2626 State Hwy 71

Excellent! After we got off the Austin Airport, this was our first stop and I didn't realize it was a bit out of the way but no matter, if I wanted to try real pecan pie , this was the place. It worth to come here if you have love of pecans or nuts! LOL Yes we ended up buying 3 pecan bags of their most popular flavors and I bought my big pie to go! Nice cashier and clean restroom. You can't miss this place in the middle of just highway and a huge big squirrel , Ms. Pearl? MEET THE LEGEND THE BERDOLL PECAN GIANT SQUIRREL! Also, Berdoll's has extra large paper shell pecans grown straight fromTexas! Pecans are available inshell, cracked, shelled and a variety of chocolate, candied and savory pecans! Everything is manufactured in our 9,000 square foot factory! Enjoy a taste of Texas!

I drive by this store on many drive back from the Houston area to Austin and never forget the giant squirrel. I finally decided to pop in and see what it's all about. Such a cute store with all the pecan merchandise and local Texas area merch. The ladies working were super sweet to check in on me and offered samplings of their many pecan flavors. The Ms. Pearl merch is absolutely adorable. I can't...had me cracking up. I'll be back next time I pass through!

Craving some pecan pie or chewy pralines at 2am?? Berdoll gotchu with their 24/7 vending machine full of all sorts of pecan treats!! You'll know you're in the right place when you see a giant squirrel on the side of the highway - that's Ms Pearl and she's usually decked out in the latest fashion trend haha! On my last visit (April 2024), Ms Pearl was rocking her eclipse glasses - ready for totality!! I always try to pay a visit anytime I'm in the area - they have some of the most delicious pecan pie and pralines I've had. And I love their pecan rolls! This is a family owned and run farm - I'm told they have over 15,000 pecan trees and a large factory on site where they create all their magical pecan treats like the fudge and pecans covered in all sorts of yummy toppings like chocolate and cinnamon sugar etc. You can buy bags of plain pecans - in shell or out. They have various types of pecan pie too - with whole halves or just pieces etc. - basically any kind of pecan delicacy you could possibly want! Staff are always super friendly, prices are great, and they have lots of fun pecan and squirrel themed home decor and other items too. The vending machine outside is truly available 24/7 and restocked with fresh goodies regularly - it takes cash and card. Don't forget to pay a visit to Ms Pearl out front - and even take a little walk around the lake in back - I see hawks out there almost every time! Definitely a must stop when traveling through the beautiful Texas Hill Country!

You ever run across a hidden gem and you wonder how you hadn't heard of it before? This is THAT!!! I was in the area to visit family and was attracted to the huge squirrel but decided I would wait until coming back to see what he store had to offer. I'm beyond pleased when I got the chance to stop in. First, when you walk in the door there's a smell that invites your senses to come in and look around. It's a pecan store you think to yourself but it's so much more. Besides just bags of pecans that you can purchase they also have chocolate covered pecans amongst so many other flavored treats, they have local honey, candles, clothing, pecan pie, some of the best fudge and lots of other things that you may not know that you needed or want. AND just in case you stop by and they are closed, they have a vending machine with some of the most popular items. The staff working were extremely friendly and helpful, especially when trying to decide which piece of fudge I wanted. The caramel pecan pieces are some of the best I've ever had. Overall this was a great stop and we enjoyed ourselves. Don't forget to take picture with the squirrel and email it to them so you can be added to their window!

Fun place to stop along the highway about 30 minutes from South Austin. They have pretty much everything pecan and squirrel-related that you could ever ask for! Also a great place for unique gifts. We love their pecan brittle and sugar-free chocolate covered pecans. If you happen to drive by while they're closed, never fear -- you can also buy several items from their vending machine outside at the front of the store.

This halfway way point from Htown to Austin is a great stopping point for everything Pecan and gifts. They have tons of veteran made hot sauces shaped in grenade glass jars .I don't know why but coming from a military family I find those amusing and fun. They have several veteran made companies that offer items inside.Glad to see that. Also, they have every variety of flavored pecans and will give samples if asked. Flavored pecan fudge and specialty jellies are definitely another reason to stop. It is on the right side of road so an easy stop on 71 going towards Austin. Been there many times and will return on next Austin vacay.

3.5 Do you like pecans? Do you like gigantic squirrel statues? Then this roadside shop is the one for you. They have several types of pecans from dark chocolate to spicy mixes. They also have some candy, honey, and other items to buy. The staff was sure to let me know that you can even try some of the nuts before you commit to buying some. The funny thing was the vending machine out front where you could buy a giant pecan pie of all things. Parking was easy. The store is in front of a lake you can look at and taking a selfie with the squirrel is fun too. I might come back here sometime when I have a bit more time.

