Texas Pride Barbeque

St. Hedwig boasts of nothing that I could see except Texas Pride Barbeque, the only building by the road. And boy howdy, are they proud of that. At night, the neon lights of red and green outine the shack and light up the joint like a Christmas Tree. I didn't get a chance to sample the fare thoroughly on my first excursion, but I sidled up to the bar, sniffed the vittles, and made a friendly inquiry or two. I learned enough to know that it would be worth coming back. I've waited longer for a seat in a San Antonio restaurant than it took us to drive to Texas Pride, and adventure, as much as the meal, was worth the trip. The guy cutting ribs said lots of folks drive out from San Antonio, even for lunch. The draw must be the food, because it isn't St. Hedwig. - Retha Oliver
