“If you're having issues fun in this place it's inside chili's! Go by and give him a try. You want wait as long as you do at BWW. But you have to order it online! If you get it delivered you may get to see me!”

“Good LORD I'm hooked. I just drive up and say ?️ "Here, take my hard earned money" ?I absolutely love brisket and his brisket hits just right for my liking. I usually order the sandwich. It's weighed to give you the same satisfaction each time, so that you definitely get your money's worth. It has the perfect balance of meat & fat( lean & moist) and it's salted to perfection.The meat is the star at Wades, but it's just a reflection of Wade himself ✨”

“It truly the best place to eat in Lufkin Texas”

“Fish and shrimp was awesome and delicious!! Good home cooked meal. Staff is friendly”

“I stopped by Heritage Coffee Co. and tried the Salted Englishman, it was DELICIOUS! Rich, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet and salty. I’m so excited to try more of their creative drink options! What made the visit even better was discovering how family-friendly and fun the space is! They have a cozy play area for kids, a pool table, and even a little library where you can trade books. Plus, there are fun items for light shopping around the shop. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to hang out for a while. I can’t wait to go back again!”

“Box Car BBQ absolutely blew us away catering my husband’s Army retirement event! From the start, Jeremy made everything easy with great communication and menu options. On the day of the event, he and his staff were kind, professional, while going above and beyond to take care of every detail. And the food? Hands down the BEST BBQ we and our guests have ever had ANYWHERE in East Texas. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth, the ribs were perfectly smoked, and the sides and sauce are just as amazing. People are still talking about how incredible everything was! If you want flawless service and unforgettable BBQ, Jeremy and his team at Box Car are in a league of their own.”

“My husband and I very much enjoyed our first time here. Everyone is so friendly and sweet. Food is so delicious, and the Lemon Cello cake was better than I expected. Very elegant setting, romantic and highly recommend this place. They do serve more than just pasta. We will be back again. Thank you so much for your kindness and service. Delicious food.”

“Lone Star Charlie’s provides exceptional customer service, hands down. ‼️💯 Although I didn't obtain the names, the waitress who uplifted my spirits following a severe car accident on US 59 was truly an angel 😇 in disguise during a difficult time, and the host ensured my mother's comfort due to her mobility issues. The food was also great. I highly recommend visiting Lone Star Charlie’s near Livingston, TX; you won't be disappointed.❣️”

“Food was served hot and delicious. Fried fish was crispy and perfectly breaded. Prices were very very reasonable. Would definitely recommend! Note: closed on Sunday”

“We were in town for baseball playoffs and just happened to drop in. One of our best all time burgers. Fresh buns, fresh veggies and the meat patties were so good. We added an order of large onions rings. It was the perfect meal before heading to the game. If we lived closer we would definitely be regulars”

“Delicious breakfast tacos, wonderful service, and wonderful employees. Can't wait to try more! From what we got though I would recommend Yokis without a second thought!”

“I was aware of delicious coffee and pastries, but I had no idea about the lunch menu at the Standpipe! I just finished one of the most delicious Gyros I have ever eaten. As if this experience couldn’t be any better - I ordered online from my office, walked over on this beautiful day and picked it up at the end of the counter. I love it when delicious meets convenient!”

“Ares Lea Roberts manages a great clean yogurt place!!”

“I love the aesthetic of the shop! I love the option of NSA!! My daughter and I enjoyed it on our day out. 💕 she beat me in checkers 😆”

“I try something new each time I order. Today was Texas style brisket pho it was delicious. The broth amazing the vegetables fresh and the brisket was fantastic. Please eat here something for everyone. You’ll be glad you tried it. I’m hoping they do so much business so they can open a restaurant in Lufkin.”

“Wonderful. Good food. Like going to old Mexico. Taking my friend there today.”

