Such a unique gem of a restaurant! From the layout to the decor, amazing dishes artfully presented, and attentive and knowledgeable waitstaff, I can’t recommend Marfa’s highly enough! Our appetizers were so good, the delish entrees served hot and huge, and desserts that’ll make you wish you’d saved more room… and our waiter Jonathan made it a perfect evening. We’ll be back for more, and often!

Exceptional service from start to finish. Our waiter seemed fairly new, but he was honest if he didn’t have an answer to our question and said he would go find out.I ordered the “pink bubble drink” and he made it halfway to our table from the bar and the bubble popped :o he proceeded to go back to the bar and have them remake it for us so that we got the full experience.The menu had many things I wanted to try, so I will definitely be back. Ultimately, I ended up with the chicken fried streak (gravy on the side to prevent soggy breading as the portion side is huge). The flavor was superb and that gravy truly was a show stopper, was scraping the bottom of the bowl by the end. The smashed potatoes had the perfect amount of crisp, and paired perfectly with whatever little serving of orange sauce they make.In the end, no room was saved for dessert, but I can only imagine how good they are. Would recommend to everyone in BCS to go support and visit this place! (Be sure and get a reservation)

Despite being someone who frequents many restaurants through travels, I never leave a review. But this time I HAD to. The food was delicious! Those mushroom tacos were spectacular and I should’ve ordered some to go as well. The customer service was mind-blowing. I dropped my fork mid-dinner and without even asking, I had a new one in hand. My server, Ailin, literally heard me drop it and brought me a new one. She was extremely kind, patient with my guest who had so many menu questions, and made a PERFECT margarita. My only slight slight downside was that I was hoping to see a broader dessert menu. The sheet cake was good but adding a scoop of ice cream to it would’ve been pretty good.

Found this little gem while waiting on new tires! I ordered the fig & pistachio goat cheese appetizer as well as the shrimp & scallop risotto… both excellent! My server was knowledgeable about the entire menu and gave great suggestions as well as awesome service! The menu is filled with fabulous culinary treats and the prices are fair. I will definitely come back!
My sister treated me to my birthday lunch here. Staff was friendly and professional. Food was delicious. We had coconut shrimp tacos and chicken tortilla soup. Loved the Texas caviar ?.

Marfa, Marfa, Marfa!My wife's friend and coworker first recommended Marfa Texas Kitchen (henceforth MTK), and I'll be the first to admit I was somewhat skeptical at first. For one, I don't even know what or where Marfa, Texas is--I'm rather uneducated in the ways of Lone Star geography--and for two, a quick glimpse into the Palantíri (Google) revealed what the professional contrarian in me believed to be a drab cellar with an overexerted theme. Again, I am quite skilled at judging before I have all the facts.Not only did I eat my words, but I'm glad I also ate the food here as well, because MAN let me tell you... MTK is *easily* my new favorite restaurant in Bryan College Station (endless apologies, Gate 12! I still love you!).Every story has a beginning, so let's start from the moment my wife asked me to make the reservation. Being the ancient being that I am, rather than pull up the establishment on Internet Explorer, visiting Bing, and typing "make a reservation for two for a very special evening but nothing too expensive maybe mid-priced but still delicious" like all the other youngfolk would do, I picked up the phone and gave the restaurant a ring. That call was met with a friendly voice from an incredibly helpful person who called herself Sydney, who I've since discovered is the mastermind behind this hidden haunt. Sydney walked me through the menu and, unprompted, offered to make me a menu item for dinner that was normally only on the lunch menu. She was so delightful in our conversation and said things like, "Well, we want you to come here, enjoy your food, and leave happy with what you ate and how you were treated," and I could tell I wasn't just receiving lip service.When my wife and I arrived, we were quickly sat at a cozy table for two, and the preconceptions I had forged before about the dim lighting and artsy atmosphere were quickly snuffed out by just how infectiously joyful the atmosphere was there. Not to mention the theme totally WORKS: the funky mannequin across from the wine, the voguish projector screen at the bar, all the way down to the abiding ceramic Luzerne dinnerware on which guests' meals were being served. The MTK has class and comfort in spades.No date night at a nice restaurant can be superb without superb service, and this is where Hannah comes into the story. She greeted us warmly, efficiently explained the menu's range of options in great detail, and even recognized that I was the extra fellow who asked for a lunch item in the evening. Throughout the meal, Hannah would check on us frequently but not *too* frequently, seeing if we needed refills or to ensure the quality of the provisions being served. She was personable and laughed with us throughout the evening. We'll be requesting her each visit from now on, though I'm sure the rest of the staff are just as outstanding.Now for the food. Oh, the FOOD! What can I say about the food at MTK other than it just simply dismantled the local competition in every way. From the Lite Ya Up Calamari and Virgie's Stuffed Eggs we ordered as appetizers to the Scottish Salmon and the Fresh Catch of the Day (which ended up being a perfectly-cooked halibut), this eatery's cuisine delighted our senses in an almost invasive way. The seasoning on every dish was perfection, the creativity of flavors was jarringly clever, and each unforgettable bite from every product we tried left us embarrassing ourselves with selfish indulgence.The food is quite good. I hope I've made that clear enough.Of the two trips my wife and I have made to Marfa Texas Kitchen, what has stood out the most to us, amidst a sea of blog-worthy successes, is the care that the entire staff shows for its guests. Everyone from the friendly hostess to the can't-possibly-pay-her-enough server, Hannah, to who we assumed was the restaurant manager and the owner, Sydney. I've already preached this into the ground, so I'll conclude with a final word of advice for local meal-seekers:Go try Ma
