    Chicken strips
    Jimmy K.

    I have been coming here since I was a student at SFA in 2005. I'm sad I didn't find this place until I was nearly graduating because it's so good. Easily the best burger in Nacogdoches. I took my wife and daughter on a recent trip and we had a good time. My wife enjoyed her steak fingers. My daughter loved her chicken strips and said they were "so juicy." I absolutely loved the cheeseburger. They haven't changed over the years in a good way. Very consistent with their quality and flavor. Highly recommend.

    One of the hottest spots in town. We were there for parents weekend at SFA and had been told by many different sources that this was a must visit. They were right. Long story short, go over there and have a good time. Food was great and pretty reasonably priced. It gets busy though and one of the downsides of that is trying to find a table as they have somewhat limited number of tables compared to the vast number of people going there. Chicken fingers, Reuben sandwich, hamburger and a pork sandwich made the cut on our table. Portions are large and the prices were reasonable at $15 range for a drink and fries, sandwich combo. I think you can get a little overwhelmed if this is your first time with it being such a large menu and so many people buzzing around, but the folks were friendly and based on all the feedback around us pretty much everything on the menu ranks solidly. My Reubens was a pleasant surprise and worth a try! Despite all the people, place is clean as people tended to clear their own tables to help others out. Welcome to the country, city folks!!!

    Chicken Fried Steak

    Food is delicious. Cute & quaint mom/pop place on a busy road. Plentiful seating even when packed. Food came out quick & decent priced. Plentiful parking as well!

    Patty melt amazing , sweet potato perfect and original baked potato piping hot. So good! Friendly and helpful. Down home setting. Will visit again for sure!

    CFS with okra. Gravy in the back. 4/5
    Lauren M.

    After having horrible, tasteless and dry CFS sandwich and cheeseburgers from a spot in Hot Springs, I decided we needed a redemption meal. We stopped at Butcher Boy's in Nac because it's on the way home (Hou) from where we were and the reviews were fire for both CFS and burgers. They didn't disappoint. CFS (4/5) was tender with crispy and not too thick of breading, could've used more salt but I did that myself. The fried okra (4/5) and potato salad were on point as well. The okra was what you can expect, tasted fresh and just fried with the batter corn meal based but not too well done. The potato salad seemed whipped and yellow with enough mustard but not overpowering. It kinda tasted a little sweet. Cheeseburgers 3.85/5, needed more seasoning but they were juicy and massive. At least 1/3 lbs patty. The sour cream was a nice touch. I'd leave off the mushrooms since it made the bread too soggy. The fries are 6/5. Get the fries!!!!!!!! The fried chicken massive baked potato was a solid 4/5. Definitely a hungry man portion! They gave you enough toppings and they melted the cheese on top. Hurry up and stir as soon as you get it!!! I'd be back for more of this. The sausage was spicy indeed but like some other reviews noted, how they cook it makes it dry but the bbq sauce makes up for it. I'd eat it in a sandwich or with rice. Service and ambiance were 4/5. Friendly and spacious inside. Very Texas bbq. They have Heinz 57 on the table tops. Overall, the place truly redeemed us from disappointing food in HS. Thanks BB!

Makes you feel like you're in a Texas country town for sure! My daughter and I were in Nacogdoches for college visit to SFA and we looked this place up in the hopes that we would find something different than a normal chain stop. It certainly is different and was exactly what you might imagine. Everything on the menu is decently priced and it seems that Tuesday is the place to be with short stack specials for $2 along with the weekday breakfast special at $6.95 On of my daughter's favorite meals is chicken fried steak and what better place to try that than a local diner??? Unfortunately it fell below expectations. The portions were quite large, enough that we could have just split a plate. The idea of sausage gravy on top of the mashed potatos and steak sounds heavy but also potentially fantastic. However both the gravy and the fry were quite under seasoned. I was able to fix mine with some cholula sauce and some salt and pepper was a quick fix as well for my daughter. The side of green beans and carrots she got were actually pretty good so perhaps there was just a disconnect in flavor at the meat station this day. I did very much enjoy the side salad I chose instead of the veggie medley. Came with home-made ranch which brought me back to my East Texas family gatherings with the freshly shaken ranch.....it was great. The portion size was pretty fair value at $13. Like I said we could have just split it between us. Very hit or miss flavors leaves this at a 3-stars for me. But no doubt some of the nicest folks in town work here.
