I drive from Houston to the Longview/Tyler area multiple times a year, and I'm guilty of planning…read moremy trips to coincide with lunch or dinner from Wienerschnitzel. Those who know me well know that I've spent $200 on A5 grade Kobe Beef in Japan. They also know that I put hot dogs on the same culinary pedestal. The service here has always been wonderful, be it at the window or drive-thru. But my last two visits were a little less than satisfactory. Long story short, I've arrived around 11 a.m. on both previous visits and, as I have continued north of U.S. 59 toward my destination, my hot dogs from this location have had the consistency of something that has been on a convenience store roller for multiple hours. Further, the kraut on my most recent visit tasted like they ran it through rock tumbler alongside aluminum foil. Besides fried okra, hot dogs are my favorite food in the world. Not only have I checked in at hot dog joints and called them "Mecca," I've also attended City Council meetings and encouraged them to attract more hot dog places. This place needs to do better. I understand that employees probably arrive at the joint around 9 a.m. But could the manager ease up on the throttle with tossing dogs on the grill immediately? And the kraut ... it had a strong metallic taste this time around. I'm a little spoiled on kraut, since I make my own, but I can still stomach the canned stuff. This was beyond that. Will I return here? Yep. Hopefully, my next trip will yield some fresher dogs.

I got the chili cheese burger and it was just a mess and honestly had no flavor. It was so bad that I just put ketchup on it to have some sort of taste.

The food is always amazing. The ambiance and service…read moresometimes isn't all that amazing, but it's a hole I'm the wall burger place. Hand formed patties that are comparable to a triple or quadruple sized patty from a fast food joint. Everything I've eaten here is great. The quesadilla burger and kontondo burger are our family favorite. The onion rings are hand dipped and you "only" get 4-7 giant rings, but they're totally worth it. I've also had the fried chicken sandwich, other burger styles, and the Philly, none disappointed. My only complaint is they are open til like 8 on week days but close early like 5 pm Saturday. Not really a complaint, just a personal inconvenience when you want a damn good burger After 5 on Saturday.

The portion sizes are gigantic and you can easily share with someone else or save the rest for later. The only thing i didn't like is they add a surcharge on credit card purchases of 3%. We are moving towards a cashless society and it saves the location the work of processing the money, potential loss, and bank runs anyways. Credit card fees are just the cost of doing business and it seems petty to ask your customers to pony up more money and even worse they ask for a tip as well even through the drive through.

Mom's Diner is one of those classic spots that reminds you why comfort food is called comfort food…read more From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with friendly service, a warm atmosphere, and that nostalgic diner charm that makes you feel right at home. The food here is exactly what you want it to be--hot, fresh, flavorful, and served in portions that definitely won't leave you hungry. The standout for me? The liquid butter. If you know, you know. You can pour that golden magic over the toast, the pancakes, the biscuits--basically anything that'll hold it--and it takes everything to the next level. It's the kind of simple, old-school touch that makes a meal unforgettable. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, grabbing a plate lunch, or just craving some true diner comfort, Mom's never misses. Great people, great food, and great prices. Absolutely a Lufkin gem--and we'll keep coming back!

I get the Wyatt Earp hotdog everytime I go - it's topped with their delicious caramelized bacon and Sriracha that just brings everything else together. I've tried every hot dog on their menu, and I can say that none of them will disappoint you and you will leave satisfied. Their desserts are just as good as well. Your traditional carnival eats jazzed up to the Nth degree. Trust me when I say that you will find something to eat here that will satisfy any craving you have, and you'll leave here feeling 'fat and happy ' as they say. The service is great too. While a two person crew, Jamie and Breian always do their best to make sure every customer is 1) Taken care of, and 2) Always served a meal that hot, fresh, delicious, and worthy of being called Buldogies. Ignore these crappy 1 star, fake reviews. They don't do the restaurant justice, and I can attest that whatever 'nonsense' they are spewing that it's embellished crap with zero information on the situation at the time.

Figured I'd start my time with a chili cheese dog. It did NOT disappoint. Reminded me of how tasty JCI used to be when I was a kid. Juicy hot dog, chili spiced just right not mild or hot just fabulous. Fries were super crispy without being over cooked. Was way too full to have anything else. So I'll have to go back for a funnel cake. They've had some rough times because of construction and other issues but they've barreled right though! Now I feel like I need a good coaster ride.

He's too used to his back up camera. You wait in line and order. The taste of everything was solid. It's fresh. The Cajun dog is made with alligator and pork meat. Texture was good. It's messy so eat it with the fork and knife they gave you, which is my mistake. Everything just tastes better when you eat a hot dog without utensils. The paddie melt is also good as well. The rosemary garlic fries had good flavor and same with the onion rings. They happened to just bring us out the loaded onion rings so we were pleasantly surprised. Service is friendly. Very nice place. The portions were actually loaded because normally I wouldn't think I'd be full from the food but it was really filling. I give it a four out of five because it didn't blow me away.

Once we reached the front of the line, the young lady behind the counter greeted us right away, took our order, and handed us our cups. The drink station was clean and stocked with a good selection. We grabbed a table--both the tables and floors were clean--and within about 10 minutes our food arrived. I ordered the French Toast Combo, which came with four slices of French toast, two eggs, sausage, and seasoned potatoes. The meal came out on two plates, and everything was spot on. The French toast had a perfect light crunch on the outside while staying pillowy soft inside. The scrambled eggs and sausage were solid, and the seasoned potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft inside. My wife ordered the Breakfast BLT--bacon, lettuce, tomato, fried egg, and Duke's mayo. She added a little hot sauce and absolutely loved it. Not a crumb left! She liked it so much that we also picked up a tub of their chicken salad to take home, and it was delicious later that day--no complaints at all.
