Food is delicious. We ordered ribeye, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. My son loved their mac and cheese. The Ribeye had good flavor, and it was big enough for my 10year old and me. Service and attention from our waitress was really good. Not a lot of people so it was quiet and quaint. I will definitely come back. read more

We had lunch here the other day, and it was really quite tasty! At the suggestion of our server, we tried their onion ring as an appetizer (photo below), and they were really extraordinary. We both had chicken fried steak. It was so tender that you could cut it with a fork, but still had a great beef flavor. Very good! read more

Looks amazing until you realize that you've got a giant mountain of breading on your plate!

Live the Relay Station often eat her for a steak on the way home from TRF. Always enjoy the ribeye with a cold shiner boch. I am a knight fighter at TRF and some join me for dinner there as well and we enjoy the casual atmosphere and service. One of us may eat the 85 ounce steak dinner soon. read more

Relay Station Restaurant - Ribeye - Steakhouses Near Me - Plantersville, Texas

Stopped in for a quick burger with some friends. Great service and food, the onion rings were the best I've had in a while!

I know that food prices have gone up but I'd rather pay more for going out to eat than being nickel and dimed to death. I'm not a big fan of their roles but others are and I understand that they're charging per roll if you order more. Quite frankly the steaks here are okay, but for the prices that are being charged, the quality of the meat is just not there. The last three times I've been in I kept hoping for a better experience and unfortunately it just never happened. The steaks are usually overcooked and it saddens me because this is a restaurant which is very close to me geographically and I would love for it to increase in quality! read more

Incredible service. Amazing food. Felt like home cooking. Super clean. Our waitress was happy. Y'all go give The Relay Station another try it's the best meal in Grimes County again. read more

Quick stop for a Friday lunch on a day off! About 5 tables were being served. The ice tea tasted fresh and cold. The wait staff was pleasant and knowledgeable. One of our waitresses was being trained. She did a great job and was extra kind. Napkins, ranch, and tea refills without waiting around. Good food! We ordered the small chicken fried steak with 2 sides - purple hull peas and fried okra for the win. Chicken strips with fries for the kiddo! Gravy and ranch as requested for dipping. We will be back and look forward to trying more items! I also want to sit at the bar to try out the unique bar stools! read more

Relay Station Restaurant - Small CFS, fried okra, and purple hull peas - Steakhouses Near Me - Plantersville, Texas

If you blink you will miss it. I promise it is not a place you want to drive by, STOP! The catfish is perfectly fried in cornmeal and the sides are fresh and delicious. Their pea salad is my favorite. I can take or leave a side salad but theirs is fantastic. The dressings are homemade and they add all kinds of fresh veggies. read more

Ordered a T bone steak cooked med it came out rare no rolls or bun baked potatoe ok the meal cost 48 dollars not worth it will go to roadhouse next time much better food read more

The atmosphere and decor of this restaurant was great. The service was great . The food not so much ...... we were not very impressed at all. The food was very bland, and nothing special . I would rate it right up there with eating at Denny's . read more

The owner is not nice. We heard her YELLING at waitstaff & kitchen staff. Quite unprofessional. Food was good but atmosphere was NOT. read more

Went on a weeknight to have dinner with my sister and brother in law. Not many people in the place. We were well taken care of by our server. Food was great and the atmosphere was good read more

Decent price. Food is average. Service is Horrible always. Bring a jacket because it's cold year round. Only reason I've been there more than once my girlfriend keeps wanting to give it another try about every 5-6 months.. read more

Good restaurant. A little outdated by if you want some fried catfish this is a must try. The service is good and it's hardly ever packed just because of the location I believe. Give it a try! read more

Had an early dinner. Food was delicious! Had chicken fried steak with cream gravy, and okra. Both were crispy and outstanding! Also had Mac and cheese. Not sure if fresh, but still good. The waitress was phenomenal! Very accommodating and quick with refills. She paid very close attention but never felt like she was interrupting. Would definitely go back! Dining room was small, but clean and welcoming, like an old log cabin. Only 2 other parties came in while we were there. Only concern would be if someone in your party had gluten allergies. My wife didn't go, but I know she would've been extremely nervous. They did have grilled chicken and baked potato, but cross contamination is always a concern. read more

It's time to shutdown restaurant if the food & service doesn't improve drastically. The service is at all time worst since 1st visit to restaurant several years ago. Visited earlier this week was sick for two days after eating fish. If owners think they are serving community positively they are wrong . Shut the doors and do something else. read more

Where to start... the service was great and the old school atmosphere. The cheeseburger was amazing along with the fried mushrooms. And the peach cobbler with ice cream 10/10! A MUST STOP read more

Had a wonderful experience here and had the freshest Bacon Cheeseburger I've had since I moved to Texas two years ago. Right off the main highway the Relay Station is the perfect place to stop by in this part of town. They have the largest steak in Texas as well. Great friendly service and I look forward to dropping in again soon! read more

Service left a good bit to be desired. Well, so did the food I suppose. I don't see a real reason to revisit.

Great food. Family owned and operated. Best catfish and steaks The onion rings are hand breaded and some of the best you'll ever have. read more

Always amazing food, and good service. Not to mention the people are super kind and funny!

