September 17, 2012 by Brittany Highland Leave a Comment

“I was waiting for inspiration,” he told us.

Texas Hill Country Town of Andice Claims World’s Best Burgers

September 11, 2012 by Eric Highland 26 Comments

Tucked away in practically the middle of nowhere is a tiny little town. You won’t find much in this town, yet people make the trek out there quite frequently.

To give you an idea of how small this place is, in the 2000 census, the population was 25. In 2005, the population was still…25.

Nothing in this little town changes much, except the name. Originally called Stapp, then later renamed to Barry’s Creek, this spot is now on its third name: Andice, TX.

Funny thing is, Andice is not the name the town wanted. They wanted Audice. But postal officials misread the name and Andice became official in 1899.

Why People Make the Trek to Andice, Texas

Our friend Tyler told us about this little town near Georgetown.

Tyler regularly bikes long distance, and one of his favorite destinations is the general store in Andice. It’s a 38 mile trip one way from Austin, and there isn’t much out there besides a couple of churches and the store. [Read more…]
