We were driving back to Houston from our trip to Little Rock for a wedding. The wedding was…read moreawesome. So we pulled into a huge parking lot. Pro tip there is a huge amount of road construction around the restaurant so plan accordingly. We were greeted and sat promptly. Karen our server came and greeted us and got our drink order. I went to the restroom, it was clean but in need of a cosmetic upgrade. The restaurant itself was clean and had a Louisiana feel. My wife ordered the Salmon med rare, and she said it was excellent. I ordered the shrimp quesadillas and I was impressed by the buttered flavor of the flour tortilla that was crispy on the edges. I also was pleased with the amount of shrimp and cheese. The guacamole and the pico were fresh and tasty. For appetizers tried the Pistolette and were not overly impressed. The Boudin Balls and sauce were very good. I think they could have been a little spicier, but they were great. The bread pudding was just average in my opinion, but my wife loved it. My wife and I agreed that this will be one our go to stops when driving through Lufkin.

Having humble & genteel personality while being a menu wizard, she made me feel right at home with her hospitality. My Oysters Royale cooked by Michael were fantastically perfect & delicious. I should've gotten the dozen instead of the 1/2. Being it's my first time, I had to make sure they were on point first & they were! I loved the charro bean side that came with rice & sausage bits topped with pico. The hush puppies are decent with some garlic butter you might want to dive into like it's the Summer Olympic swimming relays. The music and atmosphere was nice & festive. The booths are comfortable & being solo, the 2 person sized ones were perfect for me. Lufkin has a mainstay that most towns would be jealous to have. Come eat here & leave satisfied. Bring all your friends! You can't go wrong here with Tia Jaunita's. You just might want to camp out here.

We will definitely keep coming back as long as it stays this way This trip we had the brie bites with jam a little strange, but it worked. And then we had grilled salmon with Mac and cheese and broccoli with onions, the salmon was well cooked. And the garlic sauce was great. Noodles for the Mac and cheese, very Al. Dente, so not the best my wife had the surf and turf meal. And her medium rare stake was cooked medium well, but she still enjoyed it and ate it all, and the lobster was cooked perfectly. When we walked in, it was pretty busy. So there were a few glasses and dirty plates kind of left all over the place. But they were all quickly cleaned up. By the time we sat down, the mill house is definitely one of the jewels of lufkin, and we love it.

Mom's Diner is one of those classic spots that reminds you why comfort food is called comfort food…read more From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with friendly service, a warm atmosphere, and that nostalgic diner charm that makes you feel right at home. The food here is exactly what you want it to be--hot, fresh, flavorful, and served in portions that definitely won't leave you hungry. The standout for me? The liquid butter. If you know, you know. You can pour that golden magic over the toast, the pancakes, the biscuits--basically anything that'll hold it--and it takes everything to the next level. It's the kind of simple, old-school touch that makes a meal unforgettable. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, grabbing a plate lunch, or just craving some true diner comfort, Mom's never misses. Great people, great food, and great prices. Absolutely a Lufkin gem--and we'll keep coming back!

We will definitely be back!

I also got a strawberry tea, which I should have gotten the tea unsweetened then had them add the strawberry because it was super sweet. The tables were dirty which is why I deducted a star. I had to take napkins and spread them out because it was dried mustard or something spilled all over the table that needed to be scrubbed with a washcloth. Also the floors had food. The pricing was a bit dramatic for what we got. It was $30 for two people ordering sandwiches. They were good but the portion wasn't that big honestly. All in all, not bad!

The staff were fantastic. Friendly, welcoming, and super informative. Once they found out I was from out of town, they even gave me a tour of the place, which was awesome. They have a huge venue in the back that's very, very impressive Perfect for events or gatherings. In the front, they've got billiards and a shuffleboard table, making it a great spot to hang out beyond just dining. I had a couple of beers and ordered the quesadillas and a burger to go both were excellent. The bartenders were awesome, and the owner was on-site, clearly invested in both his team and ensuring every guest feels welcomed and taken care of. I'd only planned to grab my food to go but ended up staying well over an hour chatting with everyone This place is a hidden gem with a great vibe, great food, and even better people. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

Thisnis for thier First St in Downtown Lufkin Location…read more We always give a place two visits just in case the first visit was a fluke. Our first visit we ordered wings and pizza. The wings were pretty good but the pizza was cold. This visit everything was unbelievably slow. It didn't seem that busy. The music was so loud that we couldn't hear the waitress, nor could she hear us without leaning over the table. We ordered the BBQ Pizza and the Brisket Nachos. When we got them they were cold. We told the waitress about it and asked for to-go containers so we could leave and heat the food ourselves. We just didn't want to be there anymore. We got a brief sorry about that and our check. I can get over a long wait for food, but not if you give me cold food. That being said, the pizza did taste pretty decent. However, it seemed a bit meager for a meal portion. I would have considered it an appetizer. I want to like the place and I want to encourage locally owned eateries. But you have to bring your A game.

Rusty Axe is much larger than I expected and more of a restaurant feel to it than brewery feel. The restaurant itself is very nice. I sat at the bar and got me a flight and a pizza. I was really looking forward to trying their Dr Pepper BBQ brisket pizza but unfortunately, they were out. I ordered a Margherita instead and it was pretty good. The pizza oven (i believe wood fired) was in full view from the bar. They have about 12 beers on tap and a few seltzers. I got a coconut stout, 2 IPA's and a Kolsch. All of them were good but the Hoosier Hazy was probably my favorite. Cool place, good beer and I would definitely stop in again if I were in the area. I just hope next time they have the brisket pizza!
