*Editor’s Not: Before I decided to create the Round Rock Post, I kicked it around a while. Just a week after I started the site, my good friend from California, John Hammond, visited the area for business. All on his own, he stumbled on Greenhouse Craft Food and couldn’t stop talking about it. I asked him to write a guest article about his experience, and he was gracious enough to do it. If you have a positive review of a Round Rock business that you would like to share, you can submit your article to the Round Rock Post at: [email protected]. Please enjoy John’s take on this Round Rock one-of-a-kind restuarant.

I, like many others out there, love visiting my local farmers market. You just can’t put a price on freshly grown and organic food produced by your local community, which is why I just had to try Greenhouse Craft Food in Round Rock, Texas while on a business trip last month. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed. This local farm-to-table eatery has really pulled out all of the stops and produced a menu that touches the hearts of Americans with lovable classics done with a flavorful twist. Inside the decor is inviting and comfortable and very reminiscent of what you would expect in a Texas restaurant.

While looking through the menu I was compelled to order one of everything, but my wife said that our pocket book just wouldn’t allow that. (Pause for a moment of silence for my broken heart.) So, after some very intense internal deliberation I settled on their Big Pig Sandwich. Wow! I was not disappointed. This sandwich came piled high with the savoriest and juicy pulled pork that I think I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Made from all natural, local farm raised braised pork butt stacked on top of a golden sweet roll and topped with homemade pickles, all natural handmade slaw, smoked onions and topped off with a homemade tangy chipotle aioli sauce. Mmmm, mmmm good.
For my side I ordered their famous organic handmade sweet potato fries. Hands down, these were the best sweet potato fries I have ever had. They came out just stacked to the hills and falling off of my plate. Each one was perfectly crispy on the outside with the delicious tender core. I was upset with myself that I had eaten breakfast earlier that day because I wanted more room to pack in the amazing meal. All I can say is that when I finished eating I nearly shed a tear for my empty plate.
As for the service. Outstanding! The staff was incredibly friendly and full of energy. Although they were relatively busy for a weekday and it being after standard lunch hours, they were still very efficient with taking our order and getting our food out in a very timely manner. There was plenty of space to sit a lots of wonderful accents of décor to entertain the eye. The establishment was very clean and welcoming and although I am a northerner, I felt right at home in their rustic chairs and wooden bench booths. I will definitely be visiting this place again the next time I am in Round Rock for any reason. Thank you Greenhouse Craft Food.
And thank you, John! Come back to Round Rock soon, and take me with you to Greenhouse next time!
