    Beer was about the only thing good.
    Dan W.

    I stopped in after driving past this location for years. I chose to sit at the bar, expecting better service, but I was completely mistaken. The place has an old-style interior, and even though the 6 PM crowd was small, the bar server was nowhere to be found. A staff member handling phone orders ended up taking my order. When my food finally came out, it was handed to me in a takeout bag--and that's when I was told that the area I was seated in was for takeout only. It would've been helpful to know that before they let me order. I was then directed to the other bar area, where I received zero service until I was already finishing my meal. Only then did someone ask how everything was. The food itself was good, but having to eat it out of a Styrofoam box instead of a plate really took away from the experience. No salt, no pepper, no butter--no service at all. This visit was such a disappointment that I won't be returning. If you plan to sit at the bar, make sure you're seated in the correct area, because no one here will tell you. Unfortunately, this was the worst dining experience I've had at this restaurant.

    Side salad

    After a day of thrifting we were hungry & thirsty. Great HH 2-7 let the #Tiki triathlon continue, dine,drink,shop, tiki hubby and I shared catfish shrimp okra & a side salad. 2 catfish filets in a crispy cornmeal coating and 4 large butterflied shrimp in a crisp very light coating. Not one bad bite and we still took home leftovers, even with sharing. And enjoyed a$6.00 Old Fashioned. Food was good hot and fresh. The place is decorated in a western motif with lots of deer heads watching while you enjoy your meal. Great service by Azra. Will come back again.

    Solid place with anold west vibe. CFS is ama,ing. Tender and flavorful. Gravy is smooth and peppery. Server was cute and on point. Definitely will be back.

    fried okra and cowboy beans yum

    Well let me just say... Texas did NOT disappoint Prairie House is the real deal -- top-tier food, fantastic service, and an atmosphere that just feels right. The music was on point, the vibe was perfect, and honey... that fried okra and Cowboy Beans? YEEESSS. The steaks OMG!!!! I came in with my service dog (who behaved better than most humans ). She sat quietly right by my side like the well-behaved lady she is. Now that's how you run a Texas establishment. A+++++ from this very happy girl

    Fried pickles and sandwich

    We have tried food here twice and continue to be disappointed. It is too salty and doesn't seem like it is freshly made. It felt like frozen food which had been reheated. It was edible but not memorable. The atmosphere is very dark

    Peach cobbler
    Gracie L.

    This is a very well decorated rustic bbq place. The brisket was almost dry but the smoke flavor was great! Potato salad very creamy and delicious. Coleslaw was nice and cold and just amount of flavoring. The beans were great! Finished with the peach cobbler. It was room temperature served with cold ice cream so you didn't get the full effect of the cobbler. Super sweet. Will have to come back and try the breakfast.

    It was supposed to be onion strings.   They looked more like fried shrimp
    Susie M.

    My steak was delicious and the Service was good, although we did have to request water refills and we were never asked about drink refills. The huge disappointment was the onion strings. See the picture. But only were they not strings they were not crispy or very flavorful. I will not order them again.

    We wanted something that is local to the area and prairie house was recommended. The restaurant is typical rustic dining with older tools and signs on the walls. Outside has a selection of old tractors and farm equipment. We had grilled pork chops with cowboy beans and cole slaw and cowboy quesadiilla. Our drinks were a classic margaritas and a Texas Bluebonnet. We enjoyed everything. The margaritas were very well made. We had peach cobbler for dessert. The service was great. Our server answered our questions about the menu and offered suggestions.

    Chicken fried steak is as good as it gets. Always a good variety of vegetables to go with. Never disappoints

    Stumbled upon their food truck yesterday hidden behind some auto care centers in Little Elm. Was…read morenot disappointed. Their loaded potatoes were enormous with generous portions of bbq. The combo sparerib and sausage plate was equally delicious. I would absolutely seek them out again without hesitation. A great local business that deserves more attention.

    Based on Google and Facebook searches only, I came across Lettuce Turnip and, with very few reviews…read moreacross several social media platforms, I took a chance on using them for a big birthday party celebration. I primarily went with them because their prices were reasonable. To my delight (really everyone's delight), it turned out to be an excellent decision. I'll start with food. Both the meats and sides were so good. On top of the taste, the quality and presentation of the food was top notch. Everyone loved everything and we received many inquiries on the caterer. I ordered: - brisket - sausage - pulled pork - string beans - Mac and cheese - baked beans Service I'll start by saying that I was only able to get them to prepare the food since they'd already committed to servicing a major pickleball tournament. Basically, this meant that I had to pick it up from them after they worked thru the night to prepare it. This wasn't a problem for me since they were nice enough to squeeze me in. Throughout the process, I was really impressed with how responsive, helpful, friendly, down to earth, and reassuring Pam (primary contact) was as I had many questions and concerns along way. I had never coordinated catering before and didn't know anything about them. Conclusion I consider Lettuce Turnip to be somewhat of an upstart since I believe they've only been officially in business less than 2 years. All in all, I really enjoyed working with Pam, I loved their food, and they're the kind of business I like to support. They're certainly top of my list next time I wanna do an event with BBQ. I see great things in their future. Thanks so much, Pam! You made me look good!!
