Quail appetizer
Melissa C.

Looking for some fine dining in East Texas is like looking for a needle in a hay stack...and we've got lots of those out here. This was by far the best dining experience I've ever had in these parts. Here's the low down: 5 courses, $75 ($95 with the tax and gratuity), Friday and Saturday evening at 7, reservations required, BYOB You will not be disappointed.

Salmon tartar

Wow. Just wow! We had no idea this gem was here is East Texas. We've eaten meals on a few continents and this meal was way up there! We were served a 5 course meal and there was not a mediocre bite throughout the entire meal. The star of the show was the Red Stag Tenderloin! Oh my!! Such a treat! Cord, the owner was very personable. You can tell he and his family are good people. We will definitely return to see what Chef Cruz has in store.

A rare find in east Texas. All the chef's creations are excellent. Would just like a few more selections to go more often.

Great place to get a home cooked meal. Yes it's small but don't let that fool you because they have…read moresome off best food that I've had in years. Great service also . Our waitress Meagan was very awesome and even made Mac and cheese for my kids that wasn't on the menu. We found our new favorite restaurant and I hope y'all give it a try.

I was leaving a camping event, tired, dirty, and not having had much in the way of a hot meal in a…read moreweek. I drove by a hand written sign in the grass that said GRANNYS KITCHEN. I made an illegal maneuver that would've made Dale Earnhardt proud. We ambled down a country road for a short distance till we happened upon a double wide trailer with a sign. I was immediately enchanted. My dining companion was not- he was skeptical and didn't want to try it. I went in to get a menu to convince him and was warmly greeted (my favorite thing!). My cajoling worked, and we got a table. It was early on a Monday morning (and a holiday to boot), so we had the place to ourselves. A sweet waitress helped us with tea and coffee and we decided on chicken fried steak with eggs for me and pancake breakfast for him. Now I'll say this- this is not fast food. But it was a crispy, fresh chicken fried steak just like my own grandma used to make. The gravy was PERFECTION, obviously used bacon grease. I was in hog heaven. And the cook (granny herself, I assume) made sure my eggs were exactly to my liking (runny yolks with no jiggly whites). I wish I lived nearby or had a teleporter. I'd eat that CFS once a week! Definitely worth finding this little gem. Oh, and they told me about their small business gumption remodeling the place to prepare for its opening. Small business is my passion, so I was glad to hear the triumphant story. Check it out if you're in the area! (With a detour off 30!)

We loved the cornbread, the neckbones, and the collard greens…read more Good, simple, home cooked food and warm, friendly service -- we were wild about the whole megillah. We know that Sylvia Mae's is currently closed but due to open again, and we wish the kind and helpful owners the very, very best in these difficult times.

I feel like I have to give this place 5 stars. The food is 4 to 4.5 (so far) but the fact that it's…read moretiny, local, family run, everything made from scratch just pushes it up that extra notch. Chicken fried chicken was juicy and properly seasoned and the best we'd ever had. Ditto for the green beans and the okra. She wouldn't tell us what she puts in the green beans, but it's some combination of bacon grease and magic, I swear. The okra was fresh cut, fresh battered, fresh fried, unlike every other place I get it where you can tell it's out of a bag. Hot water cornbread was ah-mazing. I only wish I had honey to slather on it along with the butter. White gravy was fantastic, with just a hint of sweetness we couldn't quite put our finger on. Chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes were delicious, but also the only things I can say were on par with some of our other favorites. Prices are extremely reasonable. And the service is as down home and personal as you would expect at a place like Sylvia Mae's. But don't expect quick delivery of your food. Everything is made to order and it takes time, so settle in and be patient. We will definitely return here as often as we can when we are in the area.
