First time here. The restaurant is very cute. Laid back, Texas hipster vibes. Modern diner environment. Coffee was good, no espresso just coffee. Bar drinks are above par, housemade syrups and fresh juices. The bartender served us. She, Lacey (if I remember correctly) was great, had good recommendations and was very knowledgeable. My son had the scallops shrimp and grits, he cleaned the plate. I had chicken fries steak and fries with jalapeño gravy. Food was very good. Definitely be visiting this place again!! read more

I really wanted to like this place but, for the price, it's just not anything to write home about. So let's start with the good: - cocktails and mocktails were tasty - calamari appetizer, jalapeño chicken fried steak and the halibut dishes were tasty But that's where it ends. My son ordered the scallops and to say they were gritty was an understatement. And the service...well when we could flag our waitress down we got service. Otherwise she was nowhere to be found. My husband flagged down another waitress after we had been sitting there for 15 minutes without any water or drinks. We also had to flag her down for the check. Considering the price tag for the night, I expected the service to be better. read more

Food was amazing, service was great, and the restaurant looked amazing on tbe inside. The menu had great selections for everyone to choose from. I wish this place had more marketing because it is so good! It's kind of tucked away on greens prairie road, but it is a must try. read more

Nice find just outside the TAMU. We wanted something different tonight and thought some Texas inspired food would be fun. The restaurant was in full swing when we walking in. Greater was very apologetic for not sitting us right away but told us a 5 -10 minute wait would help them better serve us. Well said and kitchen thanks you for not stacking tables. You can tell they have well trained staff. They kept up with the business. You could tell the kitchen expo was on point because everything came out together hot and freshly garnished. Well orchestrated firing, plating, and serving. We enjoyed everything but especially the appetizers (fried green tomatoes and calamari). Of course one person had to get the chicken fried steak. I had the salmon....we finished off everything it was so good. read more

People witness how you treat others and might make a review. Manager/ owner was extremely rude. From entering the doorway before a greeting was even attempted. Don't try to have fancy restaurant if you are not classy enough to handle people coming in. This is not fish daddies. I understand that there might be reservations but the attitude when you were able to seat a party immediately without a reservation was uncalled for. Restaurant didn't even fill before we left. Food was good but no need for me to return. read more

I thought this place was pretty interesting. The building looked new the inside was 70s retro vibe. The waitress immediately sat up down and was super friendly. Service was great and the food was good. Prior to the meal we had the goat cheese. This was amazing, creamy with some heat and sweetness. I ordered the chicken fried steak and fries. The steak was nice and tender thick and not all batter. My fries were nice and crispy and the gravy with fresh jalapeños was an Ace in the hole. I had two other individuals with me. The burger looked amazing and the patty was as thick and not frozen. I had a taste, it was as delicious but didn't like the BBQ sauce on the burger. (This is me, others may like it). I will definitely come back and try their steaks . Stay hungry read more

I've probably told this story before but it's relevant to my recent visit to Bryan/College Station. A few years back a bunch of car club peeps all gathered in the area. I'm interested in exploring the food scene. Instead, we end up dining at Twin Peaks because there was a coupon for free queso. And if I'm correct on my timeline Marfa Texas Kitchen had just opened. Cut to the chase MFT is a stunner. Attention to detail started with the calamari. Cute albeit purely theater Chinese togo box (branded with restaurant logo) with some nice crunchy goodness. Solid dipping sauces. Girls had Tortilla Soup. On my side having already consumed a couple of gin drinks I chose to snack on the Fig and Goat Cheese appetizer. Great pairing of flavors; crunchy crostini was the perfect vessel for consumption. We also devoured the Deviled Eggs with similar vigor. Atmosphere is trendy and artsy. You could make the case of pretentious which is what Marfa totally screams but it doesn't transfer into this space. We visited with one of the proprietors; glad to know the restaurant is in it's second year. Dining room will fill up fast! Highly recommended and make reservations! read more

Visited for Mother's Day dinner. Located a bit out of town but well worth a visit. Great service, good food (although crispy Brussels Sprouts could have used some seasoning), good drinks menu (would love to see Japanese Sake - rice wine varieties on the menu, to complement the Japanese whiskies), and cool/fresh ambience. A hefty 10 oz Ruffino not shown in photos. Set us back $155 for four persons (2 drinks) including tax and tip. read more

I got the pistachio crusted jalapeno chicken fried steak with potatoes. It was pretty good, but it felt like it needed salt and pepper (which there was none on the table) the potatoes were like mini smashed potatoes, some crispy, some not. The ambiance was relaxing and low lighting which was cute. We sat by the bar at the table right by the door, but it wasn't too distracting. Our waitress was super sweet and very accommodating. Lots of parking available and located in Tower Point area! Kind of pricey for the food. This was one of the cheaper things on the menu being around 20ish dollars. Everything else was $30+. Overall great experience, but felt mediocre, I wouldn't come again. read more

