The catfish and chicken fried steak were great. The service was excellent. No wait and very family friendly. No alcohol though. That's not a game changer. I believe I saw alcoholic beverages on the amenities. Anyway we'll go back. read more

Party of 3 we all had the chicken fried steak a variety of vegetables all was amazing and taste homemade. Service was great waitress was super nice and attended to all our needs. Would highly recommend Wolf Den Family Restaurant read more

Great atmosphere, service and food for dinner on Saturday at 5pm. Grilled club and crispy chicken wrap were fresh and great portions. Will be back. read more

Ordered the chicken wrap, it was drenched in sauce and the chicken was so tough I couldn't even chew it after 2 bites it went in the trash. Fries aren't good like they use to be either, this place has declined drastically read more

Stumbled upon this place on our way home from Oklahoma. It was clean, food was great and reasonably priced, and our service was fast and friendly. Even at 2 on a Sunday afternoon there was still a steady flow of patrons, which tells you how good the food is. Hidden little gem that we will be remembering for our trips to visit family. Thank you Wolf Den! read more

Great soul/comfort food. Large servings, go hungry. Excellent chicken fry, curly fries and okra. Service great, friendly staff. I sent 8-10 family members the same week. All had great reviews over a variety of menu items. It's worth the trip, or a stopover on I-35 outside Gainesville. read more

If you go here make sure you're hungry because they serve large portions. The was good and so was the service. The inside was nice but plain nothing special. We will go back if we are in the area read more

Great home cooked food. Nice, clean restaurant. Friendly and welcoming staff. Savannah, our server, was wonderful. Definitely worth the extra few minutes from the interstate. read more

I didn't get time to buy myself a meal. I did order myself a cherry cheesecake! It was creamy perfect on the sweetness and paired well with my Starbucks coffee. I did order my 2 year old a kids meal (tenders with fries). Perfect place for moms in a hurry and want to feed their kids something on the healthier side rather than fast food kids meals. * Affordable * soft chicken * French fries are delicious! Service was friendly, quick and inviting. Thank you ! read more

Found this spot when we were looking for a place to have a lite dinner. Shared a baked potato and ordered salads. Only house made dressing was the ranch, which was decent. The potato was large, and came with plenty of toppings. Had that "family owned" vibe, and the service was attentive. read more

Great food! Clean place and wonderful staff. Ample servings for sharing. Definitely will go back when I'm in the area.

Good was good! Service was outstanding! The place was big and clean! Will definitely be back!

Food is delicious with excellent service. Good, down home American food. Ambiance is not great, but is a good, family place to go to eat.

Home style cooking. Portion sides are huge. Service was great. Would visit again. Baked potatoes are big and super stuffed. read more

Service was a little more attentive than I expected, the recommendations by the server, were right on and very good. I've seen this place a hundred times but today I stopped, and I'm glad I did. It's a place I'll go back to. read more

My family loves this restaurant. We love the family atmosphere and also the food is just like a family style diner.

For a little diner off the main highway going south from OK into TX - this place is a hidden treasure!! Food was GREAT! We had fried catfish + shrimp with green beans side, beef quesadillas, and a turkey BLT w tater salad. PERFECT sized proportions and all of it was fresh and NOT heavy on any of the fried foods. Deeelish! Service was superb - very friendly staff! Ambiance - great diner vibe and cozy! read more

WORST SERVICE EVER. Didn't catch the name of the 'server' (and I use that term lightly), but the big, tall blonde girl should not be in the food service industry. Never received our meal. She didn't notice because she was too busy meandering around with nothing to do but chat with her buddies in the corner by the kitchen. She didn't notice our empty drinks or our food that never came out. We sat for an hour waiting before deciding to leave. SHE DID NOT CARE ONE BIT about her her customers. She didn't check on us. She didn't refill our drinks. She never came back to the table once she took our order. She ran up to us as we were standing in line at the register to pay for our drinks and the salads that another waitress brought to our table, and made some kind of lame-o excuse about our ticket being lost and she had no idea where it went. Do you think an actual server might notice their customer has no food? Or that their drinks were empty? Maybe??? Here's a thought...Maybe she could've asked the cooks??? - OR -Maybe she could've done her job and CHECKED ON US??? JUST ONCE?! I previously gave this place 5 stars. Because of this experience, I take my 5 stars back and give them 1, and they are lucky there isn't an option for a zero rating. I'm SO angry!!! Not sure we will EVER risk this kind of experience by eating here again. Sad. There goes our regular stop on the weekends. read more

We recently had the pleasure of eating here while visiting family in Sherman Texas. Wow this place I can't say enough about. The place is clean. The people are really nice and the menu has plenty of choices. I opted for the chicken fried steak. Bcz I make an effort to try everyone's chicken fried steak. I do the same with carnitas. I love both. So I make it my goal to find the best. Well this places hands down has the best chicken fried steak I have ever eaten. I haven't been too impressed with most places chicken fried steak lately. But this one had perfect breading. Excellent steak with gravy. It's just tasted great. I went all out fat boy. I had the mashed potatoes with gravy and green beans. Then I saw someone get the Mac and cheese. So I was like oh hell yes. I hollered to the waitress and she promptly brought me some. Man this food was so good. That I'd be a regular if I lived near by. Which may happen soon. The waitress was very friendly and had a great personality. I can't even remember what my family ordered LOL. Bcz I too busy enjoying my food. Bravo Wolf Den! What a great place! We will be back! read more

I have to say we were a group of six who were disappointed in our meals. My husband loves chicken fried steak. My daughter boyfriend also ordered chicken fried steak. The steaks were spoilt. The meat was green/gray. My husband discretely told our waitress that the meat was spoilt. She offered to replace it and he declined. Next we have what we assume is a manager come and tell my husband that the steak is fine it just tastes that way because it is soaked in buttermilk. My husband explained he knows when meat is spoiled. She dropped of a piece of German chocolate cake that was probably close to a week old "on the house". He didn't eat it either. They spilt ranch all over the boyfriends steak. I ordered the jalapeño grilled pork chop. It was tough as boot leather. Thankfully the potatoes (instant) were edible. The 4 layer chocolate cake was chocolate pudding with whipped cream on a pie crust that wasn't edible. The mandarin orange cake was decent. The pinto beans had absolutely no seasoning at all. After paying $120 bucks we will pass on this place when we come back to Gainesville. read more

Food was very good. The portions are huge. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.

