4 Best American Restaurants in Blessing

“This is a 100+ year old hotel. We went for lunch. Food is good home cooking. Serve yourself take as much as you want a return to get more as many times as you like. $15.00 cash only.
Hotel has one room on display with original furnishings. There are rooms upstairs for rent.
It is off the beaten path, so you have to really want to go there. Texas Counrty Reporter, Daytriper and Texas Bucket List have all given it great reviews. Hotel is in Blessing TX. About halfway between Houston and Corpus Christi.“

“Well worth the drive! Friendly staff and scratch made food. Thank you!“

“Made the trip via Blessing just to lunch at the coffee shop. We waited a couple minutes to see a worker, then other guests clues us what to do. Then the cashier appeared to guide us and take our money. It was $15 each for the weekend lunch.
.
The arrangement is a buffet. You get your plate at the cashier, then work through the buffet. There is salad, hot dishes, drinks (water and tea are included), breads, and cobbler. You can make multiple trips, but need to use a fresh plate for each trip.

I got liver and onions, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, and--of course--kernal corn. Expect home-style cooking, you won't be disappointed.
.
The liver and onions were fantastic. The kernal corn was sweet. The mashed potatoes had lots of lumps, which I like. The star was the fried chicken.
.
The breading was flavorful and ultra crisp. The meat was juicy and perfectly cooked. It was a nice big breast, with plenty to enjoy. Even so, I went back for a second breast. I picked the largest, which was on the bottom and subject to continued cooking for that reason (the pans are kept on a stove top); it was overcooked for that reason. If you stick to the freshest and are not a glutton, you won't have better fried chicken.
.
I came away stuffed to the gills. We'll be back.“

“Oh my. I've heard about this place for a long time and last night we dined there with some friends. Waitress was so pleasant and upbeat. I had chicken fried steak and it was so crispy and tasty as was the green beans and mashed potatoes. I ate one of the best salads I have ever had also. We are definitely going back even though it an hour drive for us. If you get a chance dine here.“
