THIS PLACE!!! The Food is TOP Quality! The service was AWESOME! The Ambiance was inviting and Texan feeling Absolutely Nothing bad to say about this place ~ it's worth the DRIVE! Just happened to be local for TX2K Race and had the pleasure to eat here with the T1 Race Development team and racers. Live north of Dallas but the hour Drive to this place is well worth it!

Burnt ends
Carolina E.

For this area this is probably one of the best places but if you compare the prices to spots in Dallas this is definitely a "bottom shelf restaurant". We ordered burnt ends. They were a little overcooked. The flavor was great they had a sweet bbq sauce that was fantastic. We thought to ourselves, it's starting out OK. We ordered a queso, it was velveeta queso... for ~$12 I'm expecting an actual queso. We said- maybe it will get better?!? Forty something minutes later we get our food. I ordered lamb chops. Taste was decent and it had a sauce but the sauce was pretty watery. I had a side of Mac and cheese (no flavor, velveeta was that you making an appearance again?!?). I also had a baked potato which was fine. My husband shared a New York strip medium rare. Part of it came out completely rare. Overall, this is a solid 3/5. There are signs hyping up this restaurant leading up to it saying it's the best steakhouse in Ennis but I think it's the only one in Ennis. . Somehow our meal came out to $100. For this same price there are places comparable in price that are one million times better.

Live music
Nikki L.

Holy He**!!! Steakhouse wise HIDDEN GEM! Krista was the server and her personality and personable was 10/10! But the food I am convinced God put his hands on this food! The smoked wagyu ribeye wagyu filet and Big rib plate with 2 sides which are Mac and cheese and Brussel sprouts and nothing disappointed! Cocktails their infused whiskey sour and regular drinks are reasonably priced the ambiance is rustic and fun! They're a bar after 10 and had live music on this Saturday night! Anyone within an hour drive (this was my commute) must try this place! ASAP! Best place I've had in the country as of now at 35.

Wagyu Tomahawk
Jaimie R.

Absolutely delicious! BEST steak in Texas! We split the Wagyu Tomahawk which was phenomenal! Highly recommend the Blanton's flight as well! The atmosphere and ambiance is laid back, warm, and welcoming. What a unique and delectable experience! Waitress was wonderful as well. We will DEFINITELY be back!

I tried the waygu ribeye. It was good but nothing special. Certainly not worth $49. Food is good, just overpriced.

Good food, good service. Bartender was friendly, steak was good. Think their idea of sear and mine are a bit different. But good.

Two years sgo, we had been on a country drive and the summer sun was getting ready to take a…read morenosedive. We were looking for a restaurant that was still open. Ennis is far enough from home to warrant dining out, but small towns including Ennis, often close up as early as 8 p.m. We happened upon Bailey's Cafe as a popular option and still open after 8. Bailey's has a terrific menu modestly priced with something for everyone, but my eyes were drawn to the fried catfish. We found ourselves there again the other evening and I ordered catfish again! I asked for lemon, ranch for my okra and some pickled jalapeño to eat with the catfish all over again. This time Bailey's had no pickled jalapeño, but they did offer sliced raw. The catfish was still tender and delicious as before and still AYCE, but it is plenty with two sides from the many they offer. My husband had CFS last time, an enormous thing. This outing he opted for for the fried chicken sandwich with onion rings - an absolutely huge sandwich. I started laughing. It turned out to be the Chicken Fried Chicken Sandwich. He kept it. But it was big! Everything was delicious. Service is polite and friendly with a houseful of locals in to dine. My catfish was $14.99 and I had dessert for $3.50, a personal caramel bundt cake. My husband had pie for $3.50. They have one unisex restroom, clean but tight. There are a few booths and mostly tables and chairs in the Texana decor dining room. It's a private parking lot and easy to get to south of downtown Ennis. I'm sure we'll back! I have posted photos from our previous visit 2 years ago with the existing patio and exterior, the CFS dinner and my catfish, and the dining room.

Amazing food! I highly recommend this place for your next meal. Everyone was so nice and…read moreaccommodating

The moment you walk in, you're greeted with the look and feel of true authenticity. There are two dining areas, and we chose the street-side patio. Here's something I've never seen before: they have a section on the menu specifically labeled "Tex-Mex"! Our waiter, Enrique from Ecuador, was amazing. The chips were fresh, hot, and crispy. They brought out two salsas--one was your classic red, and the other was a warm salsa that was absolutely divine. We finished both! We ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and the Camarones Momia (bacon-wrapped shrimp stuffed with cheese and jalapeños). Hands down, the most flavorful I've ever had. Everything was piping hot and delicious. We ended with a flan for dessert that easily made our Top 5 list. Comfortable, delicious, and amazing. And get this--it's only 1.2 miles from our home. That could be a problem!! Highly recommended!

The waitress was all over the place. We ordered the jalapeños poppers and she never brought us some plates to share. Ok whatever. My thing is when you order your appetizer you'll let them know what you're ordering. Well she didn't. If anything she forgot we were here for 10 min. Even after making eye contact with my husband who was asking her to come over. There was 6 employees jsut chilling and talking to the side. I felt annoyed. I was so closed to leaving. I get you guys are slow but just because there's no one besides us, doesn't give you the reason to take your sweet time to come attend us. We were expecting a quick lunch. The jalapeno poppers weren't too bad. Kinda spicy with chicken inside. But I wish they had cheese as well. We ordered the poblano enchiladas and the Santa Clara enchiladas. They both were ok. The Santa Clara ones felt like they were a big on the salty side but the poblano ones weren't too bad. They both came with rice and frijoles Charos. Beans came with tortilla chips on top. The rice wasn't too bad. Overall, umm 3.8/5, the waitress didn't seem very welcoming or attentive. (Also, bathroom didn't have soap)

Breakfast was very delicious! I had eggs, bacon, hash browns, and a pancake. My wife had pancakes…read more The pancakes were so big that she couldn't finish them. I'd highly recommend eating there!

We were ready for some awesome BBQ. I ordered the 2-meat plate (brisket and ribs) with two sides for $18.99. When the tray arrived, I was surprised to see only three small slices of brisket and two ribs. The brisket was dry, with little flavor. The ribs were unlike any I've had before--tough, full of cartilage, and difficult to eat. The sides were the highlight: the fried okra was cooked to perfection, and the green beans were well-seasoned. Unfortunately, they didn't have cobbler. Our waitress explained, "We only have it when the owner's daughter-in-law makes it." Honestly, that should be a special, not something printed on the menu. We came in with high expectations but left disappointed--so much so that I didn't even bother taking pictures of the food. Next time, I'll just stop in Corsicana and eat at Bubba's. Sorry I deleted all pictures except the two of The Duke. I wasn't going to review but I changed my mind. Even though I have no pictures, trust me!
