Great service and great food!…read more We were driving by and found this place through Google maps. I cross checked. It with Yelp and we decided to try it out. Everyone who helped us was kind and helpful. Our waiter brought us this cute loaf of bread with butter. The bread was soft and filling. We both ate from the buffet. The shrimp, fried chicken, and brisket were all good as were the sides like mac and cheese, beans, hush puppies, and corn. They also had a salad bar and drinks. There's also a few different pies to select from on a shelf. We tried the chocolate and coconut pies. Both were tasty with generous portions. We'll definitely come back if we're in the area.

First, the service was excellent, I believe our server was named Presley. Very kind, always checking on us and keeping our water and tea full. On the buffet, my dad enjoyed the salad he had, but was surprised at the little variety offered that day. He said last time he was there with my brother there was more to choose from. He then got the fried chicken, which was greasy and barely any chicken on the thigh. I tried to find a drumstick but it was just breasts, thighs and a few wings. He did like the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. As for the fried okra, you have to eat it fresh. It is sitting under a heat lamp just makes it soggy and slimy. I ordered 4 vegetables a la carte which came out to be as much as the all you can eat buffet. First, their onion rings are OUTSTANDING! So is their homemade ranch. What was disappointing was the green beans, they definitely came out of a can and were heated. At $3.99 I expected fresh. There may have been a small piece of onion in it. Not sure if that was how it was cooked or if it fell in from another dish. The black-eyed peas were tasty. I also had a cup of the chicken corn chowder which was good. However, there was pieces of cubed chicken in it which also made me think that it was a prepackaged soup and not homemade. My dad got the coconut cream pie, which tasted good, but could have used more coconut then just on the top. He wanted bread pudding or peach cobbler, however at the time of day we were there, they had been picked over way too much, not leaving much for anyone else to enjoy. I did like the selections in the gift shop and purchased a tea towel before we left. I always like to try a place 3 times so I may stop in and try something else. Again, great customer service.

Th menu has so many great options, so I went with the special, chicken fried chicken with white gravy, mashed potatoes, okra and toast. I am not a huge gravy person so got it on the side. The proportions were the perfect size, not too little and definitely not overwhelming. Everything was excellent and cooked to perfection. I had the sweet tea and it was wonderful as well. My co worker had the fish plate, she is a connoisseur of fish and said it was wonderful. The booths were a good size and customers are able to write with chalk paint pens to leave their mark. The environment was relaxing and fun at the same time. Although the space is smaller, the speed of service and the wonderful staff made it feel big. Will definitely return when I travel through Teague!

My husband and I decided to stop by here on our road trip. There was a ton of parking as we pulled…read moreinto the parking lot. We walked in and it was a good sized bakery that was well lit, bright, with plenty of places to sit. There was a variety of fresh baked breads, muffins, pies, as well as other things to choose from. I wanted a sandwich so I went up to the counter. The person working there was nice. She gave me a few minutes to decide what I wanted. I placed my order, paid, and waited for my name to be called. After about 10 minutes my name was called, I grabbed my order and we were off. As far as the food goes it was delicious. I ordered the Petite Turkey Cranberry Sandwich which comes with turkey, lettuce, apple, cream cheese and honey drizzle. It was the perfect size for traveling and didn't leave me overly full. Overall, Collin Street Bakery was a good place to stop with a clean atmosphere, friendly staff, and several bakery food options.

This bakery has a wide variety of baked goods and coffees, and the building has an old-time feel to it, while obviously well taken care of. My wife mentioned a changing table in the ladies' room (although I cannot remember if this is the case with the men's). The sandwiches were not great, and I would also say not worth the price. Not that any of this would stop me from dropping on by the next time. If you are on your way between DFW/Waco and Houston, I would recommend this bakery (and a no-brainer if you need Supercharging).

You can get any of the pasta dishes they can make them with gluten free pasta upon request along with getting any handhelds on a gluten free bun. I landed on the Poke Bowl, I subtracted the aioli and ponzu because they were not gluten free. I removed the picked ginger out of my personal preference. To replace the sauces I removed I asked for a cup of their apple vinaigrette and it paired incredibly well with everything in the bowl.

