I loved this place! We were at Franklin playing some baseball and found this on yelp. Great all you can eat chicken and catfish. Loved the jalapeño hush puppies. My family had the burgers and they were great. There were also the homemade pies and banana pudding. Yummy buttermilk pie and pudding! Staff was very friendly. Definitely recommend! read more

This place wasn't much to look at from the outside, but the food was delicious and the staff were very friendly. We were in town for a school event, and we will stop back by when we comeback next year! read more

New Baden General Store - We walked in what we quickly discovered as the back door, and found a scene straight out of Saw. Once we got inside, we felt much better. - New American Near Me - New Baden, Texas

Looks are deceiving! Visited the area for a softball tournament and there's not many options for lunch to choose from. At first glance, we thought, uh nope, but then around back it looked more inviting so we stopped. Service was great and everyone was friendly. Food was very good! Interior is nostalgic and you can tell there's not much money put in the upkeep but it gave it character. read more

Fried "catfish" had crispy crust but mushy fish - probably not catfish. Stick with the hamburgers.

Always crap shoot. Why have a drive thru when everytime one of us has to go in & light a fire under the windows staff. The last 3 week they forgot our order. 2 weeks ago fish was so old & chewy we didn't eat it. Next week my husband complained & it was hot & fresh. Tonight cold, tuff again. You call yourself Christians but you are fleeting your customers, the ones that use the drive is window by passing off cold tuff old fish. Shame on you. This was our last visit & ill share my experience with everyone. Save your money unless you can go inside & eat. read more

Went on the all you can eat catfish night. The catfish was pretty darn good, the fries and beans were ok. Just a very limited selection on food for a buffet. I would eat there again, just probably would order off the menu. read more

We've frequented Catfish Friday all you can eat, many times over the past few years, and it was good, but the last couple of times, the catfish was mushy, quality has slipped a little. We've been to Saturday steak night, steak was nothing to write home about. Hamburgers are really good! Service has always been relaxed, 90% self-service, which adds to the charm. Several times, we just tell the cashier what we had, because we didn't get a bill when we're ready to leave. That's all okay with me! Whenever we have guests, we have always brought them in to enjoy a meal at New Baden General Store. What's not okay with me, is when I come in with guests, I ask the waitress right up front to be sure and bring the bill to me, but then she ignores my repeated request and gives it to my guests!! How about, I keep my money, and you keep your catfish! read more

Came here during our break in between baseball, so glad we did! You walk back in time a bit with the decor but in the best way possible as I just loved it! BEST PICKLE CHIPS, they are fried to perfection and are actual pickle chips! We also ordered a BLT, Bacon Cheeseburger (was huge) and chicken fried chicken steak with a side of fries and onion rings! Nice hidden gem by Franklin Baseball fields which is where we spend a lot of weekends! Can't wait to work through this menu and get here for breakfast! Service was great, real homey feel! I felt like I was at my mom's house, excited to come back and we just left! read more

Returned today, had cheeseburger and fried okra, very good. Okra was lightly breaded, hot and crunchy. Cheeseburger cooked perfectly with fresh vegetables and bun, hot off the grill. A companion had steak fingers, they were so big she could only eat one, and said it was very good. read more

One of the best hamburgers I've had. Fresh ingredients and the meat was cooked to . Cook the old-fashioned way with lots of flavor. I'm happy that my daughter and her family live in Franklin so that I get a chance to eat there when I go to visit. read more

Wow! We go to Franklin annually for our son's baseball. We've tried different places to eat, including driving to Hearne. This beats all of those places. We were hesitant because the pictures mainly show fried food, but they have a very large menu, with lighter fare as well. Be sure to get an ice cream cone. The people are great. We had the BLT, burger and potato salad! They were each awesome! Don't let the exterior fool you . This is it! read more

Greta spot, great service, great food, rustic country vibe. Everything you want in a small town diner with country menu. Chicken fried, burgers, catfish on fridays! Get you some! read more

We've been coming to this place for a couple of years, my son has quite a few baseball tournaments in Franklin and we enjoy coming here after a great day at the fields. I actually can't believe I hadn't posted a review on this one before. Their burgers are AMAZING!!!! Probably the tastiest burgers I've ever had in my life, their chicken fried steak, and other options are pretty darn good too. You can also quench your thirst with their 32oz cup of sweet tea, and to top it off enjoy some blue bell ice cream for dessert. The staff is super friendly, and the place has cool memorabilia. When in Franklin there's no other place to be. Sorry no picture, I can't think on anything but getting my chumps on that burger. read more

I would definitely add 1 billion more stars atmosphere was very country and very welcoming. The ambience was nice very Christian. The service was amazing. The people there deserve a raise. The food was the best. I'm going to take like an hour nap. I had the best chicken strips. The baked potato was perfect. everything was so neatly tied together, and the food was fast depicting on how good it was and I cannot stop mentioning how much stars they are deserving one to five 1 million big reviewers definitely try this read more

The food is always always good and the service is great. It's a great place to enjoy your food.