Oh my goodness, when did this place go to heck in a handbasket? All around, table of 8, and not one person serving and only one cook on a Sunday after church time. My daughter and I shared a chopped steak which was at best, void of any seasoning and I got my own mashers with canned gravy and one other unmemorable side, hubs had catfish and coleslaw and only so, so. My sister and brother in law and their grandchildren were all really surprized at how much this once really great place has changed. My grandson ate his food because its the only thing you can't get wrong on a child's plate, a burger with no.bun. Dry meat patty drowning in Ketchup with fries.. I know they had a fire about a year ago, but they should be back up like the old Relay Station was. We waited and waited for what seemed like forever to get our food. Poor waitress and cook...short staffed and not but us a a few more small tables.. read more

Good food and service. Could be a bit cleaner but overall yummy food. Usually a good ambiance with nice people.

6 of us went for a late lunch today and enjoyed the all u can eat catfish(one had to be different & order steak). We decided it was some of the best we have had! The fried pickles were a big hit too. Definitely will go back read more

Pretty good little steak house. My family generally leaves happy. We find ourselves there at least one sometimes twice a month.

Great steakhouse. Clean, great food and service. Worth the drive from College Station. read more

Love this country side home cooking restaurant. Some of the freshest home cooked food around. From the fried mushroom that are the freshest, juiciest to the burgers...oversized hand pressed, homemade buns ( for Boone burger ) to the grilled catfish with baked potato, fried okra and another one had club sandwich with French fries. Super yummy served with iced cold beer and featuring Bermhardt wines. Plus great service read more

Great Service, food and prices, definitely recommend trying it out, my husband and I each got the ribeye comes with two sides (he got 2 mashed potatoes/Cole slaw, I got the mashed too but with mac and cheese *asked for a second order because its so good* for the potatoes you get to pick the gravy, we got white) nice big steak! read more

Ordered a $30 steak and was only able to eat a few bites. The quality of meat was terrible and full of gristle. My kids ordered burgers and they were unimpressive. Nothing g like the photos pictured on yelp. Our drinks stayed empty. Overall our family of 4 had almost a $100 tab and we all were incredibly disappointed with quality of our meals. read more

My husband and I were a little skeptical as we pulled up because it was prime supper time (7-7:30pm) and there was only 1 car in the lot. But we gave them a chance and I'm glad we did! We started with the chicken fried bacon and some sweet teas. The tea was fresh brewed and sweetened with real sugar. The chicken fried bacon was hand breaded and fried to a golden brown but not over fried. It was served with a "spicy ranch" which I think equated to homemade ranch with Tabasco but it paired well with the bacon. I got a small chicken fried steak with cream gravy, loaded baked potato, and a salad. The salad was a help yourself salad bar. The lettuce and vegetable offerings were fresh and the ranch as stated previously was homemade. There were about 4 other options for dressing if ranch is not your style. The small chicken fried steak took up half the plate and was cooked to perfection. The steak was tender and the crust was golden and crunchy. The baked potato was a nice size and was loaded with butter, cheese, sour cream, and fresh bacon bits. My husband had the ribeye, medium rare, macaroni and cheese and a salad. The cut of the steak(Ribeye) wasn't great but it was cooked as asked and flavored well. The Mac and cheese was not homemade but tasted great, similar to KFC mac n cheese. The service was great. The waitress seemed unimpressed to be there, but was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed. She may have been overwhelmed and tired as it seems they are looking for some full time help. All in in all a great place to eat some down home country food! read more

EXCELLENT ! It may look like a old barn from the outside but the owners cooking is top notch on the inside . STEAK is great QUALITY here - huge portions that make you money go a long way and the steaks are hand cut on sight - they actually will carve you out any size steak you want . The owner is the grill man and when it comes to down home cooking of moth watering no nonsense steaks this place beats all the hundreds of other steak places I visit while traveling coast to coast for my work . Only open on the weekends . Small town so if you blink you cod miss this place . Smoking is in bar section ONLY ,never in main dining room. I smoke so Ate at one of the tables in the bar. You ain't ever had a down home farm cooked steak until you eat here !!! read more

Foods good, service is not. We thought last time might have been a fluke. But it wasn't. Early dinner, only 2 tables in the restaurant , 2 waitresses and a cook. Still couldn't get refills on fish or pay out. :( it was sad.... I'm in the service industry, I give ppl the benefit of the doubt.... read more

Very Friendly wait staff. I usually go on Friday for the all you can eat catfish. Never has failed me yet. Very clean restaurant and fresh food. read more

Despite the humble exterior and it's very dated decor, the 10oz ribeye special, was cooked as specified and seasoned very well. Usually at other steak places, the steak needs some sauce help...not here. I also ordered the fried okra and broccoli. The okra was hot and fresh. And although I am gluten intolerant, I had to see if the roll was homemade, just a small taste. If it's not homemade, it's hard tell. My husband had the 20oz tbone, green beans and broccoli. His steak was also cooked to perfection but didn't really like his green beans (because they were out of a can with bacon added). All in all, it was a great out of the way place to have a quiet dinner, but bring your jacket because it was pretty cold in the restaurant. read more

FAT FAIRY REVIEW: the family wanted to go out and eat from the Texas RenFaire Campgrounds. So we went to Yelp to find where we would be visiting tonight. This place didn't have allot of reviews BUT all the ones they did have where all good. So we decided to give it a try... Well this fairy is even more tubby and happy after this trip. I had the Chicken Fried Sandwich and the family had Steak (Prefect and Amazing) Catfish (thumbs up on the Catfish) even the sides everyone enjoyed. So worth driving to visit. Waitstaff was super friendly and sweet. read more
