28688e897f2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://Maps.com</a>, etc), don't have Bayside mapped exactly correctly -- but we're so small, you really can't get too lost!!
