Will update review when get the chance to eat here. Two stars for anticipation. To Management: Please update your hours of service on this Yelp platform. It's incorrect. Family were in town late for the A&M/PVAMU game and looked this place up on Yelp. Hours indicated open till 10pm but we were turned away at right after 9p by staff informing us the restaurant closed at 9p. We were so hungry and thus very disappointed to have traveled out only to be turned away. We ended up heading to the Aggie institution, Chicken Oil Co. , who were true to their hours. read more

Ate dinner here after an annual conference. I had the grilled pork chop dinner with fries and turnip greens. The food was good but the thickness of the pork chops has been reduced. I have eaten here years ago and you got two decent sized pork chops. The pork chops I got this time were on the thin side. The flavor of everything was great. My coworker ordered the ribeye and it looked great. I will go with the ribeye next time I visit. The service was great as well. read more

I have now had the privilege of eating at both locations and they both have good food and service. The age of the places and decor set them apart. This one seems newer and has a very Christian theme with bible quotes and "thoughts" on large white boards on most sides of the dining room. Our favorite thought posted on our visit was something like...if God gave you a challenge the size of Goliath then he must think you have a little David in you. The food...we ordered exactly the same things that we had at the Snook location a few weeks prior. We started off with chicken fried bacon and enjoyed it thoroughly until we read the health warnings on a recipe that had been downloaded from the internet. Ha ha! As for comparison. The pieces here were much bigger, yet fewer and the bacon inside the chicken fry was not as crispy. But it was still very good. Next chicken fried steak. One size fits all here and it covers the plate. It's really the batter that covers the plate. The steak itself took up 1/2 to 1/3 of the plate and it was super thin. Still very good and we couldn't finish it. Plenty of delicious white cream gravy too. Now for the sides... Fries -perfect All the way mashed potatoes -gummy Green beans- probably canned but still tasty Hushpuppies- way over done, practically burned Service efficient. Offering refills and providing the check well before we were ready to go. No inquiry as to how the food was or if we wanted dessert. No we wouldn't have wanted any but we did need to go containers for our leftovers which there was plenty. Would we eat here again? Absolutely! read more

Very mom and pop steakhouse that is kept alive by locals and college students alike. Very fair prices for giant portions is the reason for 5 stars from me. The meatloaf reminded me of my mothers and the pork chop was enough for 3 meals. There's a reason why this restaurant is still relevant in a very competitive college town food scene. read more

My last review was deleted, so I'll leave it again. I believe in full transparency. My family of 3 recently visited this location. We ordered pickle chips as an appetizer and there was a piece of metal served with them. It appeared to be part of the fryer basket, as it looked like a thick metal wire, and was connected to the batter on a pickle chip. Could have been a dangerous situation had my 4 year old picked that piece instead of myself. The waitress was young and seemed very nonchalant when I brought it to her attention. They did comp the pickle chips, but the lack of concern over the situation was worrisome. Please be careful if you choose to eat here. Check your fried food carefully, especially if children are dining. read more

If you would like to dine with the locals then you have to visit this place. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the service and of course the food. Portions were huge so come hungry and don't fill up on the bread basket. We had the steak and meatloaf. Steak was really juicy and cooked well. The meatloaf was good but I didn't particularly like the canned mushrooms. Otherwise very classic and down to earth. Very, very busy too! Be ready to wait for a table but it is worth the wait.

Came here for a family celebration over Ring weekend!! Seems like it's a popular place for families since the place was literally overflowing with maroon. They have lunch specials and the portions are VERY generous. Delicious food for a good price. Of course this isn't a fancy steakhouse, so if that's what you're expecting then this is not the place. It's more of a comfort food and homey feel with great food. We were taken care of and accommodated well. Didn't understand what the big deal about the ice teas were until I had a few sips. Great thing about this is they aren't stingy at all and will pour your refills and give you a to-go cup!! Awesome!! After the first basket of bread, it's 50cents each, FYI. Nothing bad to say here, definitely come check it out if you're in town since it only exists in College Station, or so I'm told! read more

