We stopped in on Thursday around 5:30 p.m. hoping to grab some salted caramel cookies, but they were sold out. So my husband ordered three Heath cookies and three white chocolate macadamia nut cookies instead. When the employee handed us our order, there was only one white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. My husband politely let her know that he had ordered three. Instead of simply saying, "Oops, let me fix that," she immediately argued that he had only asked for one. When he asked for the other two cookies, she gave us an obvious attitude. I honestly don't understand why. It's not like we were asking for free cookies--we paid for the other two. Maybe she was annoyed that she had to ring them up separately, but regardless, that isn't how customers should be treated. We stayed polite the entire time. We didn't raise our voices or give her any attitude back. It was disappointing to be treated that way over such a simple mistake. Experiences like this leave a bad impression, and my husband said that was the last time he'll shop at this location. The really disappointing part is that they make some damn good cookies. It's a shame that great products are being overshadowed by poor customer service.

A steakhouse, even a chain, should be able to cook a steak to the proper doneness. My medium filet…read morecame out on the rare side. I sent it back and it came out again still medium rare with a cold, blood red center. I sent it back a third time and got it back well done. The staff, actually a different waitress and the manager, were very kind and understanding. My waiter had disappeared but that's okay because I had grown tired of explaining which wine I had ordered and after the 1st recook, noticed him in a different room while I had waited 8 minutes on that recook that should have taken 4. I will say that the 2nd waitress was kind enough to bring my potato back to me on the 2nd and a fresh baked potato on the 3rd. My experience with running a steakhouse myself is that a medium filet should be a thicker cut. This was quite thin and should have cooked through faster. After the 3rd recook and the well done steak came out, I took a bite and found it dry and chewy. I couldn't eat it and asked for a check. The very nice manager came out and asked if she could adjust the ticket for me and did so. $12 off a $37 steak that I ate 4 bites of. Oh well. The salad was good.

My husband challenged me to find somewhere new, and Yelp led us to Fat Boyzzz in Longview, TX. I'll be honest--I'm not usually a soul food fan, so I wasn't especially excited about trying it. But my husband had been craving some good soul food for a while, so we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant had excellent ratings and reviews, but I was still a little skeptical. When we arrived, the place was packed, which is usually a good sign. Thankfully, we were seated right away. Our waitress let us know upfront that there would be about a 30-minute wait for the food. Our first interaction with her was a little rough--she seemed stressed and was somewhat abrupt while taking our order. My husband was initially put off, but he was determined to get his soul food fix. Now, whenever I see grilled liver and onions with brown gravy on a menu, that's what I'm ordering. I'm a Luby's girl through and through, and until today, I would've said nobody does liver and onions better than Luby's. Fat Boyzzz changed my mind. The liver was sliced a little thinner and wasn't quite as tender, but the flavor more than made up for it. Every bite was absolutely delicious. And that's not even the best part. The mashed potatoes and brown gravy were phenomenal--rich, flavorful, and pure comfort food. My husband ordered the fried pork chops with mashed potatoes and cream gravy. The entire meal, all he could talk about was those mashed potatoes. Between bites, he'd keep saying, "These mashed potatoes are AWESOME! This gravy tastes just like my Naw-Naw's gravy!" My husband is a big, burly guy with a deep voice, and hearing him repeatedly praise the food while happily devouring his plate was entertaining all by itself. This was truly food for the soul. We left full, happy, and completely comforted by a fantastic meal. Fat Boyzzz has definitely earned repeat customers in us, and we'll absolutely be back. Highly recommended!

I ordered the fisherman's platter with onion rings, and Mom ordered the fried rice with all the meats. Dad's oysters and onion rings came out first after probably 20 minutes. He was satisfied with both. I'm thinking they probably cooked his as an appetizer, which is why it was brought out first. Prob 15 minutes later (Dad was already finished) mom's fried rice and my fisherman's platter arrived. Portion size was big on both. Mom's fried rice had chicken, shrimp and crawfish in it. She said some seasoning would have kicked it up a notch, but that it was fine. My fisherman's platter was a mixed bag. The fish, shrimp and onion rings were very good and I'd get them again. However, I wasn't a big fan of the crawfish tails, the fried oysters or the crab cake. Something tasted off with them, and I left them there. I deduct a point only because of the slow service. If and when I go back, I'd probably just get the fish and shrimp with onion rings.

First the gas is competitively priced for the area... no out of line pricing or tricks. There are quit a few pumps so even as busy as it was both my wife and I found open pumps. The area is very well lit and clean too. Then you walk inside! On the store side there is a true menagerie of merchandise, snacks, drinks, interesting finds, and just flat of things that normal "quick" stops just don't have. It is easy to spend way more time then you thought you ever would just looking around in here. It is also easy to spend more then you intended once you see all you can get and the odd finds. They also have a Jerky bar... with bunches of selection. The other side offers several sit down or take a way food options as well. Lots of choices for the hungry and needy road warrior. The whole location was clean, well staffed, friendly and just top notch! A GREAT unexpected stop that we will sure stop at again when we are back this way.
