True Southern Hospitality, from the time we walked in until the time we left,the customer service was great! This place has a little bit of everything. The building sits in the same parking lot as a gas station and between the restaurant and the gas station, there's a western clothing store. I know that sounds weird, but it really works and it's nice to look around while your waiting on your table. The restaurant itself is worth the drive. The menu is full of good southern cooking. They serve breakfast all day and the coffee is great. I had the huevos rancheros and my daughter had the patty melt, both really good. We will definitely be back to eat and maybe pick up a cowboy hat and some boots! YEEHAW LOL! read more

Atmosphere was good, staff was friendly and attentive. The onion rings were huge and pretty good. I ordered a patty melt, and someone there had a sense of humor or the cook has no clue what a patty melt is. What they gave me was a hamburger patty between two slices of marble rye bread with a grilled onion on top. That was it. That's what they served me as a patty melt. I would suggest a little closer supervision of the cook, and the food that leaves the kitchen. That was pretty sad. I pass by there frequently, and thought I'd give it a try. I did, no need to stop by again. read more

Ups and downs is a phrase I find that explains this place. It all depends on the cook. For some reason they can't keep the good ones. You know when they do because then sweet boys loses it's king of chicken fried steak status. When they don't have a good cook you get served chicken fried boot. The other entrees suffer in the same way. If you're going to dine here call ahead and find out if they've been packed three days in a row. If yes then go they got a good cook. read more

Thank you for great service and food! Olivia was a great hostess and cook. she was a one woman wrecking crew. As the Lone Ranger she took orders and prepared the food to perfection. The goodness of the food kept me smiling. again, thank you Olivia read more

If your driving through in the morning, stop here for breakfast! The chorizo and eggs skillet was amazing. Bacon was perfect. All the food was simple, clean breakfast fair that your grandma made. The place was clean and very simple country. Driving through rural Texas, this was exactly what I was after. read more

Had buffalo rib eye. The baked potato and salad were good steak was most disappointing steak I ever paid for in my life tasted like skunk smell spike waitress. She did not have clue made no attempt to give me something better after paying $25.00 was very disappointing read more

I have been in Oregon for two years with no southern cooking except for my own. I am a dyed in the wool Chicken Fried steak fanatic, however Oregon's version of CFS is obscene. They use brown gravy! If you ask for cream gravy they give you white breakfast gravy with sausage (SMH). I am at home visiting my family today and I visited the Armadillo grill. I ordered their CFS and from the very first bite I was in heaven. The breading was crisp and flavorful, the steak was juicy and delicious, and the gravy was thick and perfect (and white) . The sides were yummy, the wait staff were awesome, the decor wonderful and the price point was very reasonable. If you drive past this place, keep driving till you leave Texas because you don't deserve to live in our great state. read more

Great service, awesome food! Had their Bison burger and brisket stuffed jalapeños and were delicious.

Customer service here is horrible. I waited a while at the front, and the workers just passed right by me back-and-forth without saying anything so I left. Good luck. read more

Whoa dude! What the heck is going on here? I've been here many times as I am a truck driver. So it's been a little while since was last here. But imagine my chagrin when was given a totally new drastically paired down menu. Just very basic hum drum boring options. No healthy options of any kind. Service ok. Oh while I'm at it I'll add something I always hated. They certainly don't want you to sit around any longer than necessary as their seats are very uncomfortable. Eat and get the hell out seems to be the attitude. read more

Great service always. Wide variety of country cooking. Never really a poor spot on the menu. Daily specials are featured as well. Sweet tea is good here. A lot of places fall short on their tea but not here. read more

Place is quite charming, seats can be a bit hard for older folks to sit in since there's no cushion, although it's very common to see old cowboys and ranchers there, so maybe it's not too bad lol. Real inconsistent quality, just depends on which chef you get, pancakes are usually great! Burgers range from okay to great, ribs are a no go, fries and onion rings are usually overcooked, so if you like them really crunchy then you'll like these! It could use a good scrubbing, primarily the windows, they clean the tables regularly and i haven't noticed any other issues relating to cleanliness, so that's good. read more

