“I think I eat here more than anyone. So often, I've noticed inconsistencies with the portions, based on who is prepping the plates. Knowing this, I've ordered two large sandwiches instead of one large. With some, you have to take it to go. I think the scale isn't used too often.Parking: I'm glad they finally removed the concrete curbs in the middle of the parking lot”
“First time I went out to eat with my biological mother since I couldn't tell you when and they did not disappoint. Waitress could've been a little more attentive but it was right when they were trying to clean up from lunch rush and she was busy. All in all, it's a great place to get real food or as much as the ungodly world/government will let us have unless we kill it ourselves which they wanna take away as well and it's gonna happen too. It's all been told over 2000 years ago what was gonna happen and a lot already has so I just pray people open their eyes. Or let God do it because it does say in the Bible that no one comes to the father except through Jesus but you keep reading and it also says we are only saved because God chose us to be his adopted children, those of us that actually believe and don't just say it for recognition anyway. But He wants for everyone to come to the knowledge of Christ but wait here's where these works we were all told about in church being led by a preacher that doesn't truly believe in the gospel either or he wouldn't say the things he says or do the things he does. This world is slipping away and the King is coming! EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL CONFESS HIM AS LORD. Sad part about that is it will be too late according to the Bible I read so if your life is not mostly governed by God then you're not listening once again”
“We've eaten here several times, but today we had the lunch Taco Salad.. was very bland.. putting taco sauce helped.. just won't order this here again.. otherwise we Love all their other dishes we have eaten there.”
“We had the fried catfish and the fried green tomatoes and they were excellent!The tartar sauce, coleslaw and hush puppies are homemade and also delicious!Alyssa was our server and could not have been more friendly and pleasant! We will definitely be back to try other menu items. After looking at other peoples plates, everything looks amazing! Fully satisfied!!”
“They made me a chicken sandwich with smoked chicken breast, it’s not even on the menu but they made it for me and it was great. I asked them to add coleslaw on the sandwich and he didn’t even charge extra.. Love this place.”
“Fast and friendly. As cliche as that sounds. The manager seems to care. I've seen them on different occasions clear up customer concerns personally.Bring back the brown bag special!!!!!!!”
“On Tuesday and Wednesday there is nobody to take your order at 530am, even if you bang on counter, but all the other days you always get your food ordered, it's happened several times and other people have left after waiting, no donuts ”
“Just when you think this location cannot get any worse, it does. EDIT: for years I had a one star review up for this location. The service for a long time was not just terrible, it was the worst!Over the past year there's been some changes made, and now I enjoy visiting this restaurant. Change from one star to five, good work guys!”
“I ordered a garlic burger but received a regular one. We had three combos on our ticket and were passing thru texarkana. The food was good.they only had 2 people in there working so that could have been the issue. The girl at the window was great!”
“I highly recommend this place, was passing by otw to see family in a different state the kind people inside treated me with such kindness, I felt like I was part of a kind of family I ordered 6 rolls and a chicken sandwich and my wife got chicken strips the food was so fresh and delicious just can't get over the customer service I didn't get her name, but I she looked to be someone of importance. Thank you all golden chick for your time and hospitality”
“We hadn’t been for almost a year until tonight due to slow service, food not great, etc. Decided to give it another try tonight. So glad we did. Our server (Addy) was excellent. Food was out quick and delicious. Drinks refilled without asking. Everything you expect when you go out to eat. We will definitely be back soon.”
“BEST BBQ IN TEXAS!!! (& I’m from South Texas!)Brisket melts in your mouth! Chicken is so juicy seasoned and tender!OMG THE PEACH COBBLER & BANANA PUDDING!!! (No words)Service was amazing too!Worth the 5.5 hour drive! 10/10 recommend!!!”
“This ladies and gents, will make any trucker happy! These folks know what they’re doin when it comes to smokin meat y’all! They are set up across the street from Love’s Truck Stop! This is “smack your grandma” good! You won’t be disappointed! Thank you Mr. D’s BBQ! From 2 truckers “Comin in HOT”! ?Michelle & Gary Davis”
“Seriously good food!!! We tried the brisket, sausage, chicken fried ribeye, twice-baked potatoes, mac & cheese, and green beans, and everything was delicious! We even had the banana pudding and blackberry cobbler for dessert, too! Our waitress was very nice and the food came out quickly. The decor is really fun with an old car and lots of taxidermy. We even came back the next day to try the pulled pork, short rib, and cheesecake!”
