    Nice, clean restaurant
    Jana G.

    This is a nice and clean restaurant. I stopped by today and had the best chicken fried steak ever! The food is very good, country cooking. The gravy was so tasty- all of the food was. The waitress was very sweet. Highly recommend this place :)

    Baked Chicken over beans.
    Sonya A.

    In a nutshell, Ropers is fresh home style country cookin. I have enjoyed breakfast and lunch here for over a year now and wanted to keep it a secret! But it's too good not to share. I have my go-to's, breakfast tacos with a coffee, chicken fried steak or wings for lunch and I have to have green-beans every time. But occasionally they have specials; one off or repeats that are hard to pass up. This last visit I had was extra enjoyable. They had a baked chicken with beans on special. I enjoy a good baked chicken but this one is right at the top of my most fav list. Baked perfectly, fork tender, cooked through and super juicy. The beans underneath still had bite and were seasoned just right! I could eat this once, even twice a week! It was filling and so so good. It's off a busy farm road in unassuming Simonton, TX. If your ever passing through, make sure you give them a try.

    Patty melt!
    Roxanne R.

    We enjoyed the restaurant portion of the store/restaurant mix. We were greeted quickly and sat down in the back. The AC was out, but it wasn't too bad- better than being in the direct sunlight outside. The girls who waited on us were sweet and were happy to help us! I ordered a patty melt with sautéed mushrooms and onions. I had a side of mashed potatoes with cream gravy and broccoli and cheese casserole. It was tasty, but didn't have a ton of flavor. No problem, added some salt real quick and it worked out. The guys we were with ordered a taco salad, bacon and jalapeño cheeseburger, and fried shrimp. They were good they said! I haven't been in this area before, but I'd probably stop by and eat again if I end up coming through and I'm hungry.

    First, if you don't like a country store that is part grocery store and part restaurant then stay away. Now that being said if you want a good meal with good people serving you, please try this place. We ate the omelettes, pancakes, hash brown and bacon all we enjoyed. I also previously ate the breakfast burritos which were good. One last thing they sell crayons made of gum, awesome! Open Tuesday-Saturday breakfast, lunch and dinner. Daily Specials, including Friday Night Fish and Saturday Steak. Probably has 10-12 tables.

We started off with some great appetizers: note - most of these were off the menu specials for that night. Texas wagyu Thai meatballs - 10/10 - amazing Croquettes - 10/10 - crispy and delicious Shrimp and burrata -10/10 - nice combination Drink: the red sangria was 10/10 - so refreshing! Entree: I ordered the halibut special. The halibut was buttery with a nice flaky crust. It was accompanied by mashed potatoes with a chorizo cream sauce. This was outstanding!!! They should really make this part of the regular menu. I 100% recommend it if you hear it on the off menu specials. Side: Mac and cheese and we added a lobster tail - 9/10 - was super tasty. Desserts: Spiced rum bread pudding - 10/10 - this is THE only dessert you need to get. Key lime pie - 7/10 - good Coconut cream pie - 9/10 - I thought this was very yummy! It has a cool country vibe. We sat outside and the live music was great! The only thing is that it is very hot, so if you don't like that. I recommend sitting inside. Service was a 10/10. Our server, Steven, was awesome. He had some terrific recommendations and everything was spot on. Def recommend trying this place out.

It's very cute and has a country-like, warm, welcoming vibe. Cons: the main food lacked flavor (chicken, roast, calamari, bread, steak), service wasn't friendly and it's expensive. I'm not a fan and won't be back, definitely not worth the drive or price.

I had salad that was stuffed with fresh lettuce, apples, candied pecans, blue cheese and a delicious apple vinaigrette dressing. I added grilled chicken, making it a healthy, yet filling meal. My friend had the chicken crepes which came with thick, beautiful asparagus and broccoli. The crepes were served with a mushroom cream sauce that made it a very rich dish. The chicken tortellini soup was the special of the day, and had a thick broth as the base, stuffed with chicken meat and cheese filled pasta.