Upon entering the establishment, one understands why they will not seat incomplete tables -- not only is the place actually kind of small due to somewhat inefficient design, this restaurant gets crowded, and it's best to refrain from letting your eyes wander around for fear of catching the eye of a customer dolefully gazing at your fried pickles while waiting to be seated. The free bread (one bun per customer) is warm and satisfying as is the salted butter. Any food you order is large enough to satisfy even the hungriest soul, and it is hot, hot, hot when you receive it. I had the catfish nuggets, recommended by someone who assured us that the catfish nuggets were infinitely tastier than the tenders. While I did not try the tenders, I wouldn't argue against that assertion as the nuggets. were. good. A little on the bland side, but they were well-breaded and fried, and the tartar sauce and cocktail sauce that came with made up for any lack of spice. I chose the broccoli cheese and rice, which was flavorful but dismally void of substantial broccoli, and the jalapeno hush puppies were flavorful but a tad dry. Aside from one of our table's party getting dripped on consistently by the A/C throughout the dinner, we enjoyed our dinner and the chance to watch and discuss the NBA Draft on several strategically-placed TV's around the room. read more

I have never had any problems here at this location first of all. today I decided I wanted a 14oz Sirloin steak well Don well seasoned Side choices were Corn and broccoli rice casserole. I received my steak and tried to cut into it it was HARD. I then call my waitress over to show her and her response made me change my mind totally for even ordering. I told her I will just pay for my drink. I got to the cashier and the lady tells me They couldn't cancel the order they could either replace the order or make it over I will be charged for something I wasnt Satisfied with. I DONT UNDER THIS TYPE OF Customer service. they both the waiter was and cashier began to argue with me telling me what I was going to do because this will effect the FOOD COST!! if the owner reads this You need to retrain your employee and tell them The Customer is Always right and if I am not satisfied with the product and not even consumer it I should have the right to decline the meal and pay for my drink. Not to be argued with and made to feel like I was the inconvenience and you All Not Take FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR A UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE. I will Never come back here if I don't hear from the business owner about this unpleasant visit. I expected to hear from owners no one from the restaurant level was present. read more

It was nice to see a very busy restaurant so crowded with people waiting to be seated and orders flying out the door! My wife and I were seated almost immediately which was great given the people waiting! Our waitress was personable and patient while my "Better half" took a bit perusing their menu so I ordered the Jalepeno Hush puppies. Our "Pups" arrived right away, small salty and slightly spicy balls with a nice crunch. Not bad given I'm not a regular connoisseur of them! I decided to get a medium rare ribeue with potato salad, turnip greens and a salad with Bleu cheese. My wife ordered Chicken Fried Steak, fried green beans, baked potato with multiple toppings and black eye peas. My salad was, for a side salad, great! It was cold romaine and radicchio with several red onion slices, a big juicy fresh tomato slice and 2 small containers of Bleu cheese for dressing control which I loved. My main order came and looked perfect! A nice cut perfectly seasoned with salt/pepper cooked exactly medium rare which isn't a simple feat! Since I've transplanted this steak was way better then other restaurants Ive Yelped that were 4X the cost! My side of turnip greens was plain so our waitress suggested a pepper vinegar that improved the flavor and the potato salad suggested was quite good also. My wife said her chicken fried steak was surprisingly very good, whatever that means, and her sides were also satisfying as well! I'd like to make a huge point about this restaurant though that I could not have expected. Our waitress Kilee was PHENOMENAL!! She was on top of everything without being overbearing and attentive, funny and personable which is a quality not easy to find. Our other waitress, Nicole, was a little firecracker of personality and added to our very satisfying dining experience that we look forward to coming back again! read more

However, why should three of us feel obliged to wait to start eating while the kitchen help has to redo several orders that they failed to prepare properly.

We got a combo with all garlic fries and a refillable fountain drinks. The burgers were made fresh and so juicy. The garlic fries were ridiculously delicious. The drinks were Texas made and they delicious. I loved the strawberry cream soda or the orange cream soda. Lots of different burgers and desserts to choose from. Overall, decently priced for the portions and the quality of the food. These burgers were probably the best fresh juicy burgers that we've had so far in town. We will definitely be back to try the other choices. Staff are very friendly.

