Not the best but it was okay. I had the large chicken fried steak. It had a good flavor but it was mostly breading. The service was a bit slow. Glad I tried it but probably won't be back. read more

Great place and the portions are huge!! The prices are awesome. Will definitely be back!

When is Katy and looking for a good ole country restaurant, this is the place. Good was reasonably priced and very tasty. I had the hamburger steak with gravel , ended up taking 1/2 home and was about to make another meal from the leftover read more

The waitresses were very nice. My boyfriend and I went at 4pm on Friday so there was no crowd. We ordered fountain drinks and Texas toothpicks. The appetizer was good. I ordered the blackened catfish, Mac and cheese and baked potato soup. The catfish was very salty, the Mac and cheese was bland and the soup was extremely watery. My BF ordered the grilled pork chops, mashed potatoes with gravy and green beans. Everything on his plate was delicious. The pork chops were very tender. I was turned off by the flies. I gets that it's not an upscale restaurant but there's nothing okay about having flies fly on and around your food inside of a restaurant. I've been to worse places but I wouldn't go back. read more

We loved the burgers. Hubby got the cheeseburger and I got the mushroom and Swiss... OMG! I think the best burger I ever had. We asked for fries extra crispy and they were perfect! Food came quick. Placed order, went to bathroom, and sat in time for food to be placed on table. read more

Stopped here for a late lunch on Saturday. I ordered the jalapeno burger and onion rings. The burger was thick and juicy, cooked perfectly. The bread was fresh, it kind of reminded me of the bread you would get in New Orleans. The onion rings were fantastic! They were thick and hand cut. The batter was crispy and not greasy. Everything was hot and fresh. Staff was friendly and attentive, lots of parking, great food, reasonable prices, whats not to like. read more

Went here once food was great thanks to the cooks but Denise Who I feel does poor management needs to be fired her attitude was off and employees seem like they are always in for turnovers , WISH THIS RESTAURANTS REVENUE WENT SOMEWHERE BETTER AND NOT HER. read more

Meh! The good: The waitress was great! Very attentive and I also saw that they were very diligent in cleaning. The bad: The food! We ordered a guacamole burger and chicken fried steak. The burger didn't have flavor and the fries were cold! The chicken fried steak looked good but tasted like it was frozen and not fresh. Not flavorful. I'm not sure shoot the reviews the food is not good. Also even the fountain drinks were off. read more

I have been eating here for a long time but unfortunately was beyond disappointed when I went there to have lunch and no mask were being worn by any of the waitresses.All the customers walk in and wear them in and out of the restaurant as required.Yet the owner/manager and waitresses don't care about the health of their customers or their own families. We won't go again unless this changes. read more

Denise and her entire team consistently provide a welcoming atmosphere, delightful service and delicious food. We have been the recipients of outstanding hospitality for a wide variety of occasions, children's birthday parties, team sports end of season gatherings, family meals and even dinner on the go when we want to order for pickup. The food is always top knotch. You can't go wrong randomly ordering off the menu. We love the burgers, chicken fried chicken, catfish, salads and homemade desserts. read more

Small restaurant with BIG taste and service! The food was very very tasty and the service was even better!

Can I give MORE than 5 stars?!?! This place is AWESOME!!! Had a burger, fries, and an order of fried pickles. Seriously - the BEST!!! Big portions. read more

Food was great. Staff was very attentive. No employees were wearing masks. Disappointing they didn't feel a need to do there part. read more

Food is delicious, kid friendly, casual environment. Great service. I haven't been in a while but would.

The food was good fresh and the service was great, definitely will return and highly recommend this place

Great food and the wait staff was very attentive. Very close to I10 in Katy , easy to find.

