Asparagus is our favorite side, but we are working our way through the sides and deserts. Service is very prompt and professional. Excellent service on all visits. If you are staying overnight in the area, book a room at the Fredonia Hotel. Restaurant and Hotel are together. The quietest hotel room I have stayed in over my 40+ years of travel. So happy that we've been able to pass through and enjoy dinner at the hotel. Small college town, with some super nice people. Put it on your to-do list if you are passing through.

Our visit to the Republic Steakhouse was the deifintion of a "mid" experience.....at a premium…read moreprice. We were seated in the bar section in some very low and comfortable seats that became significantly less comfortable when trying to lean forward and eat. That did wonders from my usually sore back, let me tell you. I had their stuufed flounder and even though it looked more like two crab cakes than a fish, it was actually pretty good. I was happy with it. My wife, on the other hand, ordered a sirloin cooked medium (pink center). What she got was a well-done steak. If this were Denny's and this happened to a $18.99 steak it wouldn't be a big deal but this was at a prime steakhouse and the stead was about $60. My wife went ahead and ate it because she said it still tased good even though it was not what she asked for but the last quarted of the steak because so very grey and dray that she could go no further. She pointed the issue to the server (who didn't even apologize or even seem bothered) and asked that he show the remainder of the $60 boot sole to the manager. Now, we were not looking to recieve any sort of compensation or anything like that. My wife simply wanted the issue acknowledged by the manager since the steak was so expensive and was not cooked correctly. The manager never bothered to show up. This is a clear indication that the management of the Republic Steakhouse doesn't really care about either the quality of the food or the satisfaction of the guests. This is a shame because there is alot to like otherwise. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we will be visiting them again. One final tip for the bar staff: If you are going to charge $18 for an Old Fashioned, you either have to make it good or fill the glass. Pick one.

We arrived with the Sunday lunch crowd, so there was a line out the door. They know what they're doing here though as the staff moved the line along quickly and effeciently, even taking you to your table so you don't have to walk around looking for one. Super friendly staff that checked on us often and kept our used plates cleared as soon as we slid it to the side. The food... there's fried catfish, chicken, okra - actually I'm not going to even try to list everything that was available! There's a Mexican section too. I picked up a whole jalapeno from that section that set my mouth on fire. Besides the jalapeno, I personally had the fried catfish, okra, green beans, fried shrimp, and black eyed peas (which I smashed so they wouldn't roll off my plate). That was the first course. Returned once more for more gut busting deliciousness. Hubby enjoyed the fried chicken. It was crispy, hot, and juicy inside. I wish we had this place where we live. We'd be here all the time! Highly recommend this place!

It's buffet style service. I am not a huge fan of buffets, but the food quality and cleanliness was very good. My food was hot and fresh. We arrived around 5 pm. We ate veggies, fried and baked fish, taco salad, black eyed peas and rice. My wife had the sugar free desserts and thought they were ok. I had the apple cobbler. It was hot, fresh, and delicious. The ice cream was just ok. It was a soft serve that was bland. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. Overall impressions were positive

As per looking at the fantastic reviews, we decided to eat at mayeauxs. Walking inside was like time traveling back into the 70s antique cowboy era. We were promptly sat at a quaint little table and greeted by our waitress. For dinner we both chose the 8oz fillet. I had asparagus as a side and she had Mac & cheese. The steaks were cooked to perfection. The sides were to the upmost excellence. We got out of there paying way less than I thought we would for such an amazing experience. Only $270!! What a steal! We will definitely be back to this wonderful restaurant, let's hope next time it will be to celebrate a win. (We lost the tournament)

Our waitress came by quickly and asked about drinks and if we wanted rolls. Someone had already said you have to ask for honey cinnamon butter bc they won't bring it out. They brought 3 rolls and these were the best rolls I've ever had. Like so good. She asked if we wanted more but we declined even though we could have eaten a few more! We got a fried chicken salad and the western burger with fries. No steak ik we opted for something else to try first. The food came out at a good temp. Everything was pretty decent but just nothing fancy. Pretty ordinary and just ok. I did really enjoy the freshly made strawberry and lime mixed margarita. It was really great.

Onion rings are one of the hub's favorites so off we went. The restaurant is located inside an old railroad warehouse and it has a very rustic atmosphere. You can feel the history ooze from the building's pores as you slide into your seat and get ready to take in the nice sized menu selections. I had a few items picked out from different sections and Zyra our waitress helped me make the best choice. We started out with the onion rings with ranch dressing and we DEVOURED THEM! We both chose the blackened catfish and were both very pleased. The fillets were perfectly cooked with nice seasoning and topped with pico de gallo. The pico added some much welcome acidity and zestiness to the dish. I ordered the pinto beans and crispy new potatoes and they were all superb. We enjoy stopping in Nacogdoches and soaking up the history and great food that the oldest town in Texas has to offer! We will definitely return to Clear Springs. There are way too many items on that menu that I need to enjoy!

Clear Springs - Truly awful service and a completely avoidable mess…read more My family went to Clear Springs and the experience was honestly terrible. My sister's food didn't come out at all , not late, not forgotten in the kitchen, just never showed up because our waitress never bothered to check on us even once after taking the order. A couple of the dishes that did arrive were wrong, and we were stuck sitting there with empty drinks for ages because she disappeared and didn't come back to the table. We literally had to wave her down from across the room just to get her attention. Only then did she realize my sister's food was missing, and instead of apologizing or taking responsibility, she immediately blamed someone in the back. As if she hadn't ignored us the entire time and wouldn't have known anything was wrong because she never checked on us. Between the missing meal, the wrong dishes, the empty drinks, and the excuses, the whole experience was a mess. We won't be returning.
