    Shrimp
    Susan M.

    Ate there tonight trying again. Disappointed again. The food does not appear to be homemade but institutional bought and just prepared. Jalapeño poppers are just like the ones I buy frozen from the store. Ranch dressing had no flavor. It was either a very bad brand or extra May added to it. They were served on top of a few French fries that were soggy. We ordered an extra side of hush puppies and they were almost black As were the ones that came with our meal. When we cut one open it was still gooey inside. The comment made to us is "we cook them like that to get the inside done." Shrimp was battered strangely -hard to tell what was the head or tail and had no flavor. Catfish was barely cooked on the verge of being raw. Fries were cold and soggy. Before tip this was $47 and so not worth it. Not trying again. We are done.

    Great service today, everything was clean in the restaurant and our food came out fresh and hot. The catfish is not the best I have ever had, but it was good for a quick lunch and was cooked just right. I come for the chicken spaghetti which is something that's hard to find anymore. So good! The majority of their food is fried...would love to see less fried options on the menu, like blackened or grilled catfish options. My husband got the seafood platter and the fried shrimp was tiny and looked like it was from a freezer bag. Not much flavor. The salad is very generic and could stand a good washing before storing in a nice cold fridge so it wouldn't be 'dry' limpy looking lettuce. They were out of blue cheese dressing as well. The fried pickle spears are the best thing on the menu...and the pie.

    Wail, I'll be!! Super glad we stopped in at this gem in the country! Drove up from DFW to check out the lake areas and stopped here when we got a bit hangry. Well worth the stop! I don't like catfish at. all. But hubby does so I humor him occasionally. This place had great catfish! Fresh, fried perfectly. And tons of pies! Will be back!

    THIS IS A HUGE RAVE TO BABE'S CHICKEN HOUSE IN GRANBURY!…read more On Sunday, March 29, my wife and I went to Babe's Chicken House in Granbury. We were met immediately and seated promptly. Our server was a young lady named Lauren. More on Lauren shortly. This was not our first trip to Babe's Chicken House. But it had been a while, definitely too long, since we were here when we came years ago, we would usually order a chicken each. Now we are in our golden years and we can't eat that much, so we split one. But it was just as delicious as it has been each previous time! The Chicken was fried too absolutely perfection! The golden brown skin was seasoned perfectly and was very crunchy, just the way we like it. And the meat was hot and fork tender, Oh, I still prefer to use My fingers. The sides of green beans, corn, and mashed potatoes and gravy were off the hook! I'm not sure how they cook that corn, but they can come over to my house and cook it anytime! We both drank a sweet tea with lemon, very, very cold and lots of ice! About Lauren: Lauren is a local young lady who has a constant smile on her face. I never saw her not smiling while we were here. I watched her as she engaged in conversation with many people, both employees and customers, and she was an extremely pleasant young woman. But to my wife and I, she was an absolute, unfettered joy! She kept our tea glasses filled, and Make sure that we had plenty of potatoes and gravy, corn, and green beans. She did all of this as well as tending to her other customers I think that she is one of those young ladies who is so personable that she has the gift of making everyone feel as though they are the most important customer to her. I know that is the way that we felt. My wife had ordered some vegetables to go, And had mentioned this to Lauren when we ordered our chicken. We were nearly finished with a meal when Lauren arrived at the perfect time with the "to go order." She remembered when many such servers in the past at other venues Have forgotten. I need to address one other thing that I frequently hear people complain about. Yes, babes does serve instant potatoes. When you feed as many people in a day and in a week or over a holiday weekend, as they do, something has got to give. And by the way, those instant potatoes are absolutely delicious! I don't know what they do to them, but they are incredible! So if that's your own gripe, find something else to gripe about and instead insert some positivity into your review! This was the most pleasant dining experience that I've had in years and it was because the food was good and Lauren's service to my wife and I was even better! The only suggestion would be that Lauren gets paid more! She's clearly not being paid enough! As for Babe's Chicken dinner house, we will be back! Thank you all so much! And you take good care of our Lauren, because we want her the next time we come! All of y'all who read this review and then go to babes, be sure that you ASK FOR LAUREN! SHE'S A ROCKSTAR!

The hamburgers? Frozen meat patties that tasted like they'd been excavated from the back of a 2019 freezer. My fish and chips came with fish that smelled like it had been on a week-long bender in a dumpster behind the pier. And the lobster ravioli? Let's just say the only thing "lobster" about it was the price tag. The pasta was sad, the filling was suspicious, and the whole thing felt like a culinary war crime. But hey, at least the ambience is great! Beautiful lighting, nice decor, perfect for pretending you're having a fancy night out... while quietly plotting your escape to literally any other restaurant. Oh, and don't worry about the shortcuts -- when they're done disappointing your taste buds, they'll hit you with a credit card fee for the privilege. Nothing says "we care about your experience" like charging you extra to leave poorer and hungrier than when you arrived. Save your money, your dignity, and your stomach. Go somewhere else to eat. Anywhere else. Even a gas station hot dog would've been an upgrade.

For dinner we had the fried chicken, southern greens, and hop john rice. The chicken is one of the best. I can't think of one better.

The Hop John rice paired well with the chicken. This place is special.

This place is truly something special, from the gracious hospitality to the incredible menu. The menu delivers elevated Southern comfort food that somehow manages to feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. I've worked my way through almost the entire menu over multiple visits, and I can honestly say that everything is incredible. Every time I take someone new there, I tell them that there hasn't been one dish that I've ever thought "meh" about. Every dish is so flavorful and outstanding. That said, I absolutely have my go-to order: the cornbread (a must), the southern greens, and the fried chicken. The cornbread is almost like a melt in your mouth dessert, that I happily start every visit with. The greens are packed with rich, savory flavor, and I'm not kidding when I say that every time I have them, I literally dream about them for weeks after. And the duck fat fried chicken? Crispy, juicy, and hands-down some of the best I've ever had. Beyond the food, the whole experience just feels thoughtful, from the quality of ingredients to the execution of every dish. You can tell there's real intention behind everything coming out of the kitchen. If you're anywhere near Farmers Branch, this spot is worth going out of your way for. And if it's your first visit--trust me, get the cornbread, southern greens, and fried chicken. You'll be dreaming about it later.
