As for the employees there's alot of ultimatums when it comes to the younger workers.

I don't wanna eat somewhere where mistreating someone because of their reasonable availability is not looked upon at ALL. Do better Dairy Queen and that goes for all managers even high up .

I had dropped off some material in the area; headed back into George West for lunch. I went in for shrimp which is in "lent" season, but also chose to get a spicy chicken breast. The fried shrimp weren't as impressive as say Popeye's offerings. Wasn't really a fan of the tartar sauce either. But, that chicken breast was SO juicy and flavorful. Chef stepped up to the front counter literally covered in flower; totally complimented him on the chicken. Can't remember a better fried breast in recent memory. Well done!

I said no, so he offered a biscuit or jalapeño in exchange, to which I accepted. He never gave it to me. I asked for ketchup. Out of ketchup. I get home and start eating. The tenders were tough and the breading fell right off. Ok, let me dip it in the white gravy. NOPE. Tasted and smelled like a chemical cleaner. So now I'm eating dry, bare tenders. No sauce, no flavor. The mashed potatoes were good. Thats it. Avoid this establishment at alllll costssss. Wish I could give it zero stars.

I plugged my next site in the gps and I seen Margie's near it. I was in the mood for fried chicken and I was not disappointed. Solid fried chicken and the jalapeño cheese curds are scrumptious. It may not look like much but don't judge a book by it's cover! read more

The carne guisada didn't really make me want seconds either. We had an attendant who was pregnant (didn't catch her name) and she was great. Never let our drinks bottom out and didn't let empty plates (there were only a couple) stay on the table long. There were some rude people in our area and she dealt with them pleasantly. There's no secret why Butter Churn has been around so long. It's really good home-style comfort food at a very reasonable price. Just ask to not be set next to the buffet section. People can really pile up plates there and it's sad to witness.