The chicken fried steak was horrible due to the fact that to me it tasted like they fried it in the same oil as a fried catfish in. My wife and I could neither one eat it. Do not recommend. read more

We stopped here while just driving through the country. All the food was great. Huge chicken fried chicken. Service was excellent. Prices are about the same as chain restaurants so not cheap eats but you get big portions and it's delish. We'd definitely go back if we were in the area again. They even have a food challenge. read more

First time here (thanks to the billboard). The food was amazing! The service was amazing! The food is freshly made. We had the catfish with 8 pieces. Plenty for 2! Also had the chicken fried steak and it was as big as the plate. Wish we could have had room for dessert. Definitely worth a trip from the metroplex! read more

Delicious catfish and amazing cornbread! They also have a drive thru option for pick up orders if you are in a rush-- great place to dine with daily lunch specials read more

Wolf Den Family Restaurant - Delicious catfish and amazing cornbread! - American Near Me - Gainesville, Texas

Me and my mom were passing through Gainesville and we were dying of hunger. We looked on yelp and saw Wolf Den and thought we would give it a try. I got the chicken tenders and they were perfectly cooked and very crispy on the outside so it had a nice crunch. The prices are very good and the employees are very kind and they bring the food out very quickly. If you are looking for a lot of food they have the wolfden challenge which has 5 chicken fried steaks and some other stuff and if you eat it within the time limit it is free and if not it is only $35 which is a really good price if you are eating with a few people. They have special sides depending on the day you go there. When we went they had black eyed peas and Mac and cheese. I recommend this to anyone passing through Gainesville with an appetite. read more

Your very average local family dinner. People are nice enough, but their burgers are very very well done. Fries are freshly made at least. Bad no worth going back also no read more

I tried the chicken fried steak, I rate it 7/10. I enjoyed it. Wolf Den is a very humble restaurant, definitely a good place to bring your family. read more

Because of the ratings, we chose Wolf Den for lunch as driving through. Service was friendly, but food was not great. Hamburger Steak - very dry Chicken wrap - very dry Patti Melt - formed burger and not fresh French fried - undercooked Not sure if this was just an off day, but don't think we would stop again. read more

Food was very good. We got the chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken. Sides were mashed potatoes, fried okra, salad. Everything tasted so fresh and so good. The service was also amazing. Definitely would recommend and will be back!!! read more

Fantastic fried pickles and a great patty melt, but their sweet tea and baked potato salad are both even better than that. It's a great place to stop if passing through Gainesville. read more

Food is tasty, prices are decent. I guess I was a little confused on their cheeseburgers, even though it's clearly written on the menu I couldn't decide on what I wanted, everyone in my party had ordered so I hurriedly ordered "just a regular cheeseburger, Mayo no mustard", expecting cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles...the whole normal toppings. What I got was some type of white cheese- it wasn't Swiss - mustard, tomatoes and lettuce. Which it was fine, just not my favorite choice of toppings. By looking at the choices of hamburgers on the menu, I'm not sure they have a "regular" one, if we go back, I'll have to pay more attention, lol. Granted, our waitress told us it was her first day going solo. She was sweet!! And probably 15 or 16 (yes, we tipped her 25% because she was precious and young and working!!) My husband got their chicken fried steak and it was very good!! read more

after 25 years I had my first visit to the wolf den restaurant. I don't know why I waited so long.... wonderful service, clean-comfortable environment. Great home style food. Very large portions. Order a to go box when you place your food order. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommend read more

I usually am very critical of chicken fried steak because it is over done or has to much batter however my meal at this places had perfect seasoning, texture and fry to it. The plate was much larger than I needed and portions were huge. This easily could have been 2 meals for me even after a busy day and being very hungry. The service was very quick. We ordered and had our food within less than 15 minutes, fresh made to order for three. Before our food arrived our waiter had checked on us 2 times just to make sure we were ok. Overall great experience on my first trip here. read more

We ordered lunch for take out. A Cheese steak with cheese and veggies on the side. Small Cesar salad and a small dinner salad. Sadly we got the sandwich with everything on it. But everything else was great and we will give this place another try! read more

Great food, prices and family oriented. They were very fast and friendly. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich

Ample menu items and good service from waitresses. They offer specials and have the old standbys like chicken fried steak (plate or sandwich), Catfish, pork chops, chicken, burgers and large, fresh servings of salads, and other favorites. Not on the main roads (I-35 or US 82), but worth the short side trip down Highway 51. read more

Great food and the waitresses are on point. The food is always great and its a nice family friendly environment read more

Ordered to go for lunch . Two large teas - which were fresh brewed and tasted great.. club sandwich and fries and then a kids catfish with fries and beans.. service was fast and friendly . Inside was clean and had a country small diner charm.. fish and sand which were great ... the downside were the fries .. they were soggy and greasy tasting.. so don't know if they were old or just made in a big batch.. the cornbread with the fried fish was great... but the beans were very bland ... we will for sure go back.. And try again ... thank you for the friendly service !!! read more
