We were driving from Houston to Chicago and wanted to find a great Texas BBQ place before leaving…read morethe state. After reading the reviews, we decided to stop at Cackle & Oink, and I'm really glad we did. The BBQ was excellent, but what made this stop memorable was Brittany. Even though this isn't a full-service restaurant and you order at the counter, Brittany went out of her way to make us feel welcome. She checked on us several times, stopped by our table to make sure we had everything we needed, answered our questions with a smile, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience. She wasn't just doing her job--she was creating an atmosphere that made us feel like valued guests. In a world where customer service often feels rushed or impersonal, Brittany was a breath of fresh air. You can tell she takes pride in what she does, and that reflects incredibly well on Cackle & Oink. The food was absolutely worth the stop, but Brittany is the reason we'll remember it long after this road trip is over. If every restaurant had someone like her, dining out would be a much better experience. If you're passing through Sherman, don't drive by this place. Stop, enjoy some outstanding BBQ, and hopefully you'll have the pleasure of meeting Brittany.

I'm new to the menu, and Amy made the whole experience easy and memorable. She was calm, patient,…read moreand genuinely helpful. No rush and no pressure. She suggested I try a mustard based secondary sauce with the pulled pork, and that completely elevated the plate. The pulled pork was exactly what you want. Tender, smoky, and balanced. The baked beans and cabbage showed they care about the full meal, not just the meat. But what really stood out was the service. Amy did not just take an order. She guided the experience in a way that felt personal. If you go, ask for Amy. I will definitely be back.

I went to the city limits yesterday because my husband wanted good chicken wings for Father's Day…read more I called in an order and went and picked them up. He said they are truly the best chicken wings he has eaten in this area. I had some quesadillas and they were great just like always. These people are all great and I love the restaurant for its nostalgic look!

First time eating here. And it was wise choice. Met a couple…read moreat the entrance that said they eat here Every Sunday! Once inside it was apparent why. Every one was so happy and conversing at each table. As the orders arrived all around us , you could see the pleasure and anticipation on their faces. We saw several dishes that made it easy to make our menu selections. Our waitress guided us to spectacular choices. Started with chips and hot sauce. 7 layer dip appetizer was mouthwatering Veggie Quesadillas as main course Chicken Quesadillas too. Chicken Fried Steak with French fries and a side salad was exceptional. One anomaly is they don't have mashed potatoes!!! Weird They do offer a baked potato. Our waitress was so caring, knowledgeable, and talented. The atmosphere and vibe is everything you could hope for in a restaurant like this. One guy next to us eats here several times a week. Next visit will include one of their famous club sandwiches and a classic burger. It's located just off Highway 75 on Texoma Parkway I recommend you add this to your Must Try Soon list I guarantee you will love it and return quickly See you there!

We have been here in the past and had a nice meal. Yesterday was a bit disappointing. The food was…read morejust not that tasty. Also, be warned, if you order the fried tilapia expecting a nice filet, you'll be surprised. They serve the entire fish. OK, I get it, that's how it's done. I just wish there was something on the menu telling you that. I'm not a fan of the process of dissecting the fish to get little pieces of flesh. Also not a fan of waiting in line to order and then waiting in line, again, to pay.

A first rate Indian restaurant…read more They call themselves Nepali. And the entrepreneurs may easily be Nepali. In the US, calling yourself a Nepali restaurant means taking a standard North Indian menu and adding momo and some Chinese dishes. In Nepal, they eat a lot more than momo. Mountainous regions in poor countries often use forms of protein that Americans don't particularly care for. (Fill in the blanks yourself on this one.) Doing that in the U.S. would be commercial suicide. At one time, Mount Everest had goat intestine on the menu. Goat intestine is relatively un-shocking given other items that Nepalis hunt or butcher and eat. The goat intestines did not sell well and had to be removed from the menu. So mostly what you get here is a plain old North Indian restaurant. Fortunately, Mount Everest is a very good plain old North Indian restaurant. * * * The headline story here is spice. A. Lots of it. B. Not your standard Anglo-Indian curry house spice mixes. I ordered my eggplant with a heat of 4. A heat of 5 is their !!NUCLEAR!! option. 4 is their "Commands Respect- Listen to Me Baby" level. Mount Everest's 4 is most other Indians restaurants 38. Steam came out of ears. Steam came out of eyes. I was amazed my metal container was able to hold that dish. I set a Grayson County speed record for most Naan consumed in the shortest amount of time ... As vast amounts of naan were stuffed into my flaming mouth to lower the temperature. * * * I LOVED IT. I WOULD DO THAT AGAIN IN A NEW YORK MINUTE. * * * If molten lava isn't your thing Ordering your food with a heat of 0 or 1 Will give you a nice lovely very mild dish. Mount Everest caters to all tastes. * * * The spicing here is unusual. This particularly shows up in the salty lassis. I couldn't tell you what the flavor combo was. But it was intriguing and wonderful. That is another dish I would order in a New York minute. * * * Speaking of non-New-York topics, Mount Everest does its best to fit into a Texas-Oklahoma aesthetic. There is a pool table. For all I know, Texoma is full of Indian restaurants with pool tables. But that was the first time, I had ever seen such a thing. They have country-western style decoration, and guitars on the walls to help set a mood. They serve cold beer. I am not used to Texas Ice Houses that also serve Tikka Masala and Aloo Chana. But this is a concept I could definitely learn to like. * * * Overall, this is a first rate establishment. And if you want enough inner fire to be able to climb the Himalayas without wearing a parka, Order any dish with a heat of 5. The snow will melt on either side of you as you pass.
