The food was underwhelming. I ordered the. Chicken fried steak, onion rings and Mac n Cheese. The…read more"fried" was super thick and soggy. It was so bad, it was thicken than a flour tortilla and as soft as one. Then there is the "steak " which was bland and cardboard like. I have the feeling that this particular menu items is not freshly made; it has to be a frozen one and just warmed up. The fried mushrooms were good, but a little seasoning in the flour would help boost the flavor. Man n cheese was ok, onion rings were blah. The water was very refreshing.

The caprese was excellent, the charcuterie board had a great selection of meats, cheeses, bread, and accompaniments, and the blistered peppers were a perfect addition. The martinis were also very well made. What made the evening even better was the service. Kaylyn was our server and did an outstanding job--friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. We also had the opportunity to meet Liana, the manager, who was incredibly welcoming and clearly takes pride in making sure guests have a great experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, making it the perfect place to order several things for the table, take your time, and enjoy the evening. We finished with the gelato cups, which were a fun way to end the night. Great food, great drinks, and exceptional service. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend Aperitivo's, and be sure to ask for Kaylyn!

The restaurant was very cute, clean, well organised and decorated. They offer many seating arrangements inside and on the large outdoor patio too. Food and drinks: The restaurant offers very good selection of food and alcoholic beverages. We only tried gelato ice cream and some cocktails. The ice cream was very testy and refreshing. The cocktails were professionally prepared and tasted great too. Pricing: $$ - worth the service, atmosphere and quality of drinks served.

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.