Marfa is always a great, local spot! The cocktails are unique and delicious, the food options are versatile and truly enjoyable. I've always had great service and the vibe is excellent. I've been here for bday dinners, lunch meetings, and date nights and it's always great! read more

Delicious food and drinks! Chicken with risotto was juicy and tender; the chopped salad was fresh and seasoned to perfection; and the calamari was crispy with a delightful creamy sauce. Plating was IMMACULATE. Service was also top notch with our very attentive server. We will definitely be back! read more

The pistachio crusted chicken fried steak was prepared to perfection. I would suggest splitting because the portion is huge. Our server did not visit us very often she had one other table and only came back when we flagged her down- this is the only aspect I would have changed. It was a birthday dinner and I definitely felt like we were inconveniencing her by asking for refills or more ketchup. Drinks were also incredible too! read more

Quite a surprising find for us! It's located a bit away from most of the main attractions of the area, but it's worth finding! First, the interior was a great combination of western and modern decor, with more emphasis on the modern. Then there was the food! Our server was very patient with us in explaining the menu. We shared the "Fig & Goat" appetizer, which was a nice combination of fig jam over goat cheese, but that was some of the best goat cheese we've ever had! We also shared a Beet Sandwich and that was the star! The beets were really done well and stood up well instead of the usual meat. Overall, a great restaurant. We look forward to stopping here again on our next trip to the area. read more

What a lovely little find this place is! I absolutely recommend it. It was adorable, great service, and good food, extremely reasonably priced! The beer and wine list isn't the best, but their drink menu is wonderful and the presentation is exquisite! read more

My mother and I went in to try this place during their social hour (4-6pm) on a Thursday. The atmosphere is very dark and is not super reminiscent of Marfa, TX to me but I read the story on their website and that's not the goal. I think it was smart to call the restaurant Marfa because it's all about getting people in that door. We got a bunch of small plates for 6-8 bucks and everything was incredible. The fried calamari and zucchini was our favorite and the BBQ sliders were a close second. I did not love the Figgin Drink I keep seeing on here but I tried it anyway. I don't know why but it just didn't have any recognizable tasting notes and just felt like I was drinking alcohol. My old fashioned was not anything special either. I must say the service was incredible and it was awesome for the manager/owner to check on us. I still feel as if there is room for improvement here for the price point. I would return for a burger though! read more

Great food, service. Will be back next time we are in College Station!! Food was much better than I expected

I had a black beetle bug in my salmon...and a long girls hair in my drink...and horrible service on top of that... Absolutely disgusting...you can't have more than one thing wrong in one visit...do better...be better... read more

Top Line: MTK is very much worth a visit. Everything, from drinks to apps to mains were all on point. Drink menu is outstanding, and Marfa delivered on its promise. A "Figgin' Drink" was awesome -- a sort of twisted old fashioned -- and other cocktails were also well done. We did a quick shareable salad as an appetizer -- fantastic. Well above expectations. Chicken fried steak entree was quite delicious, but the star this night was the Scottish salmon -- perfectly cooked and outstanding. Both entrees came with crushed potatoes, which were irresistable. Service (admittedly, on a slow night) was outstanding as well. We'll definitely return here. read more

I really enjoyed my time here while visiting in college station. I wanted to try something different and unique to the area and they did not disappoint. We started off with drinks. Unfortunately I cannot remember the names, but they were good. My partner ordered the drink with the large Ice Cube and it was strong! I ordered a drink with hibiscus that had a grapefruit flavor and it was very light and fresh. We ordered the fried green tomatoes and grits and it was so good. It really did have a little kick to it and the fried green tomatoes were cooked to perfection. I really could have just eaten that. I'll order the scallops and crawfish linguine. It was more on the dry side to me. My partner ordered the salmon with potatoes and his food was cooked very well. My kid had grilled shrimp with brussel sprouts which are also very tasty. I ended up more so eating her food that my own. Our server was very good and I love their cute outfits. She always came at the right time and didn't have her. The restaurant had a very cute vibe. Their bathrooms are adorable and very clean. I will definitely come back here if I came back to college station and recommend that you do as well. read more

Food was tasty although service was a bit slow at times. I would recommend, the prices are very reasonable.