But maybe I will try something different if I go back. I just can't eat their burgers. The bread got a little soggy from all of the grease. On the other hand, I LOVE their Christian atmosphere.

We checked Yelp for something other than Mexican food and this place had really great reviews. As soon as we walked it we knew it was going to be good. The menu isn't too large, which to me meant that they have spent a lot of time perfecting the things that are on the menu. The service was really good and as soon as we sat down, we ordered a couple of sodas and the Boudin balls. We took a couple minutes to look at the menu and everything looked really good, but the spicy chicken sandwich was really calling out to both of us. So we ordered those one with potato salad and one with rice. The Boudin balls were delicious. They were pretty large in size and the sauce that it came with had a little bit of a kick to it. My favorite thing was that it was mostly meat on the inside and the flavor was incredible. Same with the chicken sandwich. It also had a kick and by the time I was done my mouth was pretty warm. I thought the potato salad was a great way to help cool it off, and it was just as good as the sandwich. I loved the batter on the chicken, and I thought the bun was toasted perfectly. This would be a place I would go to regularly if I lived in the area.

When I tell you the spirit of Louisiana and NOLA was in the place! So you will miss the place if you aren't paying attention. The sign is small and the building looks like it used to be a church fellowship hall. It's not fancy and it's small, however, don't discount it. Don't judge a book by its cover and great things come in small packages. It's a family owned and run business. By the looks of it, it can probably seat 40 people and I'm pushing it with the number. However from the time you walk in until the time you leave, you feel like you're at your great aunt's house. It was five of us and when you walk in, it's seat yourself and first come, first serve. The food came out piping hot and cooked fresh. My husband and brother-in-law got the catfish platter with red beans and rice (no pork) and Mac-n-cheese. My sister and I got the Nawlins boil that had a crab cluster, shrimp, corn, potato, boiled egg and a sausage link. My nephew got a shrimp po-boy with fries. The food was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The fish and fries were crispy. The Mac-n-cheese isn't creamy but it isn't dry. Perfect amount of cheese and flavor. The red beans and rice had the perfect balance of flavor. The boil...my goodness the boil. They have the amount of the boil down to a science to make it a full meal. At first glance, I didn't think it would be seasoned well because the season looked like a dry rub. It wasn't saucy or juicy - until I took my first bite. I almost walked to the kitchen to kiss the cook. They are not skimpy on any of the food either. Even the po-boy had an overload of shrimp. When we were there, it was a packed house. There was also a large party who was rather disgruntled - not because of the service or food but because they were impatient. Remember this is a family owned business with 2 servers and maybe 3 cooks that cook to order. So if you're looking for quick food, this isn't the place. If you have time to sit, enjoy some great food with great company in a casual home style restaurant...this is your place.

I typically don't take the time to write reviews, but I'm making an exception for Sodolaks. My fiance's family came in from out to celebrate her birthday last weekend. We fell into the regular routine of visiting Sodolaks. In all reality, we probably eat here about once a month. I wouldn't say we're regulars, but this place was genuinely one of our favorite restaurants in town. At any rate, it was a busy Saturday evening and after sitting down for a while, our drink orders were finally taken. Hey, it's a Saturday night so I'll definitely cut them some slack. Eventually we ordered our meals and my fiance requested to have a sirloin steak cooked "open flame" style. The waitress was polite, but she stated that it wasn't possible. Some people prefer a sirloin cut to a ribeye because it has less fat. To say the least, it put a dampener on the birthday dinner. I didn't see the reason why they could put a ribeye on the open flame grill but not a sirloin, but hey I don't work there. She wound up settling for the sirloin cooked in its usual fashion. The issues arose when the food was delivered to the table. My fiance's stepfather received a steak cooked to medium when he requested rare. Her stepfather sent the steak back and instead of cooking a new one they wound up charring the hell out of the original one to the point where it wasn't really edible. As for me, I thought that my steak tasted what I would describe as old. I rarely complain when I'm eating out, because it's a tough industry to work in. However, when I tasted my fiance's steak that most definitely tasted old, I asked to speak with management and told my fiance not to eat one more bite. Management really didn't care about the issue. Sure they took off half the price of the steak, but having a past within the food industry, I personally would have comped the price of that steak as well as the steak that was not cooked correctly. They stated that their reason for only comping half the steak was that they cut them fresh every morning. While that may be true, it is only one aspect of proper handling of meat. In reality, the meat could have been stored at an improper temperature, cut with equipment that was not sanitized or a whole list of other possibilities. I'm not sure what happened to their management, but we had an experience quite a while back where they completely resolved the issue and actually cared about our experience. The best part of the story happened the next day when I had a massive stomach ache and had to setup shop in the bathroom for the day. In addition, I took a day off from work to recover from the food borne illness. Needless to say, I probably won't be back. Once I get food poisoning from a restaurant, I never go back. I'm sure most of the time Sodolak's gets it right, heck, they've always gotten it right every time prior with my own set of visits, but I just can't support them anymore after this terrible experience that they could have made right. read more

