First time here. Was really hungry for chicken fried steak. This restaurant is in an old refurbished building off the square in downtown Gatesville. Very antique and vintage decor. We were greeted and immediately I asked Stephanie to tell us what they were known for. She said Chicken Fried Steak Yaa ! And hand battered onion rings.Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. Hubby got full plate and I opted for Chicken fried Sandwich and onion rings. Very flavorful and gravy was definitely homemade. Loved it all. My only remark is that the front entry is kinda dark and could use a ceiling fan. We will be back. read more

Went back again and the onion rings are great. Chicken fried steak is good and crispy and the service is quick. They need a full bar instead of just beer and wine to get the 5 stars. Inside is great and creepy. read more

Love the decor of this rustic country restaurant. There are three dining areas one of which is more private if you were looking to reserve a room for a large party. The food is good and the place feels like an extension of grandmas kitchen. Pricing is decent but be sure to look at the prices for the specials, the prime rib pictured here was near $30 so a bit on the pricy side. I did t like the fried okra. It tasted like fish so recommend using separate fryers for seafood. Service was a nice pace and our server was kind. Plenty of parking and entrance is flat- easy for anyone with a walker or needing time to get in/out. Recommend a stop in. read more

The Feed Mill - Southwest burger - Barbeque Near Me - Gatesville, Texas

Excellent service, yummy food. Great atmosphere, especially if you love history. Bathrooms are clean and all is easy access for wheelchairs.

Standard country fare. We arrived on a weekday for an early lunch. The chicken fried steak was decent but not the traditional plate hanger that most restaurants pride themselves on. The small is small and the large is 2 smalls. The hand cut fries were good but unfortunately they were overcooked and bordering on that burnt oil taste. The burgers were good also but the onion rings were crispy on the outside and a little underdone on the inside. Still the food wasn't bad, the fry cook could of been having an off day. If we are in the area, we would stop there again and give it another try. read more

Food is absolutely delicious here! My wife and daughter had club sandwiches with chips and I had the small fried catfish with tater salad and green beans. The cornbread and rolls basket before the meal is so tasteful just like the regular dishes. I enjoyed a cheeseburger about a month ago here and came back today. Here's the menu read more

Stopped in a drive home after a weekend camping. Wanted a burger and this was one of the highest rated places in town. It was very busy on a Sunday after church but we were seated immediately and our drinks were brought quickly. It took about 10 minutes for them to take our order but they stopped by a couple of time to apologize for the delay. As I said, it was after church and it looked like several tables came in at once. Once we ordered our food was delivered quickly. We had standard cheese burgers and onion rings. The burgers were perfectly cooked and seasoned! The onion rings were hand cut and battered. Everything was delicious. Before leaving, we chatted with owner about the history of the building. She said almost everything is made homemade, meat is ground in house in for the burgers, and steaks are cut in house. Overall, this was a great stop. After many trips thru Gatesville, we never knew this was here. We will definitely be back. read more

We're from out of town but wanted a place with burgers and salads. Mine was great and husband said the burger was best he'd had in a while! Reminds me of a cooler, more genuine Cracker Barrel. read more

We stopped by for lunch on our way through town and this little gem didn't disappoint. I'm not sure which was our favorite the chicken fried steak, the fried okra or the catfish but, they were all delicious. We will definitely be back when in the area. read more

I'm a sucker of pork chops and The Feed Mill did a great job in making this food so good!! The meat is very tender, and tasty! Also had their soutwest burger which is a must try and if you want something a bit healthy, I recommend the Portobello Mushroom Burger. Guys, see you, cause I'll be back again! read more

Stopped for lunch and the food was very good. We will definitely be back. Service was quick and decor was really nice farmhouse style

My wife and I both got chicken fried chicken. It was pretty good. I couldn't tell if it was the gravy or the batter that tasted a little burned or something. It was a large portion and I ate the whole thing. We will be back to give it another try. Their burgers sound good. Love the atmosphere. Lots of old antiques. Feels homey. The service was good. Very friendly staff. The desserts looked great. We were just too full to have any. read more

We had the shrimp po-boy which was very tasty. However, the server didn't tell us that french fries cost an additional $4,50 each. We were not aware there was an additional charge and would not have ordered them if we had been told. This added 9 dollars to our bill we didn't expect. read more

The hamburger meat tasted bad, and the service was mid, the room however had a good atmosphere and had good dessert!

Came into town to visit family and was taken on a tour of downtown and came to the Feed Mill for dinner. The Feed Mill does a great job making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive, with warm and local decor. (Gave me lots of Cracker Barrel vibes, but hyper-local) We were immediately sat (amazing) and the menu prices were out of this world. Some of the sides were only $2.50 (omg!!!) and some of the were only $6?! And we're talking good food too. Lots of the reviews said this place had good southern home cooking but I'd argue it's actually EXCEPTIONAL southern home cooking. (For real it felt like I was in someone's granny's house) Some of the best grilled catfish and sautéed mushrooms I've ever had. Great restaurant and wonderful place to dine if in the area. read more

The Feed Mill - Grilled Catfish plate with loaded mashed potatoes and sautéed mushrooms - Barbeque Near Me - Gatesville, Texas

Hubby and I both had the cheeseburger basket for lunch. Food was good, service was quick and friendly, and price was reasonable.

