South First Bar & Grill is a local favorite in downtown Lufkin. This fits the local small-town…read moreneighborhood bar to a T with the tables surrounded by all the tvs and a bar area with a stage next to it to boot. The bartenders and servers know all the locals which is evident every time me and my coworkers stop in here for happy hours or for dinner. They still give us the attention we need for drink refills and food orders. For drinks, it's mainly beer although they have hard liquor available here. I always stick with Miller Lite since it's cheap and they bring it out quick. As for food, it's mainly burgers and bar eats. The appetizers such as the wings, chips n queso, fried jalapenos, and pretzel bites w/ beer cheese are our favorites. Meanwhile, they do good burgers here which are a favorite amongst the team. Each day will have food specials such as half priced appetizers and $1 wings. Check the menu out for the full details. It's a great place to watch sports and grab drinks/eats or catch live music if it's available. This is part of our rotation whenever we're in Lufkin.

It's our favorite place to hang out with friends and listen to live music. Best wings in town and…read moredrink prices are great.

Keep in mind we had just ordered a LG 10 piece to split between us, but 9 other customers got their food before us. This was absolutely outrageous! Not only that, but after going up and asking about our order, the male "cook" in the back said we had ordered at 12:18 so "he was still in his time window". Obviously this is untrue, as we have the receipt showing our order time of 12:00 on it. Already losing our appetite, had to wait an extra 5 minutes to finally get our food at 12:31. All I can say is that this location has serious issues with customer service and will be reported. They do not deserve even the lowest star that you can rate them.

This is a solid 1 star review. The place was empty except…read morefor a table of two (should have been an obvious sighn). Server was nice but very timid. Was not impressed that I couldn't get what I wanted. I wanted the Mac & cheese balls - they were out and I got a explanation of how its a specific cheese thats used and is hard to find so they never have it to make them - ok take it off the menu if she never has it to serve. Disappointed. Next I wanted a cup of chicken gumbo. Server tells me "she hasn't told me if shes made it or not"...im sorry what? (As someone who served/bartended for 20 years, you always know what's available at the start of your shift). So now being very disappointed again, I settled with the Philly Cheese steak and fried pickles. My son ordered the wings and fried rice. My husband and daughter were going to split the seafood boil and we got her the chicken tenders with fries as a back up because shes been begging for a seafood boil and we wanted to treat her to one after her school musical. Let's cut to the food - mind you, nothing came out at the same time. It took far too long for the fried pickles to come out. They were VERY salty and extremely crunchy. (Over cooked). A good 15 minutes later came out the oysters for my husband. He liked them - nothing special. My sons rice was next, a good 20 minutes after the pickles. This was probably hands down the best thing they have on the menu! Then came his wings - he said they were good. They were definitely drowning in a hot sauce bath. Next thing to come out was my daughter's chicken strips with fries. She said it was ok. She only ate 1 chicken strip and a few fries. (She wanted the seafood boil!) Then came out the seafood boil. The #3 on the menu. Hubby pulled some crab out for our 8yo daughter to have the first bite. She chewed once and spot it out because her mouth was on fire. This led to tears of it being toooo spicy! Hubby took 2 bites and the same thing. He spit it out because it was too spicy. Extremely disappointed at this point. Then came my sandwich. Something simple, right? Nope, not for this place. Burnt bread - too hard to bite into. The sandwich was dry AF and the meat was over cooked. I had one bite and Hubby took one bite. We were not impressed by anything here. The server came to ask me about the food when I was going up to get our bill and pay. I told him it wasnt great and the seafood was too spicy. He stated he told the cook to not make it spicy since a kid would be eating it. I said "it was fu@!ing covered in seasoning". ((OH we were also sitting outside so the lighting wasnt tooo great)). So then, the cook/owner whatever lady asked me about it and I told her how it was. She said "I can rinse it off in the pot", I told her it was fine, we were done. She basically told me she didnt season it much and its how it is. Well, bish, yoir cooking is trash. And to top it, the other couple in there said and I quote "bro, can we get 2 waters? This is too spicy"....sooooooo shes over seasoning her chit, and over cooking easy stuff. My advice to the cook, maybe you should listen to the customers. We spent almost $130 on food plus $25 tip to the serve. He told me he couldn't do anything other than take the drinks off the bill. (Insert eye roll)... it wasnt about the money or getting anything for free. Its the cook/owner taking accountability and maybe just MAYBE apologize that you did in fact, over season the chit out of the food! Zero stars. Sadly I had to put one star to do this. Will not return or recommend to anyone. Good luck keeping that place open when you dont serve everything onto the menu, over season and have an empty restaurant at dinner time on top of having slow cook times. Also, all the food should go out at the same time.

Nice people & atmosphere. Here you pay, not cheap. But with…read moreprices being what they are now days, they have to make a living too. I love their Fried chicken & so do a lot of others. Sometimes I have to wait for them to make another batch of chicken. That's ok, it shows they don't have day old food sitting under lights all day. Their food is fresh, worth the money. It's first come first serve here. No playing favorites, & they take good care of you. They don't hurry you away to get to the next person. So your order is Always Right. Good Job!

Absolutely no flavor at all. We ordered 20 bone in - 10 bbq, 5 regular and 5 Buffalo. My son said that his bbq were good, but when I saw them, they were not tossed in the sauce, but it looked as if old school bbq sauce was poured on top of baked wings. Ok they were his, so if he liked them fine with me. I asked for 3 of my wings.... He brought me what I thought were the Buffalo ones.... They had NO FLAVOR OF ANY Kind!! Even the sauce in the bottom of the container was tasteless. No Flavor at all... I couldn't even try the plain they looked so bad!!! Now the celery had flavor.... Not celery flavor though... the carrots were good and the fries simply ok. What hurts so badly is that we are on a struck budget, and dealing with some family illness... this meal was a treat during a very difficult time. I will never go back to this location and honestly I am probably finished with the entire brand.