“We came here right before closing and Miss Mary has to be the ABSOLUTE best person to have on staff as a closer. She had the most pleasant personality even after closing. I will definitely be back with my family. She makes a memorable impression.”
“stopped here while driving from wisconsin to texas and had an absolutely perfect experience. the restaurant is spotlessly clean, the service is friendly and very quick, and the food was all excellent. every bite was served freshly cooked, piping hot, and expertly seasoned. even the simple vegetable sides were somehow the best i’ve ever had. the desserts were also delicious and tasted homemade. prices were very reasonable—cash preferred! worth a stop if traveling through texarkana and also worth going out of your way for simple, classic home cooking done in exactly right. really a special place.”
“This is such a long drive from where I live, so I don't get to stop often, but it is one of the best coffee stops in the area. There is such a wide variety of flavors. I always just tell them an idea of what I am craving, and they nail it each time. Highly recommend.”
“Skye was our server and she was fantastic. Amazing food and enjoyed the environment. Recommend trying The Greek sandwich, lemon drop martini, or blackberri mojito!”
“There are so many five-star reviews on here for good reason, but I figure I’ll add my two cents. Alley Cats was an unexpected gem for us when we visited town and stumbled across it. Between the great beer selection, circa-1940s Pullman lounge car and very friendly owner and staff, this is a place not to be missed. We were there in the evening and didn’t have coffee, but I imagine it’s superb. Highly recommend.”
“Mannn this place is amazing!! The food is spot on for perfection. By the size of it you’d probably think otherwise but nothing beats a hole in the wall. They were super busy in house and with to go but the young lady was holding it all together greatly. I would suggest going early or getting to go if you don’t like small spaces lol. The birria tacos were amazing as we’ll as the Chilaquiles was the absolute best I’ve ever had and honestly I’d drive just to get that! Portion size was very nice, come hungry or you’ll be getting a to go box. Overall, definitely a must try!!!”
“This place is a gem not only in Texarkana but in Texas as a whole. Food is phenomenal, craft beer is on point and service is exceptional. Will not pass by this spot in the future.”
“Eva and Tee were awesome!!!!!! Best service I’ve ever had! Definitely recommend y’all going to see Eva, she was an amazing server and so attentive. Tee was the manager and showed out as well!!!”
“Thank you Mr. TJ, for an amazing dining experience! We are still mind blown at the quality and flavors of our lunch. This little gem of a restaurant is clean and efficient. First, I was in awe of the service; I called to check that they were opened for lunch and Mr. TJ texted me their menu ahead of time. The extensive menu made it so hard to decide what to get but we got: gumbo, smothered oxtail with southern greens and candied yams, and chicken wings with cajun fries and cabbage. You can taste the care and passion put into the food. The oxtail was so tender and every bite a flavor explosion. The gumbo was spicy and filling. The wings, crispy and tender, just wonderful! Mr. TJ said some of these recipes have been in his family 4 generations! Every dish tastes homemade, like something your mom or grandma has made. If you're in the Texarkana area, you must stop in! Also, the sweet tea is the best I've ever had and perfect to go with your meal! Thank you for a wonderful meal!”
“I had a sweet tea and a pork chimichanga. Service was great, the chimichanga had a nice crisp to the tortilla. House chips were warm and fresh, salsa had me reaching for the tea which was also good. Sweet but not overly and it didn't have that tap water flavor. Price was about $20”
“Run by a couple. Since I came from far away, they brought me so much food, so I was upset that I couldn't eat it all. heIt's delicious and full of recognition, which is the icing on the cake.I hope you stay healthy and happy in another country!By the way, fried noodles or fried rice are the main menu items.”
“I door dash here A LOT! I never need to wait for an order more than a minute. Friendly staff always happy. I have eaten here also and it's AMAZING!!!! sorry no photo.”
“The food is great. If you call in you won’t have to wait in line. The only reason the line is ever held up is because people order at the window. It’s a huge plate of food for right at $10.00. I eat here all the time.”
“Ms Cheetah is what summers and shaved ice is all about. The flavors are endless and theJoy and love that she puts in every cup is reminiscent of summers with your grandmother. This is definitely a must see when you’re near the area. I had a turtle cream cheesecake. Phenomenal”
“Haven't been here since my dad passed away but from what I remember, it's a quiet little mom and pop run restaurant. The meals tasted home made like down home country.”
“Amazing service, great staff, lovely coffee and a wonderful experience & atmosphere to relax, study, and catch up with friends.An incredible little gem of the Texarkana area, and looking forward to its future!”
