As my husband and I were driving around in Huntsville we spotted a cute building with a bbq grill…read moreoutside and the smoke smelled enticing. The people were very friendly and explained the menu and sides available. We ordered two sliced beef sandwiches with onions, pickles and sauce on the side. The amount of meat on the sandwich was adequate. Sadly the flavor of the beef was lacking a smoked flavor. It reminded me of beef brisket made in an oven or crockpot. Perhaps we were there on an off day.

My only complaint is that even though the price per item goes up and up the quantity goes down and down. Alas I have decided to move on. I can receive a much larger quantity for the same or lesser price. Often I have contested the amount of brisket on a sandwich because half of it was pure fat !!! The bun has been reduced more and more and now it is so small I think I am receiving finger food. This is really reflected by the small amount of people eating here.

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.

Something house-made and with a custom flavor was expected. The "crispy chicken" is another store bought product that's chopped up and put on top. The mango-habanero sauce had a little kick, but was way too sweet for my preference. Overall, not a culinary hotbed, but a unique dining experience none-the-less.

I LOVE College Town places to eat. While in Huntsville, TX,…read morehome of the Sam Houston State University Bearkats, my daughter suggested the Potato Shack for lunch. On first glance, this looks to be a converted Dairy Queen that has been subjected to a Frankenstein process of additions over the years. Walking in you are subjected to the ordering line that is merged with a full bar. This place, inside, is what I think a college hangout is supposed to look like. Lucky 19 Brewing signs run amok on the walls ... I later found out that it is also a hometown brewery that makes a really good IPA, but that is another tale. Sturdy tables and metal chairs await us after we order. My Wife and Daughter got the "Classic Potato" that has bacon, chives, cheese, butter and sour cream, with my daughter subbing the potato for tater tots. Either way it is served, there is plenty of starchiness to go around. My lunch was the Thursday Special - the Hotwing Potato. This is a average sized baker that is easy to break apart with a fork to stir in the chunks of fried chicken, melted cheddar and lots of hot wing sauce. I added ranch and sour cream to the mix for more of a flavor blend. Usually I try and take a before shot to show what it looks like before demolishing it with utensils as it drops into my piehole. However, I did manage a shot right after mixing. The chicken chunks were crispy and cooked through and through. Their buffalo sauce had enough kick to let my tongue know what it was without scorching my taste buds. I paired it with the Lucky 19 Texas IPA and it was a good flavor profile for my particular potato selection. Now, for the big reveal ... I would eat at this place regularly if I lived in Huntsville. Next time I am there, it will have a heavy weight consideration as a lunch place. I can only imagine how crowed it is when school is in session. Ciao, Darrell

The hostess recommended upstairs for a lively dinner with friends and told us to try the bacon mac and Gouda!! Btw, it did not disappoint! Creamy texture with cheese and delicious bacon pieces on top! We started with apps--goat cheese balls were very rich, but the balsamic glaze was a nice balance. The fried green tomatoes were just alright--they were a little thick for me, but the flavor was good. The bacon chips and dip was a surprising delight!! You should definitely try it!! Our friends who don't care for bacon even loved it! The cosmo was delicious!! My husband enjoyed his old fashioned, and the Sam Houston Sour is authentically made (IYKYK)! The steaks were amazing and cooked to perfection! I enjoyed my filet cooked perfectly and tender to cut! The mashed potatoes looked delicious and the asparagus was nice and tender!
