We also got a Ruben sandwich, called the Grissom after the local boy turned astronaut, and the sandwich was filled with home made corned beef, and was awesome. The place was full of families Sunday noon, everyone enjoying themselves, and no matter how crowded, the service remained quick prompt & friendly. 5/5. Highly recommend.

My lovely wife had their Chicken and Noodles with green beans. Both were exceptionally cooked and plenty on the plate. The place is very clean with TONS of railroad memorabilia all over the walls. There was one picture of a hometown resident maybe not as memorable as the towns most memorable resident Gus Grissom he is Sam Bass. A train robber bank robber who was gunned down by Texas Rangers in my hometown of Round Rock, Texas. We even had a street named after him. Imagine that! So, if you're around these parts you have to stop you won't be disappointed.

Although they weren't real busy, we didn't have to wait for anything, refills were delivered before we ran out, condiments were brought to the table immediately after being requested, and when we finished we weren't left waiting for our check so we could head out. The restaurant was decorated with historical signage from Bedford that was very enjoyable to view, and the cashier was located in a small gift shop.

This is a good thing as I think they're able to really focus on and dial in on what they do. The inside is decorated with lots of bits of Americana and old timey gas station signs and the like. There are many many aprons hung around the place as decoration as well. Right as you walk in there's a big WALL OF MUGS and you grab a coffee mug off of there to bring to the table if you'll be having coffee. They are all different and a majority of them today were Christmas themed as today is Christmas Eve. They do a good job of keeping your coffee cup topped off. I ordered biscuits and gravy, 2 eggs over easy, and sourdough toast. Everything was very good and the gravy was nicely seasoned which is often lacking at restaurants (IMHO).

It had been a highlight for him. And all in all, I'm so glad we listened to him. My family was able to find a good brunch. We got a table without a wait -- a bit of a surprise considering how much of a wait other resort restaurants can have. And this buffet had lots of what you would expect: bacon, eggs, pastries, cereal, yogurt, fruit, drinks and made-to-order omelets and waffles. Also, I think I saw this mentioned in another review -- get the chocolate milk! I'm not sure what was special about it, but I had had like three glasses of it. It was cold and sweet and just perfect. Our server also kept the coffee flowing -- much appreciated! Especially if you have a family who has lots of opinions over what they want to eat for breakfast, this is a great option to have.

We ordered pulled pork, brisket, chicken and Mac and cheese as a side for carry out. All were great! Meats were tender and moist with plenty of smoke. You could cut the brisket with a fork! We had sauces, but personally, there was enough flavor in the meats that the sauces weren't necessary. The Mac and cheese was cheeezzzzyy. Our daughter-in-law pretty much claimed the m&c for herself once everyone had a sampling. Hours are 9-5, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Call ahead and they can have a lunch ready for pickup. We ordered by the pound for an evening family meal. Call the day before or day of and pick up at your convenience. Not the Peg Leg Porker, but close enough that I don't have to drive to Nashville, TN for a good bbq sandwich.

It was a hidden gem. I was so excited. The setting was plain, simple, and homely. I'm sure the celebrity's sister was nice to be part of. This Synchronicity has happened to me my whole life. I once met James Garner and Rock Hudson the same week in 1969, 2000 miles apart. The price was the best part. I could not figure out how they did it, given the quality of the food and the nice people. I was in Heaven for my final hour in French Lick Paradise. Thanks to the verything thing they served. read more

Was greeted promptly and warmly near the end of their serving time. After asking if they were closing, we were told they were just cleaning up from the rush and we were welcome to have a seat anywhere. The waitress arrived promptly at our table and patiently answered our menu questions and gave recommendations. This was a testament to her kindness and warmth as she could've easily been eager to end her shift and leave as it was 25 minutes prior to closing for the day. When ask about the special of the day, she provided an honest response, which was appreciated. Her recommendation of the fish was spot on. It tasted fresh and was prepared nicely. She checked on us multiple times and never seem rushed or hurried. The cook later came out after the closing sign was turned on and chatted with us. It was like we were local residence warmly welcomed on a routine visit. Enough can't be said about their staff - like Mayberry. Though the menu isn't broad, it is sufficient and has a variety of choices. A daily special, even on the weekend is a nice addition. The interior is small and definitely not modern with needed upgrades. This is the only negative of my visit. It is a diner, with few booths and few tables. The food is good and the service is outstanding. All places could learn from these servers how to treat people. Kudos to all of you.

Well, partner, you best steer your boots toward Smokin' Hawgs. Nestled in the old Main Street Pizza building, this joint might still be a work in progress, but it's already staking its claim as a local treasure. The inside seating might be on the cozy side, but don't let that fool you--there's ample room for comfort. And soon, a new patio with a gazebo will grace the front and side, offering a prime view of the creek that meanders beside it. While you're relaxin' and enjoyin' your meal, you'll also have a perfect view of the century-old courthouse in the town square, a grand piece of history that adds to the charm of this small town. Imagine sittin' under the gazebo, the sun setting over the horizon, and the gentle murmur of the creek as you savor every bite. That's the kind of experience Smokin' Hawgs is fixing' to offer. Now, let me tell y'all about the man behind the magic--Daryel. He's a dedicated chef and a fellow Masonic brother, rising with the rooster each morning to prepare the day's meats and sides. Every dish is crafted with pure love and passion, and it shows in every mouthful. **What we tried:** - **Brat Slider:** I took a bite, and it was like striking gold. Each morsel was a burst of flavor that had me wanting more. - **Pulled Pork Sandwich:** My wife saddled up to this dish, and let me tell ya, she's a tough critic. But this time, she cleaned her plate, leaving nary a crumb behind, except the bread. The pulled pork was plentiful, the baked beans were rich and savory, and the scalloped potatoes were creamy and delightful. - **4 Rib Meal:** My daughter chose this, and those ribs were tender as a gentle breeze, falling right off the bone. I had a taste of the beans--lip-smacking good, I tell ya. The ribs were seasoned to perfection, and each bite was a journey through flavor town. Daryel's signature sauces are the perfect sidekick to the star of the show--the meat. Each sauce complemented the flavors beautifully, adding a delightful kick that lingered on the taste buds. So, whether you're a local lookin' for your next favorite spot or just a traveler passing through, Smokin' Hawgs is worth every mile of the journey. With Daryel's dedication and the rustic charm of the place, you're in for a meal that's as memorable as a Western sunset. Giddy up and head on over to Smokin' Hawgs, where every meal is a culinary adventure crafted with heart and soul, all while takin' in the sights of the historic town square and its venerable courthouse.
