    When traveling, Peg and I like to take the back roads; such was the case when we returned from a recent trip to Frisco. Before we left the hotel, I did a Yelp search and came across Miguel's. It interested me in that it had almost as many one-star reviews as fives. Never let it be said that we're not adventurous, so off we went. Before we went to the restaurant, we stopped for gas. We asked some locals what they thought and got basically the same answers as the reviews. We pulled up to find a teepee in the front of the property; no surprise, given the name of the town. Entering the restaurant was almost like entering an art museum--large and small woodcarvings abounded as well as photos, framed art and murals by Polly Reed, a local artist. I had noted in some reviews that the waitresses were somewhat less than friendly but that wasn't the case with us. Drinks, chips and salsa soon appeared and our order was taken: "Ladies' Special" for Peg and carne guisada for me. We munched on the chips and salsa and both of us agreed that we're had better. Evidently no effort was made to heat the chips and the salsa wasn't long on flavor; not horrible, just blah. During the abnormally long time we spent waiting for our food, we walked around taking a photo here and there. We returned to our seats and about twenty minutes later, the food appeared (total wait time of a little over thirty minutes). Both plates were lukewarm but seeing as our waitress had disappeared, we decided to eat as we were both famished. Neither of us was impressed with the food. Again, we both had certainly had worse but after a long drive, neither plate was satisfying. A bit of the salsa helped but unfortunately, not much. At least our bellies were full and there were no adverse reactions later in the day. So, I'll rate Miguel's in the middle with three stars. I have to say, after seeing a couple of burgers come out, we just may be temped to stop and try them. Time will tell.

    Kitschy and casual

    Decent little Mexican place. Loved that we all got our own little salsa bowls instead of having to share one and then beg for more. Especially given that service was slow and inattentive. The chips were cold and bland and the fajitas were nothing special but filling. We split the fajitas for one and were stuffed. Friends really liked the inexpensive lunch combos. FYI- No breakfast, and no black beans.

    Monterrey Dinner Plate

    So, first off, reading these other reviews I may have ordered the wrong thing as many reviews say their burgers are good. However I was in the mood for tex mex. Decided I should stop somewhere on my long drive back home and I ended up here. Salsa tasted like it came out of a jar but queso was pretty good. Monterrey plate had a taco which was just a normal taco and a burrito which was just a burrito. Server asked me if I wanted onions on my enchilada, and I said yes but man this thing was loaded with onions every bite way over the top. Rice was just rice and beans weren't my favorite. However, ground beef in all 3 had great flavor and the enchilada sauce was delicious. Not a bad spot to have lunch at. Good service as well!

    Chicken Fried Steak

    Food is very good. Portion size is huge. I had fried tamales and husband had chicken fried steak, both were excellent.

    Well, we haven't been here for 4 years until today. What I first described as 'kitschy' I must now say is just tacky. NOTHING has changed here. Just more clutter and paint chips off the walls. Food the same. Amber puddles of grease. Wait staff LOUD and intrusive. Next time we'll try The Harvest which is rated 5 stars by many people. This place is well past it's prime with no interest in improvement. Wish Anglo wait staff would STOP asking if everything was alright. It was NOT. Were we supposed to sit there and argue about what is wrong here? Everything here is wrong from the decor to the food to the staff. Particularly INSULTING photo shopped black and white photo of President Obama as you exit. I'm not Native American but the phony baloney 'Indian' decor is just terrible and insulting as well.

    My happy children after eating at Miguel's the first day we moved in. Thank you Michelle P.

    DELICIOUS! I actually heard about this place from a Reddit post about places to stop on a road trip…read moreacross Texas and I'm so glad I listened! It's home cooked food, calories-not-monitored, but worth every single bite. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I knew it was going to be good when we saw the parking lot was overflowing into the grass. Luckily there was still an open table inside and we were welcomed by the sweetest staff and our waitress was just as wonderful. So many things looked good on the menu, but I couldn't resist ending this road trip with another taste of chicken fried steak to compare to Mary's (and they can definitely compete because it was AWESOME)! We also tried the chicken fried chicken (delicious), sweet potato casserole (amazing), Mae's potato casserole (tasty), cheese sticks (good), and the hamburger and fries which was obviously delicious enough that my picky daughter almost finished it - which says a LOT! We were very glad that we'd ordered the "smaller portions" for lunch because it meant we could grab a few of the desserts to go to snack on for our final leg of the road trip and keep enjoying at home. We tried the toffee cake (incredible), peanut butter cake (sinfully good), and the coconut pie (very light and creamy)! We also snagged some items to take home with us from their coolers and I can 100% recommend their pork tamales and summer sausage. If you get the chance to stop here, you won't regret it at all! Delicious, great service, and good portions!

    Years ago, the Texas Bucket List TV show is what brought me to Mae's Meat Market. After all these…read moreyears, we are still coming here because the food is so good. We have tried several different burgers, the chicken fried steak, and the tacos. All have been just wonderful. Tonight, I had the steak fingers with grilled vegetables and steamed broccoli. The steak fingers were absolutely huge, and the grilled vegetables and steamed broccoli were just fantastic. Nothing is better than a steak finger dipped in a big old bowl of white homemade gravy! I was only able to eat half, so there was definitely leftovers. And since I was so full, that means dessert had to be to go. Most places now charge seven or eight dollars for a piece of cake. Here, you can still get a piece of cake for four dollars! Heck of a deal! If you're ever in Eastland Texas, I definitely recommend you give this place a try.