“Farmhouse Bakery always goes above and beyond with their cakes! Have used them multiple times and am never disappointed! My first experience with them was taking a cake done by somebody and having it fixed, the experience was like no other, and I have continued to use them since. When you walk in the door, you are greeted with a smile and they are so accommodating! Thank you Farmhouse Bakery!”

“Love the sourdough. Carrot cake is amazing.”

“At the last minute, my mother and I selected a Mickey Mouse cake for my uncle's baby shower. The flavors were delightful and the cake was exceptionally moist. We will definitely return to make future purchases.”

“Stopped in from out of town for lunch yesterday. I got the parrillada fajitas it was seasoned great and was delicious. Quite pleased with it. My buddy order the flautas and it looked good too. The garden salsa bought out with the chips was good, but our waiter brought us some chilli taqueria style salsa out as well. All 3 were tasty. If im near lufkin Hudson area again I'd go out of my way to stop in for lunch again.”

“Wonderful service, great food and the owners are wonderful! ❤️💚🤍”

“yalls tamales are the best”

“Okay - first of all the service was so good the entire family commented on it at some point. So energetic. I wish I’d posted the review same day and captured our waitress’ name before I spaced it!! Will update the review at some if I can. Despite how busy they were we still got fast seating, we were checked on regularly, and staff was so energetic and wonderful listeners. Our waitress engaged with and helped the kids make great picks. This might go without saying if you know the area or (get recommendations from others like we do)… this is where you go to get Sushi.

The Sushi is prepared to perfection by dedicated artisans (you can watch through the glass at the bar). Sake Cafe is also very well staffed, clean, comfortable and huge spread of offerings on the menu. Enjoy!”

“Fabulous!!”

“What can I say about this place?! WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!! I was visiting from Alexandria, Louisiana with a friend who grew up in Lufkin and she suggested this place and boy I am so glad she did! The place is very clean and the people are quite friendly. Our order was ready in minutes and the food. OH MY GOSH, THE FOOD!!!!!!!! I have no words. All I can say is IT WAS A BLESSING TO THE SOUL!!!!!!!!! Next time I am in Lufkin, this will be the go-to place.”

“Always very fast, friendly service with a smile! Food & ice cream are delocious!!”

“Taste is extremely good, i would and have gone here every weekend since February and haven’t stopped. I’m a college student and to say this is a treat is an understatement. Not even just the crawfish is good, their fried plates are to die for..!! I love everything about this place 100/10!!!!!”

“Highly recommend Buck's Cup of Joe; this place really gives small businesses, in general, a good name. They're friendly, professional, knowledgeable, skilled, and they genuinely care about their customers! While so many places are raising prices, they're finding ways to give their customers more and more deals and make sure their product is high quality and done right every time! Stop in and give them a chance if you haven't already! If you already have, you already know, so here's your friendly reminder to stop in again! Oh! I recently learned something I didn't even know: the menu is not comprehensive! There are even more items, ask and see if they make something you get from somewhere else! They will put in the work to help you find their version or meet your need!”

“Absolutamente todo esta muy bien!!!!!!”

“Staff was great with awesome customer service Brooke was great to me.”

“Every single thing i got from here was phenomenal! Had my togo order in less than 10 minutes!!! Definitely recommend for anyone's lunch spot!!!!”

“The food tasted great and the portions were big enough to fill me up. So many times I get food and it feels like I keep getting less and less for the money I spent, but that was not the case here. I got a generous helping and the food tasted great. The folks at the counter were quick and efficient, and everyone there was really nice.”

“The pick 3 was nice as we are a senior couple and we each got a cup of soup and shared the half salad which was more than enough. I don’t think the lobster soup was worth the extra premium. Not any lobster pieces I could see mostly cream soup. The chicken tortilla soup was fantastic though”

“owner keeps the employees tips for his own personal needs. owner also takes from tipjar to make it not look so full so more people can tip”

“Very roomy and a friendly atmosphere. Good selection of drinks and bartenders they were friendly and eager to serve.!! I highly suggest stopping in of your passing through.”

