    Snapper
    Dave F.

    If you're looking for some really good food without outrageous pricing -- you've struck gold with this place. Same story - Yelp led me here. Apparently the place has been open for about 6 weeks. That means it's not yet crowded. The menu has a mix of steak, seafood, sides, and appetizers. Everything we tried was outstanding / not kidding. My snapper was cooked to perfection and the topping just made it all even so much better! I absolutely cannot wait to work my way through their menu. The place is laid back. You can enjoy some great steak and seafood without dressing for a fashion show. This place will end up BUSY soon. Come enjoy this place before the secret gets out...

    Cajun Pasta
    Katie H.

    Wow! I almost didn't try this place because it's been "Coming Soon" for almost exactly 2 years!! But I was looking for something different tonight and it popped up on Yelp and had great reviews so I decided to check it out and I'm so glad I did. The food is SO good!!! We got the fried calamari (breaded in-house and so tender), Redfish (shrimp and crab on top of white wine cream sauce) w/ asparagus and the Cajun Pasta which was OUTSTANDING. I'm really looking forward to going back and trying everything on the menu.

    We stopped by after seeing a FaceBook post from Food Happenings, and I'm so glad we did! Everything about our visit was outstanding--from the excellent service to the spotless atmosphere and delicious food. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the sirloin, and I had the blackened chicken... hands down the juiciest chicken I've ever had! Tatiyana was our server, and she was incredibly professional, attentive, and courteous throughout the meal. Roger, one of the managers, also stopped by a couple of times to check on us, which really added a personal touch. This was an all-around fantastic dining experience, and we will definitely be back!

    Stuffed flounder with crawfish and shrimp and a side of loaded backed potato

    Newly opened steak and seafood restaurant close to Kuykendahl and West Rayford. Very tasty gator bites appetizers followed by wonderful crawfish duet (fried/etouffee) and stuffed flounder. We finished our meal with a chocolate lava cake. Tatiana our server is extremely attentive and cordial ensuring all our needs were met. Enjoyed the country Christian music playing in the background.

    Frozen Marg
    Kate F.

    So happy this place is finally open! Came for lunch after hearing amazing things online. We have been waiting forever for this place to open and finally gave it a try. We came for lunch and started with fried calamari. I normally think calamari is super rubbery and gross, but the calamari here is excellent! It's fried to perfection and the batter seasoning is on point..I also had to have a frozen Marg, because of course I did. It was super refreshing and perfect on a hot day. For my meal, I got the crawfish Ettoufe which was creamy and delicious with the perfect amount of kick to it. Not too spicy, but just the right amount. My husband got the Pete's platter and loved ever single item on it. We cannot wait to come back and try everything on their menu. It's so nice to have something of this caliber in a neighborhood setting, and honestly for the quality of the food - the pricing is extremely reasonable. The service was also top notch and we were super well taken care of. I really hope this place kills it, because we needed this!!!

    Caesar salad

    I'd like to say upfront...this is a great restaurant! Service - terrific, ambience - perfect, food - OUTSTANDING!! We first had the fried calamari which was fresh, tender and terrific. I had the seafood pasta...wonderful. My daughter had the stuffed reddish- excellent. Prices were very reasonable. Will absolutely go back!!Highly recommend!

    We've been waiting for Papa Peter's to open and so glad they did. Food was amazingly delicious and service was up to par.

    Seafood Fondue
    Kristen G.

    Went yesterday for a late lunch/early dinner and it was amazing! The crawfish bisque had tons of crawfish and a delicious flavor. We also tried the seafood fondue as an appetizer. It was perfect! If you love the one at Babin's or Pappadeaux, you'll be happy to have this dish available closer than having to drive over to I-45! My daughter got the seafood burrito and it's MASSIVE!!! Husband ate the leftovers we brought home and they both give it 2 thumbs up. It has a delicious creamy seafood sauce over the top of it that we dipped our fries into. I went with the stuffed crab and fries. Delicious! It comes in a medium or large size. The medium has 2 stuffed crabs and I can't recall what our server said is the large size. The fries are very thin, cooked perfectly, and they have delicious seasoning on top. We took home a few to-go boxes and our food was boxed up for us tableside. Very nice touch. They have flavored teas and lemonades. I got the mango tea unsweetened and daughter got mango lemonade. Both great! Daughter said she couldn't taste the mango that much but really loved the drink. Our server was Tsjaa and she was lovely. The manager stopped by a few times too to check on us. One thing to be aware of is that at the bottom of the check, it is stated: Cash discounted pricing on menu. Card price displayed on check. This wasn't an issue to me but I think some folks could feel differently since you don't see that statement until you receive your bill. Overall, we highly recommend it and I can't wait to go back to try more of the menu!

