South First Bar & Grill is a local favorite in downtown Lufkin. This fits the local small-town…read moreneighborhood bar to a T with the tables surrounded by all the tvs and a bar area with a stage next to it to boot. The bartenders and servers know all the locals which is evident every time me and my coworkers stop in here for happy hours or for dinner. They still give us the attention we need for drink refills and food orders. For drinks, it's mainly beer although they have hard liquor available here. I always stick with Miller Lite since it's cheap and they bring it out quick. As for food, it's mainly burgers and bar eats. The appetizers such as the wings, chips n queso, fried jalapenos, and pretzel bites w/ beer cheese are our favorites. Meanwhile, they do good burgers here which are a favorite amongst the team. Each day will have food specials such as half priced appetizers and $1 wings. Check the menu out for the full details. It's a great place to watch sports and grab drinks/eats or catch live music if it's available. This is part of our rotation whenever we're in Lufkin.

Great place and great serve! We really enjoy dinning here. The atmosphere is amazing!!!read more

I decided to try Rusty Axe Brewing because of all of the 5 star reviews from the Yelp Reviewers! I…read morewas not disappointed! The waitress was attentive, the restaurant was clean and the food and seltzer beer was good! I shared the BBQ brisket pizza with my husband and also tried their Hard Strawberry Seltzer. The Seltzer beer was very sweet so if you like sweet drinks this may be an option for you!

Brewery # 405 I went…read moreto Rusty Axe while road tripping through Texas. I was pleasantly surprised by the revitalized look of the "Main St. area" of the town that included Rusty Axe. Rusty Axe is much larger than I expected and more of a restaurant feel to it than brewery feel. The restaurant itself is very nice. I sat at the bar and got me a flight and a pizza. I was really looking forward to trying their Dr Pepper BBQ brisket pizza but unfortunately, they were out. I ordered a Margherita instead and it was pretty good. The pizza oven (i believe wood fired) was in full view from the bar. They have about 12 beers on tap and a few seltzers. I got a coconut stout, 2 IPA's and a Kolsch. All of them were good but the Hoosier Hazy was probably my favorite. Cool place, good beer and I would definitely stop in again if I were in the area. I just hope next time they have the brisket pizza!

We will definitely keep coming back as long as it stays this way This trip we had the brie bites with jam a little strange, but it worked. And then we had grilled salmon with Mac and cheese and broccoli with onions, the salmon was well cooked. And the garlic sauce was great. Noodles for the Mac and cheese, very Al. Dente, so not the best my wife had the surf and turf meal. And her medium rare stake was cooked medium well, but she still enjoyed it and ate it all, and the lobster was cooked perfectly. When we walked in, it was pretty busy. So there were a few glasses and dirty plates kind of left all over the place. But they were all quickly cleaned up. By the time we sat down, the mill house is definitely one of the jewels of lufkin, and we love it.

this is the first time i've ever seen something like this! we definitely don't have this out in LA!…read morei remember when i first saw the sign-- i couldn't believe a place like this existed so i dragged my bf to take me. it's just a random little spot with a fat sign and we were very curious. just before it closed, we swung by the drive through and were able to place an order. the man at the drive through had great energy and was able to even recommend a drink. we got two 32 oz of 3 da hard way and fireworks. it came with your choice of regular or spicy chips and they gave us a free thing of soaked gummies-- which were yummy! this brought me back to las vegas walking down the strip with my fat tuesday. the drinks were sweet and delicious and got us good. probably the best thing about Lufkin... will def add this to my itinerary when i visit texas again!

Chain restaurants always get 3 stars from me unless they do something crazy good or crazy bad. I did not have any issues while dining. My server was really attentive. They may have some type of lunch special or overall special/promotion going, so check their website before going. Plan to increase your back accordingly. You can pay your entire bill via a tablet at the table. It's a chain restaurant, people. This is slow fast food!

The beer is always cold and the drinks are made well. The food has been fairly consistent--burgers and sandwiches are cooked well--but the wings can be hit or miss. They're often overcooked and dry. The last time we went, they were cooked perfectly but barely warm. Also, some items can be overly salty, like the fried cauliflower--we couldn't even finish it because of the saltiness. Lately I have found their classic chicken sandwhich and wowee get it deluxe style and you have a winner! It's a big chicken patty fried perfectly and without sauce crispy and tasty! Overall, we still enjoy coming here for the atmosphere, friendly staff, and good crowd. Plus, it's close to the house, which makes it an easy go-to.

Just…read morelooking at the prices they were pretty ridiculous but figured maybe the quantity made up for it, I was very wrong. Ordered fried pickles and 6 boneless wings. Neither even looked appetizing and the my eyes were proved correct by the taste. Apparently it's about 1 dollar for each slice of pickle. The best part was the ranch. Flavor and quality was simply not good, it was extremely over priced, and the quantity did not make up for anything. The service on the hand was actually pretty good, though they weren't busy.
