I visited this restaurant since I had a job site in this town, a town in which I had never even heard of before. They offer lunch specials everyday, as well as all day breakfast, homemade pies and cakes, and homemade soups. They offer mostly American food, but there are some Mexican dishes thrown in for good measure. Their menu is a good size and has several good sounding options, like King Ranch chicken, but I came for the chicken fried steak mainly since it was recommended by others. I chose fried okra and mac and cheese for my sides. Chicken fried steak - this is a good thick chicken fried steak that doesn't quite extend to the breading on 2 sides, but it does on the other 2 sides. There is an obscene amount of country gravy on it, not sure why. Mac n cheese - decent version made with processed cheese. It really sticks to your mouth though. Fried okra - this was pretty good actually and lightly salted and crunchy. Not uniform in size and I'd venture to say they were even fresh okra. Dessert - since they have homemade desserts, I had to order something. They have a wide selection of pies, cakes and tiger bars. Tiger bars are similar to the pies, but in the shape of a bar and with an additional reeces like topping. I just stuck with a simple banana cream pie. Ambiance here was actually fairly quiet during the weekday lunch hour for their 2 dining rooms they have. Only 1 customer other than myself in the front room with the register and cold case, and about half of the rear room was filled with customers. Banana cream pie - I don't eat many of these since they're not exactly healthy, but I do love bananas. I thought their banana cream tasted mostly artificial though. There were no chunks of bananas. The crust saa just okay too. Overall, a decent experience with decent friendly service. I would probably try something else next time...and a different dessert too. read more

Love this place their sandwiches are no joke though haha, very filling, tasty food. My family and I love coming here every so often.

The food and service were amazing. Everyone that helped us had a smile on their face and were very helpful and attentive.

Great burgers, chicken fried chicken and cheese cake! It's our place to eat when we are in Orange Grove. Always a treat!

Food good service horrible waited a hour for our food almost got up and walked out but then our food came horrible service

We have dined in and we have picked up at the drive thru window. During our dine in we had the chicken fried steak which was pretty good, good size as well. The sides are can sides but the chicken fried steak will make up for that deficiency. We have had the breakfast tacos which are a bit pricey but are of good size and well made. They offer homemade pies as well which that takes your visit to the next level. read more

The food was amazing and the service was great our waiter was amazing her name was Sarah and she was super nice.

I ordered a chocolate cream pie from Michael and Moms and needless to say it was beyond delicious. I will definitely make that drive when ordering another. read more

The porkchop and eggs were good. I thought it needed a little salt though. The tomatoes in the Picadillo were too cooked therefore mushy but not too bad in flavor. The egg over enchiladas was really good and the homemade green sauce was excellent. The homemade shredded hashbrowns were really good too. The desserts were excellent! FYI: The waitress wasn't excellent but not bad either and the menudo doesn't come with patas. I'm returning to taste the rest of the menu. read more

i'd hear good things about Michael and mom's homestyle food so I wanted to come try myself. Saturday night night I got here around eight and I was the third table. Options were King Ranch chicken or fried pork chops. I heard that king ranch chickenis a good meal generally,so I decided to order it, not knowing what it was. The waitress seem to think it was more like a chicken fried chicken so I ordered mashed potatoes, gravy, and, broccoli cheese casserole. Well it's more of a cheesy chicken thing and unfortunately it was too salty for me to really enjoy, but the mashed potatoes help even out the saltiness. Mashed potatoes and broccoli casserole were very good, I think I'll try the pork chops next time I'm here on a Saturday. I certainly will come back and may mention the saltiness to the chef, otherwise they may never know. It's 817 and they whipped out the Fabuloso mop and I don't think I can eat anymore. read more

Michael And Mom's Restaurant - King Ranch chicken - American Near Me - Orange Grove, Texas

A jewel in the middle of a dusty road in a small town, worth the 30-minute drive through rolling ranch land. Our party of four adults ordered chicken fried steaks, chicken and dumplings, enchiladas all with two of the many sides: tater tots, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, green beans, okra, Mac and cheese, pinto beans, Spanish rice, French fries, onion rings, broccoli/cheese casserole. Too many choices! Everything was hot, fresh and served simply in a battered, worn building. Service was decent and we had to get a slice of the many pies available for dessert. Price for four meals, drinks and four pie slices was $62.46 before tip. read more

We stopped here for breakfast on our way back from visiting Lake Corpus Christie State Park. This place is a must stop! I ordered the Cowboy Breakfast, and my husband got the Huevos Rancheros. The eggs were perfect, and they had delicious homemade tortillas. These meals hit all those comfort spots on a cold and rainy day. They also have an array of homemade pies and deserts. We took a slice of Buttermilk Pie and a piece of a chocolate mouse with cream cheese (not sure what it is called) with us to enjoy later. Looking at their display cases of desserts was so visually appealing that we couldn't help ourselves. Don't skip on this little gem! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I promise you will be happily surprised by the homemade dishes. read more

Scrumptious food! Amazing fluffy biscuits and corn bread. Service is excellent and desserts look soooo amazing ! Just a 15 minute drive away from Lake Corpus Christi camping grounds and DEFINITELY worth the travel for amazing food!! read more

Bought the Coconut cream pie, OMG amazing. Not only are the deserts beautiful they're awesome. If you love sweets s must stop for you

I stumbled upon this restaurant driving through Orange Grove and I am so glad I did. All homemade local American food served with a smile and boy was it all good. I had the lasagna lunch special that was big enough to serve 2 adults and a child. I drove out of my way the next day to try the quesadilla daily special and a slice of homemade pie. Reasonably priced at $11.00!! Big portions and family atmosphere. What a great place! read more

