Cole Mountain Restaurant & Catering - Grilled chicken - Caterers Near Me

Four Stars... Five Stars... It really depends on one's perspective. In this case, I am giving this restaurant five stars because I am NOT comparing it to the more "refined" eating establishments in big cities like Dallas. That said, the food quality was very, VERY good! If you're okay with rustic and peculiar - solely a reference to the decor and ambiance of this place, you WILL NOT be disappointed! It's simple, "down home cookin'" and friendly service at its finest. The salads were plentiful and fresh. The chicken fried steak was the perfect size and was cooked perfectly! The white cream gravy was tasty enough to drink and the (homemade) mashed potatoes were delicious! We were a party of four and everyone in our party echoed the above sentiments! We were all so full that we sadly skipped dessert. Although, I did ask about the peach cobbler and was told it was not homemade. Restrooms were clean and stocked. Eat well. Be well. Cheers! read more

I went out on a limb and ventured out from or normally places we eat and after asking a guy he suggested this place I'm not sure why I ordered the ribs and cowboy chicken with coleslaw and there house made beans ,the ribs were way over cooked tough hard to cut with a knife even I did eat it though cause I ordered it the chicken wasn't much better , coleslaw was good ,beans were ok not anything outstanding ,the bread pudding was fair though overall service was great food quality was very very poor I would not recommend My wife's potatoes tasted like instant mashed potatoes and chicken fried steak was ok but nothing to ride home about Overall I think I'd pass if in area unless I'm starving and that never happens Hopefully they improve read more

Im a native dallasite that took my mom to Terrel to get some clothes at a place she likes. Id been thru Terrel many times as a kid but not for years. So, i wanted to find a good place to eat that would leave me glad id come to Terrel. This is the place. After walking in the front door of a place down the street, i turned around and drove back here. We werent disappointed. I got the chicken fried steak and it didnt disappoint. Another of our party got the brisket which needs work. The ribs got a good report. I wouldnt hesitate to stop here when in the area. However, i do think the owners need to ride herd again for awhile to bring it up a notch or two where no doubt it used to be a few years ago. Also they were short on waitresses and hopefully this oversight wont repeat often. It really takes away from the experience. All in all go if you are in the area but dont make a special trip. read more

I occasionally find myself and my family (we come here to visit my mom several times a year) with the same quandry that everyone who either lives in Terrell or who is just passing through probably has - as in - 'Where the heck do you eat in this town?' Dining wise, Terrell is a challenge. It is littered with chains and 3 star Mom and Pop outfits - but is best known for being a place where nice/new restaurants go to die. Litterally. It is the same story - year after year. One night in November 2014 - after pondering ALL the dining choices in Terrell - my Mom finally decided on Cole Mountain. For me, I was skeptical. My skepticism was based on the fact that (O.K., it was probably 15 years ago) my last visit was a solid two stars. The good news for TODAY is - our 2nd trip here was decidedly better than the first. We were promptly seated with a table for seven and given menus and drinks. Service started out good on a busy Saturday night - which was a good sign. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich which was good. My son (13) had the hamburger (which was ordered and delivered as medium rare) and fries - both of which he liked as well. My older brother had the chicken-fried steak and cowboy beans. The steak was very large (as big as his plate) and beans were fine - he was happy with both. My sister ordered the rack of BBQ ribs and liked them as well. All in all, this visit was a good experience for our large group = good food, solid/pleasant service, building had a historical ambiance (clean, not musty), and prices were reasonable. Cole Mountain is worth checking out on your stop through Terrell. read more

What a gem! This local eatery has all of the rustic charm that you would expect from a small town Main Street restaurant. The chicken fried steak was excellent, and the baked potato had just the right amount of topping so that you weren't left with a dry spud after two bites. Service was great as well. I highly recommend Cole Mountain. read more

This was my first time going here and i would definitely go back. Loved the cozy atmosphere and that you can get something off the kid's menu for just 2 bucks more! The burger was still huge and juicy and the fried okra was awesome!!! Great bloomin' onion too! read more

Been three times now both times the food was good-- The taste of the steaks and sides are great, large selection of sides great old building but the service needs a lot of work, no seating when you come in no one to meet you with no indication of if you are to wait or seat yourself---waited for 7 min at table before anybody toke our drink order still no menu---sign outside said best prime rib in town was good and tender but no flavor at all---I will try again but will order a steak but very over priced for what you get. If disabled I did not see any way for you get in this place--don't see how they get away with this in this day and age. I want to like this place but needs alot of work to improve rating. read more

