“Thursday steak night!!! 💖”

“Walking into Republic Steakhouse near Texas A&M, the first thing that becomes clear is that this place understands what a real steakhouse experience is supposed to feel like. Coming from New York, where a steakhouse is measured not only by the quality of the meat but by the authority of the room, the confidence of the service, and the rhythm of the entire table, the standard is high. Places like Blackstone in Melville and Peter Luger in Brooklyn and Great Neck set that expectation. Republic earns mention in that company because the dinner is not simply strong on food. It is elevated by service, and Kayla is at the center of that. What most people do not realize walking in is that Republic is not a franchise or a corporate concept. It is owner operated by Wade Barkman, a Texas A&M graduate and Culinary Institute of America trained chef who spent six years at Wynn Las Vegas before opening Republic in 2007. He researched classic American steakhouse design going back to the 1880s and built the room around elements like quad Hollywood booths that used to appear in supper clubs through the 1940s. It is the only AAA Four Diamond rated restaurant in College Station, holds a Wine Spectator award winning wine list, and carries one of the largest whiskey selections in the state of Texas. Those are not casual distinctions. They set the floor for the experience before a single plate arrives. But credentials only matter if the execution matches. On this visit, it does, and the reason starts with Kayla. From the beginning, Kayla does what the best servers do. She does not simply take an order. She guides the experience. She brings offers at the right moment, shares inside knowledge, and reads the table with confidence. That matters because in a serious steakhouse, great service is not decoration. It is part of the meal itself. The strongest restaurants in New York understand that, and on this visit Kayla delivers that same kind of command. The meal opens with the grilled shrimp in balsamic, a first appetizer that sets the tone with balance and control. Refined without trying too hard, flavorful without being heavy, and restrained, which is one of the harder things for a restaurant to get right. Then the second appetizer arrives, and this is where Kayla's value becomes even more obvious. The off menu Wagyu flat iron, paired with a choice from the quad steak sauces, is exactly the kind of inside track that turns a very good dinner into an exceptional one. That recommendation does not happen by accident. It comes from a server who knows the menu beyond the printed page, understands what creates a memorable table, and is confident enough to offer something special. Republic is known for that kind of loyalty building. Their filet mignon tartare has built such a devoted following over the years that removing it from the menu would cause a real problem. That tells you the kitchen is not just executing. It is creating loyalty, one dish at a time. And when a server like Kayla knows how to connect a guest to that level of the menu, the experience deepens immediately. The primary entrée, the 8 ounce smoked brandy aged filet mignon, carries the meal exactly where it needs to go. This is the kind of dish a serious steakhouse has to get right because the filet exposes everything. There is no place to hide. When it works, it tells you the house knows what it is doing. My son's 16 ounce ribeye brings the counterpoint. Richer, fuller, more traditional in its steakhouse presence. Together the two cuts create a complete table. One leans toward precision and elegance, the other toward power and satisfaction. That balance matters, especially when judging a steakhouse against New York expectations. Even the smaller details feel more deliberate because of the service around them. The real sugar house sodas add personality to the table and keep it from feeling generic. Then comes the Balvenie 16 Year French Oak, 52 Dufftown, 95.2 proof, served as a double and recommended by Kayla to be sipped slowly with the meal. That is one of the def”

I went in and got a six pack and those cookies were warm and soft. I will definitely be coming back next time for the icecream! And for more cookies!”

The decor is adorable, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome the second you walk in, and there's something about it that makes you want to stay way longer than you planned. The outdoor playground is a bonus if you have kids. Nacogdoches needed this place and I'm so glad it exists.”

“I want to thank the gal on the stool stacking the cups close to the drive through window. Your hinee is spectacular! Even the cross dressing man working the window couldn't dampen the mood!”

“1st city cafe is one of our go-tos in Nacogdoches when we treat ourselves to a meal out. There are some really excellent dishes like the Gruene Enchiladas, and the bread pudding is absolutely delicious. My only complaint food-wise is that it's a little on the heavy side. Sometimes I'm in the mood for that, but sometimes not. I would like to see them continue to innovate with some healthier options- more varied salads, fish, etc. (The coffee is ok. I have always thought they could up their coffee game.) Overall, always a pleasant experience and though nothing too outside-the-box, it is hipper than most of what you will find in this area. It is extremely clean and service is always really friendly, and they've got good drinks!”

“We love this place. Our family has been eating here for along time. Several years ago I said I will never eat sushi. Then I was introduced to the Crunch Roll (which still is the best) and my life was changed forever. Now I have tried everything on the menu and have many favorites. The staff and Linda are best people you will meet. 10/10”

We were going to wait the rain out and one of the workers came to the car and offered to walk us inside with an umbrella!! 100/10 service right off the bat! Our crawfish came out fast, and was so delicious! Added a little bit of dry seasoning and that sealed the deal for us! Will be making this our regular Tuesday spot!!”

“It was so nice to sit outside and eat a great breakfast!”

“The service, food is the best….very tasty…fresh tortillas. I will for sure let all my friends”

“Absolutely the best Fast Food tacos and burritos in town. I wish they would replace or remove the broken TV with the blue screen. It's painful to look at.”

“Let me start with The food was absolutely delicious!!!! Highly recommend!! I took my babygirl to eat after we toured SFA.. so just 2 of us!! BUT As for The waitress… she chose to click her own tip on card reader, which was $11.86. As I handed her a $20bill for her tip. She chose not to tell me she had already chosen one and was rude when I asked for the $11.86 back! I felt that was VERY VERY rude and dishonest! I’ve always tipped well and cash in their pocket! So sad people take advantage of people! Sam’s check your staff!!!”

“Wonderful dining experience. Food was hot and fresh. Server Anna was so sweet, hostess Novalee was very attentive and helpful, over at ‘to go’ Ashlyn was a delight to see and speak to.

If you haven’t tried ASM meals you are definitely missing out! I can’t wait to try the low carbs desserts she’s been cooking up this week!! 💕🤤”

“I recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."”

“Food is delicious 🤤 10/10 💕”

“My wife and I just delivered a beautiful baby boy into this crazy world, and the only thing she wanted after was a BMT from Subway.

“Delicious food and incredible service at a great price! I came here one day for dinner with colleagues and the food was so good I came back the next day and brought my mother! I plan on coming back at least once a week from here on out. No buffet around has the variety and quality that this one offers at a price that’s cheaper than most fast food places nowadays. Kudos to management and staff, you just secured a new regular customer.”

“FOOD IS AWESOME, OUTSTANDING VARIETY OF FOODS, AN MICHELADOS ARE SOO VERY VERY GOOD!”

“I only came here because I travel for work and it was next door to my hotel. I haven't eaten that Burger King in about 15 years they had good reviews so i tried it. I got my chicken nuggets well done and my cheeseburger well done and she accommodated me with no problem . The lady that took my order was nice kind great smile she said she works at for 17 years that's great 👍🏾”

“I love everything about The Barbecue House. The food, the people, the atmosphere....EVERYTHING! My favorite bbq restaurant.”

“I order DoorDash more often than I probably should, and far too many of my Crunchwrap Supremes have arrived looking like they survived atmospheric reentry.

This time, I called ahead and politely asked if they could make sure it wasn’t burnt. Not only did these ladies take the request seriously, they absolutely delivered. The Crunchwrap was perfect.

It may seem like a small thing, but when someone actually listens and goes the extra mile, it makes a difference. I’m unreasonably happy about this.

Thank you, queens. You restored my faith in Crunchwraps.”

“Great food and great service!”

“Good food :) good customer service too !”

“Good food :) good customer service too !”
