They use real hickory wood on site and you can smell it when you walk in (and when you get home!) Solid all around and totally gonna visit this joint again soon!“

Mrs. Kye was well organized with her orders, and had a wonderful personality, and kept us taken care of out whole time we were here. Great asset to the first watch team, keep it Kye thanks .☺️“

She made sure we had everything we needed and all the food tasted fresh and delicious. I am very pleased with the place. I’ll definitely come back.“

“Love the seafood platter. The plain rolls are huge but flavorless. Difficult for seniors with bad knees to get up all the stairs. We only go there for special occasions due to prices for seafood being so high. Noticed that the Women's restroom is worn out, falling apart and needs to be upgraded!“

“Taste's better than my cookin' cause I don't have to fix it!! Restaurants with this kind of food is getting obsolete.Keep on keepin' on and you will be in business another 54 years. I've had breakfast and lunch here. Not disappointed yet and I've been a customer for about 9 years now. Waitstaff is very friendly and prompt!“

“One of the best desserts I have ever had! Highly recommend the funnel cake fries. I was assuming that it would be too sweet due to everything that it had been added but I was wrong. Everything meshed perfectly and I can still remember the taste!“

“The food was great my cook was jessica and she personally came to greet me and ask if my steak was cooked the way i liked it... My server was christina and she made sure my coffee mug was always filled up and that everybody at the table was good i will totally be coming back 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This is a hidden gem in Pasadena! It is a quaint cafe with AMAZING food! My boyfriend and I started with the brisket loaded fries….absolutely delicious! I had the grilled turkey and spinach panini and I added avocado and my boyfriend had the sycamore 2s which came with 2 eggs, 2 of your choice of meat, and 2 pancakes. The pancakes were divine and melted in your mouth. The service was great as well. Our waitress was very attentive even though they had a full house (literally…the cafe is a house ?). You have to check this place out. The grounds are beautiful. They also have a bed and breakfast and a wedding venue onsite.Parking: Nice size parking lot.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp for those in a wheelchair.“

“We love coming here for dinks, shots and food! Plus u get to watch sports games playing on the TV's, they have daily specials w food, games to play u can win money on and it's a great atmosphere. Service is always great. We usually love to get the brisket burger but we went w the HUGE beef fajitas burrito. U can choice a few different kinda meats if u don't want beef fajitas. It has beans, ground meat, cheese sides and all kinda great stuff inside it. U can share it w a few people. Me and my husband got it and could not finish it. It was very good and has a great flavor of all kinda goodness! Everything we have tried has been amazing.... A great place to go and unwind.“

“Ernie's had amazing food! I have lived in the area for almost 40 years and have never gone there due to the fact they close so early in the day. I can't get there during their hours. However, my friend hosted a private event there, and finally, I was able to eat there. The food was so good!! I seriously am not over exaggerating. You must eat here. Staff was super good too. 5 star restaurant for sure!!!“

“My review stands, solid place with service. Last time I visited got the brie burger, chia pudding, meatloaf and chocolate creme pie. No faults! I will comment on the property. I took snapshots of the B&Bs and the quaint environment they provide.“

“Great family atmoshpere this sunday as soon as we walked in my old folks had already ordered a table for 6 not even 5 mins waiting we sat at a comfy round table and sipping our drinks the food was delicious and plntyfull and our waiter was attentive and always ready for service Overall an ng experince thank yall!“

“I’ve eaten here 3 times within the last 2 weeks and each time has been spot on. Everything is made fresh and the service is always amazing. The smoked wings are so good! Tasted like a mixture between Buffalo and bbq sauce. Wally good smoky flavor. The ribs were good as well, the brisket was juicy and the Turkey was so tender and juicy! The cornbread is delicious, the creamed corn is delicious, even the banana pudding the top it off was really good. Definitely a hidden gem in deer park!“

