This was 4 years ago in 2020, the food was very good and the portions were very good as well. The ambiance was nice, a good place for families. :)

Fresh bread rolls
Jude B.

Wow this was by far the best meal I enjoyed on my trip to Texas! Haha I stayed a few days out this way while tending to family death and the worst snow storm to hit Texas 2020. The staff was welcoming and the foos was home cooked and delicious! Lots of young staff waiting tables for the first time and post covid. I ordered the fried catfish, okra, and dressing and gosh the bread and sweet tea. Yes southern eating at its finest ! Great atmosphere very rustic and open dining space. This was even busy in a weekday since not too many good spots to eat at. So be patient with the lines or the table service it's all worth it !

Daily specials as of today 6/16/2024

Good food. Had grilled catfish filets over rice, broccoli with cheese, baby carrots. Service is very good. Food is good. Second time here since staying nearby. Daily specials and full menu available.

Subbed for a salad
Trina W.

This place seemed to stay filled up so that's always a good sign in my book. But even then our wait wasn't very long at all. The food was good and the portions were large. The chicken spaghetti was on point, definitely worth ordering, as were the fried pork chops. The serving of cobbler for dessert was huge! I loved the croutons in the salad, so good! The service was ok not amazing but not horrible.

See all

The Bekery - Cinnamon roll bread pudding

The Bekery

We waited about 30 minutes, and it was well worth it! Definitely recommend getting there early…read moresince their specialty pastries sell out quickly. I was able to snag a ham and cheese pastry which was excellent. Everything tasted fresh and well-made. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, which made the experience even better. The space itself is beautiful...very cottage-inspired with plenty of seating both inside and outside. It's tucked away in a peaceful, secluded area that adds to the charm. Beyond pastries, they also have great drinks and a full breakfast menu. Service was fast and efficient despite how busy it was.

Hoooooleeeeeee mooollleeeeee!!! This place is sure to leave a lasting impression and 100% you will…read morereturn over and over again!! This place is stunning on the inside and also offers outdoor seating. The line was out the door when we got there and for good reason. This was one of the best meals we have had in a while. We started with the bacon & Gruyère quiche which was absolutely delicious and so tasty. I would order this again. The cinnamon roll was (I'm not kidding when I say this) THE BEST CINNAMON ROLL I have ever eaten!! For entrees we order the Souther Smother. So so so good!! The biscuit is fluffy and the gravy is out of this world. We also had the grits & grillades. OMG the meat is so tender, juicy, and packed full of flavor. It país so well with the grits, potatoes, and eggs. We also ordered one of every pastry they had to go!! 10/10 I hope we come back to Lake Charles soon just to eat here again. Trust me just go.

This cafe was so good! It's inside the Fredonia Hotel. I love the mid century mod vibe. It's…read moredefinitely a little pricier, but at least the food quality matches. My mom and I got the shrimp and grits! Chefs kiss! It was amazing! My husband kept trying to steal bites! My husband got the Korean tacos, they were also tasty. He just said a little too greasy. The waitress was very sweet and patient with my hyped up kids. Grandma must have sugared them up before returning the to us!!! we will be back.

I had never even heard of the town of Nacogdoches until two months prior to my arrival. Even now, I…read morefind myself stumbling over the pronunciation. That said, if there's a reason o deviate 3 hours from Houston, dinner at this hotel restaurant might just be it! This place is an absolute hidden gem in perhaps the nicest hotel in town. Waitstaff are all friendly and attentive, and the ambience is clown albeit a little old perhaps. That said, the food is the star (as it should be) of this establishment! So much so that we came here two nights in a row not bothering to try anything else....moreover, I ordered the same thing both nights: shrimp and grits, Caesar salad (extra croutons), and an assortment of dessert. I wouldn't normally talk about a side salad, but boy have I never had a crouton as delicious as the ones that accompany the Caesar. It's not JUST a crouton, but in fact, a warmed cornbread crouton that's absolutely exquisite. Such an unassuming thing as a crouton changed my world! I wasn't raised on Cajun style cuisine, but the shrimp and grits had to have been one of, if not, THE best I've ever had. From the rich, creamy lick-your-plate-and-spoon sauce, the delicious garlic roll, to the generous portion of shrimp....its worth eating two nights in a row. And then some. As for the dessert, I don't quite remember the appropriate name, but we ordered both the bread pudding and flan. Bread pudding was a perfect sweet end to our meal and easily shared with a table of four. The flan was a rather interesting cheesecake consistency that I personally loved, but might not be for everyone. If there's something I'll remember forever about Nacogdoches, it'll be this restaurant!