What a Texas jewel this pecan store is! I use their pecans every holiday season for pies, cookies and just to eat straight up! Customer service, Daphne, is so helpful. She worked with me on a special shipping request. I'm not in Texas anymore and I sure miss just going by their place. God bless 'em!

This place is located about 5 minutes from my cousins place that we were visiting. Just off the highway you wont miss the giant squirrel in the front. On our last day we came by to purchase some souvenirs and gifts for our friends. I was in awe of this place and wish I came by sooner. I could have spent hours here looking around. I picked up 4 mini pecan pie pack which were yummy and travelled well. I also got white chocolate covered pecans and honey glazed pecans. Everything I have tasted so far has been delish. My cousin has also sent me some jam from here last year. Overall, I highly recommended this place! I cant wait to come back.

Drove past this on the way to Houston this weekend- saw the giant squirrel statue, of course- and just knew we'd have to stop on our way back home. And so we did. Totally adorable little shop along the road with so many delicious offerings, decor, t-shirt, souvenirs, and more! Absolutely great for getting someone a gift because they have lots of different tins or containers with samples of all their varieties of candied pecans. You can also stock up if you like buying in bulk and get BIG BAGS of shelled, cracked, or in-the-shell pecans. There's lots of great pecan related cooking goods too, such as ground into a flour-like substance or pecan oil- can't wait to try making fried chicken with these! Harley was an incredible sales person with a passion for pecans! She was extremely knowledgeable and friendly to boot. When we entered she greeted us and asked if we needed any assistance finding anything, and as we browsed she would make helpful recommendations and tell us more about the products, and suggestions on complementary items. She gave us a pamphlet on the uses of pecan oil (+recipes) as well as the store's catalogue, because apparently you can also order and they will ship to you! Nice. My husband and I were also tickled by the 24 hour pecan vending machine out front (if you happen to come after hours)- you can even buy pies out of it, LOL! Restroom was clean and had a lot of fun squirrel photos to look at while you did your business, haha. They even sell little pecan trees if you're looking to start your own personal orchard. ;) Before leaving we went out to the giant squirrel statue to take fun photographs to memorialize our visit. =) Be careful when entering or exiting, the parking lot is a steep drop in from the busy highway where lots of folks are driving really fast.

I first tried Berdoll Pecan Pie last thanksgiving when our aunt brought it for the family. I must say my life has changed since! The Berdoll Pecan Pie is by far the VERY BEST pecan pie I had ever had in my life! And I must say I've had many during my life time because pecan pie is my favorite of all pies! What makes the Berdoll's pecan pie special is that the pecan quality is superb and you can definitely taste the difference between Berdoll pecan pie versus store bought. Berdoll have their own pecan farm and the pie is unique homemade by them! Berdoll's pecan pie is not over sweet and just the perfect amount of sweetness. They also offer sugar free pecan pies too! You can order it online on their website or do store pick up like I did. The pecans on the pie is huge which I love! They also offer pecan pies with the pecans in smaller pieces if you prefer it that way. I personally love the larger size pecans on the pie! It's delicious and definitely worth 26.99 per pie. What you are paying for is one quality pie with delicious freshly picked pecans! The Berdoll's store offers many variety of things so it's worth checking out! It kinda reminds me of a Cracker Barrel store. There is a lot of pecans you can buy and squirrel things (their mascot) along with many cool other gift things. They also have fudge, chocolate, hot sauce, candles, and massive whole pecans uncracked you can buy. Staff is really nice and helpful people. I will be buying more pecan pies from them! And they are worth checking out!

very bad crop pecans was dry and some of them was rotten. When I cracked them open. I ordered carmel popcorn that was very bad also. My parents ordered for years form Berdoll but I will not I'll find another place

Great place if you're looking for that gift that's different. They have a large array of options. Not to mention nuts lol. Plain, coated, in stuff (pies, fudge, and more!). They also have chocolate covered strawberries . By the way if you miss them open, they have a outdoor vending machine 24 hours lol.

The service at Berdoll's is great! Recommend buying fresh pecan pies, not ones that were previously frozen. The difference in quality is noticeable. Being a small business is difficult. I understand that prices need to be a little higher because of the lower number of customers. However, Berdoll prices are very high. I didn't realize until I checked out that a medium-size package of chocolate-covered pecans cost $40! The common saying in the area and among visiting guests is "Stop and take a free picture with the giant squirrel, but don't go inside to shop unless you have a LOT of money"!

