“Ordered via Doordash. Order arrived about ten minutes earlier than promised which was a lovely surprise. Ordered fried mushrooms, which though delicious, where a bit short on the numbers. The reason the restaurant still gets a five star rating is solely due to flavors. As stated, the mushrooms were delicious, crispy on the outside, juicy inside and if they were not so expensive, I would have ordered far more! The chicken fried steaks and chicken were great, not too much, nor too little breading. The breading was far more well seasoned than most places, no bland breading here. Lots of gravy atop the generous sized portions of meat. The potatoes and gravy were wonderfully tight real potatoes, not runny as so many places use. I had the cinnamon apples and enjoyed them thoroughly. Sons had the seasoned rice, cole slaw, and rolls and all were very pleased with their meals as well. The rolls and cornbread were generous, sons remarked on the heft of the rolls and I had my cornbread as a snack later with a bowl of milk. The salad was tasty, but the cup of soup was not soup, was actually a small cup of meaty stew with a fabulous and complex flavor. This was a splurge and rather expensive overall for a Doordash meal for our budget, but when we can afford to do Southern Recipes Grill again, we will certainly be looking forward to trying out some of their other meals! If I could give more stars... I would.“

“While I was visiting from Virginia, my daughter took me to Breakfast Brothers for breakfast. The first thing that I noticed was how extremely clean the restauraunt was, including the bathroom. The second thing that I noticed was that the menu had so many incredible options that I literally struggled to choose what to order. Our waiter, Anthony was great, but also every other staff member smiled when there was eye contact. I ordered the shrimp and grits AND a side of french toast, because I couldn't decide. My daughter had the chicken and pancakes. We shared food and EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious! I have been traveling a lot lately to various cities, including DC, New Orleans, and Cancun in the past 5 months. This was the BEST meal, that I have had! I will visit again or get takeout before I return to Virginia! Thank you for a great dining experience.“

“One of the best eateries in Six Flags ove Texas. I would have given it 5 stars, but the workers dont get in a hurry for anything. Either they are under staffed, or just don't care, it effects their rating. They could easily recirved 5 stars.“

“I enjoyed my chicken fried steak meal, with two sides. Anytime, I want a chicken fried steak, this is my go to. The food was served hot, and our server Bria was super nice. She came back several times to see if we needed anything else. My sister was not satisfied with her meatloaf. Only because the sauce was catsup. The manager agreed to take half off the ticket, she had eaten most of the vegetables. We appreciated it. Bria was patient with us. It wasn’t busy so we asked her if she would take a few pictures of us. The entire experience was pleasant.“
