Schobels' Restaurant

Terrible, over cooked canned vegetables and lettuce had been soaked in sulfites! more

Ok - originally from the South and now live up North. Found myself driving for business between Houston and Austing as lunchtime was near. And there was Schobels. Didnt expect much - though in a small town, tons of cars outside - just wanted something other that fast food. Well...I got more than I was expecting. It was so good and fresh - perfectly prepared. The owners came in while I was there - so nice and welcoming. They even had an amazing bar with beautiful woodwork - really impressive. Pros: Everything made fresh and inexpensive Cons: can only get it in Texas (boo....) more

This restaurant has wonderful a salad bar, fresh veggies and homeade desserts. I highly recommend a stopping when traveling between Houston and San Antonio. Pros: Veggies, Salad Bar, Cheese Block Cons: Crowded more

The first time we ate here it was on a cross country drive and we wound up in Columbus by accident..a lucky accident, at that. The second time we ate here was also on a cross country drive and this time we planned it so that we could eat at Schobel's. It's not that the food is so unusual or special. It's just that it's consistently good all-American chow that tastes good and makes you happy to have it. If they have the buttermilk pie on the menu, order it! It's outstanding. more

Columbus, Texas is a small blip on the road (I-10 to be precise) about 1/2 way between Houston and San Antonio. I find out interesting that no matter where I travel in Texas, if someone has heard of Columbus, it's either because a) they stop their on their roadtrips for a potty stop or b) they stop there for a quick bite at Schobels' Restaurant. This restaurant is owned and operation by Bob and Andy Schobel and has a delicious buffet and hometown food. Another interesting side note is that two of the Schobel boys, Matt and Aaron are in the NFL and another son, Bo, plays for TCU and will be in the NFL draft this year. You can frequently see all three at Schobels' having a bite. Pros: Homemade Food, Friendly Service, Daily Buffet more
