Papa’s on the Lake

January 07, 2011 By: Mai Truong Category: American, Comfort food, sandwiches, Texas


You can hardly ever go wrong with a cheeseburger. When the cheeseburger also comes with a blue lake, a blue sky, a few palm trees too tall to shade off the daring sun, some chilly wind here and there, and extra good company, then you simply cannot go wrong.


Talk about mood lifting food (read it both ways).

Gwyn takes Aaron and me for a ride through the tree-lined roads somewhere in Magnolia to Papa’s on the Lake, right off 105. After an hour long horseback riding in the sun, or more precisely speaking, an hour long sitting on the horse and having him walk around the block, the breeze from Lake Conroe is so inviting I daydream about jumping into the rippling waves. First time riding, what can I say, the old man kept wanting to eat his grass and I kept having to pull his heavy head up to match Aaron’s pace. But as much as my hands get scratched by the leather reins and saddle horn, I’d sit on that horse forever if I could. We hadn’t had lunch and I was full on enjoyment.


Until the blond waitress comes with a laminated hot pink 3-page menu that looks like a folded A4 paper, the entries being country appetizers and sandwiches whose prices are in the single digit range. When Aaron orders some potato skins and I get my first ever bite of those burnt shells covered with chewy dried melted cheese and too generous a drizzle of sour cream, then hunger really kicks in.


While waiting, we also nibble on some stuffed jalapenos, breaded and fried, just as mild as a warm bath.


By the time we wipe our fingers clean of grease with the hastily torn brown paper towel, the sandwiches arrive. Gwyn doesn’t make any comment on his fried chicken strip sandwich, but from its blazing orange look and Gwyn’s speedy finishing, I can only assume it’s a tasty deal.


My cajun shrimp poboy hits the spot. But since I don’t squeeze in any mayo or mustard, the scruffy shrimps and the airy loaf make one dry bundle that’s not much to write home about. Good fries, lots of water, and good chatting end the lunch on a high note. 🙂 Everything together for a bit over $40, and I don’t know if I’m still high from riding the horses or what, but I like this place.

  2. Throughout the great design of things you actually secure an A+ just for effort and hard work. Exactly where you misplaced us was first on your facts. As they say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more correct right here. Having said that, permit me inform you just what did deliver the results. Your authoring is certainly highly powerful and that is probably the reason why I am making the effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can certainly see a leaps in reason you come up with, I am definitely not certain of how you seem to unite the details that produce the actual conclusion. For the moment I will yield to your point however trust in the near future you actually connect your dots much better.
