I had driven past Vinny's Cajun Kitchen a few times on my trips to Woodville. I decided to stop and…read moreeat there for lunch on Saturday and I was not at all disappointed! I had a crawfish po-boy sandwich and it was amazing! Just the right amount of fried crawfish, and the bread was perfect! There is no indoor seating, so you can either eat outside at one of the tables, or get your food to-go. Either way, if you love Cajun food, this is the place! I would argue that this restaurant could easily compete in a much larger market like Houston - the food here was certainly as good or better than any I've had in Houston - better even than some I've had in Louisiana! If you're anywhere in the Woodville area - from Lufkin to Livingston - and want good Cajun food, get to Vinny's!

I just got off the phone with Vinny, the owner, who got upset with me reminding him what he said he would do to make up for the twice in a row of bad food and service, so he hung up on me. We will not be getting food from Vinny's anymore.

This is, as far as I know, the only permanent location (as opposed to portable food truck) for Texas BBQ in Woodville, and it's well worth the visit! I got a two-meat plate and the quality was top-notch. Reasonably priced, superb quality, and quick service. When you're in Woodville, don't miss out!

It's a family business down to the china the meals are served on. The tea room is beautifully kept and inviting. Loved the sampler lunch with pimento cheese, chicken salad and cucumber dill sandwiches and great tomato basil soup too. Next time I will make sure to save room for dessert as well. I had iced tea but they had a very nice selection of Ahmad tea for hot tea. The owner and staff were absolutely lovely and even arranged a comfy little place next to our table for my friends baby boy to lie and play on while we ate. We enjoyed browsing the cute gift shop in the front of the building as well. Such a nice place to enjoy lunch and I look forward to going back!

This is the first time it has been used as a gift shop and tea room. Everything is authentic down to the antique plates, Silverware and stemware. Warm and cozy it's got country charm everywhere. Once you get to the back Tea Room you'll be given a simple menu to choose from and nothing on it is less than delicious. The hot tomato basil soup was served in a teacup. So cute!! With a generous portion of quiche for my main course, the side dish stole the show. The best broccoli salad I've ever eaten. I would highly recommend stopping by for a nibble and a shop. I would also recommend the peach tea and buttermilk pie. The menu may change as they repair their food fresh daily. You won't find food processors here, it's all done by hand with love.

The variety is amazing, from aguas frescas, delicious milk and fresh water popsicles. Not your store bought type of popsicles. They have all kinds of snacks, elotes, conchitas, piña preparada, chicharrones preparados, frito pie, cheetos with cheese. The list goes on. If you don't feel like getting down you could always go through drive thru. They have a clean store front, also inside and a clean restroom. I do recommend this place. More to get refreshed after a hot afternoon. I usually take my kiddos after school, works as a good treat for a good school day, plus they have tables... So we sit enjoy our refreshments and do homework.

The hours have expanded I'm pleased to report and the food is just as good as it ever was. Some employees are not here anymore and they probably retired but the ladies working here work very hard to make sure the customers are always full. The circus posters on the walls, the period dresses the servers wear, and the table cloths and curtains add a note of nostalgia and send you back to a simpler time. Keep up the great work and I will keep coming. I drive 80 miles to get here and have been for 20 years. So I definitely recommend this place to anyone.

I have eaten here several times before writing this review…read more The price is steep but it's an all you can eat right!?! Well the first round they bring out is a whole chicken (tasted just like Brookeshire's chicken) then they asked exactly how many pieces you want after that. Mind you we had a full table of people so we needed another plate but it felt as if we had a limit. The greens are from a can. The chicken and dumplings are made from leftover chicken the day or so before. Also you have to get your own drinks and clear your own table. It's a neat experience for travelers but as a local it's a one time deal.
