Hours on Yelp are incorrect. They are closed on Sundays. I drove over 500 miles to eat here and there closed. I won't make that mistake again. read more

I went here because it came "highly recommended" from a friend. Her recommendations are normally pretty good. I was a bit disappointed, the food was okay, nothing special. The service was subpar. And the ambiance was that of a cafeteria to be honest. The pricing is pretty high for the quality. Definitely nothing to write home about. read more

This is a great place if you love steak. Lunch was amazing. Large sirloin with two sides. Had turnip greens and mashed potatoes. Everything was cooked perfect and the price was very affordable. The place was crowded but the wait time was not long. I'll be back next time I'm in the area read more

My last review was deleted, so I'll leave it again. I believe in full transparency. My family of 3 recently visited this location. We ordered pickle chips as an appetizer and there was a piece of metal served with them. It appeared to be part of the fryer basket, as it looked like a thick metal wire, and was connected to the batter on a pickle chip. Could have been a dangerous situation had my 4 year old picked that piece instead of myself. The waitress was young and seemed very nonchalant when I brought it to her attention. They did comp the pickle chips, but the lack of concern over the situation was worrisome. Please be careful if you choose to eat here. Check your fried food carefully, especially if children are dining. read more

I came with a local college grad and he had raised the bar very high. They sent us waaaaay over the top! It's great food for a great price! I love the originality and the honesty of the staff. They pointed me through the menu and suggested some solid dishes. I'll admit I've been here a few times and it is a regular stop every time. I feel like you haven't been to college station until you've been here. I Sodolaks! read more

This was the first time in a long time that we ate there we have always order to go. The service was great and the food was so good. We will be back soon. read more

Great service and extremely friendly staff. This is where all the locals go and for good reason! They have the best burgers and chicken fried steak in this part of Texas. All the food is fresh, well seasoned, and plentiful. If you go right at noon, you may have a slight wait, but it will be worth it! read more

Very mom and pop steakhouse that is kept alive by locals and college students alike. Very fair prices for giant portions is the reason for 5 stars from me. The meatloaf reminded me of my mothers and the pork chop was enough for 3 meals. There's a reason why this restaurant is still relevant in a very competitive college town food scene. read more

Great food, good prices and service was top notch. Nice little restaurant, without all the unnecessary flair.

Do not expect more Than country cooking fare and don't ask for a wine list. It's red or white, which is not a bad thing if you're prepared for this Chicken fried steak is awesome. Steaks good too but do not come if you're trying to eat healthy. read more

I have now had the privilege of eating at both locations and they both have good food and service. The age of the places and decor set them apart. This one seems newer and has a very Christian theme with bible quotes and "thoughts" on large white boards on most sides of the dining room. Our favorite thought posted on our visit was something like...if God gave you a challenge the size of Goliath then he must think you have a little David in you. The food...we ordered exactly the same things that we had at the Snook location a few weeks prior. We started off with chicken fried bacon and enjoyed it thoroughly until we read the health warnings on a recipe that had been downloaded from the internet. Ha ha! As for comparison. The pieces here were much bigger, yet fewer and the bacon inside the chicken fry was not as crispy. But it was still very good. Next chicken fried steak. One size fits all here and it covers the plate. It's really the batter that covers the plate. The steak itself took up 1/2 to 1/3 of the plate and it was super thin. Still very good and we couldn't finish it. Plenty of delicious white cream gravy too. Now for the sides... Fries -perfect All the way mashed potatoes -gummy Green beans- probably canned but still tasty Hushpuppies- way over done, practically burned Service efficient. Offering refills and providing the check well before we were ready to go. No inquiry as to how the food was or if we wanted dessert. No we wouldn't have wanted any but we did need to go containers for our leftovers which there was plenty. Would we eat here again? Absolutely! read more

So many tempting menu items, all southern-style comfort foods. Friendly wait staff, Was packed at lunch time, so you know it's good. Easygoing, casual atmosphere. Down to earth, relaxed place where it's easy to feel at home. Will definitely be back. read more

Placed a to-go order. I ordered and payed for extra rolls. Picked it up and drove all the way home. Yep no extra rolls, called them and all they could say was "ok". Beware !!! I'll never go back!! read more

Large menu selections and portions. Everything we have ordered has been over the top! Great food and service!

