Great service; terrific new approach to pan-Asian food. Fun find! Leaning towards Indian flavor palette... long overdue for this area. Glad to see it read more

Great little spot in nac. The way they renovated the place is nice. The server was extremely friendly! I got pad Thai and asked for it spicy, they delivered! The spice was flavorful and built nicely. Was not too spicy. My wife got the basil fried rice w/chicken and she loved it!!! The food is great! read more

My daughter is a big fan so we have been here 3 times. Great selection & have a long list of beer & ale.

Pros: The Seafood PO is delicious. That is why there is 2 stars instead of 1. Cons: The noodles were way undercooked and crunchy. Removed them from the soup. It took over 5 minutes to get a drink. The bartender is so slow. read more

The place is too fancy. It's too fancy for me. I like the lights. It's fancy. The TVs are super duper huge. The lights look like the planets and the stars are outside the sun in the middle. I'm hungry. My book had a happy sad end and one of the kids had to move to California and everyone said "yayaya my girlfriend is gone." I like noodles but they have to be plain. And I finally found the best French fries in the WORLD! The noodles are the best noodles in the UNIVERSE with soy sauce. I'm guessing the Coca Cola thingamajig has the same flavor. I'm a very wise kid. And weird. read more

If you're looking for real flavors, creative products, Bar Keeps is amazing. Not a greasy college town dive, but a high quality well groomed restaurant that happens to serve drinks. Serving 44 Farms beef is evidence enough to their commitment to excellence. Kimchi fries, red curry, samosas. All with rich authentic flavors. Nacogdoches lacks in the ethic fare area... and this makes up for it in a big way. Coming from the ethnic food hub of Texas (Houston) I recommend this joint X5. read more

Bar Keeps Eatery and Taps - Red Curry with Chicken Samosas - Bars Near Me - Nacogdoches, Texas

The food was good and priced nicely. Firecracker shrimp are fantastic. The environment was pretty empty and quiet when we went on Friday at 7:30. Our waitress was very nice although she had to come back to ask again what we had ordered. Unfortunately our drinks didn't come out until after we were done eating. read more

Impromptu date night we found ourselves at Bar Keeps again. My husband got the firecracker chicken bowl (it was fantastic, especially the kimchi). I got the red curry chicken, I've gotten this before but this time it was not as we've had before. The manager made it right and the service was fantastic. Daddy's Blueberry/ blackberry juice box on draft was delightful. Will be back! read more

Hands down the best General Tso's chicken I've ever had. Whole new level. Tristin the bartender was the coolest and made a killer salty dog. This place is a must read more

Had their ramen it was delicious but it tasted a little too much like ginger but other thank that the food i ordered was good

The food seems to be good. I ordered bang shrimp with fried rice. It was lunch and it was over $17.00. I was surprised. I thought it would be $12 at most. They taste was good, but the dish was pretty small. I would never order that again for that price. Can't see how they stay in business with those prices. read more

Okay I have to say, I love this place! I recommend it to many. Even if you just go to have the spicy cheese dip with the hubby or drinks with the girls it's great. Nice interior, I would say maybe add a little music in there in that big room other than that I'd say overall suits me!! read more

Do not get the 8 ounce filet mignon. " it's not 8 ounces" was maybe 5. It was burnt on the outside and took over an hour to get out. And friends food was pretty much the same read more

Bar Keeps is by far my favorite restaurant in Nac. The cuisine is eclectic from American, Chinese, Indian, Spicy, even vegan & gluten free options, the taste of the food is amazing...not the same old boring spices. The prices are more than fair, the plate portions are bigger than average. If you like sports, they have several games on large TVs. On the negative side: The ambience is a bit lacking, the chairs need to be replaced and the waiters are slow but adequate, but still professional. read more

