If camping at Daingerfield SP or in the area of Hughes Springs this is a must for hearty old fashion lunch bite. With amazing starters, to burgers made fresh, to throw back to a much simpler time with thick cut fried bologna sandwich. This small but hearty eatery, with the staff that personify customer service from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave. This eatery embodies that small Texas town hospitality.
I must say we did this place 2 days in a row. One reason is simple the food is so good and the options are amazing. The other is they are only open Mon-Fri 11:00am - 3pm, so we were able to enjoy a mix of several different foods.
On Thursday we started with 2 appetizers, Potato cakes(look like oversized tater tots) fried crispy brown with side of spicy ranch dressing. Next was an order of deep fried mac & cheese bites with side of ranch and avocado dip, "oh my goodness" these things were so good. We all had the toughest time trying to decide on sandwiches, with so many delicious sounding possibilities but we all finally decided. I started with the MAC Attack, it starts with a slice of Swiss an American cheeses, 4 mac bites on top of 1/3 fresh hamburger patty, between 2 fabulous buttery slices of perfectly grilled Texas toast with side of french fries. The fries come with either side of ranch dressing or cup of nacho cheese for dipping. The crinkle cut fries are perfectly cooked and topped with special season making them tasty all by themselves.
Next my wife ordered the "The Spicy Hefer" fresh ground beef patty topped w/pepper jack cheese, crispy fried onions, grilled jalapeno's, all smothered between 2 buttery crisp slices of thick Texas toast.My wife absolutely loved all of the spicy flavors.My friend had "The Captain" it is thick slice of fried bologna topped with American cheese between to buttery Texas toast. It is so good takes you back to a better place and time with less stress and fewer problems to concern yourself with. My daughter got "The Dirty Bird" dill pickled breaded fried chicken breast topped with lettuce, tomato, bacon honey mustard sauce between 2 slices of Texas toast. Another winning pick, she ate all of it. This does not even begin to cover the fantastic taste of food and options.
The following day we started with an order of the Creek Nacho fries, their well seasoned crinkle fries covered in nacho cheese topped with chopped brisket and jalapeno's. This is simply amazing it really could be a meal if you choose. I also order "The Captain" for my lunch but I added a medium soft fried egg to the sandwich it was amazing the salty crispness of the bologna coupled with the oozy goodness of the runny egg yoke it was. Then we made sure we saved room for the "Wild Fries", delicious funnel cake fries covered with chocolate sauce and caramel, powdered sugar. This is a MUST if you are funnel cake lover.
Our only problem is they are not open after 3pm so we could not go and get dessert after our dinner meals. read more
