We should have walked out when saw glass door that was so dirty with finger prints and everything else u hardly could see inside. Saw a few takeout orders come in and out so we reluctantly then Ordered food at counter to then be told after sitting down they were out of what I ordered so I had to order something different. Sat down at table which was so sticky my forearms stuck to it, napkin holder on table was so dusty my finger left mark when drug it across it. Place looked like it had never been cleaned or updated in years. Lights above had bugs galore in lightcover, floors/baseboards dirty, fans above on their last leg/blades. Windows also needed cleaning. By then I still wanted to walk out but I needed to see what the food was like. Trying to give benefit of doubt. Service very slow, looked short staffed. Hoping they washed hands at some point no gloves used with server taking orders, collecting money and touching food/cooking in plain view. When food arrived it looked ok until I tasted the coleslaw it was very bad, looked discolored and tasted old needless to say didn't eat it after one bite, my husband spit his out, then came the fried fish, I wasn't impressed no flavor parts of fish was just batter no meat, also the batter didn't stay on onion rings so as soon as u picked them up batter would fall off onion, Hush puppies tasted old not fresh, definitely frozen great value brand or worse. Didn't finish our meal and that's not like my husband he always finishes. Everything tasted same probably fried all in same grease. Still can't believe we stayed and (ate what we could)of the food. I hope they improve if read this, we like to support local businesses that's why we decided to try COUNTRY BOYS but unfortunately we won't be back. I should've read reviews before I went , last review was awhile back not sure what happened ugh

My wife and I were on our way to New Orleans from Fort Worth and looking for a place to stop for a…read morebreak and a bite to eat. Natchitoches, LA was the next town coming up and I started checking Yelp reviews in the area. El Patio, which had solid reviews, looked like an easy off and on from the Interstate plus there was a gas station in close proximity. It was perfect place for us to stop, stretch our legs and get a bite to eat. When we walked in the decor of the restaurant was a feast for the eyes. The chairs and tables were painted with bright colors and designs. It looks like Fiesta Time all the time. Victor, our server greeted us and took our drink orders. No margaritas, but a big glass of unsweetened iced tea was in order. A hot basket of chips and a small carafe of salsa was dropped off at our table. The salsa was good, but too mild for our tastes. The tortilla chips were very good. I decided on the #1 Lunch Special which included a Chille Relleno and a crispy beef taco. Both platters were accompanied with refried beans and rice. Wow, what a quick turnaround from the kitchen! Victor was back in a flash with our lunch entrees. Both of our lunch entrees were very enjoyable and spiced nicely. We both had happy tummies by the time we left El Patio and headed towards New Orleans. Next time we're in the area, we'll make a point of stopping in and try something new on the menu.

I'd sooner waddle all the way to Nichols than pee in that god-foresaken place. I think I've seen patterns drawn in the toilet with poop that summon some sort of evil spirits before. The sandwiches are alright, I just wish they had a better selection of bread. Their vegetable selection can be a hit or miss, sometimes they have everything, sometimes they have maybe 3 containers that are half full of the vegetables that nobody gets. The cookies are... Fine... They just need to start baking more of them... They don't accept coupons either, which should be a requirement for all establishments. Overall, meh. It's a Subway, I suppose. Eat fresh?

For starters, the staff was quite friendly and respectful. It's sad that these days that those qualities have but totally disappeared in the service industry. I was waited on by a gentleman named Aaron who was awesome. Getting to the food, my burger resembled what you would see in an advertisement or staged photo. It was hot, fresh, and brought out to me promptly. And more importantly, it was quite delicious! The restaurant was very clean. Visiting the restroom, I found it to be equally impressive in cleanliness. Kudos to the management for their high standards and to the staff who maintain them through their hard work. I would gladly visit again next time my travels take me back.
