Hotels near Bryan

Found a great new restaurant which was housed in an old train depot. Smoked ribs, pork, bison, wings and more. Called Third Rail Saloon. Good food and great service. Very quaint. Owner was very accommodating. Be sure to stop there! Visit the Spangler Candy Factory for a tour of how they make suckers, cotton candy, and various sweets. I would suggest anyone visiting Bryan should try them out. I would avoid staying at the Bryan Inn. In disrepair and dumpy.

I went to visit family, and Brian has really gone downhill in the last 20 years. Industries are gone, and houses are rundown. But there are some really good food options. The town square is charming and still alive, and has a good Mexican grill restaurant, a movie theater with first-run movies, and a wine bar that makes you think you are in a big city. The end of town is a strip mall ugly disaster, but on the other hand is represented by every fast food chain in America.

This place was dirty, old, unstocked, and unsafe. No toilet paper, missing drain plug in vanity, filthy filthy carpet, walls that were scuffed up and in need of paint, and a bathroom window that had no screen and would not even close. Need I say more? Because I could.

I went for the Moon Walk Celebration. The staff and volunteers were super friendly and helpful. Since I wasn't familiar with the area I had a lot of questions but no one is a stranger. There are several town restaurants but limited vegan options. A few nice breweries and local pubs in town. Be sure to stop at Father Johns Brewery to look around. We met and spoke with several nice people during our stay and shared viewing sites from their town to ours. Nothing special about Kora Brewhouse. Live music from Silver Dollar was wonderful. McDonald's offered the worst service imaginable and we only ordered coffee.

I grew up in this town, came back after a few years for a wedding. It’s exactly what you expect from a smaller town. It’s a lot of country and farmland, and not a lot of diversity. It’s easy to feel like an outsider in the town, even if you grew up here. I wouldn’t recommend traveling here because there’s really not much to it. Not a lot of businesses, and not a lot of things to do or tour. Nothing here really worth traveling for. The best spots in the town would have to be the library, corner critters, and maybe the movie theatre if you’re a movie person. Like stated, there’s not much to do so you could probably find some entertainment in the local Walmart as well. I’ve never been, but one of the most notable things to would be to tour the candy and toy factories. I enjoyed getting breakfast from Johns donuts. And the food from cheif’s deli and bakery are always good! Bryan doesn’t offer any means of transportation, which is expected for a small rural town. If you don’t have a car, your best bet is walking. One thing that’s nice about visiting rural towns, is actually seeing nature and farmland. Walking down country roads near the fields is quite peaceful, especially if you don’t see it much!