I've been dining at this location since it opened years ago. I am saddened that the waitstaff is either too busy to be competent or too rude to give a hoot. The food is a hit or miss which depends who is cooking in the kitchen. I've had awesome chicken fried steak cooked to perfection to a very greasy and doughy chicken fried steak. The same goes for the hamburger patty. I went this past Monday and the person whom cooked my hamburger patty did an awesome job! YUM! The cashier continues to be indifferent, and out of the times I've gone there, she has miscounted my change in her favor. Keep a sharp eye! The greeting can also be a hit or miss. It is SO awkward to come in and see no one at the booth, and wonder which way to enter the dining room. Since no one complains, then they will no bother to 'fix' what has worked for them. I've learned what time to go dine at that place and NEVER go during peak hours. I agree with the person that was 'on edge' by the time they finished their appetizer. I'd like to add that 'annoying' ring tones of roosters, and donkeys got old real fast! read more

Sodolak's in Bryan is an absolute winner for anyone looking for a fantastic meal with great value. From the moment you walk in, the service is friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The food is top-notch, with generous portions and delicious flavors. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty steak or some mouthwatering sides, everything is cooked to perfection. The value for money is also impressive--you're definitely getting a lot for what you pay. Overall, Sodolak's combines excellent service, great food, and outstanding value. If you're in College Station and want a reliable spot for a satisfying meal, this place is definitely worth checking out. read more

Had a wonderful time here at Sodolaks Beefmasters. I went here with the family. I had a pretty generous chicken fried steak, and I actually enjoyed it. The fries and other side dishes were also good. The place was quite fun that night, and the service was also good. The staff was very nice and polite. That waiting time was okay; chatting with the family while waiting for the food was okay. I would really love to recommend this place! read more

I've been living in College Station for 11 years and eating here for the last 10 I think. It's always been good. I'm sure that once or twice I've had a steak that was tough but my word, this isn't New York or Maryland where everything has to be perfect before we compliment the cook. Always taste great, always quite large and always taste great the next day on a bend over. :^) read more

Not the best steak that I've had around this area, but not horrible either. If you want a good steak in B/CS and you can afford it, go to Christopher's World Grille or the Republic.

This hole in the wall locals bar/grill stated off as a bar with pool tables and when covid hit, they expanded to serving food to stay open. The original owners got out, a long-time local customer stepped up and took over/bought it out and kept it going. The Good: Its family friendly, locally owned and caters to the local crowd. The food is fresh. Almost everything on the menu is fresh/scratch made: Fries? They cut the potatoes and drop em in the fryer. Wednesday nights about 50 weeks out of the year, the owner grills ribeyes over charcoal - he takes a break when on vacation or his kid is showing animals at the fair. Spring means the occasional crawfish. The steak fingers are hand battered sirloin strips. The onion rings are fresh cut and hand battered. If alcohol is your thing the drink menu is pretty substantial, and if they have the fixings they can make what you want. Friday and saturday night is a little more adult oriented but stillt remains family friendly. The "Bad". If there's one thing I'd have to say, its that the kitchen is small, so when its busy it will take time to get your food. If you come on a busy night, understand that you might be waiting a while. As a local who is here several times a week at various times of the day, I know and accept that. Please be patient, if you've got the time I think the food is worth the wait, when there is one. If you happen to be passing through, drop in and grab a bite or a drink.