Good for chicken fried steak. Great queso, beer and bands. As you walk into the place, it feels like a country bar with diner tables. The wait staff is friendly. When we asked about what kind of cheese was in the delicious queso, the waiter went to the kitchen to ask and told us it was a special Mexican velveeta. My wife and I had the chicken fried steak. It was good, but I prefer mine with a bit more spice. The baked potato and Brussels sprouts sides were good as well. My daughter enjoyed the quesadillas. We have been to TT in the past when a band was playing, and it was a good experience. The only thing I didn't like on our most recent trip was that the large queso was too big for the amount of chips that were brought, and we were charged for a chips refill. Prices may be a little on the high side, but are not extreme. Daily lunch and weekend dinner specials are offered. We will return and I would like to try the catfish next time. read more

chicken wings are so good good price, friendly staffs good vibes and price is very reasonable

Preordered takeout fish tacos without onions, server looked, said no onions. Cooks, cashier guy and most servers did not wear masks. Got home, onions. This was the first time we were dissatisfied with service and food from here. read more

Staff was welcoming and attentive. Food was fresh, delicious and plentiful. Restaurant, which has a rustic vibe, is a small mom and pop shop in old town Katy. Highly recommend if you are looking for a "home cooked" meal. read more

Awful. We waited 2 hours for our food and once our group's food had come out, they told us they forgot to put our family's order in. Left and will not be back. read more

Great burgers and brisket. Service was good, prices were good. Chicken fried steak is also quite tasty

Oh, so good! Comfort food at its Texas best. Best Chicken Fried Steak I've ever eaten. Honest-to-goodness, made-from-potatoes mashed potatoes. Gravy so good you could eat it alone as an entree. I really like this place, and I'll be coming back again and again. read more

Someone recommended this place. Young lady took our order and left. After watching everyone who came in after us get their food I asked another waitress why are we still waiting? She said the young lady who took our order was in a rush to go out of town for her Grandmothers funeral!!!! Sorry for her loss but I will not patronize this Restaurant ever again. I really hate I have to give a star for the rating because it is not deserved. read more

I do not recommend this place. In the middle of a Pandemic situation serving food with no CDC guidelines. The menus weren't disposable, waiters with no gloves no mask. The cooks not wearing masks or gloves. Dirty restaurant. Is this safe? Would you go to a restaurant not following any CDC guidelines? I won't... read more

First off food was good. Wife had BLT and I had Grilled Chicken Salad. Service was good. Now the bad. The seating is way too close and unfortunately, they practice zero guidelines when it came to distancing. When I say close, I mean I have sat on airplanes and ate with more distance apart. The waiter was wearing a mask. However the lady working the bar, serving drinks, To Go orders and helping serve the tables was NOT wearing a mask. We said something to our waiter, nothing changed, other than a "glare" from her every now and then. I could not wait to get out of this restaurant. It felt like I was in a "petri-dish." It's a shame they are not following any guidelines as the food was really good. Maybe we will give them another shot in about a year when (hopefully) this pandemic is over. If you are not scared of catching Covid, by all means go. Your chances will be very high there. read more

"I read reviews before going to an unfamiliar restaurant". What drew me to this one was "friendly staff", and "old fashioned hang off of the plate chicken fried steak". The staff was wonderful! Yes friendly, kind, and informative. While my wife and I were enjoying our spectacular appetizers chicharrones and queso, and fried pickle chips I was watching the staffs interaction with one another. There was one lady who seemed to be an owner or manager and two teenagers or early 20 something's taking orders and bringing the food. There was wonderful and respectful conversation between the three of them. Yes my chicken fried steak was wonderful. It was thin and tender with a great crust and hanging nicely over the edge of my plate. The country gravy was very flavorful. Kudos to the kitchen staff for knocking this meal out of the park. We will definitely be back. read more

We finally took a drive from The Heights to this place. Greeted the moment we walked in, it was early afternoon so not too busy. Service was quick, very friendly staff. The food - chicken fried chicken, chicken fried steak, Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, side crisp salad was all delicious! Kind of reminded me of Blacked Eyed Peas, just wished they served sweet corn bread. We definitely will return! read more

I give this place 3 stars! It's not bad, it's just okay. Service varies from day to day, if it's busy or not. We usually come Friday's for their shrimp basket special. read more

