Food is excellent we go there often great atmosphere everyone is always nice and they have live music

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

The food was just ok. I order the two item bbq plate. Ribs and burnt end brisket Ribs were a bit overcooked and very much over sauced. Burnt ends were mostly fat, the little bit of meat was good. My wife had the prime rib, she ordered it rare rare, it came out medium rare. She said it was good, just a bit overcooked. The waitress was informative and able to answer our questions. She however cleared plates and napkins while we weee still eating. Restaurant was very clean and people were friendly. The removal of plate is the primary reason for the 2 stars. read more

Do not recommend this place at all. Sat there for a good amount of time waiting to be greeted at a table multiple servers looked at us knew we had been seated and never once came to greet us or take our order. A table got seated after us and was immediately greeted. Not a great place service wise. read more

Sat down quickly, waited 15 minutes and never had anyone come to our table. So we just left.

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. read more

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. read more

I took my bestie here for her bday at her request. The food was definitely not good. My bestie didn't eat anything. She had the catfish and shrimp platter. She said her fish tastes like it was fried in old grease. Her shrimp were soggy, half of mine were done the other half had raw batter on them. I didn't complain. My friend did and they could clearly see she didn't eat anything on her plate. They said nothing. Must be used to the negative feedback. Never again!! read more

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. read more

I recommend with a bit of hesitation. The brisket was dry but the BBQ sauce was on point. Bar didn't have some kind of juice for margaritas, so my friend couldn't partake in devils nectar. Sides were delicious. Service was definitely above average and very attentive. Ambiance was cool with an old school Texas type feel. Overall....definitely for the Caucasian race. We were the only black people there and it felt like we were definitely not welcome. Hope that changes, but I won't be going back to see. read more

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 read more

We were not greeted kindly at the door. Table was beat up and full of old food in the cracks. Nasty. Brisket was dry and hard. Homemade but average chicken fry. Prairie chicken was good. Kids burger was hard as a rock. We've driven by this place and always see cars loaded in the parking lot in the weekend but during the week it was almost empty. We won't be back. read more

Love this place I have never had a bad experience, if you're looking for a calm, good home cooked southern meal or even a good salad this is the place! And they have added outdoor live entertainment. I love the atmosphere it's calming and the service is always fast and friendly read more

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 read more

Had one of the best tasting pork chop dinners of my life from this location. And it was a to-go order which took me quite some time to get home and eat due to traffic, so I can't imagine how good it would have been eating it right away. The wait time for the order was not bad either. Looking forward to a repeat experience soon. read more

We have tried this place on 3 separate occasions and the last time was confirmation that their food was lacking in flavor and freshness. Our last food bill was $70 and it was expensive for 2 people. I ask my wife if she wants to go to Prairie House and she just laughs. We are pretty good cooks at home and if the food we pay someone to cook for us is not as good or better than we can cook we don't go back, that goes for this place! read more

We came for a nice lunch. The steaks were tiny but cooked well. The sides were all COLD! I asked the manager if the food was shipped in frozen and reheated for serving. Even the mashed potatoes and Mac & cheese were cold cold. Not like they sat a min. Cold through and through. Don't recommend at all. EDIT TO ADD The manager was rude and condescending. I will admit I was upset after first asking for fries that were not cold and then finding both "made from scratch" potatoes and Mac & cheese cold. I did not use any foul language at all. I only raised my voice when I was accused of mis treating the server which I never did. I asked for warm fries then the manager. Nothing more. When accused of the mistreatment I clearly stated to bring him over and ask him cause I never said anything to him at all. She was dismissive and rude and got the same behavior in return. read more

Love the food and atmosphere! The fried mushrooms are so yummy, as well as their beans and cornbread. But the steak, it's superb. They usually have an acoustic performer on the weekend nights, it's a great place to get a great meal for date night! read more

Delicious food and always great service. The Bandidos and Chicken fried steak are a couple of our favorites.