"The pecan pie is extraordinary! The whole store has a cozy atmosphere, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. It's a must-visit!"

Definitely a tourist stop. You have to take a picture with Pearl the squirrel. But the prices and items inside are definitely a tourist stop. They do have a pie vending machine which is cool to see. The staff was very nice. But it's a place you take out of town friends and family.

This place is awesome, I might be kind of biased because we stopped here twice while on a group trip (professional trip, for work) but all of the employees were super nice. The manager even gave us some water bottles to take with us when we left. Make sure to get a picture with Ms. Pearl, the squirrel, also! She's outside and kinda hard to miss ... I ended up buying some of the honey pecans, and they look delicious. There are samples all over the store, too, so make sure to try before you buy. Overall, would definitely come here again next time I'm in the Austin area.

I went to Berdoll's store once when visiting the Austin TX area a few years ago. It was a nice experience, they sell a lot of good things to eat there! Ever since that visit, we have been periodically ordering pecans online from Berdoll. The order typically arrives within several days, and the pecans are invariably really fresh and delicious. They are far better than anything we can get locally in central NJ.

On a Texas road trip, so we had to stop and check out the giant squirrel! Got here just in time before the bigger crowds arrived, so we did the touristy thing and got some pictures before heading inside for the goodies. There's a pie vending machine outside that they were refilling, so I'm sure those are fresh, but that's an interesting way to get your pie fix on. Inside, they've got everything pecan. Prices are high here so I couldn't justify really splurging, but we did opt for a sampler pack. They are indeed great nuts, so well worth indulging. Wish I could give everything else a try, so maybe next time! They've got just about everything else pecan related including the trees, so this would be worth a quick stop if it's on the way.

Finally stopped in! Been traveling back and forth from Houston to Austin countless number of times over the years. Glad I finally stopped in to this country gift shop. Tons of fresh shelled varieties- Pawnee is my fav- meaty & big- great for my Christmas baking! Samples available, great homemade pecan pies. Squirrel statue was main reason I finally stopped- I'm such a nerd

We stopped here today after seeing pictures of the pie vending machine online. It is a cute little shop with lots to offer. You can't miss the giant squirrel outside and it even had a mask on during this time. The vending machine was not working to let us get a pie out of it but the employees were super nice and we just bought one inside. It is pretty pricy, but everything we got was great. They have about every kind of flavor pecan you could imagine and they also have fudge and giant candles shaped just like a pecan pie. Definitely a cool experience!

My husband and I have seen the Berdoll Pecan Farm multiple times driving down Hwy 71 going to Buc-cee's. This time we decided to check them out. Once we parked we immediately saw a pecan and pecan pie vending machine. WHAT???!!! The vending machine allows you to purchase after hours and you can pay with either cash of credit. Upon entering the store I saw a variety of Austin stuff to include T-shirts, mugs, magnets, knick knacks, giant wind chimes, and novelty nut crackers. There was a variety of food to include jellies, jams, pickled veggies, salsa, bbq sauce, fudge, etc. Now onto the Pecans. There were pecans everywhere throughout the store for sampling and buying. You could get them in plain (shelled or unshelled), BBQ seasoning (delicious), salt and pepper, dark chocolate coated, milk chocolate coated, white chocolate coated, honey glazed and as a bonus to your diabetic friends you can buy sugar free chocolate pecans. The pecans tasted delicious and the staff was extremely friendly. Before you leave you must go to the front and take a pictures with Pearl the Squirrel. Fun facts about Pearl (via the website): she is 14 ft tall, has been there since August 2011, was in 10 Weirdest Things to see in Texas, people take a picture with her 30-100x per day!! You can submit your photo online and be shown on her guest photo wall.

I eat raw pecans ALL the time and love Berdoll for eating as a snack (or dinner when I don't feel like cooking)! I order sooo much I wouldn't be surprised if they know me by my name and order...5lb bag pecan halves LOL! For the sweet lovers definitely get the chocolate covered pecans...put them in the fridge and it's the perfect cheat snack (I won't tell your trainer if you don't)!

The staff is super friendly! Very helpful and welcoming. Warning: this place has so many delicious looking snacks and fun knick-knacks that it's not a cheap date. They have a huge assortment of seasoned pecans from sweet to savory, smoky to spicy, and everything in between. Pies are delicious, and the peaches we picked up are some of the best we've ever had. They also have a 24/7 pie dispenser if you ever get a hankering for pecan pie!

