First time here. Was really hungry for chicken fried steak. This restaurant is in an old…read morerefurbished building off the square in downtown Gatesville. Very antique and vintage decor. We were greeted and immediately I asked Stephanie to tell us what they were known for. She said Chicken Fried Steak Yaa ! And hand battered onion rings.Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. Hubby got full plate and I opted for Chicken fried Sandwich and onion rings. Very flavorful and gravy was definitely homemade. Loved it all. My only remark is that the front entry is kinda dark and could use a ceiling fan. We will be back.

Went back again and the onion rings are great. Chicken fried steak is good and crispy and the…read moreservice is quick. They need a full bar instead of just beer and wine to get the 5 stars. Inside is great and creepy.

OMG! We ate waaaaay too much!!!…read more Came here to celebrate my husband's birthday. There were 7 of us but ordered for 14!! What were we thinking ??? So, all main entrees were quite good: ribs and brisket were incredibly tender, catfish was nice and crisp, chicken fell off the bone, and the chicken fried chicken was delicious. We also ordered the steak fingers as an appetizer. They tasted good but should have been crispier. Had the sampler which consisted of fried pickle spears (highly recommend) fried mushrooms (honestly tasted like they came pre-packaged and corn nuggets (also quite good). Sides were what took this review to a 4 star: Mac and cheese (way too dry), coleslaw (have had better) and the green beans ( too mushy- definitely canned beans) were nothing to brag about. Our waitperson, Barbara, was quite entertaining and I must add that she was quite efficient. She's apparently worked for the owner for 22 years (of and on). The owner was at the restaurant and made it a point to ask if we enjoyed our meals. Nice touch. We ended our experience with their desserts, all made by the co-owner. EVERY.SINGLE.DESSERT.WAS.DELICIOUS.PERIOD! In a nutshell, we enjoyed our Texas sized lunch at J&M Hill Country BBQ.

What has happened to these people? I used to order ribs and brisket and loved it, so I did again…read more The ribs were dry and perhaps overcooked. The brisket was the consistency of oatmeal. Seriously. What happened? New management? New cook? I ordered for delivery. The only thing that went wrong was the food. I'm not going back. I forgot to tell you about the cherry cobbler. It was so tart (sour) that I couldn't eat it. I threw it out after one bite. Horrible!

The chicken fried steak was so over cooked it was crunchy, tough, and no taste! I thought everyone in Texas knew how to make chicken fried steak!

I ordered the three meat combo and the jalapeño cheese sausage was phenomenal. Bad Next: The brisket was mostly dry and not flavorful compared to other bbq places around. The pulled pork was fatty and not in the good way. The sides seemed to be store bought, for example the green beens were definitely canned and the potato salad was store bought and premade. The prices were a bit high for the quality of the food but portions were decent I guess. If I came back it would be to try a burger, but with a price of $17 a piece I will not be back.

Donald Citrano's Coffee Shop Cafe…read more07-12-26 Me and my family had a late lunch here. It's a nice café with friendly staff with a nice size dining room. They were really busy but we only had a 20 minute wait. They have a regular menu with lots to choose from. Traditional Café Menu. We chose the All You Can Buffet. Lots to choose from.

Over in the area for a country drive, did a quick Yelp check for a good Tex-Mex place for lunch…read more More than one review mentioned "locals like it", and we were sold. Plenty of parking, right off the main road, and more room inside than it appears. Waitress was on the job, excellent friendly service, was right there to take drink orders, and checked up on us throughout the meal. They were actually standing there waiting for us to sit with the chips and salsa. Definitely had the look of a local favorite, we were there after the lunch rush, I'm sure it's packed on weekend nights. All the food came out really fast, but was all fresh, tasty, and hit the spot. The menu had tons of variety, will take multiple visits to work through. That Texas staple, sweet tea, was especially good, had a lot of flavour served in large glasses. Would almost be worth stopping in during the summer just for some of the tea! Really nice space for a meal, and very friendly service!

We were in Gatesville for softball and wandered in this little joint…read more It's legit! Four kinds of salsa The verde and Diablo are fantastic but wait, if you mix them they are close to perfection! Such nice sweet waitstaff. They indulged my Spanish and so move to my daughter!

Even though the staff didn't get a heads up about our plans to be here with as many people as we've had, they held their own and served us as fast and as well as they could I appreciate their hustle and patience. They worked fairly well under the pressure despite it being difficult with such a large party. I didn't get the entire staffs names but Michelle took our Order and she was great! I LOVE her name tag and then Crystal, I believe is the one who served us our food and chatted with us for a bit. She was a treat The food on the menu is quite simple. Nothing crazy or fancy and they've got the prices right there by the dish . I can always appreciate when the price is there so that I KNOW what I'm getting into. At my table, we had two orders of the Trash Can Omelet (come with toast or biscuit; grits, hash or choice of potatoes), we had house 'fries' and a Strawberry Waffle. It was all very delicious! I don't think it was that I was hungry but I CLEANED my omelet and toast at the restaurant. I was sat! And I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would absolutely be coming back here again for the good food and amazing service

It's a seat yourself, laid back atmosphere with memorabilia ALL OVER THE PLACE. A Cpl of pools tables, retro games to play, arcade style games. They serve breakfast but not positive on cut off time (didn't see a menu-we came after 3p). We came for the burgers & the fact it was May the Fourth made it a fate kinda day. I recommend you take the time to read thru the entire menu. We started with BB-Ate; great choice to start-thick cheesestix, breaded shrooms & perfectly fried pickles. We decided to split the Princess Buns. A hot glazed Honey Bun holding 2 juicy patties & huge strips of bacon w/ melting American chz (we added Cheddar ) was absolute perfection. It's been a long time for the 1st bite of food to give me the hell yeah happy feels. To the Chef (& creator) Galaxy Burgers will see us again ready to try The Destroyer or maybe The Blaster. So many great sounding items to try! Overall bill w/ 1 sweet tea, an app & the burger &33ish before tip. Vibe: Nostalgic. Fun. Wouldve liked music throughout the restaurant. The staff wasn't as lively as one could hope but I get it (current industry survivor of 20+yrs) they coulda just had a beating from the lunch crowd. Seating open. Booths run along the walls on the walls on both sides with tables in the middle of the 1st room. To the left are the pool tables & games with booth seating. BYOB & Liquor Parking: Along the front of the building, some on the side & some out back.
