South First Bar & Grill is a local favorite in downtown Lufkin. This fits the local small-town…read moreneighborhood bar to a T with the tables surrounded by all the tvs and a bar area with a stage next to it to boot. The bartenders and servers know all the locals which is evident every time me and my coworkers stop in here for happy hours or for dinner. They still give us the attention we need for drink refills and food orders. For drinks, it's mainly beer although they have hard liquor available here. I always stick with Miller Lite since it's cheap and they bring it out quick. As for food, it's mainly burgers and bar eats. The appetizers such as the wings, chips n queso, fried jalapenos, and pretzel bites w/ beer cheese are our favorites. Meanwhile, they do good burgers here which are a favorite amongst the team. Each day will have food specials such as half priced appetizers and $1 wings. Check the menu out for the full details. It's a great place to watch sports and grab drinks/eats or catch live music if it's available. This is part of our rotation whenever we're in Lufkin.

We will definitely keep coming back as long as it stays this way This trip we had the brie bites with jam a little strange, but it worked. And then we had grilled salmon with Mac and cheese and broccoli with onions, the salmon was well cooked. And the garlic sauce was great. Noodles for the Mac and cheese, very Al. Dente, so not the best my wife had the surf and turf meal. And her medium rare stake was cooked medium well, but she still enjoyed it and ate it all, and the lobster was cooked perfectly. When we walked in, it was pretty busy. So there were a few glasses and dirty plates kind of left all over the place. But they were all quickly cleaned up. By the time we sat down, the mill house is definitely one of the jewels of lufkin, and we love it.

Our waiter knew just the right times to check on us during our meal. I had the lunch menu enchilada dinner, two cheese and one beef. The beef was delicious, nicely seasoned and not salty.

Atmosphere was clean and cozy, nicely decorated. I'm definitely coming back.

My first impression of this place was not a positive one. Two stars only because the Manager and…read morethe Host did their best to resolve what was a mess of a dining experience. The primary issue was the food quality. My brother and I got separate orders of mixed Fajitas. The shrimp turned out fine, good in fact, but the chicken was dry and overcooked and the beef was somehow worse. The beef fajitas specifically charred and inedible. The portion size for the price you pay was a tad high. Mixed Fajitas (chicken and beef) for one at other restaurants give you more than two slices of each meat. The fajita plate doesn't include cheese or sour cream; if you enjoy that it's extra. Just before the food came out, a sopping wet ceiling tile and blown-in insulation fell from the ceiling. Pieces of insulation made it into nearby tables (including ours) and into drinks. The mess was quickly resolved. Mess cleaned up. Drinks replaced. Tables wiped down. But the AC had to be turned off because the line continued to leak over the bar. This was an accident and doesn't reflect poorly on the service, but it added to the overall first impression being less than ideal. There were several miscommunications with the waiter. He got two of our orders wrong. The manager had to come over and solve one because he didn't understand the request to substitute yellow American cheese for white Monterey Jack cheese. The manager resolved this and the enchiladas were very good after it was corrected. My SIL ordered a queso flameado with chicken, but the waiter brought out one with beef instead. The beef on this dish was also incredibly dry and inedible.. Even after pointing out the mistake and fixing it with the correct order the waiter charged for the beef. Upon trying to get the bill corrected, the waiter didn't give the correct cash back and the Host had to resolve the issue. Overall impression: not a place I'll return to anytime soon.

It was so bad, it was thicken than a flour tortilla and as soft as one. Then there is the "steak " which was bland and cardboard like. I have the feeling that this particular menu items is not freshly made; it has to be a frozen one and just warmed up. The fried mushrooms were good, but a little seasoning in the flour would help boost the flavor. Man n cheese was ok, onion rings were blah. The water was very refreshing.

The caprese was excellent, the charcuterie board had a great selection of meats, cheeses, bread, and accompaniments, and the blistered peppers were a perfect addition.

Kaylyn was our server and did an outstanding job--friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. We also had the opportunity to meet Liana, the manager, who was incredibly welcoming and clearly takes pride in making sure guests have a great experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, making it the perfect place to order several things for the table, take your time, and enjoy the evening. We finished with the gelato cups, which were a fun way to end the night. Great food, great drinks, and exceptional service. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend Aperitivo's, and be sure to ask for Kaylyn!