GREAT place to go anytime alone, with friends or family. this place should give lessons on customer service. Clean and fun, one of our favorite places to go for our large family dinners. read more

If you would like to dine with the locals then you have to visit this place. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and of course the food. Portions were huge so come hungry and don't fill up on the bread basket. We had the steak and meatloaf. Steak was really juicy and cooked well. The meatloaf was good but I didn't particularly like the canned mushrooms. Otherwise very classic and down to earth. Very, very busy too! Be ready to wait for a table but it is worth the wait. If we had more time we would have gone again. read more

Very good food at a very reasonable price. I've had the fried pork chops as well as the chicken fried steak and both were tasty. The waitstaff has always been friendly and helpful. read more

I have never had any problems here at this location first of all. today I decided I wanted a 14oz Sirloin steak well Don well seasoned Side choices were Corn and broccoli rice casserole. I received my steak and tried to cut into it it was HARD. I then call my waitress over to show her and her response made me change my mind totally for even ordering. I told her I will just pay for my drink. I got to the cashier and the lady tells me They couldn't cancel the order they could either replace the order or make it over I will be charged for something I wasnt Satisfied with. I DONT UNDER THIS TYPE OF Customer service. they both the waiter was and cashier began to argue with me telling me what I was going to do because this will effect the FOOD COST!! if the owner reads this You need to retrain your employee and tell them The Customer is Always right and if I am not satisfied with the product and not even consumer it I should have the right to decline the meal and pay for my drink. Not to be argued with and made to feel like I was the inconvenience and you All Not Take FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR A UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE. I will Never come back here if I don't hear from the business owner about this unpleasant visit. I expected to hear from owners no one from the restaurant level was present. read more

Great CFS. Sweet tea and fried okra. Steaks coming out of kitchen looked great. Sides are okay but remember that the name is Beefmasters not "Fusion". A little crowded in the wait and checkout are during rush period. Think 1950-1960s upscale downtown cafe in small town. read more

Came here for a family celebration over Ring weekend!! Seems like it's a popular place for families since the place was literally overflowing with maroon. They have lunch specials and the portions are VERY generous. Delicious food for a good price. Of course this isn't a fancy steakhouse, so if that's what you're expecting then this is not the place. It's more of a comfort food and homey feel with great food. We were taken care of and accommodated well. Didn't understand what the big deal about the ice teas were until I had a few sips. Great thing about this is they aren't stingy at all and will pour your refills and give you a to-go cup!! Awesome!! After the first basket of bread, it's 50cents each, FYI. Nothing bad to say here, definitely come check it out if you're in town since it only exists in College Station, or so I'm told! read more

Upon entering the establishment, one understands why they will not seat incomplete tables -- not only is the place actually kind of small due to somewhat inefficient design, this restaurant gets crowded, and it's best to refrain from letting your eyes wander around for fear of catching the eye of a customer dolefully gazing at your fried pickles while waiting to be seated. The free bread (one bun per customer) is warm and satisfying as is the salted butter. Any food you order is large enough to satisfy even the hungriest soul, and it is hot, hot, hot when you receive it. I had the catfish nuggets, recommended by someone who assured us that the catfish nuggets were infinitely tastier than the tenders. While I did not try the tenders, I wouldn't argue against that assertion as the nuggets. were. good. A little on the bland side, but they were well-breaded and fried, and the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce that came with made up for any lack of spice. I chose the broccoli cheese and rice, which was flavorful but dismally void of substantial broccoli, and the jalapeno hush puppies were flavorful but a tad dry. Aside from one of our table's party getting dripped on consistently by the A/C throughout the dinner, we enjoyed our dinner and the chance to watch and discuss the NBA Draft on several strategically-placed TV's around the room. read more

It was nice to see a very busy restaurant so crowded with people waiting to be seated and orders flying out the door! My wife and I were seated almost immediately which was great given the people waiting! Our waitress was personable and patient while my "Better half" took a bit perusing their menu so I ordered the Jalepeno Hush puppies. Our "Pups" arrived right away, small salty and slightly spicy balls with a nice crunch. Not bad given I'm not a regular connoisseur of them! I decided to get a medium rare ribeue with potato salad, turnip greens and a salad with Bleu cheese. My wife ordered Chicken Fried Steak, fried green beans, baked potato with multiple toppings and black eye peas. My salad was, for a side salad, great! It was cold romaine and radicchio with several red onion slices, a big juicy fresh tomato slice and 2 small containers of Bleu cheese for dressing control which I loved. My main order came and looked perfect! A nice cut perfectly seasoned with salt/pepper cooked exactly medium rare which isn't a simple feat! Since I've transplanted this steak was way better then other restaurants Ive Yelped that were 4X the cost! My side of turnip greens was plain so our waitress suggested a pepper vinegar that improved the flavor and the potato salad suggested was quite good also. My wife said her chicken fried steak was surprisingly very good, whatever that means, and her sides were also satisfying as well! I'd like to make a huge point about this restaurant though that I could not have expected. Our waitress Kilee was PHENOMENAL!! She was on top of everything without being overbearing and attentive, funny and personable which is a quality not easy to find. Our other waitress, Nicole, was a little firecracker of personality and added to our very satisfying dining experience that we look forward to coming back again! read more

