2/5 stars -- Pit Row Pit Stop in Livingston…read more Came by Pit Row Pit Stop today after seeing good reviews online. Was craving some real home cooking and chicken fried steak is one of my all-time favorites, so I was excited to see it on the menu. Arrival/Service: Very friendly at the door and got us seated quick. Restaurant was pretty empty except for one big table of 12 on the other side. Waitress took our order right away, but somehow it still took about 45 minutes to get our food. Chicken Fried Steak: The steak itself seemed homemade and was decent -- I'd give it a 6/10. The gravy killed it though. Tasted like premade flour mix with zero flavor. Some sausage or seasoning would've made it actually taste homestyle. Mashed Potatoes: Absolutely disgusting. I don't know what they did to them, but I've never tasted anything like it. Had to push them away. Green Beans: Tasted like they sat in a steam table overnight and were mushy. The bacon in them wasn't good at all. Burger: Fair. Nothing bad, nothing great. Bottom line: I came for home cooking and left disappointed. If you're gonna call yourself a homestyle diner, the basics like gravy and mashed potatoes have to deliver. Unfortunately this place didn't.

Rusty Axe is much larger than I expected and more of a restaurant feel to it than brewery feel. The restaurant itself is very nice. I sat at the bar and got me a flight and a pizza. I was really looking forward to trying their Dr Pepper BBQ brisket pizza but unfortunately, they were out. I ordered a Margherita instead and it was pretty good. The pizza oven (i believe wood fired) was in full view from the bar. They have about 12 beers on tap and a few seltzers. I got a coconut stout, 2 IPA's and a Kolsch. All of them were good but the Hoosier Hazy was probably my favorite. Cool place, good beer and I would definitely stop in again if I were in the area. I just hope next time they have the brisket pizza!

My wife and I came to try…read moresomething new because we'd heard that their fried green tomatoes were good, they are fantastic by the way, but we had no idea it was a catfish place. My wife is not big on catfish, she got burnt out on it after working cafe's for years; anyways we gave it a go. Now the menu can be a little pricey but they have lunch specials and poboys so it's offset that way so don't be discouraged. We got the appetizers sampler with fried green tomatoes and mushrooms and they were fantastic the tomatoes were great, not greasy still firm and delicious. The catfish is large filets, lightly battered, excellently seasoned, cooked perfectly not greasy nice and flaky. This is the best catfish I've had in the Nacogdoches Lufkin area for some time now y'all. They make their own tarter sauce and it's really good. The shrimp are huge, delicious and their cocktail sauce has a nice zing of horseradish. They have delicious crab cakes you have got to try, the flavor is amazing a nice buttery crab taste that just melts in your mouth. One of the nice things was that our food though pretty much all fried didn't come out drowning in grease. So for the best Catfish you're going to find in the area and some of the best add-ons to go with it check out Sam's!