Things may have changed since some of these diners reviewed but our whole party had great things to say. We all agreed we would go again at another time. We were lucky enough to get Megan as our server and she was phenomenal. Great asset to this business. She took the time to go over and give recommendations. It was our first time there. Very family friendly and the decor was well done. They offer a small bar in the front as you enter the restaurant for those who might want appetizers and watch a game and hangout. They appear to have a private room off to the side that holds about 50 people that they offer with a guarantee that you will spend a certain amount of money. We would def try again when we are in the area. Nice job Pecos Grilling Co. Wish you lots of success and lots more visitors to come your way. You are doing things right.

I re-asked several different ways and finally got what I was looking for! We waited about 5 minutes. We ordered a drink at the bar and then got sat. Once sat, our waitress acknowledged us about 3-5 minutes later. We ordered 2 waters, a coke and cheese sticks. The coke came first. The cheese sticks about 5 minutes later, then the water about 10 minutes later. Our waitress stopped by before the water got there to see if we were ready to order. We didn't even have water yet! The place was pretty busy. Our waitress just struggled to keep up with her tables. There was another waitress who was more experienced that jumped in and helped us. We finally were able to order our dinner. The cook, or someone, came out to tell us they were out of the cut of meat we ordered. This was a disappointment because we were here to celebrate my other half's birthday. So it wasn't off to a great start. We picked something else and by the time we got our food, it was cold. (Can you hear the heavy sigh?) The manager offered to take care of my meal, but I'm not about getting a free meal. I ended up letting him give us a discount. He was very nice and really tried to make things right. So, with all the things that went wrong, I am willing to give this place a try again.

We didn't get to try a lot of items on their menu so my impression is limited to what we ordered. For appetizers, we had a variety of empanadas (spicy ground beef, chicken chipotle, italian, fugazetta). All are very tasty and probably one of the best items they have. The chimichurri that comes with them is a stand-out. We had the platter of mixed meats (parrillada che gaucho) that included 3 kinds of sausages, chicken breast, sweetbread, short rib, flank and skirt steaks. The sausages were good, the chicken was standard grilled chicken breast and the beef cuts were pretty tough (our knives had a really hard time cutting through them). Again, the chimichurri is the star and makes the meats much better. It came with 2 sides so we chose asparagus and fries tossed in garlic+parsley. For dessert, we had an apple maple empanada and a banana dulce de leche empanada with ice cream. Both are delicious but that banana one is a must-try. Fabulous.

Unfortunately we did not find this place good enough to recommend or even to come back. We ordered a dozen empanadas, we found the salteña ones full of flavor but we did not like the flavor. We also disliked that the grease was dripping. The salteña a cuchillo had the same flavor as the salteña to my palate, but the salteña a cuchillo has pieces of potato which in my opinion doesn't go great in such a small empanada. I ordered the mushroom with cheese and it was freezing cold inside. It was so small there was no point in saying anything. The spinach and cheese was flavorless. We tried ordering the salad with skirt but it turns out their meat for the salad is premade and it had to be well done, same for a sandwich. My husband does not like well done steak. I never once saw any raw meat on their grill or smelled meat being cooked. Maybe all their meats are precooked. I did not like the flavor of their chimichurri either, that's what I was mostly excited about because I love chimichurri, but no. We were disappointed and sadly will not come back. The precooked meat is difficult to overcome!

