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.

So now we have a new favorite that includes fried shrimp, stuffed shrimp, fried crawfish tails, fried catfish, seafood gumbo, a hush puppy, and one side of choice. We also love their hot homemade yeast bread. Our server, Randy, was great. She was very attentive and took care of our every need. We will ask for her next time.

Makes you less worried about making a mess as a customer. We ordered two combos to share between a family of 4 and it was AMAZING and plenty to fill us up.

If we are near here again we will be back for sure

We took recommendations from Kilee and everything was great! Got the Brisket Queso for an appetizer. Then the value meal Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. Best Chicken Fried Steak I have had in a long time, not slight with the gravy (good gravy)! Potatoes were so yummy! Had the Blackberry Tea-super flavorful! Big portions! Had more than enough for supper later. It is a nice place to eat, give it a try.

Kitchen / bar had trouble with a few special requests, like "a shot of coconut milk". Took a while But it got done. Waitress Tess was aces! Drinks full and helpful. Lots of leftovers for the price which was, with 2 mixed drinks and two beers, with a generous tip, $170 bucks. The beef wasn't quite worth it but these days what is. Great taste, but didn't get rare right, it came blue. I'd go back if Im in the area bit I'd try some of their fried dishes which looked spectacular and well portioned for the prices I saw.

South First Bar & Grill is a local favorite in downtown Lufkin. This fits the local small-town…read moreneighborhood bar to a T with the tables surrounded by all the tvs and a bar area with a stage next to it to boot. The bartenders and servers know all the locals which is evident every time me and my coworkers stop in here for happy hours or for dinner. They still give us the attention we need for drink refills and food orders. For drinks, it's mainly beer although they have hard liquor available here. I always stick with Miller Lite since it's cheap and they bring it out quick. As for food, it's mainly burgers and bar eats. The appetizers such as the wings, chips n queso, fried jalapenos, and pretzel bites w/ beer cheese are our favorites. Meanwhile, they do good burgers here which are a favorite amongst the team. Each day will have food specials such as half priced appetizers and $1 wings. Check the menu out for the full details. It's a great place to watch sports and grab drinks/eats or catch live music if it's available. This is part of our rotation whenever we're in Lufkin.
