First time ever coming here. Me and my wife made it a date night . It's about an hour away from us,…read morebut had heard people talk about it, so finally decided to come! It's in a very small town, hardly anything at all but it seems this is the best place to come. We came in on a Friday night at around 6 and it was just starting to get busy. We did not have reservations but they were still able to get us in with no wait. The hostess was very friendly and informative. It didn't take long after we were seated for our waitress to greet us and take our drink order. Soon after our drinks were delivered we were brought bread and our food order was taken. I ordered the Cowboy Ribeye which according to the menu is a "20-22oz bone in Ribeye". However, there was no bone in the Ribeye I received. I also added 2 quail medallions which are quail breasts stuffed with cream cheese, jalapeños and wrapped in bacon. As my sides, I ordered a side house salad and cowboy potatoes. Over all, the meal was very tasty, every thing I ordered, especially the steak (even though I think they gave be a regular ribeye instead of the Cowboy ribeye). You can tell they cook the steaks over an open flame, rather than just a flat top grill. A suggestion to the restaurant is with the steak knives. Both my wife and I got dull knives, which made cutting our steaks very difficult. My wife ordered the New York Strip. I won't write out my wife's opinion of her steak, but the only thing I will say from my perspective is that it was undercooked by about 2 temperatures. Overall, we enjoyed our date night here and are glad we came, but the in our opinion, although the food was good, there was nothing that just really stood out that we felt we could only get from here, that we would want to drive an hour out here again. If we are ever in the area though, we would definitely come back again, the food was good, just not extraordinary. The reason for 3 stars is that although my steak was good, it was the wrong steak. The knives were really dull and made cutting the steak very difficult. My wife's steak was two temperature undercooked and the bathrooms were very dirty.

It's is a bit rare that I order beef these days with prices being exorbitantly higher than what they used to be. However that being said the steaks that I've had were cooked exactly as I had requested and I was not disappointed! The onion blossom with the dipping sauce was crisp and tasty! The perfect appetizer! I have no complaints about the service either! The waitstaff that I've encountered here were polite...respectful...and accommodating! Whatever we wanted they were right on top of things to fulfill our every wish! Smiles from those that waited on us were abundant and certainly added to the enjoyment of our meals. No rudeness or disrespect here! I love the ambiance of this establishment with its low and non-glaring lighting which of course sets it vastly apart from the other establishments to which I've been. The feelings of excitement and expectation were in the air along with an acceptable level of background noise which allow for unfettered conversation amongst us. IF the Ironwood Grill of Texarkana, TX were to ever shut its doors, it would indeed be a day of mourning for me!

The best Asian food in Idabel. Now hold on.....that may not sound like much in such a small town…read more However, this locally owned (Vietnamese owned) restaurant has been around for decades and everything they serve is so good and includes some pretty good American dishes as well; including delicious steaks. I love to get the Cajun chicken pasta with the mushrooms in a creamy sauce. I like to get it spicy. So very good. My favorites though are the beef pho (PERFECT), the Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef and the scrumptious dumplings. Ok, so try ordering just six of those dumplings and see how that works out for ya! Just order a dozen, ok? They are served piping hot and are accompanied by a delicious homemade dipping sauce. The Mongolian Beef includes many delicious vegetables and the large portion is served with an equally large portion of fried rice. The service is attentive and friendly. They truly care that you enjoy the food. The interior is simply decorated. However, there are numerous lovely paintings that were painted by the restaurant owner. Such a nice touch! I have been going to this restaurant for years when passing through Idabel. Prior to COVID, AJ's had a buffet set up in addition to the menu items. I enjoyed the buffet and miss that sometimes. There were numerous Asian and American dishes as well as a salad bar and AWESOME bread pudding. However, the absence of the buffet does not take away from the experience. It's just something I personally miss. In fact, I am pretty certain they still have the bread pudding on the menu. Get that too! Of course, since I am a regular, I will certainly be back!

We got close and Waze had us make a turn on Harris street and my wife panicked. It did not look like a journey meant for us. I proceeded to our destination and the parking lot was packed. We walked in and were greeted and seated. It was a hot day and it was open air seating. It took our bodies about 15 minutes to adjust, and become comfortable. Our server was Edward aka Bubba. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer, and were given a very generous portion. Bubba also added a complimentary crawfish and grits dish that was awesome. My wife ordered the fried catfish , and ordered the blackened Mahi. Both dishes were prepared to perfection, and presented tastefully. We received our order in a very reasonable time. We wanted dessert but they were out. Check this out though, when they do have dessert it is on the house. At Pop's Place the prices are very fair, the portions are over the top, and the service was on point and very hospitable. If you are in Texarkana I highly recommend Pop's Place.