    I had not been to Goodson's in years--well over a decade at least. So when both my wife and…read moremother-in-law suggested we stop in for lunch, I didn't hesitate. We started with the Fried Green Tomatoes. They were good, but not quite enough to dethrone our longtime appetizer champion: Pecos' fried pickle chips. The prices were reasonable, so I decided to go full-bore and order the "Cowboy" Chicken Fried Steak, which was only a few dollars more than the "Cowgirl" version. Mom chose the Chicken Fried Chicken, while my wife went with the Pot Roast. When our food arrived, I was genuinely taken aback. My chicken fried steak was larger than the plate it was served on--seriously, it was that big. The side dishes were equally generous. After bringing the leftovers home, I managed to get two more meals and a sandwich out of that steak. Likewise, both of my ladies left with take-home boxes, and that NEVER happens with Mom. She typically treats these lunch outings as her main meal of the day, but even she waved the white flag. So why not a five-star review? The answer comes down to flavor. While the portions were enormous, the service was excellent, and the prices were more than fair, the seasoning seemed a little timid. Across the board, the food could have used a bit more punch and personality. Nothing was bad--it just never quite crossed into memorable territory. That said, I would absolutely recommend Goodson's, especially if you have family or friends visiting from out of state. It showcases two classic Texas traits: HUGE portions and good value. As for the mild seasoning? If your guests are from up North, they'll probably feel right at home.

Upon arrival we noticed the live music was held on the outside patio that's shared with some other neighboring restaurants.

In the meantime we sat in the bar area. A gentleman approached us initially to take our drink order, then he switched with another waitress. The restaurant was really nice with dim lighting that sets the tone for an intimate date night. We ordered a wedge salad, crab cakes, steak, fries, and mac n cheese. Presentation of the food was really nice and overall the food was decent. We anticipated this steakhouse being comparable to a Perry's or Kirby's, however customer service and food quality did not meet the bar as we expected.

TL:DR it is a solid choice for a special experience and a great steak. I would go again. We started off with a couple of mocktails: The Blood Orange Fizz and the mint virgin Old Fashioned. The Old Fashioned was a very tasty concoction--no alcohol burn of course but it captured the sharpness of an Old Fashioned and I really liked the mint. The Blood Orange Fizz was a mild disappointment--it had very little fizz and really needed it. Flavor was OK but not as good flat. We later got a bourbon flight, which was delivered by the bourbon sommelier and was quite fun. For starters we got a wedge salad, the Steakhouse Meatballs, and the Bacon Wrapped Scallops. The salad was fine, a standard garden salad with nice fresh ingredients. The meatballs were excellent--a steak and pork belly blend with a blueberry pepper sauce with onion strings. Great texture, lots of umami and good salt flavor. I absolutely want these next time. Same with the bacon wrapped scallops. They come on a bed of 3-cheese grits that were wonderfully creamy. The sauce has just a little heat. The scallops and bacon were cooked just right. Their seafood entrees are served over these grits, and though we didn't get any seafood I would try some next time for the grits. On to the mains: We had the Refuge Filet, the New York Strip, the Wood-fired Chicken, and the pork chop. The Refuge Filet was the highlight--the jalapeno, bacon and bleu cheese really complement the steak flavor. The steak was impeccably tender and done just right. The New York Strip was also very good. I am not a fan of this cut--when I cook it at home it's always tough. But their version is reasonably tender and has great flavor from the tallow butter they put on it. The steaks came with mashed potatoes that were pretty bland and ordinary. The wood-fired chicken was tender and had good flavor. It is marinated in lemon but we couldn't really taste it except in the bed of risotto. The risotto was quite good, nice and creamy. The pork chop was complicated. It had a tender uniform texture all the way through and nice flavor. I couldn't find any grain in it, almost like it was a fine grind. The sauce was ok, a bit one-note sweet for me. Different from and perhaps better than Perry's chop, but I think I would try something else next time. These dishes came with Apple-Bacon Brussels Sprouts and roasted carrots. The brussels sprouts were a disappointment. Might have known since it's misspelled on the menu. The brussels sprouts were barely cooked and quite tough, with too much of the bottom stem left on, adding to the bitterness. The roast carrots were fine. Since we had a birthday in the party we were treated to a special dessert. Birthday dessert at The Refuge has two major advantages--a nice tableside presentation of bread pudding flambe, and no annoying birthday song. Yay! Definitely tell them it's your birthday. The dessert is a banana bread pudding topped with ice cream. Rather uniform texture but good flavor and excellent with the ice cream. The ambiance is appropriately dark and sumptuous for a fancy steakhouse. The bathrooms are upscale, with available cloth towels. Service was fine but at a pretty relaxed pace, I definitely felt ready for the next course before it came. But we at times requested things from waiters other than the one waiting our table, and they responded immediately--good teamwork. This is not a bargain place, but we got out for under $100 apiece which I actually think is pretty good for an end-to-end meal. If you go to a steakhouse for steaks, you will do well at The Refuge.
