Oh people please stop and try this wonderful country diner. You won't be disappointed. The people are so friendly and the food is just plain good. Real comfort food and very relaxed and casual. Today the daily menu specials was We had Choice of Hamburger steak Open faced pork Chicken Fried Steak Beef tips and rice Mashed Potatoes Cabbage Coleslaw Corn Green beans Avocado salad Pinto beans Rice Black eyed peas And the best sweet tea Mom got Buttermilk Pie. Happy Camper she was. I wish I had pictures to show. We would definitely return if we are in the area again. read more

Good n service always great. Good variety of American food. And breakfast all day. Offers specials everyday after 4 like buy one get one 1/2 off. All you can eat fish on weekends. read more

The good, the bad, the ugly. My last breakfast there was over $22 after coffee and tip. Breakfast should be the least expensive thing on the menue, not the most expensive. It's eggs, not crab legs. Staff is mostly nice, but you will probably need to ask for the things you need. No one seems to be very happy about working there. Everything comes from food providers. Canned gravy, battered and frozen fish, canned vegetables. No one actually cooks anymore. they heat things up that Sysco and Ben E. Keith brings. I bet the food storage area has 300 one gallon cans of processed food. Lunch specials are fairly priced. Burgers are great, but too expensive. Fried catfish is good. Clientele is mostly 85-115 years old. I guess those are the people who can afford to spend $25 for breakfast. read more

This was one of my dad's favorite places to eat. Service is great and the food is amazing!

This place was delicious. The portions were large and very flavorful. Doesn't look like much on the outside but don't let that stop you. The waitress was as nice as can be and very attentive (but not overly so). read more

Terrible food all the way around. Truck stop food. It wasn't memorable. Service was great.

Great food and nice place. Breakfast menu is really solid, service is always friendly, location could be better. Probably the best diner in town. read more

I went here just to avoid James D. It was wonderful. Good people, good food. Nice. Felt great.

Tastes like home cooking! Very inexpensive with large portions ! Love this place ! Service is good also!

consistenly good. mostly prepared in house. Really good breakfast. Catfish is very Good

Great food great price Love the homemade pies Service is great Ambiance Love talking to everyone at the other tables It felt like we were talking to family and friends read more

Great food and service! We found this on the Roadtrippers app, which never disappoints. This app always finds the best mom and pop restaurants. Also side note...it's next door to a rundown looking truck stop that has the best diesel prices and the bathrooms were clean. read more

Great breakfast and brunch here. Very similar to Dollie's but usually less crowded on special sfa weekends. Great place to take family.

Incredible home style cooking. Breakfast to Dinner! All you can eat fried catfish I could eat every week.

This is the closest you'll get to eating in someone's home -- the menu is filled with classic, down-home American dishes. Breakfast is served all day, the lunch specials are very reasonably priced, and there are daily dinner specials including the ever-popular chicken fried steak, hamburger steak, meatloaf, and grilled chicken. Desserts are always changing, so you may or may not have the same choices on repeat visits. But, I liked that it was not always the same 3 options you might find at other places. The staff is very friendly. I visited about twice a week -- sometimes more -- to sit at the counter, have some coffee, and most of the time order breakfast. It's a hoot to just watch the servers interact with each other and their regulars. I've told them before, "It's like dinner and a show!" I don't have a favorite server -- they're all wonderful -- but I will tell you to watch out for Cathy! She doesn't take any lip off anyone, she gives as good as she gets, and she's alway quick with a comeback. BUT! She's really a softie, so don't let her fool you! I love Kinfolks. Our stay in Nacogdoches was only for 5 months, I definitely miss it, and it is the standard by which I measure all other diners. read more

For my first time being here the customer service was very good. Ms. Micky was bery nice and gave suggestions on what to order. The price of the food was decent considering most places charge a lot higher. The time to cook and prepare the food was phenomenal. I only waited 5 minutes and it was ready. read more

It was a very busy morning. Our server, Taylor took our drink orders and alerted us that they were short staffed in the kitchen. She asked us if the wait would be ok. That is service excellence! The food was definitely worth the wait. read more

In today's world, this has to be the best customer service I've seen in a while. Though I can't remember her name, I'm horrible about that, she called everyone at our table by name. My wife and I ordered one plate to share, and she had the kitchen put together two plates for us with everything already cut in half and portioned. I wish I would've took a picture. There was so much food that it looked like we ordered our own plates. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

I loved this place, it reminded me of home. It was super hospitable, and we were immediately greeted. Service was fantastic, the food was great (cheaper, but the food kind. Still made well, and love is an ingredient). It's more of a diner spot, and the staff seemed to really enjoy working with each other. It's just really nice and welcoming, and I will definitely be coming back. read more

This place was great ! Home style cooking with a lot of food choices and the quality was very good. We will be going back. The server was great ! read more

Best fried chicken ever! We purchased the 7 piece bucket plus a side of collards and both are amazingly delicious. Service is excellent! The only thing missing is their beer and wine, but that is a county or city issue and not their fault. read more

I have called in several orders to this place to be picked up, since my dad is elderly and can't get out. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME., the waitress puts me on hold, I wait 30 minutes, then hangs up on me. I can tell which days she works by the number of times this has happened. They need more reliable waitresses there, or at least one who knows how to answer the phone and take an order. read more