I have been to Texas Tradition about 6 times over the last 3 years (we moved to Katy from SE Asia 3 years ago). Today, I had the chicken fried steak for the first time. It was absolutely delicious. Service was very good, as we were the only ones there, and the food looked amazing. I got the small portion with their amazing onion rings as an adder. I got both country gravy and a side of brown gravy. Glad I did that. I want to do this whole experience again. read more

This place has home cooking down! We've eaten here many times for breakfast but just tried out their dinner. Friday night was all you can eat catfish and boy were we happy campers! The catfish was fresh, moist and breaded and fried perfectly. I had the chicken fried chicken with a house salad and baked potato soup. No shortage on calories, but well worth the splurge! They had live music playing in the outdoor enclosed patio which was a fantastic backdrop to dinner. It's a great place for families or for a quick break from parenting if you need a mini date without leaving the burbs. read more

Loved the food so much. I was sad when I finished it. The bacon cheddar burger was thick and so juicy. It was medium well (I think). It was pink in the middle. That taste was soooooo good!!! The chicken fried stake was awesome! The small one was almost as big as the plate. Had mash potatoes and fried okra on the side. Came with a slice of Texas toast that was so buttery! Didn't take a picture of it because I was half way through my food before I remembered to. Had the apple crisp for desert. Had to take like 95% home because I was so full. Didn't put ice cream on it because of the drive home. Everything was sooo delicious. The food was served very quick and hot. The price wasn't that bad either, considering the portions were big! read more

We had the lunch special. It was pot roast with potatoes and carrots. More food than we could eat . It was the best pot roast I have ever had. It was beyond tender and the flavor was amazing. I was so full, I had no room for dessert. The atmosphere was real Texas and the restaurant was very clean and orderly. If you go there once you will go back. Ask for Mike. Great service. read more

Came in for lunch the other day after I was told they had good burgers. Yea, they're big and good! It was normal busy for lunch time, we walked in and got sat right away. Quick service and our sweet teas were full and nary needed a refill asked for our server was on it. The bacon cheeseburger was good, huge patty, not too over cooked, but not real pink either. Too much lettuce on the burger made it hard to hold together, get yours without lettuce and I think you'll have yourself a legit chance of keeping it all together. The cajun fries were only lightly seasoned and I think they were good but nothing to write home about. Friendly service and the volume inside was very tolerable and it was easy to talk without yelling, or feeling like everything needed to be a secret. Good prices too. I'd totally come back. read more

So unfortunate the restaurant cross contaminates seafood with all other food. I became allergic to seafood after my first son was born. We tried to order boudin balls - nope. Tried to order chips and salsa - nope. Tried to order chicken fried chicken - nope. Only one option for grease. We really wanted to try this place. I don't like when my family suffers for my allergy read more

Let me just say, chicken fried steak and white gravy make the list of things that deeply offend me (along with Hawaiian pizza, in case anyone's interested...). That statement now is followed by the disclaimer that it's true in every circumstance except when Texas Tradition is involved. This is apparently a Katy staple and I now see why. The walls are adorned with Texas flags and license plates, and the rest of the dining room is simply no fuss, leaving plenty of room for the star of the show - the food. It's not fancy, it's not exotic. It's just. plain. goodness. Disclaimer on the burgers: you can only eat them with your hands if you 1) cut them in half and 2) are feeling extra adventurous. Otherwise, these guys require a fork, knife, and plenty of extra napkins. It's all well worth it. Disclaimer on the chicken fried steak: if you don't order this dish, you are doing yourself a disservice. I strongly recommend a side of mashed potatoes with white gravy - and fried okra. If you happen by this quaint little place on a cruise down hwy 90, do yourself and anyone else in your car a favor and stop on in. You won't regret it! read more

Crowded, but got seated quickly. Food had great flavor. Debbie the waitress was hustling. If I lived closer I'd be there more often.

I'm updating this review, as I've gone several more times and the food has become more consistent than when I originally wrote my review (my co-workers are still big fans). I've found my comfort spot on the menu, and have received good service each time we have gone. I think, my first few visits, I just wasn't a fan of the particular dish. read more

Small hometown eatery. Not a steak joint but great service , hometown feel , good food.
