Again, a fun place, but I’d go for a burger the next time I visit. The gumbo at Clear Springs was no big deal either. Recently, I asked around Facebook food groups and got some local recommendations that I’ll be trying in 2022. An excellent coffee at Java Jacks and then a so-so lunch at Clear Springs Café.Ĭlear Springs touted their “famous onion rings” but they weren’t that big a deal, certainly not De Weese’s Tip Top Café quality.
The wonderful antique shops in Lufkin were closed and I just walked around main street. Plus, my friend Kaiser, who must watch his sugar too, well I’ll enjoy sharing some of these “sweets” with him.Īnd so, first day. When I crave something sweet, I default to a sugar free option. In this month of June, I decided to bring my triglycerides down. I knew that I wanted to stop in Lufkin at the Atkinson Candy Factory store and buy big bags of sugar free candies. Day 1 - The trip began with some Texas stops.
