It's been something of a while.
We visited Texas for the 2024 Solar Eclipse, and it was great. More on that later.
On our way back we stayed in the town of Plainview, Texas. had supper at the Cotton Patch Cafe (highly recommended - I didn't finish my meal, but no fault of theirs - the waiter even managed to get the kitchen staff to scrape the bottom of the pot for the last of the jalapeno gravy for my chicken fried steak. Great stuff!)
But, more about them when I can do them justice.
The Next Morning, we were looking around for breakfast. Apart from a donut shop, there was nothing on this side of Plainview that served a real breakfast. Except McDonald's.
And the McDonald's was GREAT!
This is what greets you when you drive up:
And, true, it's the typical Micky Dee's breakfast menu, but these folks take pride in doing it right. Coffee was great. And they are not afraid to help a body out. When we went up to order seconds, the menu had just changed to Lunch, but they accommodated us by putting together two more breakfast sandwiches (plus hash browns) for us.
This handsome fellow was especially helpful (Corey, by name):
He was very helpful. He had a pleasant and sunny attitude in a job where, let's be frank, has more than it's share of cranky customers (I should know. Unfortunately, I can be one of them).
All in all, he and they made breakfast a wonderful experience.
And you gotta love a place that doesn't take Ronald too seriously!
McRib on the hoof
If I'm ever again in Plainview, I will definitely look them up!
(Their address is 815 N I-27, Plainview, TX 79072.)
If you are ever down that way, you should look them up. too!
Yes, You Can!

I forgot to mention that they are the cleanest McDonald's we'd been in in quite a while. They had the full complement of soft drinks in their refill fountain. I think I mentioned they got my wife hot water and tea bags for hot tea. Most every one visiting seemed happy.
It was a pleasure to visit!
Thanks again!