Love Marfa Texas Kitchen! It is expertly crafted to take you to the artsy fartsy environment of Marfa. Great service. Cocktails from the bar were beautiful and refreshing! I had the Marfa Lights. No Started with the fig and cheese plate which was served with crostinis. Today we ordered from the weekend lunch menu which offered three of their dinner items, including the pistachio crusted chicken fried steak with jalapeño gravy. Very very good! Reminds me of Marfa. I really want to try the coconut fried shrimp tacos next time. Our friend ordered it and loved it! Come here to remember the time you visited Marfa or as a closer alternate to driving eight hours to west Texas. Every detail was planned down to the binder clips to bring you the Marfa feel! read more

My daughter recently moved to college station for work, so we have been spending some time up there seeing her. First time to Marfas the other night, and overall it was pretty good. Very nice place, staff was really good and the food was really good as well. They had a nice happy hour menu as well. I would say the only downside was that they did not have Diet Coke, they only offered Coke Zero. ( I know, it's not that big of a deal. ) but also, they charged $3.25 for a Coke Zero and then you get a can with no refills. If you are going to charge for refills, the cost of a drink should be lower (or I should get free refills). Also, if you are charging that much for a can of soda, why not have Diet Coke as well. I will probably go back after trying other places in town, but I will just be drinking water next time as I do t like establishments that charge per can. read more

The cornbread from this place is life changing. I can't stop thinking about it. Everything else was great too, but the corn bread??? Incredible. read more

The vibe and decor are good. My friends and I were excited to try it. The dinner menu is bare bones. I ordered the chicken which wasn't seasoned. The sauce on the outer edge of the plate was BBQ sauce-like. A friend ordered the salmon. It came out bright pink/raw in the middle. Each of the other two times it came back more bright pink in the center. The waitress did not know how to handle it. A manager came by and made excuses. No one ever apologized for the raw salmon. Since they couldn't get it right, we shared our meals with her. Our waitress had to be asked for water refills every time. Another friend ordered the steak and enjoyed it. It's somewhat pricy for blah food. I won't be back. read more

Marfa Texas Kitchen - Chicken - New American Near Me - College Station, Texas

Decent new restaurant in CS. We stopped by on a Sunday & it wasn't too busy because they had just opened at 11. I had to order an app before being served a bloody mary which was a bit different from other places i've been to. It has vibes, if few and far between. Walking in, it was like a scaled back/more conservative/subdued hip restaurant. Food wise, the deviled eggs were tasty (a little small). The bison burger was a bit too salty for my taste but the fries were delicious. If you're looking for brunch, this is not the place. They only have a lunch and an expanded dinner menu, which was a bit disappointing. Personally, this is more of a 3-star place for me, but 4 star for college station. Not my personal fave & i'm not sure i'd come back but it's a new small biz restaurant in a city full of fast food places & chains. read more

Great Food & good people who work there. The only reason for the shortage of starts is because they don't have senior discounts.

Tried @giddyupmarfa tonight and it was delicious!!! Steak and fries never misses and their homeade dipping sauces were a perfect pairing for the fries. The charcuterie board was the perfect appetizer, followed by a "Marfa Lights" drink - slightly sweet hibiscus tequila drink topped with topo Chico! The brussel sprouts were not very seasoned and mostly tasted like oil! Other than that loved it! read more

Delicious food! Nice and polite service. Comfortable booth seating. Helpful to us with a toddler!

Great staff - extremely friendly and professional. Loved the atmosphere and the food was excellent. (I had the chicken fried steak.)

The service was great! It was our first time trying it and we are Aggie parents with a son attending school here, so we like to find new, non-chain restaurants when we come in to town for a visit. The fig and cheese appetizer was so good! My shrimp was good and my son really liked his bison burger. We will be back! read more

Marfa's has a great patio where our guests could include their dog. Great food and great service! We will be back.

I read some of the reviews and decided to try it out. We had dinner on Saturday night here. The place has a lot of noice. So we sad at the back. The water was server with no ice. That should have given me a glue. The chicken fried steak came with burn potatoes instead of French fried. The chicken fried steak was average but the potatoes needed to be sent back. The service was good. But I will ask for French fries. Do not know if I would return. Too many other good restaurant that offer chicken fried steak that is excellent. Price was above price for what you get. read more

From the strikingly cool neon sign outside the restaurant to the pop art displays and whimsical decor inside - this place has a buzzing vibe and plenty of photo ops. We went with a group of 4 on a Friday night and got seated right away without a reservation. The cocktail list was fun and they arrived quickly. We ordered the virgie's stuffed eggs and the fig & goat starters. Both I would order again. Between the four of us, we tried the ribeye, the big rib, and the HUGE portion of pistachio chicken fried steak with jalapeño gravy. We all argued that our choice was the best choice after sharing bites all around. Also, shout out to their crushed potatoes which the server swore to us was baked not fried. You should definitely try these taters! We were much too full for dessert but I can't wait to go back. read more

Update: We visited again and thought that maybe we'd give the board another shot. It was so, so, so disappointing. The drinks here are so good. When I saw the board and that it was $25, I mistakenly thought they might have upgraded it since last time. Nope. Four slices of prosciutto, grocery store sandwich quality cheddar and pepper jack, and a small wedge of Brie. The menu says "meats," but there was only one type of meat. If they had a good board, we would go here all the time because drinks and a cheese and charcuterie board are such a winner. There are great options at other places around town that are this price or less, so I know it is not a crazy dream!! read more
