Sinton Folks-Butter Churn??

[Matthew328]

How good is this place?? Is it worth making a detour for on Saturday 9/11 when I come to Corpus??

[pirate4state]

No, but you should detour anyway just cause! :D

[Matthew328]

LOL I probably will....I need a place to grab lunch anyway...I should have like a welcoming committee

[pirate4state]

I'll alert the media. You can eat at Tasty Taco if you get in before 2pm. Have the "infamous" tortilla burger LOL

[MUSTANG69]

The Butter Churn in Aransas Pass is better than the one in Sinton.:D

[sinfan75]

Ain't nothin wrong with Butter Churn. A little pricey but it's all you can eat. I ain't never had bad meal there and I eat there at least once a week. Tasty Taco!!:rolleyes:

[sinton66]

Matthew, I've never steered you wrong, go to Butter Churn. Sundays they even have cobblers for desert. Got an ice cream machine too. Be willing to bet you'll enjoy it. I might even make it down myself.

They usually have banana pudding too....but would I drive to Sinton for it, uhhh no. Y'all better have a welcoming committee for him if he does.:D

[SintonFan_inAustin]

Had lunch there today for the first time and i would recommmend it if you're passing through.

[Matthew328]

Thats right I DEMAND a welcoming committee...anyone w/Corpus night life suggestions PM me also....

Didn't say there was anything wrong with it, just that it wasn't worth a detour. :rolleyes:

[Phil C]

It is very good and they do great business. Let's us know when you are stopping by.

[Matthew328]

Its a little bit of a detour...remember I'm coming into town from the Valley :)

[Phantom Stang]

I actually ate there a couple of months ago. I didn't think it was too expensive considering they had sirloin steak on the buffet. The selection of items is huge, including lots of different meats and sides, as well as a great salad bar. One thing I remember is a sausage I mistook for hot links, that was really tasty so I wasn't disappointed.

Would I make a detour to go there again? YOU BET!!:clap:

[pirate4state]

They have their own web site ;)

we've stopped and had a meal or two at the Butter Churn and it was good. M328 - will you be coming through Cuero?

[Matthew328]

Dont think so...Cuero's nort of Corpus right?

North on 77A/183 - Sinton to Refugio to Goliad to Cuero to Gonzales to Luling to Lockhart to Austin..........

[Matthew328]

Naaa I'll be coming in from the south...

It's not a big detour if you are passing through, Matthew. I think it would be worth it. The food is pretty good.

[sinfan75]

Actually, if you hit 181 in Sinton and go up into Lockhart and hit the new toll road, you by-pass SA and Austin and it's smooth sailin into Fort-Worth. Take that route at least once a year.

[Phil C]

If you are in the valley and go to South Padre Island, Texas be sure to go to the Pelican West Band's place. It is great!

[Matthew328]

If I was coming from Ft Worth, I'd take the easy route I-35 to I-37...since I'm coming in from the Valley I think I'm just taking 77 up...

[sinfan75]

77's a nice drive too. I like that way best. Nice country to drive through when you're not in ahurry.

[Matthew328]

I drove 77 back last time...took forever...although LaGrange is gorgeous...

Next week...I'm expecting the welcoming committee in Sinton!

[sinfan75]

I like goin up 77 when I'm not in a big hurry. Much more relaxing drive than goin up 35 all the way.

You want cheerleaders?

Phil C & 66? :devil:

[sinfan75]

I'll buy his meal for the joy of tellin him how Sinton shoulda beat Everman.:D :D :D

[Diocletian]

Butter Churn is a great place to eat.

Sometimes, my wife and I travel from Corpus to eat there on the weekend.



Be prepared though...it is a buffet style place...and some people just don't like to put themselves in a position to eat more than Whale in one meal.



PS: The one in AP is not worth the trip!

Just don't sit upstairs. The waitresses are lazy and you will get poor service.:mad:

[FrmSTx]

What you need to do is go through Bayside and eat Croffutt's!

[Phil C]

Unfortunately I have to be out of town next Saturday morning but let me know if you are stopping by and if I get back in time I will stop there to meet you.

[Matthew328]

I think next Saturday I'll do lunch at Joe Cotten's in Robstown....then stop in Sinton at Butter Churn on Sunday for lunch on my way home.....


Anyone have suggestions on a spot for dinner in Corpus on Sat??

I already told you what to do! :mad: :D

Anyone who is in the area Sunday afternoon is welcome to join us for brunch/lunch at Butter Churn and you can meet the infamous Matthew328 :nerd: :D

[SintonFan]

I'd love to be there myself to meet Matt but jeez that's a 2+ hour drive for me.

If you don't mind a suggestion, I'd say skip Joe Cotton's and go to Miller's (NOT Bill Miller's) on West Leopard St. instead. Darned good Mesquite BBQ.

It's on Saratoga and Staples

Great food and great atmosphere. It is a non-chain type place.

[pirate4state]

For those in the area Matt & I will be at Buttern Churn today around 11 if you'd like to join us. :) Matt wants some kind of welcoming committee lol

[pirate4state]

Scratch that. Matt is running behind schedule lol

Maybe next time!