Well I do not come through this area often but after eating here I am sure I will make the trip back. Shayna our waitress was AMAZING. I would come back just to see her even if the food wasn't as good as it was. I judge all restaurants in service and this place is impressive. The homemade onion rings are very good and the burger was delicious. They also have a large selection of made from scratch desserts!! Ask for Shayna read more

Come on, this place can't be real! Chicken fried steaks that won't fit on the plate, bread pudding bigger than your head and all homestyle like your momma made it. Their menu reads like Sunday dinner at grandma's. Meatloaf, dumplings, liver, fried catfish and MORE! And in case you're wondering, it's all delicious. read more

Michael And Mom's Restaurant - Desert choices are an issue! - American Near Me - Orange Grove, Texas

I first ate here with a dear friend after helping her at her lake house. The food was memorable and the desserts were better than any I have ever had. I have since returned several times and have never been disappointed. The last time I had the King Ranch Chicken. I recommend it. The time before I had a dessert that was carrot cake and cheese cake confection. If I had known how good it was I would have bought the rest of that sinfully yummy cake. I wish it was closer to the Calallen area. I would let them serve me every meal of the day. These guys need more locations read more

Oh my goodness!!! If you want the real deal come to Michael and Mom's Restaurant!! Everything on the menu is homemade!! Nothing prefabbed about the food!! #83 The Swiss cheese and mushroom burger was delicious!! I highly recommend this restaurant!! 5 star food!!!! read more

Omg!! They have the best home cooked food around their homemade pies are the icing on the cake!!

Me and my family has eaten here plenty of times every now an then. And when they first open up it was so good, but years pass it has down graded, things won't change if the owners can set rules for the employees. Cuz The food isn't fresh, I received brown lettuce on my hamburger. Fries under cook. The store bought cakes an pies are over priced for one slice. Some of the servers are rude. Also we have notice the cooks in and out the building a lot smoking which I believe that's why the food takes so long. I'm pretty sure too they do not wash there hands neither. The employees shouldn't be taking out loud about their personal life! Very unprofessional read more

This is the first time I have ever left a review of any restaurant I have ever been to. I am a truck driver and have eaten in restaurants all over the country. If you are looking for good, home style food - THIS IS THE PLACE!!!!!!!!!! I have been on the road for a couple months now, and this was the best meal I have had since I left home. I had the #3 breakfast for dinner. Breakfast meals are traditionally smaller than say a meal from the dinner menu. Mine was so good, and I have a fairly large appetite, that I asked the waitress to bring me a second one. I cannot stress enough how much I enjoyed my meal. Thank you for it. read more

Food fabulous! Service fantastic! Desserts heavenly! We will be back!!!! Thanks for a great dining experience.

online they say they are a gluten free restaurant... waitress didn't even know what that was. def won't be going back

Stayed at lake Corpus Christi for the weekend and decided to check this place out for breakfast, and we are sure glad we did! I had the homemade pancake breakfast and my boyfriend enjoyed a simple egg/bacon/hash brown plate. The pancakes were to die for and you could definitely tell they were homemade, there's no faking that flavor. Our eggs were cooked perfectly, the coffee was delicious, and the employees were very friendly. I also saw an advertisement for their steak dinner and can't wait to come for that next time! read more

Came from Alice for my grandmother's birthday. The place is visibly clean. It started off ok with the service of our drinks. The waitress took are order down, there are six of us, and then took the ticket to the kitchen. 4 plates came out and two were cold. She then placed the ticket on the table so we asked where the other 2 plates were. She looked like a deer in headlights. Appears that the cook didn't prepare the whole order. So about 15 minutes after the 4 of us finished our food, the other plates came out. Waitress had to be called to refill our coffee. Food was bland with a somewhat frozen taste. The King Ranch casserole was not what we expected. The Angus burger was actually very delicious!I really expected more from this place based on what people have stated about it. Unfortunately, we will not be returning here. So sad because I am a strong supporter of small businesses. read more

Terrible service and food. After waiting 15 for our order to be taken and another 20+ for it to come in an essentially empty house, my grilled chicken sandwich came fried and his pork chops were like boot leather. If we hadnt been filthy and exhausted from moving all day we would've walked out. read more

Let's face it, there's not many choices in Orange Grove. So you can't be too picky I suppose. This place is less than stellar in the cleanliness department, and it took quite a while to get served, but the food is tasty. And it appears that they are hand making it, so more stars for that! The chicken fried chicken had a lot of batter on it and not so much chicken, but it was tasty. My hubs got the special, blackened catfish. It had no semblance of blackened seasoning, but it was delicious! I had food envy. The mashed potatoes were good and the green beans were too. The side salad was lackluster. All in all, a good meal. We'll be back. read more

One of the better places to eat in Orange Grove. Good fried chicken and baked goods. Friendly staff as well!

Small town awesomeness!!!! Great homemade food in casual kickback old storefront. Leave your Prada and Kors at home. Jeans and boots /flipflop kinda place, nothing fancy. Just 16 miles from Calallen. I had the homemade meat loaf with mac and cheese and real, lumpy mashed potatoes. Hubby had the large chix fried steak, the size of a dinner plate. Freshly breaded, nothing frozen!! Good gravy. Split a choc cream pie for dessert. Again homemade. Anything on menu available carryout. Extensive menu of home type meals -beef tips, king ranch chix, meatloaf, pork chops, liver; and many mex dishes daily lunch special for $6.49; nightly dinner specials from 5.49 to 12.99( all u can eat fried shrimp).