This is our second visit. Once 2 mo ago for a early lunch. Service was good and food was good. This visit....eh‍. Our server, well... sometimes I suppose they have off days. A more mature, blond cute "messy updo" A few tattoos.... Overly passive rude‍,. To add to her rudeness, once food arrived she slid it over to us and walked away, she did not check on us. When leaving she ook my payment and turned around and walked away.... That's to bad! The restaurant was not full of patrons. The restaurant appears to have some locals who & we were from out of town. ‍Food, we ordered one burger no cheese (came out with cheese) we did not feel comfortable to ask her for the burger we ordered with no cheese, & one Texas patty melt, in both the meat cooked awesome. The bread and cheese, must have been left under broiler to long, both dried up. Reminded me of when you forget about the bread in the toaster once it comes out and gets dry. Usually patty melts served with mustard and onions. One extremely large onion(felt like the onion was cut In Half and served in my patty melt, still had the outside skin left on it. I had to go ask for mustard... I ordered a sweet potato instead of fries, came out and was cool. The fries that came with burger were what appeared to be left over fries perhaps dunked back in the oil to reheat. They had a overgreased appearance. Perhaps I'll try to come at opening. The service was kinder and food was much better read more

Unbelievable do not pass Bowie w/o eating at Armadillo Grill... we split the chicken fried steak with a salad & a baked sweet potato.... way to much food & then she talked us into the peach cobbler with vanilla bean icecream.... wow a must stop.... read more

Best breakfast ever! Last leg of a long road trip, so many disappointing breakfasts, then we find this gem. Delicious coffee, perfectly prepared egg over medium, fresh crispy home fries, marbled rye toast and just right crispy bacon. I was disappointed that the last order of biscuits and gravy had just been ordered so I settled, or so I thought, for grits. A bowl of fresh grits to which I added butter and, at the suggestion of our server Jill, brown sugar, ended up being my favorite. Jill was cheerful, accommodating and very efficient. We look forward to seeing her again on our next visit. Armadillo Grill will definitely be a must stop for us on future road trips! Sorry about lack of photos - we were hungry and shamelessly devoured our delicious breakfast with no thought of taking pics. read more

True Southern cooking at its finest. Chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken, Grandma's pot roast? Take your pick. I decided to go with a 6oz sirloin steak with a salad and baked potato. The steak was perfectly cooked with wonderful flavor. Our waitress was absolutely sweet. She checked in often and made sure everything came out as we'd hoped. She offered banana pudding for dessert, but we were all just too stuffed to eat any more. I'll definitely be back. Next time...breakfast! read more

Ah this place in the early morning driving back into Wichita Falls from the DFW area, I have been here twice on my travels and I kid you not, I have not found many places quite like this. The server is friendly, and of course the food. Both times I had a big plate, so big that I nearly couldn't finish the entire meal. The first time I misjudged the homemade cinammon roll, it was gigantic and I needed to take half of it with me on the trip. You'll usually find the locals here in the morning, and they're great to talk to. I love small towns, so I find it great to hear their stories about the going ons of the city. They make you feel welcome and are always checking to make sure you're taken care of. I honestly haven't had a bad experience yet from the folks here. read more

We are in complete shock about how good this was. We expected truck stop environment. The waitress had an amazing sense of humor. Husband and I both ordered steaks and they were cooked to perfection. I got the pinto beans, really great flavor. We will defiantly stop there again. read more

Yet another great find from Yelp! I was traveling back from a sales call and decided to try this place out, I wasn't disappointed! At first glance this was a rundown place, but once you walk inside it looks just like a restaurant that would be in Dallas! I had to try the "Armadillo Toes" because it's their specialty! These are bacon wrapped jalapeno's stuffed with monterey jack cheese. They were great and not over the top spicy. For my entree I tried the chicken fried buffalo steak with fries and cottage cheese. It was excellent and not to greasy. Overall, the service was great and I'm looking forward to driving through Bowie again! read more