Cole Mountain Restaurant & Catering - Prime Rib was tender but no taste. - Caterers Near Me

We came in just after lunch time and were seated quickly. I thought they were closed for a second because upon entry to have to keep walking through to find a waitress. Appears to be a very old place with a bunch of interesting decor to look at on the walls. My food was good(chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and fried okra). They were out of Bits and pieces (I think we all wanted that ). Friends had pot roast and hamburger steak and they said it was ok. So get the chicken fried steak. The establishment appeared clean and so were the restrooms. Waitstaff was pleasant and attentive. read more

Really great food and atmosphere! BYOB too! Service was great! Perfect little hole in the wall discovery from some folks in town for a concert!!! Thank you!! read more

Nice little gem!!! Best hamburger steak I have had in a very long time. The guy next to me had a very nice looking ribeye steak. Also FYI. it is BYOB. read more

Great food. Chicken fried steaks were big and semi tender and breading was still attached to steak which is impressive these days and ribeye was a little on the thin side but was the juiciest I ever seen and very tasty. read more

Are going with a 4 1/2 stars One of us had the Cole Mountain Chicken very moist - potatoes were ok. Prime Rib was great! Ribeye was cooked to perfection with tons of flavor. The sliced beef with sausage was very good. The vegetables were huge servings. The blackberry cobbler was AMAZING!!!!!! read more

We've been here tons over the last 10 years and I'm sad to report that the quality has really gone down over the last year. This used to be the beat steakhouse in the county, rivaling places like Roadhouse or Saltgrass...not any more. The quality of meat they're using now are the much cheaper cuts and very obvious. In our last 2 visits (4 of us each time) 2 plates were undercooked and 2 were overcooked. Even little things like their plates and silverware are cheap. Plates are probably clean, but they have several knife marks in them like they're long overdue for replacement. None of the silverware at our table matched, cheap bent forks, etc....reminded me of a school cafeteria. If their prices were cut in half, it'd be a decent value. read more

First time I have been here, this will be the last. I am not kidding, there was a hair in my chicken fried steak, I noticed it right off. We told the waiter and he seen it and he said sorry, I will get you another, I told him, "Don't worry about it, I am not eating here now." I never talked to a manager, one never showed up or anything. I guess it happens all the time here. Forget it, its my last time here. Gross read more

Excellent here today's lunch with DG, RobJ. I had large med-rare ribeye, baked potato, with pecan cobbler for app. Everything was excellent. Rob had shrimp. Don had same as me. Everything was just right. I really liked the pecan cobbler and ice cream. read more

Cole Mountain Restaurant & Catering - steak and bread - Caterers Near Me

Dark and cramped. Taxidermy fixtures are falling apart. Used to be a great place before changing owners.

The hubs picked this one out and he gets a gold star. Ribeye and mesquite grilled chicken were both perfectly cooked. We had the standard salad and baked potato with it, both were yummy. Good ranch dressing too. We wanted to try the bread pudding for dessert, but just too full. Recommend. read more

This location I just found out was located in Rockwall years ago and I hope I'm mot wrong. Remember clearly the food was very good. One of my favorites was the cowboy potatoes. Time for another visit! read more

Ich if that is a word. Server was really nice but for this to be the "best" steakhouse in town I had to try it. To bad I did not know it was the "only" steakhouse in town. My friends $20+ dollar 12 oz ribeye was paper thin which is ridiculous. The chicken fried steak as okay but the gravy seemed packaged and no mushrooms? I would say all appetizers are prepackaged frozen - the only thing you get plenty of? Cigarette smoke! I thought I would need a lung xray by the time I left - clothes stunk a day later. I would avoid this restaurant and I never rank restaurants this low...so literally this one stunk. read more

We went expecting a steakhouse, this restaurant used to be Culpeppers. The parking lot, exterior and interior are all in need of a good cleaning and repair. When you walk in there is no clear direction or hostess stand, The staff all had on T-shirts advertising other restaurants. The food didn't fare much better, very diner-y. The burger was a preformed frozen patty like from Sam's with frozen french fries. My husband is allergic to soy which is used as a filler in ground meat a lot, think school burgers, we didn't expect to have to worry about that at a steak place, but yep said preformed patty was a soy bomb. The grilled chicken salad was decent, just chicken and plain iceburg with dressing, absolutely nothing special. The chicken fried steak was huge but bland. I was really glad we hadn't splurged and ordered steak, the quality of everything was just really low. Overall if you go in with low expectations you won't be disappointed, but if you go in expecting a Texas steakhouse meal, well just go somewhere else. read more