Fantastic! Stopped because of the name alone as we were driving through town for the first time. Man this place was great. Huge portions, seated immediately, clean and family friendly. Waitress was fantastic and helped with recommendations. This is a definite must stop if you are in the area. read more

Ate dinner here after an annual conference. I had the grilled pork chop dinner with fries and turnip greens. The food was good but the thickness of the pork chops has been reduced. I have eaten here years ago and you got two decent sized pork chops. The pork chops I got this time were on the thin side. The flavor of everything was great. My coworker ordered the ribeye and it looked great. I will go with the ribeye next time I visit. The service was great as well. read more

As I finish my meal I look up and see a big dry erase board with scripture and a long list of anti government crap upset because from when the government imposed stay at home mandate using the scripture to blast all the Covid and welfare support that has happened. It mentions god sayid to work six days a week but conveniently leaving out the 7th day should be for rest since they've at to be open 7 days a week. I really hate how they added and omitted from the scripture to make a point and although the food is good I will not come back. read more

Go to for ChickenFriedSteak. The food NEVER disappoints, neither has the service. The Bible verses all over the place help me think not all is lost, they're still sane people out there lol... Keep it up Sodolak's! read more

Great food and service. Homey, Christian atmosphere. Gets very busy, plan ahead. Home cooking. Lots of parking.

This review would have been higher than this but my family was extremely embarrassed by the staffs decisions. We sat down with myself my wife and our kids. My sister inlaw got off early and asked to join us so we confirmed with our waitress if she could be sat at the end of our table she said yes. So we proceeded to enjoy ourselves and AFTER our food was delivered and half eaten. We were asked to move to another table so we asked why and it was because of the chair at the end of our table created a fire Hazzard which I could see that being an issue but then they just moved us to a booth with a chair at the end creating the same issue. After that another waitress brought me a refill on a drink with stuff at the bottom of the drink. I had not given any reason for this treatment and I will let everyone I know about this situation in hopes they do not receive the same treatment. read more

This place was awesome! This was our first time here and we bombarded them with 19 people, but they accommodated us! We ordered The following appetizers: chicken fried bacon, tornadoes, fried onions and jalapeños, corn nuggets. All of it was amazing. For dinner I ordered the country fried steak, fried okra, loaded mashed potatoes, and black eyed peas. When I tell y'all it was soooo good, it was sooooo good. The size of the country fried steak was insane. Seriously enough for 3 people. A must have when in this part of Texas. Oh, and the girls that work there were amazing!!! read more

I'll start off by noting that I don't normally give 5 star reviews but Sodalaks certainly deserved it. 14 of my classmates descended on them shortly after they opened the doors for the day. The staff graciously herded us tables that were set aside for the group. The restaurant featured a luncheon special on the menu with a wide variety of entrees and sides and included the beverage for one price. I opted for the catfish. I expected a couple of smallish fillets. What got was two HUGE fillets that were done to perfection. The sides were on par with the catfish. Service was what you'd expect from a 2 chair table with no one else in the place. Even with the restaurant crowded, our meals came out as close together as they could be, the water and tea glasses were kept filled. Overall the food was great, the service was better. If I find myself back in town,I'll definitely return. read more

Great steak. Wonderful staff. Very fair price!! Highly recommend Sodalaks. I will always eat there every time I travel through Bryan.

The steak is not bad and Texas roadhouse is better. The price is attractive, especially for the lunch special. The only disadvantage is the location. Too far from college Station. Overall it's a good restaurant. It would be great if they have sweet potato fries. read more

Staffs did not wear masks or anything to prevent covid spread. People were not seated at least 6 feet apart and the servers spoke all over your food while they gave it to you. Food was nothing special. Too pricey for what they offer. Will not be coming back read more