“Great atmosphere, friendly staff and tasty frozen treats 😋”

“Good portions of baked potatoes”

“Best Mexican food in east Texas, nothing else is even close.”

“No fake review here. These are absolutely the best corn tortillas I’ve had since I was out in west Texas. The lady running the place was super nice and helpful. Also she had a bunch of Mexican pastries and doughnuts that look really good. Recommend hitting this place for sure.”

“I love it and they no me well”

“This is my every morning 🛑! I don’t even tell them what I want they know their regulars and their donuts are always fresh.”

“If anyone says “Pelican Pointe” I know it’s about to be good. Food is good, energy of staff is good, prices are decent. No complaints here.”

“We just ate here on a friend’s recommendation. It was AMAZING! The barbacoa was soft and melted like butter. The tacos al pastor were incredible, too! We will definitely be back. 🤤”

“If you love pizza in the Lufkin area, Simple Simon’s is the pizza you want every single time. The pizza is just next level and simply delicious. I don’t think I have ever had a better pizza. This pizza changed my life and perspective on everything. I understand it now.”

“The Mangonadas are amazing! ❤️”

“Thank you so much for helping us with food for a family who was having a funeral. When we got in a bind due to electricity outages there was no hesitation in your offer to help! The food was fantastic and we had enough to feed the family!”

“It is the best Mexican food in Lufkin! Everything is awesome, food, service, and atmosphere!”

“Madison Hamilton, Denitra Watkins, and the manager Thomas were really kind and made my birthday celebration extra special! Each of them came over to personally wish me a happy birthday when I was having lunch with a friend on July 4th. Madison and Denitra had just had birthdays so we birthday girls took a picture together. Thomas brought over a fresh baked cookie to help celebrate. It was an all around wonderful experience!”

“what a joy this starbucks is! always fast and efficient service, and my drinks even taste better here than other locations. the staff is so friendly and good-natured as well. it’s the only ‘bucks i visit in lufkin. keep up the good work everyone!”

“owner keeps the employees tips for his own personal needs. owner also takes from tipjar to make it not look so full so more people can tip”

“2 Birria tacos each for lunch and upon request they grilled the onions. piping hot and delicious! a great deal for a quick lunch!!”

“The banana split was FANTASTIC with a perfectly ripe banana in the middle. So many options to choose from on the menu. Staff was friendly and helpful with ordering questions. Will definitely be back!!”

“This place is amazing! I will be back.”

“Very friendly waitress. Fast and attentive service. Food came out fast and it was very delicious. They easily accomadeted us when we walked in with a party of 6. Very clean and pretty resteraunt. And everything is a good price.”

“My favorite place to go ! � pastor tacos all the way!”

“Okay, let me just say this: I’ve eaten at Chick-fil-A for years and I know manager material when I see it. And honey, Alan Gamboa? HE. IS. IT.

This man isn’t even a manager (yet!) and he’s already doing manager things. Like??? He steps in when people are slacking, keeps his cool when the lunch rush is insane, and somehow STILL manages to be nice to literally everyone (even the customers who ask for 12 sauces for one nugget). 🙄💅

He’s the type that shows up early, stays late, and actually cares about the job, not just clocking in and out. And don’t even get me started on his work ethic. Alan doesn’t just go the extra mile, he builds the whole highway.

I’ve seen managers with less leadership in their whole body than Alan has in his pinky. Give this man a title, a headset, and some authority already. Trust me, the store would run smoother and morale would skyrocket.

If he’s not manager material, then I don’t know what is. End of story.”

“Chick-fil-A is always a good place to eat. The service is fantastic, the food is good. It's always busy during mealtimes, but they keep lines moving and the wait is usually fairly short.”

