I'm a big breakfast guy I've driven by here 100 times heading to the airport. Always full of pickups at 5:30, normally a good indicator. I had the opportunity to come mid morning for breakfast Eggs over easy, bacon, grits, and biscuits and gravy. Service was fast friendly and efficient. The eggs were cooked exactly right, the grits perfect. The bacon was not as crispy as I like it, but good. The biscuits were disappointing not fluffy almost like canned. The gravy which can save poor biscuits was probably a mix with not much flavor and no sausage in it. I ate my second biscuit with jelly. I will try again everyone can have an off day read more

Stopped here in April and the food was great! Went again last weekend and the Twister is still delicious! They had a new menu and it said the New Corned Beef Hash, I asked if it was homemade and told yes. Unfortunately it was from a can, disappointed by this read more

Best beef liver. Sorry that Sam passed away but his son now runs it. Staff are always nice.

It worth the weekend drive from Denton! Love the food! Breakfast or lunch! Try staff is great too!

Food was delicious and the staff was efficient and very friendly. We had burgers, club sandwiches with fries, chips and tater tots that were so crunchy and good. read more

It's worth the stop! I was impressed. It's a little rustic, but cozy and very friendly. Staff was friendly and accommodating, if you want to change something on your order, no problem. Scratch kitchen style. I'd give them a 5, but the gravy was country, not sausage. I know, it's petty, but if that's all I have to complain about, it's pretty good, haha. Sorry, no photos, I was hungry. The dog got some bacon, so here she is. Check them out! read more

For Gainesville, going to give this 5 star. Traveling up 35 going to Norman and stopped here after reading yelp reviews. First out your expectations in check! Been here since 1984 and I doubt anything has been changed. Restaurant is somewhat dark/dingy and can look dirty because of age but things are clean. Prices are crazy reasonable! Chicken fried steak, green beans, and mashed potatoes--covered in the most yummy cream gravy--for $10. Not going to find that anywhere else. Hubby and I both cleaned our plates. We enjoy exploring places with character AND good food and this had both. Trucks fill the parking lot and plenty of rancher type working men. We enjoyed the experience and the food. Service was very friendly and attentive. The place definitely could use repairs in areas but it all added to the 'character'. Would come back if passing through Gainesville. read more

Excellent breakfast. Waffles perfect , meat lover's skillet and breakfast were great. Only downside was requested crispy hash browns were barely tan. read more

Stopped by for lunch today. Crowded parking lot, which is always a good sign. Waitresses were friendly, attentive, and very efficient. We had a Gyros and an open beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. Food hot, large portions, and delicious. Total cost for 2 people and drinks was approximately $23. Prices reasonable for portions and food quality. Menu had large variety to choose from. We will eat here again. read more

The staff is amazing. Whether you are sitting down or picking up food... everyone is always so kind. I pick up breakfast orders all the time and nearly every time they ask me if I would like something to drink. The place is always neat and tidy. Amazing breakfast options... and surprisingly enough, the Italian menu (which seems a bit out of place for a breakfast/comfort food joint) is delicious! My favorite/go-to breakfast restaurant in the Gainesville area. read more

The best service in town and their food is so good definitely going back when I'm back in town!!!! read more

Trails Inn Restaurant - The menu and my boyfriend - New American Near Me - Gainesville, Texas

Best place to get a hot plate of home cooked food in Gainesville, TX! The original owner has unfortunately passed on however his son has stepped up and continued the legacy of this community staple. The servers are probably the kindest you will ever meet and the current owner personally goes around with his contagious spirit of charity and personally gives every child a piece of fresh fruit before they leave. This is one of the few places left where the value of a dollar still goes a long way--and for $10 I promise you will get an "all you can eat" portion size. They don't skimp here and you always feel good about what you got. Trails Inn is known as the best breakfast spot in Texoma but they have other great home cooked meals like chicken fried steak, etc too. Most of the negative reviews I've seen come from wanna-be trendy yelp connoisseurs expecting the Ritz Carleton in a rural Texas town. There's a reason it's always so busy you can't hardly find a parking spot when you come here--because everyone around here knows this is a great place to bring your family and feel better when you leave than when you arrived. There's no attempt here at trying to be fancy enough to be pretentious--it's a down home dive that does an admirable job of transforming simple ingredients into a wholesome menu experience. read more

Stopped in on a Yelp recommendation. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend a stop at the Trails Inn if you're in Gainesville. read more

What a breath of fresh air this place was. Awesome customer service and great food as well. I had the meat lovers skillet with over easy eggs, with biscuits and gravy with 3 pancakes. I was really hungry and I was really full after all this, but was worth it. 8/10 About that breath of fresh air, well you will have to go to find out. The owner is awesome and you won't find another with his personality. Stop by and get some great food and freedom. Gotta love this place. Sorry, no pictures, like I said I was really hungry. read more

A small family type restaurant controlled by computers. Guest are not allowed to order except as is printed on the menu. It is required that you order in larger quantities then you desire. For example if you want a piece of toast you must pay for 2 pieces. We have been customers for years but will probably hesitate going back. The concern at the restaurant is the computer not the customer! The wait staff is phenomenal, offers exceptional service read more

Food was very excellent . Service was great. Will definitely come back when we are in the area again. Hidden gem.

Food was really good. Service was good as well. Alittle loud, so if your looking for a quiet atmosphere, probably not a good pick. However people around were just happy people sharing laughter and smiles, so if that's what you need, I highly recommend. If your looking for a homestyle food tasting meal, this is your spot. Tea was really good also. My husband had an omelet and I had the Chicken Fried Steak. Both were really good. read more

My wife and I, stumbled upon this little breakfast gem. We've been multiple times, and the food is always filling, tasty, and fresh. I haven't had a solitary complaint about my food, service, or otherwise. If you like good country home cooked meals, I'd suggest giving this place a try. We have not had an issue. I'd suggest it to anyone who wants a good breakfast at a reasonable price. UPDATE: 7/21/18 Since my review, they've added Italian to their already amazing menu. This is real, rustic, authentic Italian. It's wonderful. The chicken parmigiana is the best. Their Alfredo is to die for. So buttery, so creamy. It's amazing! read more
