I had the BLT with the optional egg and it was okay, nothing to write home about. Coffee was good.

We will certainly be back as we are always hopefully that today was an anomaly.

Right in the center of downtown is a corner cafe that is full of friendly smiles as well as loyal…read morepeople who obviously frequent the place and even have their regular tables. Makes you feel like you're in a Texas country town for sure! My daughter and I were in Nacogdoches for college visit to SFA and we looked this place up in the hopes that we would find something different than a normal chain stop. It certainly is different and was exactly what you might imagine. Everything on the menu is decently priced and it seems that Tuesday is the place to be with short stack specials for $2 along with the weekday breakfast special at $6.95 On of my daughter's favorite meals is chicken fried steak and what better place to try that than a local diner??? Unfortunately it fell below expectations. The portions were quite large, enough that we could have just split a plate. The idea of sausage gravy on top of the mashed potatos and steak sounds heavy but also potentially fantastic. However both the gravy and the fry were quite under seasoned. I was able to fix mine with some cholula sauce and some salt and pepper was a quick fix as well for my daughter. The side of green beans and carrots she got were actually pretty good so perhaps there was just a disconnect in flavor at the meat station this day. I did very much enjoy the side salad I chose instead of the veggie medley. Came with home-made ranch which brought me back to my East Texas family gatherings with the freshly shaken ranch.....it was great. The portion size was pretty fair value at $13. Like I said we could have just split it between us. Very hit or miss flavors leaves this at a 3-stars for me. But no doubt some of the nicest folks in town work here.

Although we have never formally dined inside the 1st City Cafe, every time we stay at the Fredonia,…read morewe have wonderful cocktails at the Nine Flags Bar and we order food from the 1st City menu and everything we have ever had was delicious. We really enjoy their pimento cheese, housemade crackers and whipped candied jalepeno dip, the chicharonnes and queso and the great big salads. But oh, the Rebellion Nachos.....I see you sexy nachos over there with all of the hotness.....You simply must sub the Akaushi Tenderloin on the nachos. Thank me later. We normally have cocktails and snacks at the bar and then we order our entrees to take up to the room to enjoy. The service is always top notch here.

I am a guest at the hotel, and unfortunately, the service I experienced in the café and poolside…read morearea on August 21 was extremely disappointing. After helping our daughter move for school, we returned to the hotel exhausted. We had already had an early dinner, so we decided to have a drink and order a light appetizer and dessert poolside. The bar was crowded, and although three different servers came through the pool area, not one stopped at our table to ask whether we needed menus or anything else. We eventually had to flag someone down ourselves. Unfortunately, that interaction seemed to set the tone for the remainder of the evening. The staff we encountered were consistently unwelcoming and inattentive. It gave the impression that they were simply there to complete their shift rather than provide the level of hospitality guests should reasonably expect. The atmosphere was also frustrating. A toddler was repeatedly screaming at the top of her lungs while a musician was performing, and the child's father made no apparent effort to address the situation. While that is not necessarily the hotel's responsibility, the combination of the disruptive environment and poor service made for a particularly unpleasant experience. The situation became even more frustrating when we accidentally left my arm brace on the table as we hurried to finish our nightcap and leave. Within approximately five minutes of realizing it was missing, my husband returned to retrieve it. Since it had been left on the table moments earlier, we expected that the server or another staff member would be able to locate it easily. Instead, he was sent from the bar to the kitchen and then to the front desk. After approximately 15 minutes, he returned without the item. That experience reinforced the impression I had already formed earlier in the day: there appears to be very little communication or coordination among the staff. No one seemed to take ownership of a simple guest-service issue or make an effort to resolve it efficiently. When guests are paying nearly $600 for two nights in a small town such as Nacogdoches, particularly at a property marketed as one of the best accommodations in the area, there is an expectation of professional, attentive hospitality. Guests should feel welcomed, recognized, and valued. Unfortunately, I did not experience that during my stay. The attitude of the waitress who ultimately served us was particularly disappointing and significantly affected the overall experience. Her demeanor was not appropriate for someone working in a customer-service position, much less one at a property presenting itself as a higher-end accommodation. I strongly recommend that management take a closer look at staff training, communication, accountability, and expectations surrounding guest service. Tipping is part of the hospitality industry, and guests should not have to repeatedly seek out employees for basic service. Based on this experience, I will not be staying here again. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and uses it as an opportunity to improve the guest experience for future visitors.

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming--exactly what you'd hope for from a classic hometown diner. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everything was just right without being overbearing. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. As for the food, it absolutely delivered. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Whether you're going for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. What really stood out to me was the consistency and comfort factor--this is the kind of place you can come back to again and again, whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a relaxed meal.

The menu is quite extensive, maybe a little too much but it seems they do a good job. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. This place was very accomodating to the kids- they brought out paper and crayons for the kids and even added some fruit to their kids plates and brought an extra since they were splitting. Their fries are homemade and hand cut- they might need to be fried a little longer because some were soft or perhaps cut smaller but they were good. They make their sauces, dressings, soups, etc from scratch. My mom said even the salad croutons seemed to be homemade. I tried the tomato soup but next time i want to try the french onion. There's really a lot of things i want to try! I got the appetizer crab cakes- they needed a little something, some more flavor, salt, seasoning or something in my foodie opinion but they were good overall. I think there's a lot of things on the menu to explore to find out favorites. We will definitely be back and definitely recommend!

Normally we don't visit establishments with under 4 stars but the pictures seemed to speak for themselves! I could not be happier that we gave this little local place a chance. We arrived right at 10:00 am, after the breakfast crowd but it was still pretty busy. Immediately upon walking in the door, we were greeted with a smile and directed to a little corner table. Our server came right over and got our drink order. When she returned with the drinks we placed our order and I went to wash my hands. When I came back, the order was already on the table!! I had the two egg breakfast with extra crispy bacon and they were both cooked to perfection! I also opted to upgrade the two pancakes to strawberry pancakes. I should have gotten a picture! Covered in strawberries and cream, the obviously from scratch pancakes were to die for!! But let me back up and talk about the eggs. Most restaurants these days use med eggs...on a good day. These eggs were SO big! Hubby ordered his over easy. They had to be jumbo eggs! They were so incredibly yummy! Oh but let's not forget the tea! We often drink unsweet tea when we are out and it's rather astonishing how few places actually have really great tea. This place however, just amazing!! We opted to have a cup to go also! But just as important as the food, or maybe more so, is the service. Hands down the best service we have experienced in a very long time!! If you're on the fence about this place, I urge you to give it a try. I promise you'll be happy that you did!! Oh and don't forget to pick up a cross on your way out!

($2.75) Our server was a terrific young man; personable, helpful and a good cook! We had a good time. The bathroom is Unisex and clean. There is plenty of seating. We sat at a regular dining table, but there are plenty of tables for two or three in addition to chairs and sofas. Most parking is street side. I'm looking forward to coming back!
