    Chicken fried steak  Purple hull peas Corn fritters  Hot roll
    David R.

    I've passed Miss Mollie's Diner a million times, but today I stopped and had lunch. Alto, Texas doesn't have very many options, but you really only need to know Miss Mollie's Diner. First impressions: The place was clean Friendly folks Simple buffet You can certainly order off the menu, but looking at the buffet, I decided to go that route. I ordered the chicken fried steak, purple hull peas, hot roll, corn fritters and a fresh green side salad. The buffet also came with a dessert! It was all delicious! I like small town restaurants, they seem to go the extra mile. I can tell you if I'm ever over that direction again and it's lunch time, I'll stop and grab a bite to eat. When in Alto, Texas stop at Miss Mollie's Diner. Go get Full

    Good service. Food was good. My husband enjoyed his burger and fries. Cute little restaurant! Very small restrooms without a changing table.

    Very cool old school diner! I had the Bodies Baddazz Burger. It was awesome. Meat was not dry, onions and jalapeños were cooked perfectly. The fries were seasoned and very crispy. Generous portion of everything, Well worth the price! Highly recommend you stopping at this hole-in-the-wall treasure!

    Sam's Original Restaurant - And my favorite...  fried Chicken

    On the way back to DFW from College Station we stopped at Sam's on Sunday, 3/8. I was so glad we…read moredid!! This place has an absolutely amazing lunch buffet! The salad stuff was fresh and the dressings were all good. On the hot side of the buffet they had chicken friend steak, ham, turkey and dressings, bbq brisket and friend chicken. Everything was excellent! The sides were all great. I imagine their homemade pies are amazing but I was too full to try any of them! I will 100% be back anytime I am nearby!!!

    My dad has been coming here for years, I believe this was my first time…read more My dad went for the buffet, and I ordered a la carte. First, the service was excellent, I believe our server was named Presley. Very kind, always checking on us and keeping our water and tea full. On the buffet, my dad enjoyed the salad he had, but was surprised at the little variety offered that day. He said last time he was there with my brother there was more to choose from. He then got the fried chicken, which was greasy and barely any chicken on the thigh. I tried to find a drumstick but it was just breasts, thighs and a few wings. He did like the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. As for the fried okra, you have to eat it fresh. It is sitting under a heat lamp just makes it soggy and slimy. I ordered 4 vegetables a la carte which came out to be as much as the all you can eat buffet. First, their onion rings are OUTSTANDING! So is their homemade ranch. What was disappointing was the green beans, they definitely came out of a can and were heated. At $3.99 I expected fresh. There may have been a small piece of onion in it. Not sure if that was how it was cooked or if it fell in from another dish. The black-eyed peas were tasty. I also had a cup of the chicken corn chowder which was good. However, there was pieces of cubed chicken in it which also made me think that it was a prepackaged soup and not homemade. My dad got the coconut cream pie, which tasted good, but could have used more coconut then just on the top. He wanted bread pudding or peach cobbler, however at the time of day we were there, they had been picked over way too much, not leaving much for anyone else to enjoy. I did like the selections in the gift shop and purchased a tea towel before we left. I always like to try a place 3 times so I may stop in and try something else. Again, great customer service.

    We were in Center TX visiting family, and decided to dine here. There are not many options, but…read morethis seemed to be a good one. When you first walk in you pay for your food and drinks. It's buffet style service. I am not a huge fan of buffets, but the food quality and cleanliness was very good. My food was hot and fresh. We arrived around 5 pm. We ate veggies, fried and baked fish, taco salad, black eyed peas and rice. My wife had the sugar free desserts and thought they were ok. I had the apple cobbler. It was hot, fresh, and delicious. The ice cream was just ok. It was a soft serve that was bland. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. Overall impressions were positive

    Their Sunday Buffet is OUTSTANDING and sooooo much to choose from! There really isn't enough…read morestomach room to sample everything! We arrived with the Sunday lunch crowd, so there was a line out the door. They know what they're doing here though as the staff moved the line along quickly and effeciently, even taking you to your table so you don't have to walk around looking for one. Super friendly staff that checked on us often and kept our used plates cleared as soon as we slid it to the side. The food... there's fried catfish, chicken, okra - actually I'm not going to even try to list everything that was available! There's a Mexican section too. I picked up a whole jalapeno from that section that set my mouth on fire. Besides the jalapeno, I personally had the fried catfish, okra, green beans, fried shrimp, and black eyed peas (which I smashed so they wouldn't roll off my plate). That was the first course. Returned once more for more gut busting deliciousness. Hubby enjoyed the fried chicken. It was crispy, hot, and juicy inside. I wish we had this place where we live. We'd be here all the time! Highly recommend this place!
