I love a good old fashion tradition chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and okra and great lemonade. The coffee has been the best for morning also. Another favorite is the waffle sandwich for breakfast . U can't go wrong with ordering the homestyle potatoes with any meal. I've lived here for 26 yrs and I still need to try other items on the menu but I keep repeating on ordering the same thing. read more

Another great breakfast, thank you Peacocks!! Best place in town. Food and Service A++++ read more

This is the place to be for a wonderful breakfast! Food was spot on and the waitress was efficient and intuitive. Recommend highly!

Gloves could/should be worn, especially when preparing food and putting salad in bins.

This was a really good burrito, went crazy style with the sour cream and salsa. Devoured it. The service was good, drink stayed full. That's not very common. Next keyword is Ambiance, bro we just eat. But it was nice or whatever. Eat here burrito! read more

Peacock's Restaurant - 12" Burrito - Sausage added potatoes and did raw onions - Comfort Food Near Me - Stephenville, Texas

We came here due to it being highly rated. Unfortunately it did not live up to expectations. We arrived and were greeted, seated, and had our orders taken. We then proceed to sit and sip our drinks for an hour. There was never an explanation as to the delay. The place was full of patrons and not a single plate of food was present. When we finally decided to pay for our drinks and leave there was no apology or explanation offered. It seemed like there might have been a large carry out order being made. But that is only a guess. We hope that others have a different experience. But we will not be returning. read more

The service was grate and the pancakes were just perfect except for the bacon it was good just a little to crunchy

Open 24 hours. Service is very polite and they care what they put out and if customers are happy. We ate here twice as we visited stephenville for a concert at EECU. We were entertained while sitting at the bar top by watching the 2 line cooks work the grills like an orchestra. Pancakes are amazing. We also had the breakfast burrito and it was really well done. read more

Love this place! We dine here a lot when in town visiting our son. The scramble for breakfast is the best I've found anywhere. The staff are awesome and the tables are cozy. read more

The food was great and Rachel was our service. They got a rush when we first got there but she made sure to check on us. Would definitely eat here again!! read more

Still the best place to go for a meal when it's 3:00 am in the morning. Can't go wrong here.

Amazing service. Great food. Please note... My expectations were set appropriately for the 24 hour diner.

We come here at least twice a week. It's my dad's favorite place, and we enjoy it as well. Great pancakes! And when Kate is here, she knows exactly what we order, super nice to have a great waitress like her. And the others are great too! read more

Peacock's Restaurant - My fav is the two eggs with sausage patty, I get it with the home fries, toast, and a single pancake. Their coffee is great too! - Comfort Food Near Me - Stephenville, Texas

Our breakfast was good and the service is ok. We will give it another chance. Everyone has a bad day.

If you want a Great breakfast, Peacock's restaurant is the place to go. The service was excellent! The food was ordered and delivered in a timely manner. The amount of food is excellent, for the price. We had the breakfast burrito and breakfast tacos. I will be back next time I'm in the area and have no problem giving 5 stars! When in Stephenville and you want breakfast, go to Peacock's. Go get Full read more

If you find yourself in Stephenville on Sunday morning (or anytime) and in need of a sit-down meal, The Peacock (established 1973) will do, especially if you have a softspot for classic American roadside diners. It's open 24/7 and serves a typical diner breakfast at all hours. The nostalgia factor is high here, with all vintage hallmarks intact, from the retro signage to the vinyl booths to the motel-adjacent location. Food is meh, I can't lie, mostly straight from the Sysco truck as far as we could tell, but it's clear that folks from all walks of life love this spot. We saw several cute families in for brunch after church, cowboys in from work on the ranch, little league players fresh from a game, and Tarleton State college kids hanging out. People watching was the most entertaining thing about the place. We were starving when we arrived, having driven across town to eat at a different highly rated place that wound up being closed for vacation of the owners (wah!). My hangry was breaking through and every little mistep was extra annoying at this point, not good for Peacock's assessment to come. We had to wait a few minutes for a table to open up, then were seated at a booth in the back. We could watch the cooks behind the counter from our table and they were busy bees, fixing orders for a full restaurant as well as many call-in and walk-up take out orders. Our waitress (the only one on duty?) came over right away to take a drink order and drop off the menus. We made our selections quickly but it was a while before she returned to take our food orders. She left before I could taste my drink and discover it was the wrong beverage. She never made eye contact or returned to our table again until our food came out 45 minutes later - wah! I ordered huevos rancheros. When it was delivered, the top was covered with cold, pre-shredded cheese straight from the bag. Ya know, the kind with added starch to prevent the shreds from sticking? It seems they have no heat lamps over the waiting plates, so the food gets cold as it sits and any cheese toppings do not melt. I was too hungry to care at this point. Eggs weren't half-bad, even if served over charro beans instead of having refried on the side. The hashbrowns were clearly straight out of the freezer bag, barely crisped. Too bad! read more

Food and service was amazing will be returning again. The waitress was very attentive and the food was full of flavor and tasty.