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Had lunch there for the first time in years. Was impressed with the improvement. Seems like everywhere i go, the food has come from frozen food out of a box or bag. Or from a can. Dinning rooms are nice enough, service was good. Fresh food would be good for a change. read more

We eat here once every week. The food is GOOD but I wouldn't say outstanding. The value for the $ is on point though. Haven't had anything I wouldn't order again. All of the servers are amazing. The ambiance can be hit or miss in my opinion. There are three sections to the establishment. The "door" room on the West, the middle section and the saloon on the East. Ask to sit in the saloon or the middle section. We aren't fans of the door room. If you haven't been, you must give it a try. read more

This is a great restaurant with a very professional, enthusiastic staff and excellent food. It was not a terribly busy night but the acoustics were great for conversation which we appreciated. I joined 3 friends for dinner this evening. All of them eat standard American food. I am a very strict plant eater. It is important to note I am the one who selected this restaurant. If there had not been some good choices for plant eaters, none of us would have been there. We all found exactly what we wanted on the menu and found it delicious. I am excited to discover this restaurant that accommodates everyone. Perhaps one of these days they will add the baked potatoes to their lunch menu and we will visit more often. read more

I have been to Prairie House many times, and the food and service has always been top notch. I don't know what happened tonight. Service was really slow. I think the server was new and still learning. Everyone needs and deserves an opportunity to learn. She was very nice. Once the dinners arrived, my steak was severally burnt. I took two bites, and was done. Every bite tasted like ash smells. I like my steaks medium, pink center but not bloody. I could not eat the steak. The food is the reason for the 2-star review. read more

Prairie House Restaurant - Burnt - Barbeque Near Me - Crossroads, Texas

Very neat restaurant, decorated and an old timey fashion. Service is awesome, and the chicken fried steak is great!

I have been going to Prairie House for many years. However it has been a while since my last visit. I was very disappointed. The service was unfriendly and slow. We ordered fried mushrooms and burn ends for starters. The mushrooms were slightly warm and dripping with oil. The burnt ends were cold and under cooked. We asked for them to be cooked more and they brought back a new order of cold under cooked meat. I ordered a medium rare steak, it came out medium and was so salty i could not eat it. My son, his first time there, ordered a BBQ platter. All of the meat was cold, the sweet potato waffel fries cold and limp. I don't know what happened to the place. For years it was always great food and service. I wondered why they weren't busy at noon on Father's Day, Now I Know. Will not be going back. read more

I've been a frequent customer and always enjoyed the food. Ambience is always nice. I recently visited and was a little surprised that a service dog was in the establishment. I am a dog lover and was a dog owner, but I do feel service dogs in a food establishment should be off limits. read more

First and last time coming here. In 3 hours our waitress NEVER came to our table to take our order. We tried to find someone inside to take our order which was like pulling teeth. They finally tried giving us our food an hour after ordering when the restaurant was closing, which we declined. The staff we did interact with were rude. I don't know what the deal was, the place was dead for it being a Saturday night. No excuse for the poor service or attitude. read more

I've been coming here since I was a child. It's still a staple with my parents, even now with me in my 30s. The fire kissed steaks are delicious, but the catfish is the stand-by for us, whether fried or grilled. I miss the days of the caddy for the baked potato toppings, but you can't have it all! Gotta be my favorite house salad at any restaurant so get. So glad this place is still around after all these years! read more

From our previous experiences in the past six months, the service was great, we ordered the ribeye which came out perfect the sides were not bad and the Sam and dinner was decent. Went on Wednesdays, where the wine bottles were priced. We chose this place because it's very convenient and so glad that the food was good. We will be back. They have improved by 80% from previous visits this year read more

Recently had my son's rehearsal dinner at this location. Pleasantly surprised by the job they did. Manager, Dina was helpful and professional. They let us come in early to decorate. The fajitas were excellent and plenty of food. Love the atmosphere which complimented our western themed rehearsal. Thanks for a memorable night wait staff and all who helped!! read more

Texas standards in an amusing atmosphere. Our server was very polite and efficient. Drink glasses are large, limiting the need for refills. Burger was average in flavor, brisket was above average, and the spinach salad was fresh and huge. Other portions were average. Floors are rather grungy and the primary reason to mark down this neighborhood gem. read more

Food and atmosphere was amazing and the band the Enablers were really great too. The food was spot on and our alcoholic beverages were amazing too. Service was good. We were in town visiting from SC for a business trip and this was definitely a great place to come eat, relax, and enjoy. read more

All of the food was served hot and delicious. Our server was helpful and attentive. Our party shared the fried pickles and the Bandidoos. We had the Fried Catfish with the Mac n cheese, the Sliced Brisket with Fried Okra, the huge Chicken Fried Steak Mashed Potatoes and I had the best Bison Burger ever with the Waffle Sweet Potato Fries. If you are a burger aficionado you want to go here. I did add bacon and I was very happy. read more

First time here, the wife ordered the brisket breakfast hash, and I has the huevos rancheros, both were very good service was quick and very nice server, the store decorations are a very nice time capsule, just a lot if construction going on in the area.