We came for the pecan pie vending machine and stayed for the candy samples and gift shop inside. I was a little disappointed to see that they only had large pies in the vending machine so we ended up going inside the store to buy a box of 4 smaller pies. There were many samples of the different types of nuts and candies and a variety of souvenirs. The staff was helpful and friendly. Another must see attraction here is the large squirrel statue out front. She was dressed for the holidays when we were there. It was a quick 15 min drive from the airport and worth the trip.

My boss always orders her pecans and pecan pie from here every thanksgiving. She stumbled upon the place one year and since then orders from a catalog. The pecans (all the different types) and the pies are the best I've ever had. This weekend I myself stumbled upon the location heading to and from Austin so we stopped by and quickly bought a few items. They're pretty pricey $13.50 for a bag of plain pecans out of the shell and $17 for a bag of mixed flavor pecans. $24 for a pecan pie. They sell fudge too of different flavors you can try. My toddler loved the chocolate fudge. $17/4 fudge chunks. Pretty big souvenir place with ornaments , goat milk lotion ($13...I bought one too), and home decor.

I was told that we absolutely had to stop at Berdoll's on our way to Austin. The pecans are known to be the best ones in Texas and they commonly sell them at Buc-ee's. We stopped at this shop on the side of the freeway and enjoyed all the different types of pecan items they had to offer. The dark chocolate pecan brittle was absolutely amazing! I definitely got a bag to take home. They also have regular pecans, chopped pecans as well as various flavors like a aloha mix and chocolate covered pecans. They are expensive but they are very high quality and tasty. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. Be sure to visit the giant squirrel statue. It is the tallest squirrel statue in the country! And if you email them your photo, they'll print it and put it on the wall!

The owner and staff are amazing!!!! We just stopped over for pecan pie for thanksgiving and it looks amazing. We were looking for pumpkin pie and they ran out so the lovely woman at the register GAVE US HER OWN PIE for her thanksgiving! That amount of kindness from a stranger is the most wonderful feeling! Thank you ladies!

A little expensive; kind of like a tourist shop. Really nice, though! I get tomatoes there, and peaches when in season. Yum! I sometimes buy gifts for people too.

Best Pecan Pie EVER!! Everyone is very welcoming and friendly! promise you won't be disappointed!

this place has something for everyone and if you don't know what it is you want but figure it out later, even after closing time, there's a chance the 24hr vending machine located outside might scratch your itch. there are samples of everything inside, from savory to sweet. employees will help you if you're overwhelmed but i also found they'll leave you alone if you know what it is you've come for. that's a nice balance! the best part is posing with ms. pearl, the squirrel! how can that not be fun?!

Overpriced and not pet friendly when being located next to a big pet friendly resort.....I was excited to stop in.....dog is under complete control (in my arms...8lbs)....not somewhere I will spend my money to support small town local.....pets are family too....

When I drive to Austin, I always pass this place with the HUGE tall sign that flashes "Pecans!". So, I finally had to stop and see what this place was about. The outside does not do it justice. The inside is packed full of gifts and friendly staff. We walked in and were warmly greeted by a bunch of different people working there. We looked at all of the different pecan items and got some pecan brittle and candied pecans. In addition to the pecan gifts, there are Christmas ornaments, UT/A&M stuff, goofy red neck gifts, and more! There were free samples of fudge and all of the pecans. We ended up with some different pecan treats for work. The BEST part of this place is the 24 hour vending machine outside that dispenses pecan treats as well as whole pecan pies. I almost wanted to purchase a pie to see how the machine actually spits it out. Very novel.

Well really now, when you're driving down a dull stretch of highway and you see a giant squirrel clutching a pecan outside of a roadside shop, of course you stop in! Berdoll's is known for "Ms. Pearl the Squirrel" (you can take your pic with her and email it to "her" email address, and you will be put on their wall with other similar pics). It is also known for nuts. Pecans are king here (as one might infer from the statue), and you can get a variety of flavors. I picked honey roasted and promptly gnashed through them in two days. In addition to nuts, homemade fudge and other treats, there are general-type souvenirs, but I have to say that things seemed not only pricey but overpriced. I'd say stick with the nuts and get the "greetings from Austin" goods elsewhere.

Found this place while searching for pies near the Austin area and decided to give it a try. The place was luckily open on thanksgiving so we decided to go get ourself a a pie. You can't miss this place since there is a giant squirrel outside the store. The store is a very country type of store that sells candy, many variations of pecans as well as unique trinkets. Everyone we saw coming out of the store had a couple of pies so we knew they must be something special. We came out with two pecan pies which totaled $50 but mind you these are made from scratch so I can justify the price. They were a hit at out thanksgiving party! Tasted really homage and fresh when put it the oven for a couple of minutes. Might have to come back next year again!?

