The trick is to get there early so there are plenty of the buckets of whatever is in season at the time. They're usually $1 or $3 and they have a ton of tomatoes, cukes, peppers, etc in each one; unbelievable for the price and freshness. I usually try to buy only what they sell, but some of their prices on other fruits are so good they're hard to pass up. Their fried pies with the cream just seem to have some sort of cream mixture added to provide more richness. Blueberry cream is my fav. I don't like Greaks. I find the prices too expensive and the food not good enough. The sausage on a stick is fine though. They're also easier to find now, and you didn't mention that they offer strawberry picking for the family, you either pay by the container or weight. It's good fun and it's hard to beat fresh strawberries you picked yourself. Their homegrown fresh beans/peas are fantastic when in season too.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10495628501730950089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855897705208332617.post-28015594004909249642010-03-10T10:06:18.364-06:002010-03-10T10:06:18.364-06:00My daughter lived in Alvin last yr and being from ...My daughter lived in Alvin last yr and being from Dallas, it was fun. Froberg's was a treat and I made 2 trips in one week there. The BBQ was good, the strawberries were wonderful. I would like to see the price go down from $1.50 though. It was rainy and did not have enough time. I recommend wearing boots or something that will not come off in the sandy mud and have a second pair in the car to change out of. The fried pies I heard are great, but I am not a fan of sweets. Looking forward to going back in 2 wks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855897705208332617.post-74413526942495155412009-08-17T03:21:13.206-05:002009-08-17T03:21:13.206-05:00To each his own.

Went this morning to get out for a bit and knew that after the kids picked a few strawberries we'd have to make a beeline straight for the fried pies. It had been years since I'd eaten one, and I was glad to get reacquainted with such a delicacy. :)There she goes!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07631016644653411422noreply@blogger.com
