Best fish on and near the lake! I have eaten here several times in the past year. I always get their fish with salad bar. Sometimes, I'll eat their beans or chili with cornbread. The salad bar is your standard stuff. It tastes fresh and I love the onion vinaigrette dressing. I absolutely love their fish. At first, I was just getting it when I didn't have any luck on the lake. I soon grew to like it better than my own. Which is saying something since I've been eating it my entire life (45 yrs). The baked potatoes and fries are good but who cares once you got a plate full on fish? They always give me hush puppies but I never have room for them. With the salad bar, it will really fill your belly. I always have left overs and boy, can I eat! The atmosphere is kinda lacking but it seems to fit in okay with the clientele. Service is great! Staff is friendly and super helpful. It's SO much better than ochoas down the road! The bathrooms and front of house are always super clean. If you're really hungry, eat here! read more

Marcos and staff very attentive! Seating is quick even on busy days. Served up a nice Steak flame grilled! The food is perfectly seasoned and served hot! Nice salad bar! Love the old western indoor dining experience. Family friendly and whether it's just you and a spouse or a friends night out, you won't be disappointed in my friends here. Awesome team! read more

Great lunch. Everything was so food. Burger and chili cheese dog best ever. The fries not frozen but fresh and perfect. Bean soup bar and Blue Bell Icecream free with meal. Soup 2 kinds and corn bread were well seasoned and very homemade. Ice cream 3 different flavors topped off a good meal for a low price for all you get. Wish I lived closer. Service rates a perfect 5 too. read more

Had the liver & onions with green beans. The entire meal was flavorless. The onions were very thick & tough. Will not return. Feel a little bad for the staff. They were friendly & attentive, but not enough to make me want to eat this slop. read more

Best chicken fried steak around! Great service too. Nice and clean also! I always leave with a happy tummy!

Southern food cafe. Consistency good. Not great but good! Friendly staff. I've been several times and have no complaints.

Stopped here for a quick meal with two kids. It wasn't quick. Very short handed. The buffet was just so-so. Thank God for the beans. We waited forever for kids meals of a corn dog and chicken strips. Probably waited over 30 minutes for their food, which was not even hot when it came out. Won't go back. read more

We went to this restaurant at 820 pm. two people. I noticed the salad bar was stilll fully stocked. the door says closed at 9 pm. An older gentleman came up and said were closed. I said what time do you close. he said 820 pm. I said the sign says 9 pm. We left even though 4-5 couples we're still eating. I've eaten here many times before never had a problem. I don't know what the issue was but it wasn't us. we weren't rude and we're very well dressed read more

Literally the worst place I have ever dinned at with my friends no service till at least 15minutes later and just ignores us and sits on her phone at the register when she's the only one serving the whole dinner when she could be taking orders read more

Ole' West Bean & Burger - Bread with mold on the bottom - American Near Me - Malakoff, Texas

After frequenting the Mabank location we tried Malakoff as it's closer to home. Unfortunately, I was severely unimpressed. The food was cold like it had sat out for a while. The center of mashed potatoes were literally still cold from the ice box. read more

Fresh salad bar and daily soup. They also offer pretty decent grilled and fried chicken and steaks. Not fancy, but super clean inside, fresh food. Pretty good for a little restaurant in such a tiny town. read more

New burger place near our lake Home. Limited restaurant selection, so we were glad to see a new prospect. This was our second visit. Decided not to review after the 1st time b/c we both had chicken fried steak off the senior menu. Senior menu is a plus here b/c it's rather pricey. Entrees & sandwiches included soup & bean bar , as well as Blue Bell ice cream for desert ( self serve) Dinners were $10-$15 The chicken fried steak portion was large & mashed potatoes & green beans the same. It was the kind of CFS we don't like, tough & too much gristle. You don't know unless you try.... Since their name has "burger" in it, thought it only fair to try a burger before yelping. Today had a burger basket w/ water & BF had bean & soup bar w/ a root beer. Burger was a 3 1/2, fries were soggy, yuk. Beans & soup were pretty good. $7.95 for a burger basket. Total for the basket, bean bar & one soft drink w tip $18.75. Too high for lunch in Malakoff, especially given what was eaten. The catfish did look good but because it was way more than other local food catfish, I won't be trying it. Compliments to the friendly attentive waitress though. read more

Ultimate burger is soooo good. Good hometown country food and service. We are big fans...and free ice cream.

Great food and friendly staff. Try the pork chops, they were great.

First time here, great food, reasonable prices, very clean, and friendly staff. I got the salad and bean bar, fresh veggies and the pinto beans n corn bread was delicious. I will definitely be back to try a burger and fried green tomatoes. read more

It's a convenient local spot. Wish they made their burgers from scratch and I wish they didn't make their tea with tap water. Service is good and friendly. read more

Have been here several times and always had chicken fried steak. It was very good. They have a seafood buffet on Friday. We have it a try tonight. Was not disappointed. Started out with some good sized boiled shrimp and cocktail sauce, then a bowl of sausage and shrimp gumbo with okra. Finished off with corn on the Cobb, fried catfish and crab cake. Everything was excellent. We will be going back for sure. read more

Great burgers and staff is overall friendly. My main issue is they only serve Pepsi products. Who drinks Pepsi??? Please at least keep some canned Diet Cokes and regular Cokes for the majority of us who prefer the Real thing! read more

Great place for good food and good service. Kid friendly family place. Lots of extras for your meal, great bread pudding and cobbler too.

I thought I'd go and try the food here, heard it was good. Well, not pleased at all. I've had better fast food and service for a restaurant was terrible. I won't be trying again. I called and tried to speak with someone in charge and I was left on hold. How convenient that they couldn't speak to a customer on the phone. Also, to pricey for the quality of food they serve. read more

Compared to the Mabank Bean & Burger, the malakoff location has a much smaller menu and selection of items. Service was slow at 3 pm on a Saturday afternoon, as there was only one person waiting tables. She was attentive though, given the situation. I ordered a burger basket which was ok. It was served hot and tasted fresh. Although I live in Trinidad, I will drive to the Mabank location, whenever I am craving Bean and Burger. It's just a better overall experience. read more

Ok, burger. Fries were cold. Don't think, I'll be back especially since it's out of the way.

Hands down amazing service on a Friday morning. Let us in 10 min before they opened Even though we didn't mind waiting outside. Everyone and food was phenomenal. Thank you for a great experience!! read more

Service was great. Everyone was very nice and friendly. The waitress made sure we never ran out of water. Our food came out piping hot and was delicious - frog legs were amazing, it's a must try! Definitely will be back next time I'm in the area. read more

No stars for this one. 12 of us went. 4 of us ordered their baked potato meal. All were ice cold, not hot or even warm. When i got mine i stuck my finger in it to check if it was cold. It was. I pointed it out, took the foil off h said just microwave it for a minute. Reply was " our microwave isn't that good". Can back from the oven ok. Apologizes all over the place & we were tokd they'll take off the potatoes. They didn't. On top of this the a/c was broke & we overheard the help commenting the owner was too cheap to fix it. Temp that day was °107. DON'T DINE HERE! I won't be going back....... read more