We arrived at 9:15 PM and they have just finished servicing a big group of either high school seniors or college age kids so I get it. They were recovering. However, there's no excuse for my order taking 30 minutes to arrive, and the chicken fried chicken was literally smothered with 12 ounces of gravy, and to make things worse the chicken was processed, battered, and then frozen - disgusting Like what you get in at the grocery store. The green beans were fresh I think, but have been cooked down to a mush. The mashed potatoes may have been fresh, but I couldn't tell because the plate was flooded with gravy. The sweet elderly lady noticed my apathy and asked if there was a problem, but I was too tired to let her know. It's not her fault. She was tipped well. I can't believe all the great reviews because my experience was probably the worst meal. I've ordered in a long time and it was overpriced. read more

FIRST and last visit ! Four of us went into this restaurant on Labor Day. They were super busy so I expected the food to come out hot with a high turnover. Rate. we had to wait about 12 minutes to get seated. It's a seat your own. We sat in the back corner and it was so loud in this place that the waitress couldn't hear half of our orders And when I placed my order for a hamburger and onion rings, I specifically asked that the onion rings come out hot and she was like WHAT? I said I want them to be hot and she said yeah they're fried. They'll come out hot. She was a bit snippy. We all ordered coffee. We waited a long time for breakfast and as I said, they were busy so not unexpected but because of the wait, I really expected my onion rings to be hot. We had to ask for coffee multiple times we also had to ask for cream for two in the party. When the food arrived, my burger was hot and good. My onion rings were barely and I mean barely lukewarm. it took a while to get the food so the idea of sending them back didn't sit well with me because they didn't get my order right in the first place. how do you cook up a fresh hamburger but the onion rings are barely cooked. This is a timing issue in the kitchen. It just shows a lack of coordination in the kitchen. at $16 for a simple hamburger and onion rings ..... for a meal I only ate 1/2 of. Everyone else had breakfast. The Bill and my hamburger for four people came to 74 bucks... imo that's outrageously expensive for 3 breakfast foods. So we paid 74.00 for breakfast food and a simple burger . We had to keep asking for coffee. The waitress basically dropped our food at the table and disappeared, so I thought I would take my onion rings home and refry them. I asked her for a to go box when she dropped off the check. She NEVER EVER brought the box to our table. so we left without the box paid the bill and personally I think this place is substandard and expensive with poor service. Better service and food at Greers In my opinion. With the price of skyrocketing food.... restaurants who want to stay in business need to do better..this place needs to do better... and clean up the parking lot trash. read more

My Winner for Best Biscuits and gravy! Three light, fluffy biscuits and huge bowl of steaming gravy, perfectly balanced with sausage and precisely the right thickness, priced at ONLY $6.00!!! And courteously served within literally, SECONDS, after my order! So come in and enjoy the ambiance of pure central Texas: very popular among the local ranchers and their hands! read more

The food was delicious, and it was perfectly prepared. We did takeout and it was ready when they told us it would be. They gave us everything we needed in our takeout bag. read more

First visit was interesting I guess. I have family that loves coming here but I was not impressed. Our waitress was slow, but still very attentive. The food was so disappointing. I got french toast with bacon & eggs. Pretty simple. The eggs were so bland. Pretty sure they just pour it from a carton, as they kind of taste like cardboard. The bacon was sooooo salty that I barely choked down one piece. I didn't really get to eat my french toast because even though they're a breakfast place, THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE REAL SYRUP!! I was given a little thing of Smuckers "Breakfast syrup" which is just High Fructose Corn Syrup & artificial flavors. I asked the waitress for real syrup and she said they only carry the fake stuff. $14 + tip for bland, artificial food. No thanks. read more

Went to peacock to have lunch on January 1st. What a mistake. The young lady that waited on us had a bad attitude from the beginning. She did not get the order correct when she took it it should have been two hamburger steak plates with the sides we received one it wasn't even correct we asked for no gravy on it and got gravy she put another order in after we were about to leave and then still charges $32 for the 1 hamburger steak plus a salad yeah but the salad should have been on the side I should have got the order right in the first place read more

Giving 5 stars to offset some senseless reviews. Otherwise, I'd give at least 4. Always good. Hard to get a seat sometimes. Service good. Very happy that the city supports local business instead of corporations. Wish all these people would support Jake & Dorothy's as much. Unfortunately, Stephenville is becoming corporate business establishment like any large city, killing local businesses and the hometown feel. Sad... read more

Had a combo of eggs, bacon & pancake all hot & tasty. Husband had the breakfast tacos w. taco meat & the seasoning was good & tortillas had a nice brown on them from the grill. Biscuits & gravy were peppery (as I like it). Staff was attentive & friendly. read more

General dinner food. It's alright, like Dennys. End of story. Couldn't recommend. Probably decent breakfast like all breakfast places.

