The sides were a little less flavorful and I was disappointed. I ordered green beans, cabbage, red beans and yams. Yams were good. I'd order chicken and Mae my own sides.

OMG, what a wonderful find for my wife and myself as we were making our way back to Brenham from…read moreCrystal Beach. The cafeteria style option or having hamburgers brought to your table. What a great idea; my wife and I each opted for cheeseburgers I had french fries she had onion rings, both the fries and an onion rings are hand battered. my wife and I agreed that these are possibly the best hamburgers we have had in at least a year and a half. I'm not sure where they get their hamburger buns, but they are fantastic. Upon leaving the restaurant, we found out that my wife and the manager have common ties to Brenham in terms of having common friends in the BISD school district. The theme of the restaurant definitely teeters on the Texas A&M mystique; me being a so called Tea Sipper(University of Texas alum) I took it all in stride because I know of the Aggie traditions. Lots of artwork in the restaurant as well as on exterior walls, reflecting the Aggie culture; we will definitely keep this place in mind when we travel back-and-forth from the Port Bolivar Peninsula.

My daughter needs the recipe for the roast she actually asked me to call and ask for it haha and it's been 2 days since we've eaten there. She's still thinking about it.

Looking for a restaurant while staying at a nearby hotel, I was recommended Spank's…read more I gave it a try and so glad I did. The first thing I noticed was that the parking lot was full, so I parked in the back. I was seated right away and my server was there by the time I had a seat. When I tell you he was the perfect server, that's what I mean. Always handy, and right on time! He couldn't have been any better! The salad bar was fresh and delicious! I had the chicken fried steak (HUGE), loaded baked potato with baked beans There was enough food for two easily. The menu has something for everyone, I don't believe you can go wrong. This place has been around since 1989, and I see why they are still around! When in Orange, Texas go give them a try. Go get Full

The point is plentiful, delicious, so much to choose from and the customer service is next to none! The restaurant was filled with diverse patrons, the mood was set to great old school music. The only draw back is that they are not closer to my home town. I would be there daily! The price was $25/plate and worth every penny. We had enough to eat a full plate that night at home.

I love how they keep the place super cold in the summer because it gets real hot in Texas. Food: this is some of the best food I've had in a long time. The beef tips remind me of a lot of Burt's , meat bar in Houston, Texas, who shut down right after Covid. The beef tips over white rice is amazing. So tender and so good my God how can you make food this amazing? The macaroni and cheese is phenomenal as well. So were the candy yams. The cornbread is great.
