We asked them to cook it for us and they did. It was extremely, dry, had very little chicken, and had burnt edges. I was embarrassed to display it on our dining table. Thank God, we had made extra gravy to pour over each serving. There was much left over. I apologized to my family. If we order from you, again I will be making extra chicken to put into it and will be cooking it, myself. My husband wants to order from the Blessing Hotel from now on.

We VERY MUCH recommend this great local spot! Very friendly and super delicious. We will be back!

If you ever find yourself passing through Flatonia, Texas, do yourself a favor and stop at Darlin's…read moreDiner. This place is the definition of small-town charm. The food tastes like it came straight out of a family kitchen--fresh, hearty, and downright delicious. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for in a hometown diner: locals chatting over coffee, a welcoming vibe the moment you walk in, and a staff that treats you like you've been coming there for years. Everyone is genuinely friendly, and it's clear this spot is a community favorite. One of the small town touches the place boasts is that it's connected to a boutique, so you can enjoy a great meal and then browse around a bit. Nestled in this little Texas town, Darlin's Diner just has that warm, welcoming feeling that makes you want to sit a little longer and come back again. Small town, big flavor, and even bigger hospitality. Highly recommend.

We both really enjoyed this restaurant. Unfortunately, this place is over an hour from where I live otherwise I would come back.

We live in Bay City and often travel down to Matagorda Beach throughout the year…read more About 3 years ago we were driving through Matagorda (the town, not the county) and saw a new building with a nice wide beige gravel parking lot. I mention the parking lot because it was a lot larger than most of the businesses down there. Later, we saw several trucks with boats and it was apparent that the business wanted to accommodate longer traffic. Now to the good stuff - the place is awesome. There is a husband/wife team assisted by their daughter. They are super nice - you can tell that they are just good folks. They are assisted by their daughter (who is very cute). Every time we go there the line is pretty good, but we have never had to wait more than 20 minutes. We have had the ribs, the whole smoked chicken, and chopped beef sandwiches. We don't usually get sides because we head to the beach and make it a meat with extra meat kind of day. Some good family friends recently discovered Coastal Que and have not stopped talking about it. They have tried most of everything and recently tried the beef ribs and got two for the both of them. They barely were able as a couple to eat both ribs. So my next trip I am going to give the beef ribs a try. The establishment is very clean. They are generous with their portions and not afraid to provide samples to let you try things. The only downsides are that they are not year-round. I think that they are May to September and head elsewhere for the winter. It hurts to see them leave for the winter (part of our spring ritual is waiting for them to come back). They are only open a few days a week (Thursday-Saturday .... I think .... not sure about Sunday because we never go down there on a Sunday)) and it is not uncommon that they sell out early so plan accordingly. We eat BBQ all over Texas (Austin, San Antonio, Sugarland, Houston, Tyler, and of course Bay City are our usual areas) and this is our favorite place. They are not cheap but the prices are in line with other establishments. When we head down south to the beach, Coastal is a must-visit ritual for us. We always buy enough for the day and extra to take home for the next meal. If you like Texas BBQ, give this place a try. Have a beer (or a root beer) and enjoy some great food.
