Brandy is the waitress and you will get the best service ever from her. If you tend to order the same thing a lot she does not forget. She can manage a restaurant full of people and rarely calls for help. Don't worry Kay is there to back her up and together they do not miss a step.
I had the ribeye the last time I was in and it was perfectly cooked and very good. Did I mention if you order a 8 ounce steak it does not look like just 8 ounces to me but much more. I do see some quail on the menu but have not ordered it yet. Some Wednesday's at lunch weee ryHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Stacey L.Frisco, TX322318Jun 13, 2023
First things first. The bad news. Bring your cashola or use their ATM. End of the world? No. But could be annoying to some folks. We stopped by on a short road trip from the DFW area to look at property close by. While looking at the property, my husband commented that one of the selling features was this restaurant. HA! The nice lady that waited on us was great and the food came out crazy fast. And, to say my husband was happy with his meal is an understatement. They do not skimp on the portion sizes and my husband ended up only eating half of the steak and one side. He happily packed it up in our cooler to take home. But, listen to the waitress when she tells you how big the portion sizes are and accept the "to go" container she drops off. The prices are so much cheaper than we experience at home and the place is Texas decor "rustic" but clean. I have some weird food allergies and they were very helpful with checking on ingredients for me, so I sincerely appreciate that extra effort. I could see this being a place we head to when we just feel like getting out for a weekend drive. Still looking for property in the area too!

Great prices on good portions of tasty food. Wish they had beer or wine, but it's absolutely worth it. Quiet setting, friendly people and good steaks for a good price is hard to beat, especially these days

This place was good before they moved next door.
Then they decided they "couldn't get internet"
Even though they had it for a while after they moved to the new place.
I think what is going on is...they want to pocket more money and not pay card fees on the machine.
The steaks are hit or miss.
Went with another couple..we ALL ordered the ribeye steaks.
They all got ribeye. I was clearly brought sirloin..and it was tough and over cooked. It was half as thick..half the size...and you could TELL it was not ribeye.
I still got charged for freaking ribeye.
Another time the service took an hour....that's from the time we sat down to the time we ordered.
We were only 4 people in the place.
Another time...we were a table of 7... hour wait to get to order...only one other full table. Food was ok this time.
We had a friend come in on business...he was going to take people here..he has to use a company card to pay...things like this won't work here. We got up and left. Didn't order or anything.
They lost out of a $300.00 bill...easily by not taking cards.
Many other friends won't go here for this same reason
I can now cook a fantastic steak. No need to go here anymore. Too hit or miss.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ryan H.OK, OK05Aug 3, 2022

The food here was great! We had steak that was cooked perfectly, a little more salt than I like. A little pricey for what you get. THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH! But have an ATM that charges $3.00. There is no Covid 19 precaution in place. My spouse was literally back to back with the person at the next table. Butter and sour cream packets just left on the table for everyone to touch, cough and sneeze on. Then they give you toast that you need to eat with your hands. The staff was adequate at best. If they knew you they stayed at your table and waited on you had and foot. We would of liked dessert, but she just dropped off the check and went back to her friends. So to some this up.
Great food
Cash only
Poor service

First time visit, arrived around 7pm (closes at 8pm), party of 2. Only 1 waitress working 5 tables. She gave us an overview of the top sellers on menu and answered questions, when asked. Did not know it was cash only, until we got there. ATM fee is $3 per transaction.
Husband ordered chicken fried steak. He said he has had better, they could have added a bit more seasonings, would have made it better. Baked potato was large and could have fed 2 people.
I had the 8 oz hamburger with cheese and sweet potato fries. I thought it was good.
Drinks come in large glasses. Straws are not long (or tall) to stick out of glass. You get one free refil, but was never asked if we wanted any.
Was asked once how the food was but no other interaction with waitress until I was getting cash from ATM. She told me about the lunch specials and spoke highly of their ribeye steaks.
No breakfast only lunch and dinner.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sasha D.Spokane, WA1498Jan 9, 2021
Not impressed at all. Ordered the Philly and it wasn't even a Philly. NO peppers, it had 2 huge slices of tomato and lettuce (??? Since when do phillys have tomato and lettuce?!) and it was cold. Cheese also looked like it was sitting out and got dried out. No thanks. Fries were pretty good though. The sodas also had a weird taste to them- I tried 2 different ones (one without ice thinking it was the ice) and they both had the off taste. The salads my family got also looked skimpy and not fresh. Won't be returning any time soon. I didn't feel comfortable eating that cold sandwich.

The best catfish I've ever had and the waitress was amazing. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Can't wait to go back.
