Even…read morethough this is a chain restaurant I have to say that it has always been great from the food all the way to the staff each restaurant that I visited in different states has been awesome. We went for a late lunch early dinner yesterday and was seated immediately. Waiter Andrew was amazing and very friendly. We ordered Burgers, steaks, chicken fried chicken, salads, appetizers, drinks and everything was delivered at the right time. We were served the appetizers and were given plenty of time to enjoy them before our main course arrived. Our drinks were kept filled and dirty dishes were cleaned up immediately after use. Now on to the food, We started off with a cactus blossom that was fried perfectly, serve piping hot with amazing Cajun sauce. We also ordered a appetizer combo that included boneless buffalo wings, tater skins and fried pickles. This was served with ranch dressing and everything was delicious. So for our main courses we had two sirloins and grilled shrimp plates, one steak and rib plate, one classic burger plate, and one country fried chicken plate. Sirloin and grilled shrimp was amazing. Steak was cooked perfectly to medium and the shrimps were nice and juicy. The steak we had topped with mushrooms and onions and this meal was served with a side salad topped with ranch dressing and a loaded baked potato. The sides were pretty amazing as well and we're a nice compliment to the meal. Sirloin and grilled shrimp number 2 was also amazing. This steak was cooked well done and was just as enjoyable as the first plate. For the sides it was also a loaded baked potato and mixed Steam vegetables. Sirloin and ribs was the next entree ordered and the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare was delicious didn't have any gristle or much fat to it. The ribs are indeed fall off the bone and we're very tasty. As for the sides loaded mashed potatoes and a bowl of chili was requested. The only negative about this meal was the loaded mashed potatoes. They were really dry and did not taste very good. The chili on the other hand was absolutely delicious. Country fried chicken was child approved! It was served with an absolutely delicious brown gravy on top and it was fried perfectly crispy. As for the sides there was a salad and loaded french fries. All American cheeseburger was cooked perfectly well done without being too dry. It included American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and onion. It was served on a Texas size bun. This comes with steak fries that we upgraded to loaded fries. This definitely was a juicy thick Burger that tasted fresh and amazing. We also had the legend margaritas and wow they really are legendary. These were definitely strong Margaritas filled with three different types of Patron vodka. I do have to give a shout out to our waiter Andrew. He was very kind very helpful and very patient taking our very large order. He delivered our food in a timely manner and kept our drinks filled. ***** FYI to the person who left a negative review and has claimed to been eating at this restaurant for 25 years stop lying. This restaurant hasn't even been open that long!!!!!

So many energetic, friendly, happy people working here - why is the service so slow and…read moreinaccurate???? Bad management! Seemingly always crowded, good (not great!) food. The appetizer arrives after the meal, drink refills slow or never happen. Sometimes waiting a very long time to be seated (3 people), even when there is nobody else waiting. Ask 3 times (2 different people) for mayo with the burger - it doesn't arrive. Seems like the issue is with the cooks not reading the orders correctly and everyone else scrambling to fix the mistakes and thus too busy to do their real job, waiting effectively on their tables! Bad management.

While traveling for work, I was looking for a place that felt uniquely Longview, and The Butcher…read moreShop & Bakery was exactly what I was hoping to find. The restaurant was busy with families enjoying dinner, and the back room was completely booked for what looked like a birthday party. It's the kind of place that immediately feels like a community staple. The menu is full of American classics, and I went with the spicy cheeseburger. Overall, it was really good. My only minor complaint was that the jalapeños were sliced a little thick, so they kept slipping out of the burger. One thing I loved was the old-school condiment bar where you can customize your burger just the way you like it. After dinner, I couldn't pass up the bakery case. The cookies, cakes, and pies all looked fantastic. The employee recommended the Heathen Cookie, so I grabbed one along with a lemon icebox cookie to enjoy later. I always appreciate finding local restaurants that are clearly supported by the community, and this is one of those places. If you find yourself in Longview, The Butcher Shop & Bakery is well worth a visit for both the food and the hometown atmosphere.

We stopped in on Thursday around 5:30 p.m. hoping to grab some salted caramel cookies, but they were sold out. So my husband ordered three Heath cookies and three white chocolate macadamia nut cookies instead. When the employee handed us our order, there was only one white chocolate macadamia nut cookie. My husband politely let her know that he had ordered three. Instead of simply saying, "Oops, let me fix that," she immediately argued that he had only asked for one. When he asked for the other two cookies, she gave us an obvious attitude. I honestly don't understand why. It's not like we were asking for free cookies--we paid for the other two. Maybe she was annoyed that she had to ring them up separately, but regardless, that isn't how customers should be treated. We stayed polite the entire time. We didn't raise our voices or give her any attitude back. It was disappointing to be treated that way over such a simple mistake. Experiences like this leave a bad impression, and my husband said that was the last time he'll shop at this location. The really disappointing part is that they make some damn good cookies. It's a shame that great products are being overshadowed by poor customer service.

My husband challenged me to find somewhere new, and Yelp led us to Fat Boyzzz in Longview, TX. I'll be honest--I'm not usually a soul food fan, so I wasn't especially excited about trying it. But my husband had been craving some good soul food for a while, so we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant had excellent ratings and reviews, but I was still a little skeptical. When we arrived, the place was packed, which is usually a good sign. Thankfully, we were seated right away. Our waitress let us know upfront that there would be about a 30-minute wait for the food. Our first interaction with her was a little rough--she seemed stressed and was somewhat abrupt while taking our order. My husband was initially put off, but he was determined to get his soul food fix. Now, whenever I see grilled liver and onions with brown gravy on a menu, that's what I'm ordering. I'm a Luby's girl through and through, and until today, I would've said nobody does liver and onions better than Luby's. Fat Boyzzz changed my mind. The liver was sliced a little thinner and wasn't quite as tender, but the flavor more than made up for it. Every bite was absolutely delicious. And that's not even the best part. The mashed potatoes and brown gravy were phenomenal--rich, flavorful, and pure comfort food. My husband ordered the fried pork chops with mashed potatoes and cream gravy. The entire meal, all he could talk about was those mashed potatoes. Between bites, he'd keep saying, "These mashed potatoes are AWESOME! This gravy tastes just like my Naw-Naw's gravy!" My husband is a big, burly guy with a deep voice, and hearing him repeatedly praise the food while happily devouring his plate was entertaining all by itself. This was truly food for the soul. We left full, happy, and completely comforted by a fantastic meal. Fat Boyzzz has definitely earned repeat customers in us, and we'll absolutely be back. Highly recommended!
