    Fried zucchini
    Alan M.

    The fried zucchini was fresh and tasty. The turkey melt was plain looking but delicious. Friendly service and nice facility.

    I arrived around noon and it was pretty crowded, but there was a table available. I was in the mood for chicken fried steak. It was good, but a little over breaded. The meat was well tenderized, and was obviously prepared there, not some frozen patty. The plate was served with fries, which were good the tea was really good and fresh. I also got a piece of German chocolate cake from the dessert cooler by the register that was very good. The parking lot does fill up.

    Came here on a ride and the FOOD & STAFF were AMAZING!! Great atmosphere and the best fried pickles in town! Thank you!

    the interior of a restaurant
    Amanda C.

    Honestly it's a 3 and a half but I rounded up. The food is good not great. Service was good not great. But what got me was it's a bar and grill and there was literally not beer on tap. Hmmm? And there is a limited bottled selection. The water tasted dirty and literally no one at our table drank it. Had the chicken fried steak and like I said it was there. Nothing exciting about it kind of like the restaurant its self.

    Perfect onion rings
    Ryan M.

    On my innumerable road trips throughout the great state of Texas, I find myself repeating a mantra coined by the inimitable Yelper Don B. of Kerrville: "Always hoping for serendipity." When passing through a town unfamiliar to me, I take a cursory glance at Yelp and end up dining at some quirky, family-owned hole in the wall. Will my Yelp brethren steer me wrong (e.g., The Local Fix in Uvalde -- scathing Ryan M. review forthcoming) or will serendipity prevail and lead me to a hidden gem? In the case of Shifters American Grill, the Yelp consensus is accurate; this is top-notch down-home cooking, comfort food given the respect it deserves. Followers of mine know that I hold onion rings to a high standard. I expect nothing less than a shatteringly crisp batter speckled with cracked pepper and onions that teeter between soft/caramelized and crisp/astringent. The ones at Shifters (eight to an order for $5.99) rose to that standard, ranking among the best I have tried in recent memory. My dad and I both noted that not one drop of cooking oil was present in the basket, proving that the fry cook at Shifters is indeed a master of the Maillard reaction. Burgers, chicken tenders, and various sandwiches sounded tempting, but I went with the chicken-fried steak dinner, a wise choice. The sprawling steak -- pounded out about 1.5 inches thick -- featured a tender cut of good-quality cube steak, a craggy crust, and a rich, homemade cream gravy resplendent with glistening meat drippings in the roux (no ersatz gravy cubes or powders here). The "loaded" mashed potatoes would have benefited from more cheese, bacon, and chives, but the potatoes themselves were smooth (not *too* smooth like instant mashers), buttery, and unquestionably homemade. Alas, the appeal of warm undressed lettuce and mealy tomatoes on the plate failed to resonate with me. The vegetation was likely intended as a garnish or perhaps an attempt to brighten the dish, but I would have been happier without it. Methinks I protest too much, for this is Texas; ignore that vegetable matter and give me more fried foods smothered in cream gravy! I typically visit an establishment a minimum of three times prior to writing a review, but I'm not sure when I will return to Pleasanton for a followup meal. Will your experience match or exceed mine? I make no guarantees, but I have learned that if a small-town diner can execute the basics (onion rings and chicken-fried steaks in this case), then it will likely succeed elsewhere. If you don't trust my learned opinion (in which case, shame on you), then consider the opinion of our Governor, the Honorable Greg Abbott. He was apparently so impressed that he bestowed upon Shifters a signed letter of recognition for its "amazing hospitality" and "outstanding food." How did I end up at such a place, you ask? Serendipity!

    Date: 11/08/2025 Time: 11:02 am…read moreOrder: 588981 For the last couple of years, have purposely stayed away from Whataburger down in the Corpus Christi area due to food quality and customer service. Today, on a trip back home from Uvalde to the Corpus Christi area, for lack of an actual fast-food restaurant besides McDonalds, we unfortunately made the quick decision to stop at this Whataburger and ordered via the drive thru. We ordered 1 Number 1 with cheese, no tomatoes, extra veggies with mustard and mayo. What we got was a Number 1 with Tomatoes. The mustard was only at the bottom of the sandwich. The sandwich was warm at best and the french fries were much worse as to temperature for 11:02 am. We (my wife) also ordered 1 Number 1 with cheese, ketchup and pickles only. We made the order, and she repeated it two more times as the young lady was apparently bound and determined to have mayo put on it. Apparently, she may have got confused with Mayo and Ketchup, or maybe it was their similar colors? Well, when my wife got her burger, it had Mayo and Pickles. No Ketchup and Pickles only. Again Maybe "MAYO" AND "KETCHUP" sound the same even after stating it 3 times? She also requested hot/crispy french fries. The French Fries were literally barely warm, more than likely because they were pre-cooked and set under a warming light. it's understandable that everyone makes mistakes, I get that but sometimes you have to stop and ask, what is going on! Mayo for Ketchup, No Tomatoes for Tomatoes. Warm as opposed to hot. Made YOUR way! They need to try and make it MY way, not theirs. They either don't know how to do their job or really don't care. I think it may be a little bit of both. This is the very reason after spending over $21.00 bucks and get the poor food quality/preparation that is why we swore off Whataburger. Probably should have got a taco at the local gas station. I don't know about anyone else, but $21.00 dollars is $21.00 dollars. I earned my money and worked hard for it. I want the same in return, $21.00 dollars' worth of food as it was ordered. Poor Form Whataburger! Literacy, basic understanding of how to do a job is necessary even with taking orders/preparing food for customers. Secondly, Hey management. Try "Pay for Performance" . Us older people had to do that, or we had to look for work elsewhere. Oh well, shame on us, as we stayed away from Whataburger based on this. We very well should have stayed away from this location for sure. An experience at MacDonalds would have been a lot better. Do what you want, we however are done with Whataburger.

    I ordered through the app when getting there they had no clue what I ordered. Told them what was…read moreordered. I ordered a coffee with sweet cream, vanilla , and caramel and was charged extra. I got a black coffee with nothing added.