Dear Barkeeps, I think it's time we took a break. We used to spend a lot of time together, so many great times. But lately, I've felt like you've been neglecting me. Your service has been declining, and you have been surprising me with upcharges that aren't stated anywhere on your menu. These surprises are more disappointing than the thirty minutes you leave me to ponder if I even mean anything to you anymore after being seated. I almost feel like I have to beg for your attention. There is one thing I still love about you, and that is your delicious food. But sometimes, even with our greatest qualities, our worst ones overshadow them. I think this time apart will be good for both of us. This will be a fantastic time for you to focus on yourself. Maybe there will be a spark again one day, but until then just know that I still care about you and wish you the best on making improvements. Sincerely, Your very heartbroken patron read more

This was such an unexpected surprise. They offer so many delicious and different options! My sister got the pad tai and it definitely was spicy but delicious. I got the potstickers and firecracker shrimp. The shrimp were crispy and delicious! I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town. read more

This place is consistently great! The tofu stir fry is usually a sure thing. They also make a great Moscow Mule.

Wanted to see if they could manage to do such a wide variety well -- from Indian to Vietnamese to Korean to Japanese. Nailed it! Impressive selection of draft beer on tap, imaginative cocktails to pair with the menu. Surprised to see some Texas Sake on offer as well. Was not expecting to find such a gem on our visit to Nacogdoches. read more

Just ate there this afternoon, great food and portions are awesome! The food and beverages were good and the spiciness of the shrimp rice was just right. It was nice to order fried rice with shrimp and there was plenty of shrimp! This place gives you the proper amount of food for the price. Everyone was really nice and the waitress was polite and helpful. read more

Bold new flavors in North East Texas in one of the oldest towns around. Bar Keeps set up to be a new favorite in the area. Excellent flavors coming out of the kitchen I had a couple of Shares as they call the appetizers. Also enjoyed the Chipotle Mango Chicken. This chicken was moist and full of flavors you just can't find in Nacogdoches. Awesome experience all around. read more

If you looking to try their Asian cuisine, be aware of it. I myself grew up eating most of the food they offer and have tasted it from various locations but this restaurant did not surpass it. Their pad Thai was slimy, sticky and sour. And their chicken pho is more of a bland chicken soup with chunky noodles. It may be a personal referenced mine but this place disappointed me. read more

Bar Keeps is one of the best restaurants of Nac. Try their chicken pad thai, you wont be disappointed. So much delicious food for one order

We found y'all. Best beer. Boudin egg rolls. Who knew? We here for kabob night. Great wines. Beers. Bar. Open till midnight. It's Friday. Bar was filling up at 9. Clean. Great attentive staff. Thanks. We had samosas. Sauces from heaven. Chutney great. I strongly recommend for date night. Sharing was simple. read more

This is hands down the best food in East Texas. We moved from Houston a few years ago and so missed Thai and Indian food. This place has BOTH and good beer as well. Also for the less adventurous there's burgers, sandwiches, and much Back here several times. This is not just the best food in East Texas but the best place anywhere. I can't get myself to quit ordering the Thai and Indian options but I here they are incredible as well. I want to eat here everyday! Too bad I live an hour away! read more

Great find in Nacogdoches! Amazing selection of beer and the good was so good. With the name, I expected typical bar fare but it's a cool mix of Asian fusion dishes. You can get your traditional burger but bulgogi style! I had house fried rice and thoroughly enjoyed it! Portion sizes are really good as well, we all had leftovers. read more

I had the thai basil fried rice just spice level 1 and it was AMAZING, and the portions are huge, it's awesome. The mimosa was yummy. I also had my mom's gluten free normal fried rice, spice level 2 and it was good as well. Will go back again hopefully soon, I'm wanting to try the crab fried rice next. read more

I love that they have gluten free options and that the menu is very diverse. I've only been twice, but the Thai curry and the veggie pho are delicious and the cocktails were nice and strong. read more

It makes me sad that I've been to this place 3 times and the service has been horrible every time. The staff basically ignores your presence. There is one waiter who is working his butt off to pick up the slack of others. This restaurant has a lot of potential. The food is good, but the service is so disappointing that it ruins the experience. read more

