Our 9 year old got the classic cafe burger and it was also huge and delicious and those FRIES... We also got the Texas Two Step which is slices of jalapeño and onions deep fried... sooo good!

We walked in at 7:15pm to find 6 other tables without food, 2 servers (1 was doing all the work)…read moreand 3 people in the kitchen prepping food. It took 7 minutes to bring us menus and take our drink order. When the drinks finally came 5 minutes later, it was short the request of lemons. Then it took another 12 minutes to take our order of which we were informed that they were out of the "some" food and did not have the daily special today. We ordered what we always get: Crispy Chicken House Salad with extra Ranch and Biscuits N Gravy with Bacon and 2 fried egg whites. At the top of the hour our food came to the table and much to my surprise, the huge biscuits that the red star used to have have been replaced with ping-pong ball sized biscuits..... cut in half and served with water gravy, not creamed gravy, and three very burnt pieces of bacon, not crispy, but burnt. And of course, the egg whites which were fine. When I attempted to cut the biscuits with a fork knife, you could not cut through them because they were old and stale and not heated at all. I told the waitress that I couldn't even cut my biscuits and that they were old she took my plate and had them remake my meal. So while my beloved ate his food, I was waiting for mine. When my second plate came, it had three biscuits cut in half way more gravy egg whites were great bacon was undercooked. And I sent it back to be cooked to crispy not burnt. When I cut into the biscuits, this time, half of them were edible. The others were still old and stale and uncuttable. The gravy was not your grandma's gravy like it used to be and the flavor didn't even resemble gravy. As for my beloved salad, he said that the ranch dressing was not their normal ranch dressing. It was watered down and sweet like they had used miracle whip. And they did not bring his breakfast burrito to go. The waitress completely forgot to place that order. I don't know what has happened to the Red Star, this used to be our favorite place to eat when we came to town. Wondering if ownership or management has changed? Because this is not the Red Star we know in love.

Small restaurant, interesting decor, great super polite service…read more I had the smothered hamburger- two gigantic juicy patties smothered in a a great sauce. Hope had the egg breakfast (they have all day breakfast), it came with awesome fluffy biscuits and gravy. Great place to eat if traveling through here! It's also near a water tower with a star, short walk to stretch your legs if you've been in the road a while.

This place has been there a while and always has customers we thought we'd give it a try. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable! The restaurant was clean. It has a diner feel, nothing fancy but just right. They have daily specials but the prices overall are very reasonable. They have a simple salad bar which was included in our meals and we enjoyed it. I had the chicken fried steak w mashed potatoes. It was fresh, not from frozen. And really good! I got the gravy on the side as I expected to take home leftovers. The mashed potatoes were a large portion and very tasty. The fold was also fresh and warm and very good. My husband had the fried pork chop w a baked potato. He really enjoyed his too. We left with a ton of leftovers. I ordered my son a chicken strips and fries to go and he really enjoyed it all too! It's great home cooking that's reasonably priced. Totally worth going!

I had driven by this place several times before I finally stopped for dinner with my family. I wish…read moreI had done so sooner! The food is simple, but almost flawlessly executed. The menu leans heavily toward comfort food classics like meatloaf, lasagna, and shepherds pie, but lighter options like a chicken ceasar salad were also available. The desserts were definitely the highlight of our meal. Like the other menu items, the dessert portions are HUGE. My daughter and I split a piece of coconut cream pie, and we still didn't finish it. An amazing view, rustic atmosphere, and wonderful service rounded out the experience. If you're passing through the area, don't miss this place! I can't figure out why it wasn't packed to the gills.

We got the meatloaf, king ranch chicken, two teas and one desert and it cost us $54. And for that price we got served on flimsy paper plates with plastic forks. The food was less than average. We didn't finish our food and declined a to go plate. The cheddar biscuits had no flavor and were not warm. For desert ,we got the apple "crisp" which was not crisp at all. It was very mushy. Thank goodness we got ice cream with it. I am posting a picture of the Apple crisp. There is certainly a lot going on there. We stopped on The Junk Store (as they call it) and the sign was correct. We were not impressed and will not be back. To answer your response, the words "delicious" and "great" never left our lips.

In fairness they told us it would be a wait, but we chose to stay anyway. Once it got there, Our breakfast was very average. The scrambled eggs were more just broken eggs on the griddle than they were truly scrambled. The biscuits and gravy were ok, but once again not great. The really good thing was the pancake, which was delicious. It was not a horrible experience but I'd probably try someplace else before I'd come back here.

The restaurant is set inside an old train car, which is just really cool and different. The hamburgers are always spot on -- juicy and full of flavor -- and I can't pass up the Reuben. It's perfectly toasted with plenty of meat and just tastes great every single time. The service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the stop even better. It's become a tradition for us, and it never disappoints. If you're anywhere near Brownwood, it's definitely worth pulling off the road for.

I heard this was a great burger place so I stopped on my way through Wichita Falls, Texas. When I…read morewent inside, I knew it was going to be an interesting experience. The place looks like it has been around for quite a while. The smell of a grill that's been used for many years is pervasive. But not in a bad way. And signage shows that this has been a beloved place for many years. I got the double meat cheeseburger and because I couldn't decide, I got a half basket of onion rings, which was 3 onion rings, and a half basket of French fries, also a root beer. I was the first person there when they opened. But within a couple of minutes, there were 2 others that from their conversation had been going there since the beginning of time. LOL. The cheeseburger was good, a little dry, but tasty. The onion rings were great. The fries were a little burnt unfortunately. The service was quite good. I'm glad I stopped just to hear about the history of the place from the 2 old-timers who were eating next to me.