“Every time I go to Louisiana to see my family, I always stop here to eat. It’s sort of like a tradition. Some of the workers here know and recognize me when I come in. These select workers also know my order by heart. The food always comes out great, with no problems, and I’ve never had a mistake in my orders from here. They know what they are doing. However, the only thing they need to work on is professionalism with some of their staff. Yesterday, I saw none of the people that knew me, but the ones that were there were rude. They barely acknowledged me, and were cussing left and right loud enough for the dining room to hear. When asked for assistance in ordering, they kind of laughed amongst each other, finished their conversation, and then decided to come let us order. I’ve never had an issue with Raising Canes, being my favorite chicken restaurant, however, it was yesterday where I saw that the management needs to teach their staff professionalism at work. Either way, the food was out fast and it was great.”

“so glad we found this hidden gem...they close at 3 and we arrived after 2. everything was fresh...buffet was well stocked with homemade food...everything tidy...we were not rushed...when we left there was people still eating and the buffet was still fully stocked...they did not start breaking it down or asking people if they were finished. awesome job”

“Best Whataburger I've been to in a long time. Management, you're doing wonderful. ✨️ Everything was fresh and hot, service was quick and cheerful. I completed the survey on the receipt before I even finished my food.”

“Went this morning and got breakfast tacos and the staff was rude and you ask for red or green sauce and they only give 1 each for multiple breakfast orders and quesadillas had very little egg and the bacon was just bacon fat definitely won't be back. The food is not worth what you pay for it. I wil be finding another place for my weekend breakfast burritos.”

“great customer service,great food , awesome venue”

“Love this shop. Been a minute since last visit but nothing has changed. Sweet lady is very helpful and nice. I had a big order and included some free donuts. She didn't have to do that but it was so nice.”

“This location is interesting... You'll either encounter a staff that is friendly and very pleasant, or you'll get a group that couldn't give a care about you. Overall, a decent place.”

“Had the Tacos Flautas, stuffed with shredded chicken and raw cabbage, and topped with pickled red cabbage. The food was so flippin good and fresh...I'm just ashamed I hadn't tried this little spot sooner. I chose to eat outside but they do have indoor dining and it's very clean and neat. If you're looking for a little detour from the typical Mexican fare, this is your spot. BONUS: They take card! The salsas must be used in moderation; they are merciless.

Edit: Went back and ate with the wife who's kind of a picky eater; she absolutely loved it! My fellow gringos, be not afraid to try this place. It will not let you down.”

“Never heard of this place! Rainy Saturday and wanted Mexican delivered. AMAZING portions and prices snd the food was Soo good! We enjoyed the street tacos and taco salad with fajita beef!! Will be ordering from here again! Both the restaurant AND my Door Dasher were quick and efficient!”

“Just tried for the first time. This place is excellent!!!”

“Burgers and Tacos are amazing!! It's a regular for us!”

“Awesome place great staff great food great drinks”

“I ordered a 12 oz. New York Strip tonight on New Year's Eve. I ordered it medium, when it came out I asked for it to be cooked a tiny bit more. When they brought it out again, she asked me to cut into it. I tried but the entire steak was hard to cut and beyond even being well done. I didn't eat it. I ate mashed potatoes and the salad, that's all. I was really looking forward to a good steak tonight. 😒”

“Service was EXCELLENT !! Waitress was Olivia . Food came fast and was cooked to PERFECTION!!”

“As a group of over 20 people could not believe the excellent & prompt service we received. The food was delicious, ribs were excellent and the wiggly brisket was perfect. Other than the wait to order and pay, the food literally was at our table by the time we got our drinks. Hoping that our group takes us back soon.”

“Probably the best Chinese buffet in the East Texas area.

Parking: Usually parking is not a problem, but the lot can get pretty full at lunchtime.”

“So many flavors to choose from! My go to order is #17 Taco with all the fixings - great flavors and includes some hot sauce to go with it. Great quick options for lunch - salad are delicious and great prices!”

“yalls tamales are the best”

“Great work on the things they have done for my son. Very creative and willing to help with ideas. Friendly staff.”

