As soon as you walk in it feels like home. Reminding me of diners that are long gone. Each day they have a special that doesn't break the bank. Service top notch by servers who care about you and the food they serve. Super stoked I had the opportunity to stop by. The BLT and homemade fries were so good. Next time I'll stop by for a daily special may be come everyday for a week of daily specials. read more

Extremely mid food, the ambiance is a little offsetting for sure. Very strange area, weird part of Garland for sure. The staff was very welcoming and helpful, the food was okay, not super fresh and pretty oily/greasy. The veggies were not very fresh, plenty of food for the price. read more

First time visit. Underwhelming!! Went on Wednesday for the fried chicken. My chicken was missing both the skin and breading. No... it didn't come off after cooking. It was fried that way! So the cook obviously felt it OK to give me deep-fried butt naked chicken, and the server had to have seen it, and obviously felt it OK to give me deep-fried butt naked chicken. Dry AF!! No seasoning. Green beans had to be canned... no flavor at all. Mac and cheese was watery cheese and mac. No flavor. My wife hated her meal. We won't be back for sure! read more

The Beef House is not far from our house. If it hadn't been for Yelp I would still have no clue it was there. Walking in you get the impression you've stepped back a few years. It is a place to get a solid meal. The utensils were of low quality but served their purpose. We both got a kick out of the mismatched coffee mugs. That one fact may have defined Beef House best. I got the steak and Tish got the CFS. The steak was on the tough side but tasty. Tish was impressed that the CFS wasn't all breading. I can't comment as I didn't taste it myself. Tish seemed happy enough. The eggs and hash browns were 100% American Cafe. They were perfect. The coffee--I think it was Community coffee, but, I'm not positive. It was good and the refills were always on time. Wait staff--pleasant, polite, as well as, there when you needed them. read more

Heard and read mixed reviews about the food, service and ambiance. I prefer to and am willing to risk it for myself. Popped in for a late lunch/breakfast. It's definitely old school and I love that. On the back side of a once bustling neighborhood shopping center. Could almost mistake it for vacant! Has the coolest sign I must mention. Mostly older folks there which means they are lifers! Ordered rib eye and eggs. Son ordered pork chops and eggs. We were pleasantly surprised with the quality and portion size! Cooked nicely and came out hot and fresh. Waitress was super sweet and attentive. Owner came by for a quick check up and asked if everything was cool. You don't get that anymore except for joints like this. It's affordable and delicious! It's no Michelin star restaurant. It's old school just the way we like it! We will be back! read more

We read about Beef House on Garland Foodie and thought we would give it a try. Oh no wish we had not. Old diner might have been amazing back in the day. There was nothing outstanding barely good. I went with a pancake and then shared Tiki Hubby CFS breakfast. Main disappointment was the pre processed meat patty hard as a rock instead of the promised hand batter CFS, followed by the burnt topped cold biscuits and floating in grease hash browns, It was easy to leave most of the meal behind. Gave it a 3 star as waitress was amazingly fun sarcastic. read more

I don't understand all these glowing reviews. Because of them, a friend and I went there for dinner. My chicken fried steak, fried okra, and my friend's chicken fried chicken were obviously just pre-prepared frozen items that had been tossed in the fryer. Our green beans were bland and clearly right out of a can. The rolls and cornbread were dry and hard. The only thing that was rather good was the mashed potatoes. Not only that, but the place is shabby, and desperately in need of updating. That would be forgivable if the food were better. read more

A true gem of a diner that I thought only existed in yesteryear! It's obvious a few of the other reviewers here completely missed what this restaurant is about. Fine dining it is not. Gourmet steakhouse it is not. Hole-in-the-Wall? Greasy Spoon? Mom & Pop Diner? Yes, yes, and yes! My wife and I just visited for the first time and will be back. She is pregnant and was craving the calf liver and onions with brown gravy and fried okra. I had the chicken fried steak with pinto beans and green beans. We shared plates and both were amazing--the liver and onions were the best I've ever had (sorry Mom!). Based on what I saw the other customers enjoying, I'm looking forward to trying the meatloaf, fried catfish, chicken and dumplins, and half-pound burger. I'm also wanting to try their steak and eggs. The pricing was remarkably affordable. The owner was visible our entire visit. Our waitress was very attentive, friendly, and kept our glasses topped up with crisp iced tea. As another reviewer mentioned most patrons seemed to know each other and the owner. I thought this kind of place had died off in the 80's--I'm glad to say I was wrong! read more

Bacon is usually hard all over(over cooked) or limp ( under cooked). Also had a waffle and eggs over medium. Both were equally delicious but it is harder to get those wrong.

Last night, my brother mentioned he had been craving fried chicken, so I said, "Ok, let's go get fried chicken. Where do you want to go?" We decided on Williams Chicken, but our cousin highly recommended The Beef House. We had never been there before even though our stepmother has lived in Garland almost all her life, she and our dad never took us there for breakfast. We had to find it and thankfully I turned in the correct shopping center the first try. It was totally worth it! We sat down and ordered our iced tea and looked at the menu. Lo and behold, Wednesdays are All You Can Eat fried chicken served with two sides. This was the best fried chicken I have eaten since I went to Mrs. Winner's Fried Chicken in Atlanta several years ago. The pieces are HOT to the touch and I had to let them cool, so I worked on my sides: mashed potatoes with cream gravy and green beans. Delicious! KFC does NOT do chicken right. The Beef House does! I started with a breast and wing while my brother had a leg and thigh. Then they brought out a leg and thigh for us to fight over. LOL Not really fight... I got the thigh and he got the leg. It's a great price for all you can eat, even though we could only eat three pieces each. We were stuffed, but not enough to order pie. I had chocolate cream. Yum! And now that the City of Garland passed a no smoking ordinance, it is even more worth it to try this awesome eating experience. read more

Eggs done right, toast that actually tastes like toast (imagine that!), and portions big enough to fuel ya through a full day of shovelin' snow... or, you know, strolling around Dallas. All in all, Maple Leaf Diner absolutely crushed it. Let me tell ya, the service was so fast and smooth, I thought I was dreaming eh. Great food, friendly vibes, and enough Canadian charm to make ya wanna say "sorry" when someone else bumps into you. 10/10, would recommend--now pass the syrup, eh?