What I miss the most since COVID is ALL the samples that used to be in the store. the pecans are always so fresh and all the yummy pecan treats are a feast. Since I only visit Texas I now web order. The customer service is such a good representation of the quality of the product -- all good. Berdoll pecans make the best presents.

Adorable store that smells amazing from the moment you walk in. Lots of pecan goodies, Texas souvenirs, squirrel paraphernalia, and unique finds. We picked up a few Texas teas, an original sugar cane Dr. Pepper, milk chocolate pecan brittle, an amazing ruby grapefruit goat milk lotion, a very cute bushy-tailed squirrel puppet for my kindergarten classroom (my littles are already in love with him), and a few Ms. Pearl magnets to remind us of this charming and fun stop. We will never just pass Berdoll's again on our way to Austin.

Excellent service and products here!!! I had no idea that pecans could be THIS good!!! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Berdoll's. I especially enjoyed my pecan-flavored coffee that I savored as I browsed each aisle of this fantastic shop!!!

Like the other commenters it is pricy, but like I say you get what you pay for. I got about 80 bucks of pecans and it's wasn't that many.

Great place for a hot cup of coffee and lots of pecans, it's fun to look at all the tourist stuff. The only other giant squirrel we've seen was a candy company in Sinton. I wish they'd make up some smaller bags of the assorted sugar free offerings, if I buy the smallest size they sell...i'll eat the whole thing on the way back to the house.

Look for the gargantuan squirrel and you will find a pie vending machine and a plethora of roadside goodies. They will even ship it for you but according to the TSA website pies are OK to fly with. We made this our last stop before the airport and only wish that we could have tasted some pie.

Always enjoy stopping here on our way home to houston. It's a fun experience with lots a yummy foods and gift/souvenir items.

"I think it is called Will Lane." - one of the three extremely beautiful women working at Berdoll Pecan Farms on Highway 71. "Will?" - me, with rapt curiosity, completely distracted by her beauty. "I think it is CALLED Will Lane." - Berdoll woman, kindly trying to point me in the right direction of Little Thailand for lunch. "It is called... Will... Lane?" - me, feeling like I am learning a new language in a foreign country and saying the same word over and over and over and not getting it right. "No, CALLED Will Lane." - her, beginning to raise her voice. "Oh, so it is called Will Lane." me, while thinking, "who the fuck is on first" and, "do NOT start yelling at me about the name of a street, it is NOT that big of a deal" and, "Merde, our first fight." "Yes, CALLED WILL. LANE. That is it." --her, looking at me like I am a Martian who has just landed here, guided by her overly high and bright red, blinking neon sign that speaks my real language, "CHOCOLATE...COVERED...PECANS", but that is all the English that I know. I am a Martian for god's sake, come here to eat chocolate covered pecans and drive you crazy while I am still learning your fucking language. Actually, sit down here before I zap you with my gun, you WILL teach me your language! "Oh, Caldwell Lane?" -me, laughing. "Yes, and I think it's pretty easy to miss." -her.

This place is fabulous ~!!! Highly recommend! A great place to find gifts or when you want the perfect nut for parties!

This off-the-side-of-the-highway Pecan store has a little bit of kitsch, magnets that were half the price (yet, the exact same ones) as they sold at my hotel, and about 20 different varieties of Pecans at pretty decent prices. Me? I purchased the honey glazed pecans (nomnomnomyumyumyum) and the salted pecans. The staff was friendly without being too pushy (I got to sample several kinds of pecans before purchasing), and overall it's a cute little place that sells everything from BBQ sauce to well...pecans. =)

Fun pit stop on the way to Austin. Pecans everywhere!! We got some peppered pickles that were so spicy.

If you love pecan, this place is the place for you! Delish and fresh... pricey yes but well worth it. You can find anything pecan in here. They also have a VENDING PECAN MACHINE lol outside of the store. Love it!

Little gift shop off the side of the road where they also sell different flavored pecans and pecan pies. We purchased a pie from the vending machine just for the heck of it and it was one of the best pecan pies I've ever had. Also home to the Worlds Largest Squirrel statue of your into that kind of thing. I think it's worth the drive from Austin just for the pie. Try the cinnamon sugar pecans also. They are wonderful.

Berdoll's is amazing! They made such cute favors for our son's wedding welcome bags and their pecans are amazing! They were courteous and very helpful. We have their pecans shipped to us regularly and their no sugar added chocolate pecans are delicious! So is their pecan pie... filled with pecans!
