I south bound going down US 71 late one
evening and decide it was time to stop at one of my favorite eating
establishments. I took the
exit into downtown Smithville, Texas.
I was glad to see the neon "Open" sign lit up on "Pockets
Grill"
If you’ve make it near Smithville you need to
stop by Pockets Grill. The
menu is varied, from the Atomic Meltdown, Fried Pickles, Pablano Chicken
Sandwich, BBQ Chicken pizza to at least 15 different types of burgers

I don’t know of any other place that has anything you
would ever want on a burger self served from the trunk of a 1961 Ford
Galaxie. I’ve been served a
few things out of the trunk of a car but never lettuce, tomatoes and
pickles, etc.

On this night I went for the Cheese Burger.
I went right to the trunk and added jalapeños and lots of onions.
With fries and a cold Dr Pepper it was a good and satisfying meal.

At times Smithville is a touristy town, but most of the times I've been to
Pockets the patrons were locals. It is a real family atmosphere.
Pockets Grill is on the ground floor in an old four story building on Main
St in Downtown Smithville.

One of the unique features of Pockets Grill is that it is
decorated with sigange from the movie "Hope Floats" which
was filmed in Smithville. If you are familar with the movie you will
recognize the props