I love their Friday Fish Fry, Burgers, Grilled Chicken Sandwiches and their Onion Rings!!

Had heard from several people that if you want Catfish this is the place to go. They were not wrong the fish was perfect ! Cut thin for those that like it crispy and thicker pieces for those who don't. Jalapeño and regular hush puppies, fries, coleslaw and chicken strips. On Friday evenings it's all you can eat and the price is right too. I definitely recommend this place. read more

Wonderful onion rings and burgers!! The fish on Friday is also great.. and all the sides are so good, I would love the recipe for the pinto beans, they taste perfect!!! Delicious everything .. I only wish the restaurant's hours would be open after 3pm during the week days, if so I would be able to eat there more often. read more

This place has not only great customer service but the food is AMAZING! Portion sizes were WOW, and will go back every opportunity I can.

Everything we've had has been great. Burgers, fried mushrooms, chicken fried steak all delicious. Super friendly staff.

This is our favorite Local place. We eat here 1-2 times a week! Great food, good people, and a relaxed environment for our two little girls. Their ribeye special on Saturday is the best around! read more

Wow! This is sone good stuff y'all. Southern comfort food all around. The reagents is not your average place, I absolutely loved it! We had the check fried chicken and it came with 2 seeded, did the fried okra and mash potatoes. Yummy! Y'all - don't let the cover fool you! This place is legit. Kids had the burgers - so good also! I also took a walk around the place to see some history and I learned a lot. It is situated in a 100+ year old church/general store/everything else. MUST TRY!! read more

Visiting family out at Camp Creek. Gram said to stop by The New Baden General Store for awesome burgers! I had the Patty Melt and my daughter had the cheeseburger. We shared the fried jalapeños. The burgers were big and cooked perfectly. The jalapeños had a good amount of heat with some ranch dressing to cool them down. And there's no better way to end a meal than with Blue Bell ice cream. We'll be back! read more

We are from another area and stopped because of the good reviews. We had a bacon cheeseburger and it was really good. The entrance is on the side so don't let the back of the building mis-lead you. We would go back again. I recommend the bacon cheeseburger. :) read more

REALLY good burgers and fries served up in a 1906 building made of handmade bricks. Be forewarned: these are monster burgers; the meat patty is 3/4 of an inch thick, and they don't skimp on the vegetables. Service is friendly and the atmosphere is definitely country. Looking forward to trying the CFS. Buffet and homemade pies, too. New expanded hours make it easier to catch them open when traveling. read more

New Baden General Store - Great burger! - New American Near Me - New Baden, Texas

Burgers are the best! One of our favorite local spots to grab a great meal as a family!

Probably the last time we go there. Service is declining. Hard to find good help nowadays i reckon waited 30 minutes in line for catfish. Finally came four people in front of us and at least 15 people behind us. Enough fish for the four people in front of us and four togo orders were filled. By this time appetite was gone so angry. love the catfish and burgers and atmosphere. read more

On our way through from Austin, decided to call in an order after reading a couple of reviews. What a great decision! I wish I had taken a picture of what we ordered. My husband had the bacon cheeseburger, I had the chicken fried steak sandwich, and we shared an order of onion rings. Everything was seasoned really well-the crust on the chicken fried steak reminded me of my mom's. Such a nice surprise! Thank you! read more

We found this place when going through from Tyler to Austin. The restaurant is in a quirky old building that we guessed had had several "lives." Very rustic! Picnic tables and paper towel rolls on the tables. We ordered burgers and patty melts, all hot and tasty! At least a third pound of beef on each sandwich. This is one of those places popular with locals, and several of them came up to us to talk while we were eating. As we were walking over for refills on our tea, we saw an older gentleman holding court at a table, looking like he owned the place. Well, he did! He motioned to us to talk with him, and he ended up showing us a picture album of what he had done to make the place a restaurant. If we are ever on Hwy. 79 going to Tyler again, we will certainly stop by this place another time. read more

Been coming here since the 80's. Love this place because of the memories and great food. My grandmother used to work here years ago and we would always come here for the fantastic hamburgers. I'm sure the other good is great but I always craved their burgers. Well worth the stop!! read more

Great food. Friendly staff. Reasonably priced. I wish the tables were not so big, but that's the only complaint I have.

Ok. You need to stop at this place even if it is just to come in and buy a soft drink. They also serve breakfast and lunch. They have a little bit of a convenience store and are also selling chips snacks ice cream. This is a great old building with wonderful architecture. read more
