I was down in Brownwood visiting my Dad and we decide to go out for a steak. The Section Hand Steakhouse doesnt look like all that much when you walk in but was heavenly once I ate the food. My pops got a chicken fried steak which was ok by Texas standard but I got a rib eye steak which was really tasty. It was cooked ot perfect medium rare and very tender. We aslso had a salad bar as part of the lunch deal and it was fantastic. Everything was fresh and their were salad, veggie, fruit, pasta salad, sides and dressing options that were all amazing. If you want a great steak and all the sides you should check out Section Hand Steakhouse! read more

Our first time here. Hubby had the fish and shrimp. He said shrimp was excellent, they were sweet and fried so crispy, the fish was ok and he loved the hush puppies. We both enjoyed the salad bar. I ordered the Scrimps, suposed to be steak and shrimp but there was no shrimp hidden under the burnt onions and peppers. Our waiter did a great job considering he had a ton of tables!!!! To top it off we split a piece of French silk pie, my favorite!!! It was superb!!!! Crust flaky, chocolate light as a feather. The prices were reasonable. read more

Dark. Damp. Felt like I was at a high pressure time share pitch. After a 10 minute spiel on how they prep their steaks and how great they are...I was underwhelmed. It was (as requested) mid-rare...and flavorless. Probably why they push the toppings. There may have been sides. Not memorable. Oh! The salad bar was great! Just get the salad bar. read more

At a quarter to 11 am I found a parking place right by the front door. There were several places available. I was greeted and seated immediately upon arrival. My server took my drink order right after sitting down. I ordered the Bacon Wrapped 7 oz Filet with a Baked Potato. The steak was juicy and delicious. The baked potato was excellent. I also was able to visit the salad bar since it came with the meal. They have a lot of dressings choices, more than most places. read more

Good home town cooking. big buffet and I see lots of friendly faces of people I've known throughout the years even though I no longer live in Brownwood. The food can be varying from great to okay but most don't always go for the quality of the food but more so for the quantity and ambiance and convenience. It's close to the hospital and the football stadium and most often we can get in and out within an hour with a big group. read more

The service is always excellent at Section Hand. Nice waitsaff and quick food prep. The salad bar is really good and the food is a great value. Both breakfast and lunch have always been good on my visits. read more

Worst experience EVER. Spent 32+ on a filet mignon and it was 4 different bacon wrapped tough pieces of beef. ABSOLUTELY NEVER AGAIN. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED read more

Good home style food. Reminds me a the places I are at as a youth in west Texas. The owner/manager came by twice when he heard it was my first visit. Waitress was very charming, a girl any Grandpa would be proud of. Great salad bar. If you want a home town style meal, I highly recommend. I had the sirloin for one and it was great and cooked to order. Good flavor. I'm going to come back and try the chicken fry and pecan pie! read more

Went to this place for the first time and I would definitely go back. We ordered the steak and it was tender and the food was good. It came hot which I really like it's a bit dated inside, but I kinda like the atmosphere all in all it was good service and good food. yes, I would go back. read more

We stopped here on the way back from Abilene for a late breakfast or in my wife's case an early lunch. I had chicken fried steak and eggs and she had chicken fried steak and baked potato and everything was really good, especially the gravy which was not out of a jar. My toast with butter and delicious! Our waitress was awesome and working really hard and called everybody "Hon'" and "Sweetie" and made sure everything was taken care of. My coffee was really weak and my hashbrowns were a little overcooked but I would definitely eat here again. I have heard the cobbler is awesome that we did not have room for any LOL.. Next time! read more

I will not hesitate to go back. They had a very generous sirloin steak special of the day that all four of us ordered. Pretty sure it as cooked on a flat grill and it was very tender and flavorful. They have a salad bar which is not fancy, but it is very fresh. Wait staff and front desk were very friendly. It's bigger than we expected from their website and google pics. read more

What a gem of a restaurant! Food was great! Sunday buffet is a must - sort of a meat & three. Potions were very generous and everything was delicious.

Would have never thought to try this place despite driving by and seeing a ton of patrons in the parking lot. So glad our family had us out for dinner. We loved the salad bar. They do a great job of keeping it tidy and restocked. The server was new but she did an outstanding job. We typically don't eat steak out since it's often overcooked for our liking or the cut is something left to be desired. Well not here. Our steak was big juicy and cooked to a perfect medium rare. It was truly the best steak I've ever had eating out. Yes we will be back and looking forward to bringing our friends and family with us. read more

This restaurant makes delicious comfort food and has an "at home" feel to it. The decorations were southern and cute. I would highly recommend for family style dining. Almost every meal comes with access to the salad bar and their rolls were delicious. I had fried catfish and it was crispy and well cooked. They seated us as soon as we walked in and our server was so kind. read more

