This hole in the wall restaurant is SO AMAZING! MAC our waitress was sweet and mad a kick ass dirty martini! The food was spectacular ( I had the Louisiana BBQ Shrimp, Asparagus and MacnCheese with a side salad with raspberry vinaigrette) I honestly have to say It’s one of the BEST meals I have ever had). The ambience is very nice, light jazz with low candle like lights. Everything was perfect! My mom had the 16oz Ribeye cooked to perfection with brussel sprouts and garlic roasted potatoes. She said it was delicious! DEFINITELY a must visit place!

This is our first visit to the hole in one and I was impressed. The food was exceptional as was the environment. This restaurant has a dish invented by the owner's father that is outstanding. I had a unique chicken fried steak. Not a "Texas" chicken fried steak, with unique sauce and not made from skirt steak so to call it chicken fried steak was kind of a disservice. The sides were exceptional. I loved the corn pudding. The dessert menu had 2 choices, I had the bread pudding which was also unique since it uses croissant bread instead of another choice. We will go again and look forward to the visit. I will add more as I learn more. The resteraunt is only open for dinner, but the nurse who recommended this location gets takeout frequently and we may have to try this. Enjoy! 😍
Parking: Small footprint but well worth the visit.

I'm hesitant to write about this spot as I've lived and worked here for more than three years and was just introduced to it, so it's kept a low profile, but here we are. Attached to one of the lowliest of motels in Lufkin, you'll find a nice quiet and, believe it or not, classy little restaurant. Hole in one serves top-notch american classics like chicken fried steak but also a few international favorites like butter chicken. I tried the shrimp and grits and have no complaints. The Dr. Pepper carnitas should be shared as one appetizer will top you off. The butter chicken was very good and the spice level is adjustable. Who woulda thunk right? Just don't tell people you don't like about this place! Price-wise, you can easily spend more at Whataburger on a combo than some of the entrees here.

We didn't go there because it is to expensive for what ever they serve

Omg this place was amazing! I was a guest at the Quality Inn, Lufkin TX, where this location is located inside of, August 2024. For 13 dollars, my socks were blown off!! Food absolutely amazing! Decent size portions. The Garlic and Herb red potatoes were better than my mom's. (Sorry mom) If there was one thing I would suggest, please separate the sides, so that the bottom of the burger doesn't get soggy.

Every once and a while we stop by to eat here. This time was because the places we wanted to go were closed. We arrived when they opened the doors and we were promptly seated.
Food: The food was good overall. The steak was good not great, not over seasoned and cooked to the correct temp. The Green beans were meh, but the brown butter brussel sprouts absolutely rocked. I could have just eaten a plate of them. My wife had the shrimp and grits. There were good not great. The salads they served had way too much salad dressing. I suggest putting it in a ramekin for the customer to put on the salad themselves.
Atmosphere: The overhead can light seemed a bit bright and took away from the relaxed atmosphere they try to portray. While we were waiting on our dinner we were entertained by one of the workers trying to remove a balloon from the ceiling from a previous seating. The broken windows that could be observed as we came in, took away the feel of the place.
Service: The server was attentive and cordial and we appreciate the attention to detail. She took care of our needs gave us space when needed but paid attention to our potential needs.
Since we have been here before we had some expectations and I feel they they are not the same as they once were. I don't think they are bad at all and I encourage people to stop by. I just think small fixes will bring them back even better.

Eat here a few weeks back while on a business trip. It was recommended for the best steak around. When I arrived I was promptly greeted and sat with my drink order taken. I am a ribeye steak guy but the fillet was recommended by several that I worked with. I had a salad with the blue cheese dressing, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and the best tasting steak I’ve ever had. The house style 8oz. fillet. It was phenomenal. Definitely recommend and will return should I visit this area again.

My husband treated me to dinner for my 60th birthday. The restaurant is small but clean, staff pleasant and the food was surprisingly good. We have had our share of horrible dining experiences in Lufkin, so this was a pleasant surprise! I had the Butter Chicken and my husband had the Chicken fried steak.