We got there at 12:55 PM - - they close at 2 PM on Tuesdays. Selena was our server, there were seven of us, and she was positively divine! I had brought six family members who had come down from Wisconsin for Thanksgiving, so it was a complete and total Texas experience for them. I am so glad that we stopped there. I intended to take pictures of the food, but we dug in so fast I completely forgot. All I can say is their grilled catfish is beyond the pale, and the fried dill pickles are the best I've had in my entire entire life - - and I am southern and have lived all over the world and the country. Highly recommend. Can't wait to take the hubby there. read more

Loved the atmosphere. Super cute, very country, clean. We were greeted and seated right away. Our waitress came, nice not friendly. Got us our waters, took our order. We both ordered burgers. Hubby got the All American basic cheese burger with onion rings. I ordered the specialty burger, southwestern. I asked for the onions on the side. I got fries with mine. Took a while to get our food, a runner brought it. Table that came in after us got theirs before us. (Burger and veggie plate). My burger looked delicious, jalapeño bun, I only got one meat (wished I would have gotten the double, patty was on the thin side) it tasted good but wasn't very hot. My burger was very tasty, jalapeños grilled perfectly. Happily, I didn't mind the onions because they were completely cooked. The aioli was there but not enough flavor. Fries were good, home cut crispy, just not that hot. (Do you see the theme). Hubby said his burger was good but not enough meat (his was a single) and NOT that hot. The onion rings were COLD. Told the waitress, she said okay I'll get you some more. Comes back with a plate, says "put your burger on the plate", walks away with the onion rings. While she is there, I ask for hot sauce, for my fries. She comes back with the fresh batch of onion rings, meanwhile I never got hot sauce so I've eaten my fries without it. The onion rings are fresh and hot, not amazing but really good, would have been better with our food. Waitress asked if we needed anything else but didn't highlight dessert. Got the bill, laid on the table, walked away said she was the cashier. No "thank you". Came and got our money, no "thank you, have a nice day" or any kind of nicety...put the change on the table walked away. Older lady cleaning tables, thanked us and said come again as we left. Overall not a great experience. I'd try them again because I think we probably just had a waitress "off" day. Definitely get the double meat. read more

Awesome food and great staff. I would highly recommend the Feed Mill. The chicken fried steak was great.

We stopped in here on the way home from Mother Neff. The food came out quickly and was good. We got burgers, steak fingers, chicken strips and there were no complaints. The kids really enjoyed the rolls. Our waitress was fantastic. The only downside was the price was a little steep for the food. $19 for a chicken fried steak, etc. definitely plan to spend some money if you're stopping in. read more

Food here was very good. I had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was fresh and the dressing was very good. I had the small chicken fried steak and it took up over half the plate. The wife had a hamburger and fries and it was good as well. The service was very friendly, like you would expect in Texas town. The food came out fast and she kept our glasses full. We will defiantly eat here again next time we are in Gatesville. read more

Very cute inside. The food and service were excellent. Especially the chicken and dumplings.

My husband and I were out driving around today and wanted to try something new so we decided to make the small trip over to Gatesville to visit The Feed Mill. We were not disappointed! We both ordered burgers and they were cooked to perfection! There's a great variety of food choices and appears to be a special each day. The best part....our food came out pretty quick. The service was beyond amazing. From the hostess who seated us to our waitress and anyone else we encountered, it was a very pleasant experience. The dining room was clean and I love the rustic, country charm. We can't wait to go back and try other menu items. Oh, the desserts are pretty tasty, don't leave without one. read more

The food is always hot and fresh. The service is good. The wait staff is attentive and polite. I love eating here.

My wife and I had the chicken fried steak and it was awesome. Our server was friendly and very helpful. The salad coming out on a chilled plate won my wife over immediately. The place is dived up which made it quiet and the decor was very Texas chic. read more

I love the chicken and dumplings and chicken fried steak. Service is quick most the time but try not to go during lunch or dinner rush cause it slows things down a lot and they might run out of the chicken and dumplings. County kitchen feel that beats Cracker Barrel's ambiance by a mile. The sweet tea is great by the way.. read more

Food and Service was superior in every way. We had a party of seventeen on a Saturday afternoon about 1 PM. Every order came out within minutes of each other - fresh, hot, snd correct. The only thing wrong was that I didn't order their scrumptious Onion Rings! read more

We called ahead and it was ready. Next time, I'd like to make time to eat there since it was so cute. Food was great

We were traveling and looking for a good place to have lunch near or in Gatesville and we found the Feed Mill. The food was great. Their green chili burger was amazing; the buns were delicious and the rest was too!! Other good food items were the homemade cheese sticks, chicken fried steak sandwich and even good tea. The staff was so courteous and kind!! Didn't try any of the desserts. We will be back! If you're near hear, check it out! read more

Walking into the restaurant gave me a nostalgic vibes when entering. The foyer was filled with the feel of a museum, then we had to walk through another door which then had even more items you could look at or even purchase. There was even a gift shop, we were starving so we didn't go inside. The service was spot on from the time we entered to the time we left. It was also very speedy. I'm use to only have one set waitress coming to ask if everything was good or if we needed anything but almost anyone who walked by that worked there asked us those questions. 10/10 for the service. When it come to the food. We ordered the Fried Jalapeños for an appetizer. I must say I was in love. Some of the jalapeños were okay to deal with but sometimes you'll get those that will take your breathe away but that just kept me digging in for more. For entrees I ordered the Catfish Special which came with two sides. I ordered Mac n Cheese and Okra. I will say I hoping for more with my sides. The Mac n Cheese taste like they came straight from a box. The okra also taste like it came frozen BUT the Catfish was crisp to my liking. The crunch from it being fried was perfect. My friend ordered the Prime Rib Special which also came with two sides, Mac n Cheese and Tater Tots. If I didn't live so far from this restaurant I would definitely go back and try the other sides they had to offer. read more

Good food neat environment with plenty of stuff to look at. I ordered a burger and it was delicious. I can't recall the exact name but if this was any indication of what the others were I'd bet they were all delicious. read more
