My darling Southern Sister brought me back some of their Texas Pecan Pralines, which are made in house daily. Not gonna lie, I'm biased about Pralines and am loyal to Louisiana style. Oh boy, my opinion changed when I tried these. They were soft, creamy, & absolutely delightful. They also weren't overly sweet. I will be placing an online order soon along with some of their other products.

Note, that the corn bread is delicious, it's moist and flavorful. The chili was tasty, no beans with plenty of meat. Added chopped red onions and jalapeños made it savory. We also had the cheeseburger on cornbread and it was also delicious. Had side salads that were basic, but the broccoli salad, which resembles a Cole slaw was excellent. The pies we had were delicious too, key lime, peanut butter pie, and pecan pie. Those we took home because we were full from our entrees.

Early enough we thought to make our 9:00am line up for a run around the lake and pines. Drinks were provided quickly by the cook? Order process took longer than it should. Server had no other speed than first gear. We had to ask another staffer for coffee refills which annoyed her with her fake eyebrows. Still rolling down hill folks! My egg yolks were broken on over easy; bacon not cooked to order as requested. Food sat in the window too long; I almost got up and served our table. Asked for the check to make our start time; that took forever too. 60 percent of the food left on the plates.

They said the picture of the Dr pepper hunger buster directly in front of the customer was incorrect and it always comes on a Texas toast. No I said, they are two different products, hence the two different pictures and names. They finally said well if you request it we can make it that way. That's not how it works, we ordered the Dr pepper hunger buster not the patty melt, it should be made as you order it. If you don't want to sell the hunger buster version take it off the digital sign in front of the customers face. Owner!!! This is for you. You have 2 stars on your restaurant. This is an example of why. You need to either replace the manager or come in and train them properly. This is not ok. Only you can fix it. Or shut it down.

Serenity Ranch is a full scale ranch and restaurant located about 40 minutes away from Longview…read more This place screams "unique experience" long before you set foot on the property. It only has 10 tables, so it is reservations only. Wanting to get on the experience, I made my reservations and set my expectations high. Driving there was a treat with the scenic views. Their signs on the main road outside of the restaurant make it very easy to navigate to the restaurant, even with limited visibility at night. We were immediately greeted by the valet driver and then the General Manager, who seated us promptly. (He visited with us after the meal and checked to make sure everything was up to our liking.) The inside was very intimate. The 10 tables were perfectly spaced to make the ambiance as good as it could get. It felt like you were alone, but not so quiet that it was uncomfortable either. Waters were poured and warm French bread was served. We were off to a great start. The waitress took good care of us overall. Her recommendations were helpful and her demeanor was very pleasant. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese along with the mushroom cap appetizers - both were flawless. For entrees - we ordered the ribeye and halibut. Both were well seasoned and excellently cooked. The fish was flavorful and flaky. The Brussel sprouts that we paired with the entrees were a poor choice. They felt soggy and not the flavor we were wanting. This was the ONLY complaint when it came to food as everything else was cooked to perfection. At a restaurant of this caliber, the small details are what make or break the experience for me. The drink service was very slow and the drinks themselves felt pretty watered down (not strong). It was close to 15-20 minutes between when I had finished my first drink and was asked if I wanted a second one. I asked for blue cheese crumbles with the steak and the waitress never brought or mentioned them. I asked for French fries in place of the scalloped potatoes, and the steak came with the scalloped potatoes instead. When I asked for fries to come out in addition to the steak (thinking the kitchen may have messed up), the waitress sounded like this was the first time I had asked for fries. I would definitely come back. But for the price tag that comes with this place ($375 was tab for 2), I hope the small details are capitalized on next time to secure that 5 star review.