Had lunch here while in town for work. The people I came with said that it had been their go to in town forever. Had the spicy jalapeño burger, it was delicious. The ambiance was nice and as expected for long standing county food restaurant. Server was friendly and attentive. read more

So far I've tried the bread and watermelon from the salad bar as a starter. They were both so bad that I didn't even want to try the rest of the salad bar. Real appetite killer. However, the water was crisp and smooth, very enjoyable, and the service was great. My main course was the club sandwich with a side of fries. The club sandwich was perfect, with great taste and not too filling. The fries complimented it perfectly, and were some of the best I've had in a long time. Overall I would say the salad bar is below average to average, but the main meal and service really make up for it. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very homey and I felt like I was at home. Definitely would come back. read more

I don't like to leave negative reviews because I know the restaurant business is challenging. Although, when yiu pay $28.00 for a 12 ounce ribeye it needs to be edible. Do better Section Hand. read more

Section Hand - a popular local Steak House that serves Brownwood residents and others some really good food. You just can't beat the lunch specials.And their To- Go order prices are even better. Today, I decided on having the 1 1/4 pound Sirloin To-Go for 2 for just under $20. The deal comes with Sirloin, 2 potatoes and 2 salad bars. As usual or steak was cooked to perfection, the potatoes were hot and salads are the best. Serving sizes are generous and they have a terrific friendly and knowledgeable staff. read more

Pulled up at 8:30, pulling 16 foot trailer and parked on the second row of a deserted lot(3 cars) . Sign said breakfast served until 10:30, I guess we'd miss the "rush". Hostess greeted us with"Do mea favor and park across the street, you're blocking our lot". In her defense she was pleasant enough in her tone, just not customer service savvy. So we moved all right, to Goldwaiit and had an amazing breakfast at La Hacienda. I'm sure a deserted cafe would never miss our 4 plates read more

My first time eating here. I used to eat at the only other local steakhouse (last few times the service was poor and the food was meh). I didn't know another existed till I had seen the billboard when I was passing through. The service was awesome and service is as important to me as the food! Caleb was my server. The steaks, ribeye and filet mignon, were tender and delicious! Prices are about the same as the other local steakhouse. We will be back. read more

The wife and I had business in Brownwood. We looked for a burger doodle at noon, bad idea, and remembered the Section Hand from when I was in Howard Payne. We were not disappointed! Good service, good portions, and great price. She enjoyed her fish plate, and my chicken fried steak was like grandma used to make. What a blessed experience! read more

Great food, disappearing waitress. Great salad bar!!! Food came faster than the drinks. Overall a decent dining experience.

We were greeted as soon as we stepped in. The staff were very friendly and accommodating! The place was fairly busy but our waitress was attentive. The salad bar had some good selections although ice burg lettuce was the only options for greens. Yuck! I was able to work around the lettuce and put together a different type of raw vegetable salad. The stew was amazing and the steaks were cooked nicely. Just a bit of pink without being to over or under done! I appreciated the available choice of sweet potato! It was cooked through without being burned! That is rare! I did not eat the rolls but another person in our party said they are very good! Very good, down home or Texas country style, cooking. I would almost want to say Southern comfort food! You can avoid gluten/wheat here and have some great choices at the same time! read more

Went on a Sunday morning, they were out of cream for your coffee. We had breakfast, the food was good nothing special.

Horrible like eating shoe leatherThe only thing that I liked was the salad barSo I do not recommend the chicken fried steak to anyone

Remember the old fashioned steak house your parents used to take you to? They all had that western look and brown paneling on the walls. And the food was good and plenty! Nowadays, steak houses are fancy smancy and have $$$$ next to their name. Great food that is no way in hell worth what you pay. Well, Section Hand fits in the first category. Yes, it looks OLD, cause it is. They served good food back then and they still do. A medium size salad bar that all the veggies were nice and fresh. Several different cold salads like my mom used to make. A chicken fry big enough and good enough to make you smile. And extra gravy of course! Locally owned, so give them a try. read more

Very spacious inside, our group reserved the back room for some privacy while celebrating my sister-in-law's college graduation. They place is very cozy and was festively decorated for the holidays. Our waitress, even though she was taking care of our large group, was quick to get drink orders and bring them out, and food as well. My husband and I had the special which was a 6oz steak, salad, a side and your choice or green beans or fried okra. We ordered our steak medium rare and it was cooked correctly but the quality of the meat, I wouldn't say was top-notch. I'm guessing they don't add any seasoning, including salt when cooking because the steak was very bland. I don't believe in using steak sauce; I feel like the steak itself should shine on its own. In this case I did use A1 to add some flavor. The mashed potatoes were ok as well as the green beans. There's a salad bar up front with lots of options beside salad like stew, pasta salads, and beans. The toasted bread was delicious, like a big crouton, but the ranch was sweet so not really my cup of tea. I'm thinking this place is aimed for an older crowd which is why they don't use a lot of seasoning but once you add your own it's not bad. read more
