“My boyfriend and I went tonight for dinner. The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly, especially the gentleman working the dining area. Definitely recommend!“

“Catfish dinner was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Still piping hot when I got home. Fries were delicious. A real side of coleslaw, not just a tiny pill cup. My dinner was packaged with care. Even gave me hand wipes, packaged plastic ware and REAL napkins, not flimsy toilet paper squares. First time customers get a free drink. I will definitely return. Very clean.“

“Great vibes great food and a safe environment to enjoy any celebration 🎉🎉🎉“

“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.“

“We were first timers at Frank's and very pleasently surprised. We got the roast beef sandwich... Delish! and pulled pork sandwich. With the good selection of BBQ sauces on the table, it was nice to try a couple different options. I stopped at the 50/50 sauce. It's a perfect blend. I would say some of the very best I've ever had. We definitely see why Frank's is so popular. Great portions and flavor like nothing we have had in the past. The service was extremely friendly and fast. Our food came out piping hot. Great experience and we will be back. One thing I would warn, if you order hot peppers/giardiniera it is VERY hot. I think it should come with a warning 🙂 You would be smart to order it on the side and taste it first 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.“

“Served us excellent BBQ dinner with high-quality, tasty meats (brisket, pulled pork, and turkey). Very unique tasting BBQ beans, Brussel sprouts were flavorful, and we even enjoyed the Cole slaw. We really enjoy SPICY BBQ sauce and both the Bombers (HOT) and ATOMIC (VERY HOT) did not disappoint. Good portion sizes and we even had meat leftover, which was still very tasty for the next morning's breakfast.

Nice decor with the beverage tap wall and pinball machines in the back. Staff was friendly.“

“The Crown Point location is great. I prefer their food over any of their other locations. Not sure if it's because it's the newest site to open but I hope that the quality of the food and service does not change. A solid 4 stars!“

“The food was simply AMAZING … the best kebab platter I have ever had … and the hospitality shown by the owner Zozy was wonderful .. she was super friendly and provided us with wonderful service. Would most def go here again as the food was just too good… it was packed with flavour and absolutely food coma worthy … the meat platter is drool worthy and the fries are the best I’ve probably wver had. ( crunchy salty and just amazing )“

“Shout out to Carrie from the corporate office. Thank you again for helping my mom to get to actually enjoy the steak she wanted for Mother’s Day!! While workers at the location brushed us off, she actually took the time to call back ( very quick) and was very understanding and understood what it meant to my mom. I truly appreciate you for that and also for your excellent customer service and pleasant and patient attitude!!!! Which is something that is very rare these days!!!!
