Pineapple dole whip.. wtf?! Waste of money. Not worth it!!
Mary T.

Coming in with no expectations because I know poke places on the mainland would be nothing like it is in hawaii. With that being said it was still pretty disappointing. Overpriced. Overpriced. Overpriced!!! I should have just known to say nevermind i no longer want to eat here and run when I saw they gave my husband a small PINCH (not even exaggerating) of seaweed salad... and when he asked for a little more they said 'it would be a dollar upcharge" a dollar for another small pinch???? Wow. Cmon! Anyway, the place is similar to like subway, u can order specialty Bowls that have already been created or you can build your own and add what you want / don't want. I tried the yuzu salmon, the salmon was ok. I opt for the heavy seasoning, but it still lacked flavor. White rice was a little undercooked. Brown rice was very undercooked. They gave very little amount of fish. My husband built his own bowl. Tuna wasn't fresh. Again no flavor. And even for a " large" bowl.. there wasn't much fish. I get places charge extra for things but... it was def over priced and not worth the amount given, not even close. I also got the pineapple dole whip ice cream... it was completely melted when they handed it to me. When I asked if they could remake it ? Or something? The worker just shrugged her shoulder and said 'the machine is down. U get whet u get' are u kidding me? Also, if u, as a worker knew the machine is down..when a customer orders it.. why don't you let the customer know???? So the customer can l3t u know.. I don't want a melted what is suppose to be ice cream!! Sure, there aren't many options for poke in the area.. so maybe if you're REALLY craving poke and need to kill the craving .. go for it. See for yourself. But I personally wouldn't recommend it.

Ate here for the first time with my kids. I will not be boased because I'm from Hawaii and the poke here will never taste or look like what I'm used to. With that being said, my son and I did find it being pretty delicious in it's own way. They serve the poke like it's subways where you choose your type of fish, sauces, etc. overall flavorful and for a decent price. My son and I ordered the Spicy Ahi bowl and we were impressed. Again, not like Hawaii, but delicious nonetheless. We also ordered the garlic spam musubi and it was pretty delicious, but quite pricey for such a small item. Will definitely be back to checkout the other choices. Plus, they have drinks also from Hawaii so it's pretty awesome.

This was my large bowl from today w/ a few extras added on.

I love coming here- the food is delicious & fresh. I usually come a few times a week. My only problem is that there seems to be a pretty big discrepancy on how they fill the bowls. I always mobile order a large & add on extras as I can usually get two meals out of it, however a handful of times lately I've been getting barely filled bowls. It seems they tend to skip on the toppings when it's to-go orders rather than when they're building it in front of you. I'm not normally much of a review writer, however, I LOVE this place and it's been a bit frustrating to pay $18-$21 (after tip) to receive something not very full.

This is the second poke location within College Station that I have had the pleasure of visiting, and by far it is the better of the two. The former was not bad, but Pokeworks has much fresher ingredients and varied options that make it a very clear victor. The poke bowl I ordered had rice, salmon, ahi tuna, your standard poke bowl. Then, you get mix ins, which I promoted for sea weed (highly recommended), edamame, and corn. The next process is picking a sauce. Frankly, all of them seem fantastic, but I opted for one of the umami sauces and I will tell you it was fantastic. One of the best parts is that they ask whether you would like a light, heavy, or medium amount of sauce. I will tell you that medium is a great balance of coating the toppings and getting some nice rice in with it. But if you really want some of their great sauce, opt for a heavy pump. Regardless, I also got kimchi, sliced nori, garlic, and horseradish wasabi. Despite being a bit heavy on the wasabi, it was still fantastic and all was wonderfully balanced. All of that is to say that every ingredient was perfectly fresh and great for me. Especially the fish. People were complaining about a lack of fresh ingredients before, but as of October of 2021 it seems they have fixed this issue. The only single gripe I could possibly have is, as I said, the wasabi was a bit much, but even then it was fine and it did not unbalance the bowl and ruin everything else. Another great thing to mention is their three selections of tea! I tried both the Rose Hibuscus and Mandarin Cadamium and they were both fantastic! My personal favorite is the Mandarin, but I am sure all three are great. They are all sweet, and if you do not want anything crazy like that they have a nice black sweet tea that you would normally see around in Texas. Overall, the teas are nice, and I look forwards to trying a dessert next in the future. As a first time visitor, I have a very high view of this restaurant. The insides were very clean, as were the bathrooms (a great sign for every restaurant is clean bathrooms) and the general atmosphere of the entire inside was very bright and colorful. Getting my food was easy, and the staff were so easy to work with, though a bit timid- but that's alright. I greatly look forward to coming back in the future after my evening classes to grab some great food and hang out in the wonderful area surrounding it. As a small tip, they have an app! And if you download their Pokeworks app, you will get 5$ off your first bowl! So if you're looking for a new poke place to try in the area that's close to Campus (very close to the Zachary building actually), then I highly recommend downloading the app and headed down to Pokeworks. You will not regret it.

