If you're just passing through town and trying to decide where to have dinner, put this place near…read morethe top of your list. We started with the fried dumplings, and they were a pleasant surprise. They have a strong cumin-forward flavor, so don't expect the traditional Asian taste you might be picturing. Once you know that, they're crispy, flavorful, and a great way to start the meal. The reason I'd come back, though, is the chicken fried steak. It's easily one of the best you'll find around here. Tender, hand-breaded, and fried to a beautiful golden crisp, it's exactly the kind of comfort food Texas is known for. I personally would have liked just a touch more seasoning, but that's easy to fix with a little salt and pepper at the table--and the quality of the meat and the cook more than make up for it. Don't overlook the sides. The seasoned fries are addictive, and the skin-on mashed potatoes taste homemade. Honestly, I'd be happy with either one. If you're traveling with kids, this is an easy choice. The butter noodles from the kids' menu come in a generous portion, and ours left happy, full, and asking when we could come back. Every town has a few places to eat, but not every town has a place that makes you glad you stopped. If you're looking for a satisfying dinner with generous portions, great comfort food, and something everyone in the family will enjoy, this is the place I'd recommend. 5 Stars! #ShopLocal Ps... always ask for the off-menu specials like Chicken Parmesan!

Recently when I'm in Bowie, this is where I stop. I do wish more people knew about it, because it…read moreis a great spot. Possibly too hip for Bowie, UNFORTUNATELY (My hope is that it does get packed during Bowie Trad Days) Food- The chicken fried rice was excellent, super flavorful, nice big portions, and easily enough for two people. The chips and salsa were fresh and tasty too (the salsa had a good kick without being overwhelming). Everything I tried was very tasty, and the portions are generous for the price Prices- Speaking of price, plates run about $10-20, which feels like a great deal given how much food you get. Definitely good value. Service- Was acceptable. nothing over the top but perfectly fine and friendly enough Environment- Very simple and casual, open layout, nothing fancy at all. It's the kind of spot you go to when you want solid food without any pretentious vibes Would definitely come back if I'm craving fried rice or something filling in the area Deleted the picture I took of my chicken fried rice, so I will update this review the next time I stop in, with a pic!

We just had BBQ yesterday from Terry Blacks. Today's experience was phenomenal. The folks were super nice. They have Texas Twinkie's...my absolute favorite. Theirs is 5 stars. Smoked perfectly. They weren't over powered with cheese. I ordered ham. It looked dry and I was worried when she was slicing it. It was anything but dry. Smoked perfectly and tasty. I loved it. Great flavor. The brisket was fatty, tender and pull apart deliciousness. My sis loved her pulled pork sandwich. Proudly exclaimed 5 stars! We tried their jalapeño Mac n cheese, green beans, coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans and macaroni salad. The Mac n cheese. Heavenly and the best I've had in Texas. We loved their potato salad. I'm telling you it was perfection. It's a mashed potato salad...and I'd argue like the Mac n cheese the best I've ever had. Coleslaw was creamy and not too sweet and we also really liked their macaroni salad. 2 things. Green beans weren't seasoned. Super bland. And I'm not a fan of how they prepackage their sides and you grab it out of the warmer or cooler. Their sides are some of the best in DFW. Let people see the product. Preparing them ahead gives a generic look and feel. I almost forgot the banana pudding. Soooo good. A must try! I liked that the lady stopped by and how everything was...it was warm and genuine. Bottom line 5 stars. We really really enjoyed it. We will back!

Rooster's is downtown on the Main Street; easy to find right across from the county courthouse. I visited on a Tuesday afternoon and it was a bit busy but was instantly greeted, seated myself at the bar, and served a (very) cold drink immediately. I had the 2-meat plate with fries. Hot fresh fries; good smoked sausage and sliced brisket. I did as I like to do: took my time eating, visiting with the staff and local folks. I enjoyed every minute and every bite. I parked my 18-wheeler a mile away and walked into town; hadn't walked three blocks back and a local fellow stopped and says, "Can I give you a ride? It's awful hot." My kinda place.

Bowie has got to be the fast food Mecca of North Central Texas. Seriously, they've got it all…read more Traveling for work, I end up settling for fast food waaay more than I'd like to admit. My coworkers and I prefer to find local eateries whenever possible. For lunch one day, we searched out The Woolf Den, decided that we could all be happy with something on their extensive menu, and had a surprisingly delicious meal here. I got the French Dip sandwich, which can be risky. A lot of times French Dips are dry and boring with a side of jus to moisten it up. Here at Woolf Den the sandwich would have been divine on its own...the jus was just the icing on the cake! The sandwich was closer to a Philly cheesesteak--thinly-sliced, griddled steak, mushrooms, peppers, onions, and gooey melted cheese on a hoagie roll. The jus was flavorful. When I was done dipping my sandwich, I had half a mind to drink the remaining jus...it was that good! However, I'm a civilized human being, so I just dipped everything I could find into it...crackers, mainly. So good! I think I'll dream about that sandwich. My coworkers got the club sandwich and the Philly cheesesteak. Both really enjoyed everything they had. The women behind the counter were sweet, too. It's nice to be greeted when you walk through the door. They also offered good recommendations. I don't think you can go wrong at this place. I'd love to go back and try more of the menu, but I don't know if I'll get the chance. If you need to take food to go, all meals are served in styrofoam boxes. You can also call in orders and pick them up. This seems like a very convenient option in these parts. All in all, I'd definitely go back. I'm actually bummed that I've got to leave tomorrow and most likely won't get the chance.

The menu is small with a section for BBQ, burgers, and sides for this then the next page is Asian (Philippines food) with sides for those dishes. I had the baby back rib plate with 4 bone of ribs, toast, and my sides were Pancit (noodle dish) and potato salad. The ribs were perfection; soft with a light pull off the bone, nice level of smoke, flavor was excellent. Sauce in the table was good but the ribs did not need and flavoring as is. They say the potato salad is one of their specialities and they weren't exaggerating. Not a thing in this order wasn't great. My Wife had the smoked cheeseburger. It was a huge burger with nicely seasoned meat, super fresh bun, and crispy fresh veg made this one of my favorite burgers of all time. Fries were okay, nothing special about them. The star of the show though was the Lumpia. For those of you that don't know what it is think of fried spring rolls. Veg and pork filling then CRISPY fried to perfection. Four in an order and they also have loaded lumpia and brisket lumpia. Wow, you can't get this anywhere in Wise County.