“I enjoy eating here. My sister was in the hospital so my brother and I stopped to eat here on our way home. Neither of us had eaten the whole day and it was nearly 9 pm.The waitress was so sweet. Very respectful in true southern style with Yes ma'am 's and sirs. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu items. This is the first time, in three years, I've enjoyed the kindness of our waitress. The food was excellent as well. Steak was cooked a perfect medium rare. The salad was fresh, crispy and delicious. I'm not much for rolls either but this night their rolls were warm, soft, and delicious. I did ask for regular butter. I don't care for cinnamon butter. They were happy to substitute. The unsweet tea was perfect too. I truly enjoyed my meal. The ambiance rating was based on me being tired and I just didn't care for all the noise. They couldn't help that so the rating shouldn't reflect badly on them.I hope this review helps. They do have handicap parking and restrooms, also they're fine with you taking home leftovers.This was also the first time in four years of visiting that my table was clean and we didn't have to ask for them to clean it better.They do have high chairs and alcohol is served here.“

“One of our favorite places for date night! Do not recommend big family gatherings because of the wait time. The spinach dip and complimentary honey butter croissants are our favorite. Nice, cozy environment to spend time with your loved ones.Kid-friendliness: I personally don’t take my small kids because I’m trying to enjoy my meal.“

“We have shopped here for year's that's why I am so disappointed with the service which I received tonight. I oder online with a delivery the food came no all of it. When I tried to get a refund I was told to call D.D. who could not find my order. I paid an extra Five dollar fee for delivery on top of 12.00 tip not to get all of my order. The General Manager explained that I have to come up there. I explained we were not wanting to drive tonight. So D.D. didn't have any record. Very disappointed the management dropped the ball. Hate to stop shopping here over this I'm out 23.00“

“Update!We are so glad to see Richard back! He is always so helpful. Always checking on us and making sure we’re taken care of!This location is my family’s go-to for wings. They are always on point. The manager, Richard, is amazing … always courteous and welcoming. He makes it a point to come to the table and say hi every time. The staff is incredible, too. A special shout-out to Abby and Phil!“

“Decided to drop by was curious of the place I got the breakfast special everything was homemade which I like wish the toast was a bit more toasted but all in all good deal for 7$ I'd rather go here then spend the same on a McDonald's breakfast. Guy at counter recommended special didn't take long to make at all and I was on my way!“

“The burgers here will definitely solve your hunger pain! The hamburgers are amazing, and I suggest the jalapeño cheese sour dough for the bun. There is plenty to pick from, and I've never been disappointed at all. Nice people and great food period.“

“The family really enjoyed our dinner here. The wait was a little long for the food, but I think we came in at the end of a rush, and they were getting close to the end of the night but they made the wait worth while with great service and excellent food. I will return soon.Parking: Large areas that can accommodate RVs or commercial vehicles without causing a fuss with the 4 wheelers.“

“I was pleasantly surprised. I would have given a 5 star, but the bacon was slightly burned on my wife's plate. My wife ordered the Elizabeth and I ordered the BJs biscuit and gravy with eggs...nice toich on the black pepper on the eggs and hashbrowns. Flavors were outstanding. I recommend this place and I'm certainly will return....and zero wait time like other breakfast places in Crosby. Give it a try.“

“Food is great, but we ordered pick up and it was a mess. Half of the order sat getting cold while we waited in the crawfish. Finally got out about 20 minutes later and found out the order was wrong. Long story short, the food is good, but best to eat in and not order to go or pick up.“

“Unfortunately, this wasn't the best visit. Our server made it worth it . She was kind and helpful. My order had u cooked onions in the hashbrowns. She got it fixed. The waffle had u cooked batter . I didn't wanna create to much fuss. It appeared to be alot of training going on. Shouting the sales targets and using the words push biscuits and gravy to increase sales. Is very unpleasant. I almost feel forced as a guest to take the up-sale. The place wasn't nasty. Tables were clean. Restrooms were clean .“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We have been wanting to try this place out because we keep hearing how good the food is and how different the atmosphere is. I am so happy we finally tried it this morning! The burgers was delicious! Perfect amount of toppings and sides! The Wet Dreams burger and fries was outstanding my husband said it was the best burger he’s ever had and I agree! The fries was still crunchy and the seasoning on the fries was great! Hands down best burgers around! If you haven’t tried it your missing out! We will make eating there a weekly thing from on! Will be recommending to all our friends and family! Thank you to the woman I spoke with over the phone. Very kind and sweet.“

