The hours have expanded I'm pleased to report and the food is just as good as it ever was. Some employees are not here anymore and they probably retired but the ladies working here work very hard to make sure the customers are always full. The circus posters on the walls, the period dresses the servers wear, and the table cloths and curtains add a note of nostalgia and send you back to a simpler time. Keep up the great work and I will keep coming. I drive 80 miles to get here and have been for 20 years. So I definitely recommend this place to anyone.

I have eaten here several times before writing this review…read more The price is steep but it's an all you can eat right!?! Well the first round they bring out is a whole chicken (tasted just like Brookeshire's chicken) then they asked exactly how many pieces you want after that. Mind you we had a full table of people so we needed another plate but it felt as if we had a limit. The greens are from a can. The chicken and dumplings are made from leftover chicken the day or so before. Also you have to get your own drinks and clear your own table. It's a neat experience for travelers but as a local it's a one time deal.

Step aside Houston and Dallas- the Bulldog Burger has taken the number 1 spot of my all time favs. So big my husband and I shared it for lunch. The crust on this burger from the flat top grill is crunchy and flavorful. Grilled onions and jalapeños were savory and sweet. The 2 massive onion rings on top were golden brown and perfectly cooked. Nothing is cooked ahead of time so don't get in a hurry for your food. Sit back and visit with the people at the table next to yours. The wait is totally worth it. If you are anywhere near this spot do yourself a favor and stop and eat.

Farmhouse was recommended by ChatGPT for our drive between Fort Worth and Houston, and it was a…read morewonderful stop. The meal started with cornbread and yeast rolls, both delicious. We shared the meal that includes an appetizer and dessert, which was more than enough food for us. For the appetizer, we chose the fried green tomatoes. They were perfect. Our entrée was chicken-fried chicken with mashed potatoes and fried okra, and every bite was divine. My husband also ordered a side of collard greens, and they were excellent. Then came dessert. Buttermilk chess pie is my husband's favorite, but he rarely orders it because he's afraid it won't measure up. After one bite, he declared it "righteous," which means it passed his very high standards. I thought it was fantastic too. The service was great, and the restaurant has a quaint, family-owned feel. Definitely worth the stop.

I was visiting some friends in the area and stopped in since it was the closest restaurant…read more From the outside, I wasn't sure what to expect but once inside, I was impressed The atmosphere was lively with lots of patrons at the bar, and everyone seemed genuinely engaged and enjoying themselves. 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.

Cheddar's -- A Family Favorite Worth Returning For!…read more This was such a great spot to spend time with family! We came in as a party of nine, and the service was absolutely fantastic. I'm not sure if it was because we went on a Friday for lunch or if their service is always this quick, but everything moved smoothly and efficiently. One waiter, in particular (I wish I had caught his name), was excellent -- attentive, gracious, and clearly proud of his work. Let's Talk About the Food! We started with the croissants and honey butter, and let me tell you -- they were amazing! I would come back to Texas just to have those again. Even after we'd let them sit for a bit, our waiter surprised us by bringing another heated plate, fresh and drizzled with that golden honey butter. It was such a thoughtful touch! For my main dish, I had the steak with broccoli casserole. The casserole brought back memories of my grandmother's recipe -- warm, cheesy, and full of flavor. It felt like a little bite of home. The steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly, and my tablemates couldn't stop talking about the ribs and green beans, which are must-tries if you go. Atmosphere & Overall Experience Since we came during a slower time, the restaurant was mostly empty, so I can't comment too much on the full dining atmosphere. But based on what my family (who are regulars) shared, it's always a friendly, family-oriented environment -- the kind of place where you can relax, laugh, and enjoy good food together. If you're ever near a Cheddar's, definitely check it out for yourself. Leave a review and let me know what your favorite part of the meal was -- but don't skip those croissants! They're worth the trip alone.

We walked inside and the staff told us we could sit wherever we wanted. Our waitress came over and was very nice and chatted with us for a bit. We told her we're passing through and our reason for being in Groveton. She gave two referrals for attorneys and that's just what we needed. I wish I could remember our waitress's name. As far as the food, everything was delicious. They give complimentary fried pork rinds that are made in house. We had two boats of them and got a bag to take home. My sister and I both ordered the fried catfish and fries. Great flavor and not greasy. I would recommend Davy Crockett Grill to anyone.