Did a Father's Day breakfast here. Thought it would be packed full with a long wait but they got us in almost immediately. Open kitchen concept which I think is cool. You will not leave hungry. I had the 2 eggs bf and waffle. Hash browns came out crispy which is just how I like um. The only downfall was we were fighting with flies while we ate. But I would still recommend it! read more

What can they do to improve?!? Take the Chicken Fried Steak off the menu. Period. Waitstaff, was amazing. How God 's green Earth does mystery meat quality as cube steak? Ahhh, friggin' embarrassing. read more

Not that impressive. We came in on a Monday at 11:30 and all of the seats were full. That didn't seem like a big deal, so we waited for a few minutes, then grabbed a seat. The server was unfriendly, slow, and inattentive. We had to flag her down multiple times for refills and napkins while she just kept walking past our table in a bored daze. The guy bussing tables was cool though and refilled our glasses once and asked how we were. He deserved the tip, not the waitress. The prices were ok, but the worst thing was the wait. We ordered eggs and pancakes and a burger and fries at 11:35. We didn't get our food until 12:50. The waitress didn't seem to even care, comment on it, smile or look us in the eye. Terrible service. Terrible wait. Good food. Great Bus Guy. Might try again, but I hope the our particular server has a better day and their cooks pick up the dang pace. 2.5 stars. Jake and Dorothy's is so much better, by the way. read more

Excellent quaint place! Hometown and personable. Friendly service, great breakfast selections! Will definitely be back!

The place was packed!!!! Sat at the counter watching the chef cook like a mad woman. Food took awhile, but was worth the wait. Look at the orders lined up in the picture. I had beef stew and cornbread. It was delicious. Just like homemade. Packed with potatoes, carrots, corn and lots of very tender beef. Hubby had a ham and cheese omelette with hash browns and toast. It too was delicious. Great little diner. Will definitely visit again next time we are in Steph read more

I got burned jalapeño burger we missed out our salad. Requested for no pickles but they put tons of it. I tried to eat it but it's really not for human read more

I have eaten breakfast for 20 + years and was shocked today. Normally it is $9.70 with no coffee. Today it was $15.70 !!!! $6.00 more!!! The only difference is they changed the menu for eggs and hamburger. This is ridiculous!!!! Be careful what you order and check the price. I have paid $9.70 for years. I don't mind price increases but they should be reasonable!!! This is tough on a senior citizen with only social security for income. I think Linda should have told me. Guess I won't order that anymore !! read more

An absolute gem! Food is outstanding, service is friendly and welcoming. Was there for both dinner and breakfast the next day. And I gotta say, mask is optional it is a breath of fresh air. Let me choose what I think is best for me. I don't give many 5 stars for a reason. When I do, I mean it. read more

Our second night in town we were told about Fuzzy's taco shop being a good spot to eat. When we drove over there we saw the outdoor patio was packed and didn't feel like dealing with a crowd. So I yelped spots near there and Peacock's came up, with a few decent ratings that helped us choose quickly. We got inside and were greeted and had the choice of any table or booth, there were only a few other groups dining in so there was plenty of room. I like how you can see the kitchen and cooks right at the front too. I ordered the jalapeno burger, and was a little annoyed that it comes with no sides. You have to order french fries or something else for a few dollars extra. A burger should at LEAST come with fries, come on now! Boyfriend had the omelette with taco meat, his meal came with toast and a choice of hash browns or grits. Service was great, our food came out quick and I loved watching the main chef whip everything together. My burger was great in every way. The beef was almost crumbling it was so fresh and the veggies and jalapeno bun were delicious. This thing was huge, I cut it in half and my bf still had to finish almost on of those halves! Somehow we were lured into a piece of chocolate meringue pie. It was a chocolate pudding with a rich, almost dark chocolate taste. Then a regular flour crust at the bottom that was flaky and tasted homemade. We will be back here before we leave I'm sure, but can't give 5 stars because of the no side situation. I would if that wasn't the case though, this place serves up great tasting food. read more