I ordered a chicken teriyaki bowl. I loved the rice that it came with and i loved the fact that it came with cucumbers, avocado, and lettuce. The sesame seeds on the cucumbers and avocado give the dish a great flavor. I also ordered the pork kimchi taters and really enjoyed the potato and pork flavor. All reasonably priced as well, will definitely be coming again soon! read more

I visited this new restaurant recently, and I think it is nice. The remodeling of the old restaurant makes the place nicer. They have 28 taps (mostly craft beer), about twice that number of bottles/can, and probably the best selection of top shelf liquor in town. The menu is good, but limited (they are supposedly expanding the menu soon), focusing on Thai and Indian. For lunch, I had the chicken curry, which consisted of several pieces of very tender chicken in a spicy broth with rice and naan on the side. read more

Fresh and new place to eat in Nacogdoches. Was great nothing like it in Nacogdoches. Can tell that chicken was cook over an open flame and moist on the inside. The shares were great for the table. I loved all the sauces. If you love spice this is the place for you read more

My friends and I ate here for lunch. It was quick enough for an hour long lunch break. We shard pad Thai and asked for it extra spicy- not for the faint of heart. A wonderful experience for anyone looking for something different and delicious in Nacogdoches. read more

We love this place! Eat here every time we come visit our son at SFA. Definitely recommend the egg rolls, too! And their beers are also creative and delicious. read more

Awesome place with amazing asian fusion food and a great beer/drink selection. Rare gem in East, TX.

Got here at 1:07. It is now 1:56pm we still have no food. They gave us a menu for breakfast items. My husband was not happy with that. He said if he wanted breakfast he would eat at IHop. How long does it take to cook eggs and baccon? The poor wait staff are being run ragged. It looks like there are just 4 of them. Finally got it st 2:04. The food was actually good and filling. Could not find our waiter half the time though. Now that we have tried it wee probaly wont come back read more

This place is so amazing!!! The food is so good and takes me back to Living in Cali with the different diversity! We tried just about all the shareables and they were amazing and very filling. The Thai beef salad had the flavor but the beef was a lil more rare then what I'm use to so id ask for that to get cooked longer. All the Curry's were amazing! Ramen, Brussels sprouts, just everything was amazing!!! We had our kids and nieces and my mom and aunt which made us a table of 11 so 7 kids and most of the workers were nice about it but some of the bar tenders gave some unfavorable looks. Otherwise I CAN NOT WAIT to go back and eat there again. I'm fat t heart and love all food. Something I miss about Cali! But so happy I found this gem!!! read more

Excellent!! Would recommend to everyone, the food is so fresh and there is nothing like it around here. The chef and owner really know what they are doing!! Lots of options for different tastes too! read more

I'm giving this restaurant FIVE STARS! In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Nacogdoches, TX! I am a proud Houstonian and every now and then I come down to East Texas to visit family/friends and I have got to say, I am really impressed. They have a great selection of drinks (aka Karbach* I'm a Houstonian here* lol & others as well ) , amazing happy hour prices and the food is great! No disappointments or complaints here, I definitely recommend and without a doubt will be back for sure! read more

I love Thai food and was so excited to see a Thai restaurant come to Nac! I've given them a chance twice and have been extremely disappointed. The Thai curry tasted like a salty soup, I did not taste any Thai curry spices. The server told me there wasn't a difference between the Indian and Thai curry which should have been my first red flag. There was bitter burnt garlic in the ramen and the noodles had a strange and chewy consistency. Last time we were there at 10:30 and they close at 12 and the servers were sweeping and mopping around our feet like we had overstayed our welcome. I really hope they work on their spices and I think it could be a great hit for Nac! the inside is very pretty and it has great potential! read more

Service is for crap. In process of waiting now 45 minutes for meal....waiting....waiting....waiting
