The staff was incredibly helpful with finding things that I could have on the menu. Our server was very willing to ask the chef any questions I had about ingredients and sauces. You can get any of the pasta dishes they can make them with gluten free pasta upon request along with getting any handhelds on a gluten free bun. I landed on the Poke Bowl, I subtracted the aioli and ponzu because they were not gluten free. I removed the picked ginger out of my personal preference. To replace the sauces I removed I asked for a cup of their apple vinaigrette and it paired incredibly well with everything in the bowl.

I came in with two other people, we were seated promptly, the server explained the specials, the bartender said she made amazing drinks. She said we had Blanton for $13, my two friends ordered and old fashioned with Blanton, the glass was pretty much empty. I ordered a Manhattan with Woodford, also pretty much empty and they served in a rocks glass, should have been up. I then switched and ordered a double Woodford on the rocks- they charged me 46 dollars for a 2 oz pour of Woodford. The bottle is 40. I am in hospitality. I was mortified you charged more for Woodford than Blantons. I ordered the prime rib special/ it's a steakhouse- or so I thought. I asked for MR, said as rare as they can. I got a well done piece which I sent back, they brought out another piece which looked funny, it looked fake. Not sure how to describe it. I cut into it and took one bite. It was the most vile thing I have ever eaten, it tasted like plastic and chemicals. Told the server that I would stil pay for it but I don't want anything . The owner came over I explained, she then said it comes pre-cooked. The rep from Ben E Keith recommended this. They don't have a chef . I felt awful for them. Change your vendor to one that won't sell you subpar products. The burger my friend ordered was also sent out over cooked, and the by strip was disappointing and also sent back. We all ended up getting burgers made by the other owner, they were actually good. Here's my recommendation- turn into a burger joint, and learn how to price drinks. $150 for 5 drinks, thankfully they took the food off cause of the issues. The server said thank you for not yelling at me and understanding it's the kitchen. Your service was great, please find another place with good food so you don't get yelled at. I'm sorry this happens to you but it's not going to get better unless they make changes.

The steaks are OUTSTANDING!…read more Everything else is mediocre. - bread is plain - Caesar salad (dressing) was horrendously unbalanced - potatoes au gratin are actually potato chunks (not slices) in a bland american cheese melt (not sauce) The service is courteous, but a little haphazard. We had at least 5 different staff members at the table throughout the meal, never knew who to ask what. There was no wine menu on the table to start, had to request it. Overall, they do their steaks justice, 5 stars there. The rest is to be desired.

Never expected myself to drive two hours for some ribeye steak, but it was worth the experience. We…read morerandomly scrolled on YouTube and watched someone rated this THE BEST in Texas so we had to check it out. What makes this place unique is that they use charcoal, have make their own rub, you can order as many ounces up to 32oz I believe, and they only sell ribeye steaks. The place is called the general store because that's what it used to be when first started doing business in the 1980s but later expanded and converted into a steakhouse. We got there at 4pm and there was a little bit of a line already. The restaurant is only open three days a week each day from 5:30 to 9. On Thursday they have fried catfish and Friday and Saturday they sell only steak. The minimum order starts at 10oz and each ounce increment is a little bit extra charge. We ordered the 24 ounce to be shared between the two of us total is about $70 and we still have some leftover. The charcoal flavor was not overpowering, but the seasoning of the steak was perfectly balanced. Usually, I eat my steak with extra pepper or chimichurri, but this one I was able to eat without any extra seasoning. The surface of the steak look heavily seared but the medium interior was really juicy and succulent. I could taste more char on the edge pieces. After the steak we headed to their second shop next door for some malt shake. I got the cookies n creame flavor, it was milky and not overly sweet like any other milkshakes. And the malt flavor lingers on the tongue after each sip. I was debating to get another one but chocolate flavor but I was too full. Service there overall was very welcoming, and dining area is really big, the interior feels like an old western cabin but very clean and spacious. Great for family gatherings too. They also have a BYOB offer for people who love some good sips along with the smokey steak.

Then the garlic mash potatoes and PERFECTLY cooked 10 oz sirloin came out. The steaks were cooked exactly to order. They had a pristine flavor, and the meat just melted in my mouth. The yeast roll looked like a roll but it was pretty heavenly too, especially with the steak drippings. Our server was super sweet and helpful! And the quaint "general store" is for locals and visitors alike!! Awesome steak night --perfect for a date night! Pass on dessert! Stick with best stuff! Pecan cobbler and peach cobbler were overly sweet! But they did come with a scoop Of vanilla ice cream on top!

The Caesar salad was good, traditional, fresh, and the correct size. The garlic mashed potatoes were good. But the wagyu NY strip was just incredible. It was almost black on the outside and just warm on the inside, a perfect rare as wagyu beef should be. The meat was unctuous and delicious without being greasy or fatty. It was so richly umami flavorful, perfectly seasoned. It was just an excellent steak. The bourbon bread pudding was a huge serving and wonderfully flavorful. There was some nice bread to go with the meal too. The smoked old fashioned cocktail before dinner was excellent. And I got a nice Cabernet that perfectly paired with the steak. Our server was casual but friendly with a good balance of hospitality and service. This was truly a great dinner and one of the best steaks I've ever had... and all of this in Ennis, Texas. If you're reading this review, thank you... but just stop reading and go to Ruston Cattle Company.

Great North Ennis steakhouse giving huge lodge, cabin, cowboy vibes…read more The place is always packed at dinner but the wait never seems to be too long. Perhaps because they have a well-stocked bar with good beer and better bourbon selections. Don't skip the Smoked Old Fashioned. Food is great with traditional steakhouse choices and some pricier Wagyu options. When we are there, we seem to settle on a family style board with 2-3 cuts and the Beef Rib. Oh my, the Beef Rib smoked for 73 hours because I guess 3 days isn't quite enough time. Sides are solid and the table typically gets excited about the Brussels sprouts. Jalapeno Cheddar Cream Corn is can't miss either. Service is prompt, friendly and helpful. I'm here at least once a trip when in the greater Ennis metroplex. You should visit too.

We arrived around 11:30 a.m. and were seated immediately, even as the restaurant quickly filled with the after-church local crowd. Seeing so many locals choosing to eat here made us feel like we'd found the right place. Our server, Trish, was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and checked on us just the right amount--always available without ever making us feel rushed. Our family of seven ordered a variety of meals and everything was a hit. The catfish basket special was a favorite with my parents. My grilled pork chop was cooked perfectly and came with a baked potato and delicious grilled squash and broccoli. My husband enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich with onion rings, our daughter loved the kids' sirloin with mac and cheese, and our youngest happily devoured his chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and fresh fruit. What stood out most wasn't just the food--it was the overall experience. Great service, generous portions, a welcoming atmosphere, and a dining room full of locals all combined to make this a memorable meal.