I'm A nod to the rural TX farming and railway that represents east TX. Decor includes broken down…read moretractors, votives surrounded by barbed wire (all fake- no safety concerns), an old pickup, and tons of plants like fiddle leaf figs and pothos. I noticed there is a lip on the front door so don't trip- the travel path can be challenging for those with mobility impairment whether that be a wheelchair user or someone who shuffles their feet (as many clientele in the area). Likewise the lighting is pretty and dramatic but limited in several areas where there are steps and the accessible parking isn't too identifiable at night (to the left of the entrance). Just be careful. For hearing impaired folks, it was a bit loud at 7:30 for conversations but by 8:20 it was noticeably quieter if hearing aids were needed to discern tabletop discussions. I added myself to a yelp waitlist but this wasn't mentioned. But the wait wasn't too bad. There was a family of 8 ahead of me that seemed to throw the hostess for a serious loop. She put together a table which they immediately rejected, asked for another that containing a reserved placard then a third. In between she came back to the stand and looked at me inquisitively - so I asked for a table for one- but then she said it would be a minute. I got the "table for one" treatment- offer for a less comfortable high top in what the bar area- and then I thought we were headed to that 2 top by the bathroom every restaurant dooms single diners with, but was pleasantly surprised to be offered a 4 top. The menu reflected what was on their website- always a good sign. But the waitress was not able to handle the volume. I waited 10 minutes before even being greeted. When she did come by to say she'd be right with me, I could hear a nearby table asking for a pen to pay a check after a wait and another table she had served beverages seemed to be a little irked they hadn't gotten a ticket yet so I figured it best to adjust my ordering accordingly. The fried green tomatoes were a perfect temperature- this can often be a challenge to have them still hot but not scald your tongue prior to the rest of a meal. I think thinner slices help achieve this. Coated in cornmeal not flour mixture made it a challenge to stay on, but the homemade ranch is perfect and makes up for any pieces you fish out. The tuna tataki is approachable- wise choice for an area that is less likely to have a palette looking for wild combinations. I'd feel comfortable introducing someone to tuna with this dish. The concept of tortilla chip with seared tuna (possibly ahi) with crispy fried onion strings and grilled bell peppers and a bit of ponzu sauce is great but swimming in ponzu, the tortilla chips were not strong enough to hold the tuna and their being heavily pre salted really made the whole dish way too salty. I'd love to see this reconfigured with unsalted tortillas cut in half and fried, just a drizzle of the ponzu sauce, and keep the onions and peppers. the grilled peppers adding that smokey flavor really could shine then. And to be clear that was the stand out detail- would love to see more of that combo. For the entree I went with a grilled salmon since I've had two NY strips in Chicago this week. The salmon was definitely fishy so not as fresh, but the jalapeño compound butter really helped cover this so I'd recommend opting for that over an herb butter. The grilled asparagus is a little oily but grateful for a vegetable that wasn't frozen and heated. The Parmesan on top adds a good bit of flavor but again watch out for salt blindness. I would normally say how can you mess up a loaded baked potato but actually I had a terrible twice baked one at a stupid expensive steakhouse this week. They did not scrimp on the toppings- every bite could come with a bit of cheese, sour cream, chives, and real crumbled bacon. Frankly this was the type of potato you think of when you think of home. Solid. Now the tea. This was what I was most curious about given the city of Trinidad has notoriously bad (safety has even been questioned) water. The restaurant has invested in a filtration system and promoted it online. To be honest one of the main reasons I was convinced to try the place. There is a lingering taste that it's been processed but nothing I would reject and the peace of mind frankly would keep me coming back. Now my tea glass could have been refilled more often (ran empty twice), but in this instance, that's a testament to water being drinkable. For service I would say they were a little overwhelmed as tables nearby were left unbussed, but the food was never cold and was served very timely so they have that down. I also want to acknowledge the guy at the table next to me was blowing his nose loudly and incessantly using the restaurant napkin so my heart truly goes out to that staff having to deal with that. Honestly kind of want to keep this one a secret.

Don't know if the reduced size of steaks were due to increased price of meat or short at end of day and vegetables were leftovers but have no desire to go back anytime soon