Had breakfast here on the way to Winstar Casino on a Saturday morning around 9:00 am. Found a parking spot right away. Although fairly busy, we got seated right away. Our waitress was really nice and friendly. I ordered the huevos rancheros which were awesome and the green salsa it came with had a nice bite to it! The price was reasonable and we'll definitely be back! read more

Not sure what's going on with this place. It used to be one of our favorites but it has really gone downhill. We don't care if we go back. Service has gone way down. The wait time is ridiculous. It's a crap shoot when you go if you will get good food or good service. Enter at your own risk. read more

Found this place on Yelp. Yelp had the directions off by two miles coming from downtown Bowie. Wonderful jalapeño poppers! Grill chicken was tender and not dry. Everything was very tasty. I recommend to anyone.... read more

Incredibly homely food and service! Texas big and family friendly! Quaint location with country decor. Country fried steak has a delicious crispy crust and the gravy is full of peppery flavor! Home chips are fresh and the make-it-your-own omelet is cheezy, juicy and filling, for sure! Chorizo breakfast is seasoned just ready right and comes with homemade flour tortillas. We all left with happy bellies! Plus it's attached to a clean and fancy gas store / clothes shop. Lots of unique souvenirs! Super clean bathrooms, too! So glad we stopped here during our road trip! read more

Simple food cooked perfect. The pancakes are amazing. The chicken fried steak was lightly battered and not to greasy.

Real "corned beef hash!" We've eaten breakfast all over Texas and my husband always orders the hash. It's always canned. This place has the real deal! Really huge, skillet pancakes. The servings are just huge. We've previously eaten at the "cute" place on main street and weren't impressed. We drove farther off our route for this and, boy, are we glad we did!! Super funny and responsive servers, as well! read more

Although the food is very tasty and the prices are good the wait staff leave something to be desired. It depends on who your waiter is. They are all friendly but certain waiters will leave you sitting quite a while before even taking your drink order and then you have to flag them down for refills or even to get your check. We still like to eat there but if our favorite waitress isn't there we plan on our meal taking 20-25 minutes longer. This causes us to choose another restaurant if we are on a time schedule. read more

We were visiting Bowie and some friends took us to The Armadillo Grill. We like to eat at local places like this so we were pretty excited. It is a cute little place right off of Highway 287 and is connected to a western store and gas station. The inside is very similar to a chain steakhouse like Outback or something like that. However, the locals are much friendlier and there is definitely a homey feel inside. The menu contains a wide variety of steaks, chicken, salads and breakfast. The thing that caught my attention was buffalo. I had always heard about buffalo meat but never had an opportunity to try it so I decided to not miss my chance. I ordered the buffalo burger. The meat was fantastic. Very lean and very tasty. I messed up and ordered it pretty plain so it was missing something but that was more my fault, not the restaurants. I should have let them bring it "all the way" just to experience how they normally prepare it. My wife, however, ordered the Country Fried Buffalo Steak. The meat was so tender and there was a noticeable absence of gristle that is found in most country fried steak. I am a huge country fried steak fan, but this buffalo steak blows the regular fried steak away! The breading was full of flavor and nice and flaky. The portion was massive, which I was thankful for since my wife couldn't finish it and I got to eat a lot of it. I highly recommend you try it. We enjoyed it so much that we went back there the next night. We did decide to try something else though. I tried their signature Spicy Green Chile, although I am not sure why it is called that. It was not green and it actually tasted tomato based. It was very spicy and had some great taste so I guess it doesn't matter what they call it. I also had an order of their onion rings. They brought out a large plate overflowing with huge, deep-fried onion rings. They were some of the best I have ever had. Overall this place is great and if we are ever back in Bowie, we will be sure to eat here again. read more