This place is going downhill real fast. Lunch specials are getting real skimpy and breakfast is nothing to brag about. Plus the blonde waitress is the worst I have ever seen. She waited on us twice and I wanted to walk out and not tip, but I stayed and did tip but she didn't deserve it. This food is getting real bad. Better do a makeover. read more

Service is great. People that work there are very nice. This is a town hang out place for locals. Breakfast, consisting of eggs, biscuits and gravy was served very cold. The next day a friend also received a very cold breakfast. read more

Cozy family style dining for a couple or a group. Sunday afternoons are our favorite when they have a special menu and everything on it is hot and tastes a lot like Grandma's. Also want to mention that we think it's so important to support our locally owned businesses and especially the restaurants that have been hard hit by the government closures. read more

Service was good. Food was average I would probably eat there again. The friends I ate with enjoyed their food. So overall good but not anything spectacular. read more

Excellent breakfast, great service, and very impressed. The best breakfast I have had in nacogdoches as if to date. Kind of feels like kin folk. We will be back. read more

This is a nice little restaurant. The food was delicious and in the right proportions. Friendly workers made the visit even better!

Just an average restaurant. Nothing special. Our group had chicken fried steak and hamburgers. The chicken fried steak was thick, crisp, and not at all greasy. The mashed potatoes are made fresh, however, they were dry. The gravy is most likely packaged. The burger is large and my friends said it was great. Their onion rings are hand dipped and they are crispy. I observed two cakes sitting on two different racks in the open without lids, one on the second rack from the floor. I would hate to think this would be the cake I would be served as dessert. Yuk! Dirty! The service was not that great. We were there at about 3:00pm when the restaurant was not busy. read more

We've lived in Nac since August 2017 and just found this place. We weren't looking, really; just had occasion to stay at the adjacent hotel for a few nights. I wasn't expecting much when we visited for Sunday breakfast and when the food came out it didn't look like a LOT of food or even like the portions one might get at another family style restaurant, chain or not. The environment is nothing special, but their teapot motif and the collection of teapots placed around the windowsill was an interesting and unique feature. We were VERY pleasantly surprised with the quality of the burgers we had today. Seasoned well and a quality cut of beef. Very, very tasty. The onion rings were really, REALLY good, too. WAY better than the Dennys across the road. I can't remember the last time I told the wait staff to give the cooks my compliments, but I did today. Add to it that Tuesdays are two burgers for the price of one and it was a recipe for an excellent experience. read more

My husband and I came in for lunch, we are traveling through the area. The most recent review was 2 months old, but they all looked consistently positive. The staff was great and welcoming, atmosphere is a local diner but very comfortable, very clean. I had the fried catfish with a side salad and fries, my husband had chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and corn. We cleaned our plates - it was delicious! The fish and chicken were cooked perfectly. For what seems like a "hole in the wall" diner, we were pleasantly surprised. Wish we had a place like this back home! Definitely worth a visit if you're in Nacogdoches. read more

You really cannot beat this place. Small town feel, major city flavors. Been coming here for years and it's good every single time

We seated ourselves as instructed on the sign. The place was pretty busy and the table we got was still in need of cleaning from the previous patrons. We sat at that table without acknowledgement from any wait staff for almost 10 minutes. We decided that we didn't want to continue waiting and decided to move on to another establishment where we could be served in a timely manner. read more

This was an excellent breakfast! Vert friendly service. I tried the pancakes, eggs, sausage, and baskets and gravy. All were great! Biscuits and gravy were light and fluffy. Plan to have all my Nacogdoches breakfasts here from now on. read more

Kinfolks Restaurant - the front of the restaurant - Chicken Wings Near Me - Nacogdoches, Texas

I'd like to say this place has improved much to my liking. The fly problem has been addressed and much improved! Their food is wonderful and the wait staff are always friendly, kind and efficient. We love their breakfasts, their fantastic hamburgers made to order and their fish is so good! On Fridays and Saturdays after 4, they offer all you can eat fish; I make a real effort to go on one of those days for sure. I love this place! read more

This place doesn't look like much...and it smells greasy when you walk-in...but whoa...the food is awesome! Service was excellent once they figured out who had our table. This is country cooking at its best. read more

Not bad, not bad at all. Nice family styled restaurant. Good food and friendly waitresses. A nice variety of menu items, including breakfast served all day and some tempting desserts. Very reasonable prices. Nice to see a family styled restaurant still thriving in Nacogdoches read more

Kinfolks Restaurant - Chicken Wings Near Me - Nacogdoches, Texas

I drive a truck and eat a lot of crappy food. Not because I want to, but because so many good truck stop cafes no longer exist, and all too often, fast food is all that's handy. Today, for instance, I ate McDonald's for breakfast and lunch. I wanted a decent sit down meal for supper. I knew Kinfolks was coming up, and there is parking next door at the truck stop. Kinfolks ain't the best cafe by far, but are well above average. I've never had a bad meal there. Iced tea is good. Service is excellent. Food is tasty. I'll keep stopping. Definitely recommend Kinfolks. read more

Sunday lunch. Good selections. Large crowd. Good food. Poor waitress with attitude. Other staff seemed good and capable.
