Turkey Shop and Cafeteria

The Turkey Shop is no more - RIP. The huge turkey sign that loomed large above I-35 for as long as I can remember has been ignominously taken down. Although you can still order a turkey sandwich, it is the no longer the freshly cooked REAL turkey that used to be served until a month or two ago. Instead it is that awful 'turkey product' that is from a industrial plant in Delaware or somewhere. The BBQ place that bought the Turkey Shop and destroyed a bit of food history is not worth worth the stop. Very Sad.

I always saw this little place on my way back from Austin and finally stopped once.  Service was really rude and pushy, but the food was surprisingly pretty good for the price and atmosphere.  For $11, I got 3 slices of brisket, a quarter pound of turkey, a half chicken, and a sausage.  All were pretty good.  Chicken was really juicy, and the turkey was what you'd expect.  Brisket really shocked me as to how close it was to real BBQ.  It was definitely worth stopping for, but I think my expectations were a little higher.
