We arrived at the peach festival around noon, so we wanted to have lunch before looking around. Beneath a sign reading FRESH BAKED BREAD a line stretched out the front door. It was a small eatery called YESTERDAY'S and it looked like a great place for a meal!
Aside from other menu items, a 'brown bag' special was offered which was perfect for a quick lunch--a choice of sandwich on slices of homemade bread, a bag of chips, pickle and either ice cream, brownie or cookie. We ordered the special and were happy to see a table open up on the second level just when we needed one.
As we waited in line, a basket of cinnamon bread sticks was brought out for sampling. The aroma of bread baking drew more and more people to the small eatery. The atmosphere was friendly and our simple repast very tasty.
Favorite Dish: Home baked bread!

Traffic descended upon Weatherford in steady droves for the Peach Festival, so it was wise of them to set up several shuttle lots in which to park.
We followed the signs leading to one of the lots and parked. After paying admission to the festival ($4 or $5 per adult) we got in line and waited for a shuttle bus to take us to Weatherford's town square. The shuttle itself was free.
To return, we waited about 30-40 minutes as buses filled and departed. This process seemed interminable, but it was better than walking!
