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.