Let's start this review by talking about the ambiance of the Garland Cafe. Decor-wise this place…read moreis no-thrills. The walls are sparsely adorned with a few drawings, a handful of license plates, and an American flag hanging from shower curtain loops. There were snowflakes on the wall that I was not sure if they were leftover from a Christmas past, or wishful thinking on a hot July day. Oddly, they did not seem out of place... But as we all know, the soul of a place is not in its decor, but rather in its people. The people here make this place. This place defines the phrase "down-home". The patrons are all intertwined into each others conversations down to everyone in the place saying "amen" after someone quietly says grace over their meal. Then, after grace and "amen's the conversations all resume. Here, there is no typical customer, the place is filled with all backgrounds...a table of people on their way to church, another table with officers ( who were applauded when the walked in), a table of folks who had partied all night, and me, just a Yelper trying a new place, to get another review and a few more photos under my belt. Nothing binding us all together except the pleasure of each others company in a place that fosters the ability to do so. That to me is an ambiance I will take over gilded gold furnishings any time! I ordered the make your own breakfast special. What a concept, let the customer decide what they want, not what you choose to pair up together for them. It certainly worked for me this morning! My choice was Eggs over medium, Bacon, Hash browns, and Pancakes. Everything was pretty darn good. The service was fine. Not over the top, but friendly and efficient. No complaints here!

This is the combo breakfast you get two eggs hashbrowns ham slice two sausage patties, three pieces of bacon and French toast.

The good: servers were super nice and we were able to get enough tables added to one of the long strips to fit about 20 folks altogether. We never wanted for anything, and their biscuits were delicious with honey. I also enjoyed the chicken fried steak quite a bit, especially with gravy drizzled over, and the portions for entrees were huge. The mediocre: obviously the business model is generous with sides but it's clear most of them are canned/not made from scratch. Creamed corn was pretty runny but still one of the tastier options. Green beans were quite mushy, and the beans were super watery as well. Conversely the mashed potatoes were SUPER thick and therefore hard to eat a lot of, even when mixed with the gravy. Others mentioned that the fried chicken was pretty salty. My husband was able to finish off the chicken fried steak I had leftover when I brought it home, which was nice. $25-ish after tax and tip to feed two adults is pretty good in this economy.

Well, talk about a hidden gem. I had this place bookmarked but could not tell you where I heard…read moreabout it. It is basically a little luncheon oasis dropped right in the middle of a gigantic industrial park. On the drive over I was seriously questioning my Yelp choices. It is that kind of location. But trust Yelp and sometimes you are handily rewarded, which we absolutely were. We came after a few hours strolling around at the Botanical Gardens, so we rolled in around 1:30 and there were still plenty of people there. I can only imagine at noon this place is packed, and honestly it should be. My biggest complaint is the menus. There is one above the counter that does not include everything, and then a different, more complete version if you scan the QR code at the table (But 2 different navigations even on the website with slightly different menus). Do yourself a favor and look it up ahead of time so you are not standing there making panic decisions. There is a half sandwich and half soup combo (Not on the board but online menu), which is definitely the move. I got the pozole, which you should absolutely order, and a half grilled cheese on their housemate sourdough. Normally not my go to, but I was trying not to be completely stuffed since we had dinner plans. And they bake their own sourdough, so I had a strong feeling it would be great, and it delivered. Toasty and melty, American and cheddar. My husband got the southwestern wrap, and my friend went with the half club and half tomato soup. She immediately regretted not getting the pozole and the half birria sandwich, which tells you everything you need to know. Also need to mention the snickerdoodle. Not much to look at, kind of humble, but it completely makes up for it with flavor and that perfect soft texture. Go ahead and get the cookie. You are not here to make responsible decisions. Bottom line, it may feel like you are driving into the middle of nowhere, but keep going. This place is worth it.

This is exactly the kind of hole in the wall lunch spot you'll miss if you're not paying attention…read more I literally drove past it twice before realizing it was right there. It's also one of those "if you know, you know" places, and clearly people know, because the to-go orders were nonstop. The second you walk in, you're hit with cases of fresh baked bread, and pastries. The almond pistachio croissant was the biggest one I've ever seen and had me drooling before I even placed my order. It is counter service, and I went with a Mediterranean sandwich with chicken while my lunch date got a classic BLT. Both were incredible, super fresh ingredients, excellent flavor, and next level fresh bread/ flatbread. Try the sourdough ! You can tell this place is legit because you see everyone in there from construction workers, people, in scrubs, law-enforcement, executives, all grabbing lunch. When that many hard-working people trust a spot, you know it's got to be good. If you're in Garland, add this place to your must try list. It is an excellent lunch spot.
