  Great burger.  Extremely friendly and everything was cooked to order.  Glad we found it.

  Driving past this place today reminded me of one of the darkest days of my life...and I had to review this light towards the end of my tunnel.
  
  Abridged version...broken toe Friday(in Austin), best friend's father's funeral (in the Valley) Saturday, lost t top for my car in the pouring rain driving home on Sunday.  It's a really, really long story.  The Texas DPS was useless and made me call local authorities...would you cross the interstate with a freshly broken toe to look for a t top in the POURING rain?!  I didn't think so.  Local authorities directed me to Wolff's to wait while they looked (I don't think they really did, though) for the top of my car.  Before my story REALLY begins, this is pretty much a regular travel stop...as far as pricing and items that they carry, pretty standard actually.  Read on to learn about my five star rating of them.
  
  I was soaking wet from walking to the next mile marker to indicate where I was at and driving the car with no driver's side top on.  I walked in and asked if I could park under the awning by a broken pump and was told that I could.  By this point I wasn't thinking clearly and was wandering gimpily around the store, freezing my ass off and crying my eyes out.  A restaurant employee offered me coffee to warm me up and a little old lady brought a coat in from her truck for me.  I then remembered that I had dry clothes in my car, but was still freezing my ass off after I changed.  I decided to wait out the storm, so I had some fairly tasty chicken strips from the restaurant and hung out, drinking coffee for another hour or so.  They kept coming to check on me...something I really, really appreciated, seeing as how this is exactly halfway between my friends in Austin and my family in McAllen.  I almost had to ghettofy my car with trash bags and duct tape, but they had none.  By the time I went back outside, the downpour had stopped, so I threw on a poncho and was on my way, forgoing the search for the t top.
  
  Clearly, these people went above and beyond what was really necessary...something that eased my tears just a bit.
