Longtime customer, first time to review.... I eat breakfast here 2 to 3 times per week. Why?…read more Because they serve the best pancakes I have ever eaten. Not only are they fluffy, they are also HUGE! I have never been able to finish 2 of them in one sitting. Hands down best pancakes on Earth! So large that I am not hungry again until dinner. The staff is very attentive and always on point and delivers service with a smile. The building is old but always clean and reminds me of a dive bar. If you want a great breakfast try the 2-2-2 (The 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 pancakes). If you want a great dining experience at a good price, This is the place! If fact, I am on my way there now!

His grits he said tasted like from a mix. Like you buy in the grocery store. His biscuits were very dense and the gravy again tasted like a mix, very bland and pasty tasting. Server could have been a little more attentive and pleasant. Because she sure as heck wasn't. We had another server walk by with her hands full of dirty plates but she stopped smiled and asked if we needed anything. Save yourself!

The service was excellent and with a smile. I definitely recommend this place for breakfast. To date, this place is a normal sit down with full service.

They have coffee crafts, and you can get as much as you want the service as noted as partially self service so it was decent. It kind of has a low-key country vibe mixed with a Joanna Gaines kind of vibe. Overall, I would say it's a decent place for breakfast for White Oak.

I always find it disappointing when I begin writing a review for a small town diner such as Circle…read moreCafe and find that another gypsy soul has beat me to it! I mean, I purposely go out of my way on road trips to eat at these fine establishments... let me be first! Anyway, I rolled in early one Saturday morning on my way back into the promised land, also known as Texas. The joint was poppin' with construction workers, retired folk, and the good ol' locals of Kilgore. That is why I love coming to these home-grown joints; everyone knows everyone. Believe me; I do my best to look like local when eating. My local alias was blown when I asked "what are Western hash browns." Luckily, my server did not show any sort of "you are not a local" attitude! That is certainly because this little diner truly does spit out southern hospitality on all cylinders. The order of Western hash browns offered an enormous plate of shredded, griddled potatoes, COVERED in a layering of cheese, with onions, tomato, and bell pepper interspersed within the finely sliced tubers. The damage? A whopping... $2.50. Welcome to Texas. The biscuit and gravy, at ~$2, was a fantastic addition. The sausage at the bottom was not mixed into the gravy, unfortunately, but at least the sausage was meaty, and the gravy was spot-on. Together, they made a sloppy, but delicious accompaniment to my starchy Southern staple. The final verdict? $5. Thus, 5 stars. I don't know in what earthly circumstance you would find yourself in Kilgore, TX, but I would certainly extend a recommendation of Circle Cafe to you. Even if you are not in the boondocks of East Texas... But, if you want to make a drive to eat at a small town diner, I would not look past Circle Cafe!

I want to pick some up to go next time!!! Not sure if they allow it or not but ill try! It was spicy and reminded me mostly of chili but it was sweet and addictive. I got the cheeseburger. It was massive. It could've used more seasoning, salt etc. But the meat was of good quality. My husband got the blue cheese burger seasoned with cajun spice which gave it some added salt and made his burger so much better than mine. Overall, if in town, this place is a must. We'll be back!

My husband challenged me to find somewhere new, and Yelp led us to Fat Boyzzz in Longview, TX. I'll be honest--I'm not usually a soul food fan, so I wasn't especially excited about trying it. But my husband had been craving some good soul food for a while, so we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant had excellent ratings and reviews, but I was still a little skeptical. When we arrived, the place was packed, which is usually a good sign. Thankfully, we were seated right away. Our waitress let us know upfront that there would be about a 30-minute wait for the food. Our first interaction with her was a little rough--she seemed stressed and was somewhat abrupt while taking our order. My husband was initially put off, but he was determined to get his soul food fix. Now, whenever I see grilled liver and onions with brown gravy on a menu, that's what I'm ordering. I'm a Luby's girl through and through, and until today, I would've said nobody does liver and onions better than Luby's. Fat Boyzzz changed my mind. The liver was sliced a little thinner and wasn't quite as tender, but the flavor more than made up for it. Every bite was absolutely delicious. And that's not even the best part. The mashed potatoes and brown gravy were phenomenal--rich, flavorful, and pure comfort food. My husband ordered the fried pork chops with mashed potatoes and cream gravy. The entire meal, all he could talk about was those mashed potatoes. Between bites, he'd keep saying, "These mashed potatoes are AWESOME! This gravy tastes just like my Naw-Naw's gravy!" My husband is a big, burly guy with a deep voice, and hearing him repeatedly praise the food while happily devouring his plate was entertaining all by itself. This was truly food for the soul. We left full, happy, and completely comforted by a fantastic meal. Fat Boyzzz has definitely earned repeat customers in us, and we'll absolutely be back. Highly recommended!