“Me and my family came to cracker Barrel and dined in for breakfast on 4/20/24. Our server was Omega, she was courteous, kind, funny. My daughter has a dairy allergy and she was kind enough to explain everything to her. Thank you omega we love your smile and service. The Duvenary & Jones familyDietary restrictions: My daughter has dairy allergies and she was very helpful.“

“They sure can clear a room! Those girls are quick quick quick!!! Great team work. No having 2 wait for things. Oh yes went in the morning time. You know....the going 2 school and work rush. I go there pretty regular now.My grandsons turned me on to them. As a matter of fact it was his idea for breakfast! Haven't been disappointed yet. And get a card have it stamped every time u go & get free after so many visits.Enjoy.Later.....“

“My order was not correct and when I asked if they could fix it they were very rude about making the changes that I initially requested. The order receiver needs to learn how to follow directions or read your order correctly. The food was great and the atmosphere seemed nice. I placed order to go.“

“We came to try this place out on a Thursday night and it wasn’t too packed , I love the cleanliness of the sit in area. We ordered two burgers and the papa con trompo and it was delicious, I wish I took pictures but that’s honestly how fast we ate the food ❤️ 10/10 . The Agua de sandia was also perfect , not too sweet and just enough ice.“

“Me and my family went and had some wings on Tuesday and some random guy unprovoked payed for our meal, literally never talked to him and he went out of his way to pay for us so 10/10 for the community that the time outs bring to anywhere they are located. The owner and his wife are also really great people who really know how to run a good chain of bars“

“The food was ok until I got to the pancakes and found hair in it. The first Dennys I went to on Garth rd the guy was rude he ask for my ID because they didn't have a scanner to scan my coupon even though he seen coupon and it and it said expires 04/07/25 he wouldn't take it.“

“All around fantastic experience. I was very surprised. This was the first time I've ever eaten at a restaurant associated with a golf course. I am not a golfer. The food was top-notch, and the service was fast and friendly. My diet Pepsi glass was always full. A business associate brought me here. I would have never found the place on my own. The dining room was clean, wide open with plenty of space, and provided a beautiful view of a golf course.“

“Love this place - everything on menu always great, fast, and wayyyyy better than fast food chains, especially around here. Prices good, lots of flavors and options, handmade orders are perfectWheelchair accessibility: Easy access. Park in front of doors“

“Split up into two rooms with a dozen diamond pool tables, close to that many dartboard, golden tee, tvs everywhere, front bar and pizza corner with handmade pizza you can watch, lots of tables and chairs from lunch until 2am , down the hall through doorway is pool tournament room with darts, lots of seating a separate 40ft bar with staff separate from front room ready to handle kitchen or bar orders“

“These wings were the best wings I had in a long time!!! I got the half & half hot garlic & (my favorite) creamy garlic parmesan [battered wings] with all mixed fries definitely worth it!!! The place seems cool (definitely good places for food and drinks) The service was nice also fast. The food was fresh like I like it!!! I’m not from here but I’ll be back!!! I highly recommend this place so don’t walk RUN babyyy!!!“

“It's everything you'd expect a Waffle House to be. Irreverent, delicious, and full of charm. Fry cooks yelling at each other, flies buzzing, coffee steamin', and the occasional crackhead making an appearance. When I enter this fine establishment, it's like I am transported to a realm of awe and wonder, where life is simple and everything makes sense; like a warm embrace from the father I never had.“