“It is the best Mexican food in Lufkin! Everything is awesome, food, service, and atmosphere!”

“The staff are always very nice, even at the end of the day when everyone is tired and ready to go home. They are always patient and make sure my order is correct.”

“Good food. The prices are getting crazy on their sandwiches. If you order, use the subway app and use the coupon codes. I was able to get 2 premium footlong sandwiches for 11 dollars after tax.”

“Super fast. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes with a whopper meal. The food at this location has never disappointed. Staff is always happy and helpful. My favorite burger King.”

“Marco's Pizza on Alafaya Trail is back and better than ever. Tonight we had 2 pizza's, an all meats bowl (no crust), and wings, everything was delicious! Customer service is top notch. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“i love casa ole! always super friendly service”

“Such a great old fashioned feeling place! Amazing food selection, and the super fresh food was phenomenal. Here for a wedding but would absolutely come here often if I lived here!”

“Enjoyed the food very much. Both of us had senior breakfast meals and they were plenty of food. Price out the door was very reasonable. Server was great and our food was brought to the table quickly.”

“It's Burger King. This BK is always clean and the staff is friendly.”

“This is a very small buffet. HOWEVER, what they do have is delicious and fresh & the service was great! They actually asked us what we would like them to make fresh since they were slow and didn't want food to sit and go to waste. We thoughly enjoyed our visit and will stop in again when going thru lufkin! 😋”

“Great place, chella is the best server.”

“Súper Delicioso and the people to friendly”

“Food was okay, but not the best. The General Tso's was sweet and had no heat. If that was what I wanted, I would have gone for the honey sesame. Most of the chicken dishes were over cooked thin slices instead of chunks. Chunks hold up better on a heated buffet. Sushi was fair. Spicy mayo sauce was lacking any of the spiciness. Etc etc etc.”

“Best salsa on earth! Service is impeccable.”

“Bartender was happy & attentitive”

“first time at Moe's food was delicious and fresh 😋”

“New store so it was clean. If you're fat lazy steering wheel holder you will like it here. The close parking spots are far away from the store”

“My complaint is that I couldn’t find anywhere to review bodacious on the Google website. Lol I bought a bottle of their barbecue sauce over the weekend and it is the best barbecue sauce ever. Their barbecue is fantastic, but the sauce is amazing. I will be buying more sauce.”

“This was my 1st visit and the guys were all friendly and helpful. The food was all fresh and food portions were great!

I ordered fresh cut Onion Rings, the Catfish & Butterfly Shrimp plate which came with a trip to the Salad Bar, Baked Potato (or FF), Pinto Beans, Cole Slaw & Hushpuppies. Everything was appealing and quite tasty! I will definitely stop in again on my next trip to Lufkin. Thanks for a great supper (& plenty of leftovers 😀), Catfish King! 💜”

“I’ve always enjoyed CrackerBarrel shopping and the food. Food use to be good. Last 3 times we have been to Lufkin Cracker Barrel the food was no good not worth the money or my time. This last visit when we finally got some one’s attention to get butter for our now cold food and also under cooked food. The girl brought a hand full of butter with two or three that were already used. I normally take my mother there but I doubt I will go back u til they get better qualiity all the way around.”

“This place is a hidden gem. I was born in New Mexico and grew up on authentic Mexican and New Mexican food. Eating here brings me back home with the authentic Mexican dishes and homemade tortillas.

If you want Tex-Mex, this is not your place. If you want real, fresh and delicious Mexican cuisine, come eat at Lindo Mexico.”

“Hey y’all I just want to say that when I came in Olivia Miller was my server and she made sure that I was taken care of the entire time. She is very attentive.”

“I’m not one to really write reviews, especially for common stores like a Starbucks, But this morning I stopped before my hair appointment and I was shocked!
The service was AMAZING! The staff were extremely friendly, very kind and helpful! The energy was just amazing from the start! It really gave me a good boost for my day!”