Can't get enough of this place!! The food is so fresh, the service is always amazing, the ingredient layout is always so freshly stocked and clean! Payton is my favorite server she's always knowledgeable about all the ingredients and sauces and the Dole pineapple soft serve is so good and refreshing, and the only place in town to get it.

The works!! Love all the toppings!

Was okay but I've had better. The flavors are a little bland and over priced in my opinion.

I was SO EXCITED to find out that there is a Cookshack in College Station!…read more We stopped here for lunch on a Sunday before heading home. We were BLOWN AWAY by the number of college students, dressed in their Sunday's best, openly praying over their food before enjoying some awesome chicken. It was SO NICE TO SEE! We ordered a family meal (20 pieces), 2 sides of fries and a chicken sandwich meal. We paid around $40. Great value! The food came out quick and arrived hot and fresh. I had a slight "issue" where I thought my chicken wasn't fully cooked and the manager reassured me that it was just breading but happily remade my sandwich to give me peace of mind. I REALLY appreciated that. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, literally leaving "not a fry left behind." The size of my chicken on the sandwich was HUGE- had to be hanging off the roll by 2" on each side! Staff were phenomenal. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Love the laid back decor. Plenty of seating inside and some tables outdoors as well. Definitely recommend!

The Cookshack has a different vibe and feels more like a lunch or dinner spot, while Mess is the perfect breakfast place. Alright, who am I reviewing again? Right. The Cookshack has some great options, and my wife and I went for the Chicken & Waffles. I chose the hottest seasoning they had--pretty sure it was ghost pepper--and yeah, it was spicy but didn't make me miserable. There was a lot of food, and it definitely filled us up. My wife got mac n cheese with hers and really enjoyed every bite. The cashier was nice and attentive. The atmosphere is great for a lunch or dinner date. Plus, they have large booths, which we really appreciate.

If you worship at the Altar of Sourdough, I have found the Gates of Bread Heaven…read more I have sourdough across this Land from Florida to California and THIS is the best flavored sourdough I have ever had in my decades of eating. The crust has a chew to it that is firm but gives way soon enough after biting. What it gives way to is a crumb that is soft, textured and smells like a double dose of sourdough yeast. The starter is at least 25 years old and boy howdy, it really packs a punch. So much so, I asked an employee there if they sold starter. I would have bought some to use and grow at home. Enough about their star item ... let's go over the lunch I enjoyed there yesterday (15May26, got a free cookie on their birthday). I had their Crawfish Mac and Cheese in a bread bowl. The pasta was curly and cooked al-dente, as any pasta should be. The pieces of crawfish had a slight, very slight dusting of bread crumbs on them that added a nice texture to the forkful of pasta and creamy cheesiness that is a hallmark of mac n cheese. Needless to say, I managed to finish the contents of the bowl (the plug of bread removed is also served) and about half of the wonderful bread bowl before forcing myself to just stop. The remains were dutifully doggie bagged and brought with me as a snack to be enjoyed on the drive home. I will be in College Station many times over the next four years and when there, Blue Baker is definitely on my list of places to get great bread and a good lunch. There are three in Aggieland, so try them all if you are nearby. Ciao, Darrell
