    Western Christmas tree!
    Abby S.

    We were traveling through the town of Cross Plains and needed a place to eat. Husband was in the mood for BBQ, so after a quick call to insure the place was open, we chose Bubba's. The employees were very friendly, and the food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Husband got the Cajun Tater, a huge mountain of potato, butter, meat, topped with Bubba's crawfish and shrimp etoufee, and finished with shredded cheese, sour cream and green onions. I would have sworn he couldn't finish that beast, but he found it delicious and not only finished it, but ate the skin! I ordered a Senior plate, and got a serving of sliced brisket, fries, sweet potato casserole and peach cobbler. My opinion: the brisket was average plus, the fries were delicious and fresh, the sweet potato casserole was dry, and the peach cobbler was made from canned peaches, with a seasoned cracker topping, no ice cream. This place was a hit or miss, with the Cajun Tater taking first place and my meal a distant last.

    Simple and cheerful atmosphere, nice and clean!

Completely unexpected just a few miles from Camp Bowie. Reservations recommended. Came with a group and snagged half a dozen seats at the bar. Started with cocktails. Everyone was pleased. Heavy pours. Austin prices. Totally worth it. You know you are in the presence of culinary excellence when the menu is limited to less than a dozen items. Crab cakes. That is all. Order it. Eat it. Move along. Korean fried chicken is the bomb ! Get it. No regrets. As is the wedge. Pick a steak. Order it medium rare. It's truly that good. And, apparently, even if you aren't a fan of mac&chz - you can (and should) get it with seafood, steak, or that f'n delicious Korean fried chicken. Just get it to go and arm wrestle your 9 year old for it tomorrow. Poor kid is going hungry... Exceptional service. Owner is welcoming and awesome. Bar manager is awesome. Ambiance is awesome.

I had the Beef Wellington with Stilton sauce. It was the most tender, perfectly cooked piece of beef I've ever eaten. The mashed potatoes were amazing, as well. Service was extraordinary. Every morsel of food was prepared to perfection. I can't wait to return.

    Perini Ranch Steakhouse is outstanding!…read more The 16-ounce ribeye was excellent. The beef quality was superb--thick-cut, tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned without overpowering its natural flavor. While the edges were cooked slightly beyond medium due to the uneven cut, that's a very minor critique. The grilled asparagus was delicious, and the green chile hominy was absolutely amazing. Overall, I would give Perini Ranch Steakhouse a 98 out of 100. The food, atmosphere, and quality were exceptional, making it one of the best of the steakhouses I've experienced.

    Underwhelmed. For…read moreall the glowing reviews, the food was just ok. My husband and I shared a house salad, burger, and strawberry shortcake. We took the onions and cucumbers off our salad due to dietary issues and that left us with lettuce, mushrooms, and dressing. Our burger was the best part. It was cooked well, and the bun was soft. The strawberry shortcake was disappointing. The fruit was stewed and the biscuits were hard with just room temp heavy cream to offset the temperature of the fruit. For ambiance, it was nothing to write home about. Very busy and very loud, but it was a Saturday evening so that was to be expected. What I didn't expect was the lack of air conditioning in July. It was over 100 degrees that day, and it was cooler outside. Unacceptable for Texas in July when you're seating tables 3' from each other. Our server was good. She was attentive, and kept our water glasses filled. We may try again once the weather cools down.

The restaurant itself is nice, the decoration seems a bit odd but overall matches the atmosphere of the whole place. The restroom is what felt a bit disappointing, it's shared with the restaurant next door which is totally fine, but none of both stalls had functioning paper towel dispensers and both were also kind of messy. For a restaurant that aspires to give this high end image, they really need to work on details like this. 3/5. The food was good, I liked it and I think the portions were good too, however they felt a bit overpriced for what they offered, but that's only a matter of perspective, I guess. Like I said, the flavor was good. 4/5.

    DELICIOUS! I actually heard about this place from a Reddit post about places to stop on a road trip…read moreacross Texas and I'm so glad I listened! It's home cooked food, calories-not-monitored, but worth every single bite. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I knew it was going to be good when we saw the parking lot was overflowing into the grass. Luckily there was still an open table inside and we were welcomed by the sweetest staff and our waitress was just as wonderful. So many things looked good on the menu, but I couldn't resist ending this road trip with another taste of chicken fried steak to compare to Mary's (and they can definitely compete because it was AWESOME)! We also tried the chicken fried chicken (delicious), sweet potato casserole (amazing), Mae's potato casserole (tasty), cheese sticks (good), and the hamburger and fries which was obviously delicious enough that my picky daughter almost finished it - which says a LOT! We were very glad that we'd ordered the "smaller portions" for lunch because it meant we could grab a few of the desserts to go to snack on for our final leg of the road trip and keep enjoying at home. We tried the toffee cake (incredible), peanut butter cake (sinfully good), and the coconut pie (very light and creamy)! We also snagged some items to take home with us from their coolers and I can 100% recommend their pork tamales and summer sausage. If you get the chance to stop here, you won't regret it at all! Delicious, great service, and good portions!

We have tried several different burgers, the chicken fried steak, and the tacos. All have been just wonderful. Tonight, I had the steak fingers with grilled vegetables and steamed broccoli. The steak fingers were absolutely huge, and the grilled vegetables and steamed broccoli were just fantastic. Nothing is better than a steak finger dipped in a big old bowl of white homemade gravy! I was only able to eat half, so there was definitely leftovers. And since I was so full, that means dessert had to be to go. Most places now charge seven or eight dollars for a piece of cake. Here, you can still get a piece of cake for four dollars! Heck of a deal! If you're ever in Eastland Texas, I definitely recommend you give this place a try.
