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.

I had the BLT with the optional egg and it was okay, nothing to write home about. Coffee was good.

We will certainly be back as we are always hopefully that today was an anomaly.

Right in the center of downtown is a corner cafe that is full of friendly smiles as well as loyal…read morepeople who obviously frequent the place and even have their regular tables. Makes you feel like you're in a Texas country town for sure! My daughter and I were in Nacogdoches for college visit to SFA and we looked this place up in the hopes that we would find something different than a normal chain stop. It certainly is different and was exactly what you might imagine. Everything on the menu is decently priced and it seems that Tuesday is the place to be with short stack specials for $2 along with the weekday breakfast special at $6.95 On of my daughter's favorite meals is chicken fried steak and what better place to try that than a local diner??? Unfortunately it fell below expectations. The portions were quite large, enough that we could have just split a plate. The idea of sausage gravy on top of the mashed potatos and steak sounds heavy but also potentially fantastic. However both the gravy and the fry were quite under seasoned. I was able to fix mine with some cholula sauce and some salt and pepper was a quick fix as well for my daughter. The side of green beans and carrots she got were actually pretty good so perhaps there was just a disconnect in flavor at the meat station this day. I did very much enjoy the side salad I chose instead of the veggie medley. Came with home-made ranch which brought me back to my East Texas family gatherings with the freshly shaken ranch.....it was great. The portion size was pretty fair value at $13. Like I said we could have just split it between us. Very hit or miss flavors leaves this at a 3-stars for me. But no doubt some of the nicest folks in town work here.

We really enjoy their pimento cheese, housemade crackers and whipped candied jalepeno dip, the chicharonnes and queso and the great big salads. But oh, the Rebellion Nachos.....I see you sexy nachos over there with all of the hotness.....You simply must sub the Akaushi Tenderloin on the nachos. Thank me later. We normally have cocktails and snacks at the bar and then we order our entrees to take up to the room to enjoy. The service is always top notch here.

I am a guest at the hotel, and unfortunately, the service I experienced in the café and poolside…read morearea on August 21 was extremely disappointing. After helping our daughter move for school, we returned to the hotel exhausted. We had already had an early dinner, so we decided to have a drink and order a light appetizer and dessert poolside. The bar was crowded, and although three different servers came through the pool area, not one stopped at our table to ask whether we needed menus or anything else. We eventually had to flag someone down ourselves. Unfortunately, that interaction seemed to set the tone for the remainder of the evening. The staff we encountered were consistently unwelcoming and inattentive. It gave the impression that they were simply there to complete their shift rather than provide the level of hospitality guests should reasonably expect. The atmosphere was also frustrating. A toddler was repeatedly screaming at the top of her lungs while a musician was performing, and the child's father made no apparent effort to address the situation. While that is not necessarily the hotel's responsibility, the combination of the disruptive environment and poor service made for a particularly unpleasant experience. The situation became even more frustrating when we accidentally left my arm brace on the table as we hurried to finish our nightcap and leave. Within approximately five minutes of realizing it was missing, my husband returned to retrieve it. Since it had been left on the table moments earlier, we expected that the server or another staff member would be able to locate it easily. Instead, he was sent from the bar to the kitchen and then to the front desk. After approximately 15 minutes, he returned without the item. That experience reinforced the impression I had already formed earlier in the day: there appears to be very little communication or coordination among the staff. No one seemed to take ownership of a simple guest-service issue or make an effort to resolve it efficiently. When guests are paying nearly $600 for two nights in a small town such as Nacogdoches, particularly at a property marketed as one of the best accommodations in the area, there is an expectation of professional, attentive hospitality. Guests should feel welcomed, recognized, and valued. Unfortunately, I did not experience that during my stay. The attitude of the waitress who ultimately served us was particularly disappointing and significantly affected the overall experience. Her demeanor was not appropriate for someone working in a customer-service position, much less one at a property presenting itself as a higher-end accommodation. I strongly recommend that management take a closer look at staff training, communication, accountability, and expectations surrounding guest service. Tipping is part of the hospitality industry, and guests should not have to repeatedly seek out employees for basic service. Based on this experience, I will not be staying here again. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and uses it as an opportunity to improve the guest experience for future visitors.

One of the hottest spots in town. We were there for parents weekend at SFA and had been told by…read moremany different sources that this was a must visit. They were right. Long story short, go over there and have a good time. Food was great and pretty reasonably priced. It gets busy though and one of the downsides of that is trying to find a table as they have somewhat limited number of tables compared to the vast number of people going there. Chicken fingers, Reuben sandwich, hamburger and a pork sandwich made the cut on our table. Portions are large and the prices were reasonable at $15 range for a drink and fries, sandwich combo. I think you can get a little overwhelmed if this is your first time with it being such a large menu and so many people buzzing around, but the folks were friendly and based on all the feedback around us pretty much everything on the menu ranks solidly. My Reubens was a pleasant surprise and worth a try! Despite all the people, place is clean as people tended to clear their own tables to help others out. Welcome to the country, city folks!!!

There were a couple of people cleaning and picking up plates, making sure everyone had room and checking on things. It's such a cute place too!
