“We come here from a western Chicago suburb because the food has always, always been great. My husband loves the frog legs and I love the perch, the best perch I’ve ever eaten, truly. We came here on Thursday evening, a real spur-of-the-moment thing and weren’t disappointed. This time I ordered the walleye pike & found it delicious. Two big filets of it which I enjoyed thoroughly. My husband got the frog legs as usual; neither of us went away hungry & loved everything. It’s dismaying to hear that others have had bad service or less than excellent food; we have never had that experience in the last 15 years that we’ve come here. A terrific night out! Thanks, Teibelsj“

“I recently stopped by Texas Corral for lunch and had a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. We arrived during lunchtime and were pleasantly surprised to have no wait at all, which made it an easy and relaxed visit. The dining area was clean, comfortable, and had a welcoming, casual atmosphere that works well for both quick lunches and sit-down meals.

For our meals, we ordered the ribeye steak and the country fried steak. Both entrées were seasoned well and cooked just right. The ribeye was juicy, flavorful, and tender, with a nice balance of seasoning that didn’t overpower the meat. The country fried steak was equally satisfying—crispy on the outside, tender inside, and paired perfectly with rich, savory gravy. Portions were generous and filling, especially for a lunch meal.

Service was another highlight of our visit. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out promptly without feeling rushed. Drinks were refilled regularly, and we felt well taken care of throughout the meal.

Overall, Texas Corral delivered great food, excellent service, and a smooth lunch experience with no wait. It’s a solid choice if you’re craving classic comfort food done right.“

“Always a great time and great food and environment.“

“First time visiting. And the first thing I noticed was pulling into the parking lot and it was jam Packed, which is always an awesome sign!! What seated right away and our waitress was prompt. I ordered the chicken skillet. It was good.But honestly, I don't think the chicken was done enough.Or the vegetables. But it was better than adequate, just not perfect. Our waitress was kind of a little off maybe too many customers. I asked for napkins twice and twice.She forgot them. She also seemed to be rushing us out.I was literally still eating, and she tried to grab the skillet away from me. But all in all it was a good experience.I will definitely be back when I visit my friend again.“

“I have always liked Bob Evans but this particular day there was a young lady there by the name of Shay Davis. She was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable and personable with everyone that she came in contact with. My order was correct, hot and very enjoyable. Because of Ms. Shay I will definitely be back to this location and tell everyone that I know about this location. She should be moved up to General Manager because she definitely knows her stuff.“
