Our waitress came by quickly and asked about drinks and if we wanted rolls. Someone had already said you have to ask for honey cinnamon butter bc they won't bring it out. They brought 3 rolls and these were the best rolls I've ever had. Like so good. She asked if we wanted more but we declined even though we could have eaten a few more! We got a fried chicken salad and the western burger with fries. No steak ik we opted for something else to try first. The food came out at a good temp. Everything was pretty decent but just nothing fancy. Pretty ordinary and just ok. I did really enjoy the freshly made strawberry and lime mixed margarita. It was really great.

Fried fish onion rings(which she brought me French fries instead by mistake) and etoufee dinner and my husband got fried shrimp plate. Only thing good was the warm bread rolls. Fish was good, etoufee was like eating can cream mushroom soup with crawfish in it, so thick my spoon could stand up in it. Onion rings(which she brought me afterwards) and shrimp and hush puppies the batter was chewy like it was old or something. Had terrible taste and texture. Waitress forgot our 2nd order of drinks had to remind her. Sorry we won't be back. Hope the place improves!!

Asparagus is our favorite side, but we are working our way through the sides and deserts. Service is very prompt and professional. Excellent service on all visits. If you are staying overnight in the area, book a room at the Fredonia Hotel. Restaurant and Hotel are together. The quietest hotel room I have stayed in over my 40+ years of travel. So happy that we've been able to pass through and enjoy dinner at the hotel. Small college town, with some super nice people. Put it on your to-do list if you are passing through.

Our visit to the Republic Steakhouse was the deifintion of a "mid" experience.....at a premium…read moreprice. We were seated in the bar section in some very low and comfortable seats that became significantly less comfortable when trying to lean forward and eat. That did wonders from my usually sore back, let me tell you. I had their stuufed flounder and even though it looked more like two crab cakes than a fish, it was actually pretty good. I was happy with it. My wife, on the other hand, ordered a sirloin cooked medium (pink center). What she got was a well-done steak. If this were Denny's and this happened to a $18.99 steak it wouldn't be a big deal but this was at a prime steakhouse and the stead was about $60. My wife went ahead and ate it because she said it still tased good even though it was not what she asked for but the last quarted of the steak because so very grey and dray that she could go no further. She pointed the issue to the server (who didn't even apologize or even seem bothered) and asked that he show the remainder of the $60 boot sole to the manager. Now, we were not looking to recieve any sort of compensation or anything like that. My wife simply wanted the issue acknowledged by the manager since the steak was so expensive and was not cooked correctly. The manager never bothered to show up. This is a clear indication that the management of the Republic Steakhouse doesn't really care about either the quality of the food or the satisfaction of the guests. This is a shame because there is alot to like otherwise. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we will be visiting them again. One final tip for the bar staff: If you are going to charge $18 for an Old Fashioned, you either have to make it good or fill the glass. Pick one.

I called in and found out they sell any individual cut of beef to the public.... so today i decided to go grab lunch. I ordered 3 ribeye steaks for myself and coworkers. I regret not taking a picture of the meat, because it was pretty. Very well marbled. We cooked them over a gas grill, and talk about tender. This was one of the best steaks I have had in some time. I am kicking myself wishing I had found this place extremely sooner. I'm not the biggest large blue chain grocery store fan which is right across the street. Now come to find out I had a local butcher option the whole time. This is a MUST try for anyone in the area. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality that you're receiving. Updated: the very next day we went back and bought 8lbs worth of pork chops. VERY TENDER, extremely juicy. Grilled with minimal seasonings and they were awesome. People at work are raving about them.

When I got my steak it looked like a gray piece of meat with grill marks. I spent most of my time cutting the fat off to get about four quality bites of gray blue meat.

Had a little peppery kick to them. Seared tuna appetizer cooked to perfection. Salad fresh and crisp and baked potato was on point. Our waiter, Hunter was attentive and got us everything we needed.

The jalapeño sausage and quail kabob appetizers were wonderful with some nice bite. They are known for their steaks which were done right to order.

The baked sweet potato was a sweet potato casserole put back into the peeling and nice and hot. My companions tried the buttermilk and coconut pies and reported they were wonderful. Service was excellent and the owners are there making sure all goes well. Note the hours and days are limited but well worth the trip to Patroon Texas

Our table of 10 included people who drove from Jackson, Bossier City, Alexandria, and Many specifically to eat at Mayeaux's, a family favorite for special occasions since they first opened. The food tasted good, but every entree brought to the table was served lukewarm, only slightly above room temperature. None of us said anything at the table, each thinking it was only our plate and not wanting to spoil our get together. When talking about our dinner later in the evening, we found that we all had the same experience. They were busy as usual for a Saturday night, but nothing out of the ordinary. Inconsistent quality is damaging to a restaurant's reputation. We all agreed that it will be awhile before we return.

Twilight zone time!!!!! We drive up to what we think is the diner and the big sign in front says "Dorothy and Debs Redneck Diner" and that they have moved to a new address and listed the address. "Y'all come back diner" was written on the glass which was covered with aluminium foil. It looks like a happening place with all the cars parked outside and people are coming and going, but with aluminium covering the glass you can't really tell so we go looking for the other place and it wasn't there! So.....we go back and decide to go ahead and walk in.... Sure enough it's a diner!!! Aesthetics are definitely not a redneck priority. Freezers out in the open and everything in disarray. The menu was not updated (Dorothy and Debs) and listed the hours on front and closed on Sunday, but we were there on Sunday!! But......in spite of all the confusion, it was the best breakfast we've had in a long time. Everything we had was great!! Eggs and bacon cooked to perfection. Sausage gravy and biscuits.. excellent!! We loved Y'all come back diner or Dorothy and debs...whatever your name!!!
