must be under new ownership or something, because this used to be my favorite place to eat! and on a budget! the portions used to be huge, but now the place has been drowned with greed.. used to be able to come here and order a meal and a vegetable plate for like $13-$15 and be out the door for $20 with tip included..they also used to pile the plate high with chicken and serve generous portions. this place has gone downhill, BAD.. you can tell they are cutting corners on quality, its steadily gotten worse (its still not bad at all i genuinely enjoy the taste of the food) but you can tell some of the ingredients have gotten cheaper and on the sides its not that noticeable but the meat is noticeably poorer quality.. the quality of food is not my complaint though, its the PRICE.. we ordered a tender plate & a vegetable plate with NO DRINKS.. what should have been a $13 plate & a $7.50 plate.. (what the online menu showed) still more than we used to pay but reasonable with inflation.. we get our receipt and its THIRTY ONE FREAKIN DOLLARS!!! for ONE PLATE & "free" sides.. and thats not even the kicker... they brought us 5 (yes FIVE) tiny little excuses of chicken tenders, that were so small they were mostly batter which was HARD AS A ROCK.. (i have a family of 4) we couldnt even eat half of our single tender each because they were hard as a rock.. so.. i mean its babes right, you go for the sides! they brought us literally 2 spoonfuls in each bowl.. like we could only put 1 spoons worth on 2 plates before asking for more sides then 2 more for the other 2 plates.. and obviously we needed more.. also they used to bring your sides first and you would be through like 3 rounds of sides before your food would even come.. nope not today, they brought us our salad bowls say them down and said "we'll be right back with your food" and came back with our 5 tender stones & our 2 tablespoons of each side.. SECONDS later.. which.. i guess i cant complain about fast service but it is clearly a tactic to keep you from asking for more sides, they want to fill you up and get you out the door.. after asking for more sides 3-4 times and after the first 2 rounds of 2 spoonfuls they turned into single spoonfuls (what on earth is wrong with you people!?!?!?) we left STILL HUNGRY & very upset.. i paid $20 for 5 chicken stones.. and another $11 for an extra plate.. the owners must have died and let their greedy evil children take over, either that or the place was sold to some biggot.. man i remember when the place was good.. this genuinely brings tears to my eyes.:( and my gums are STILL bleeding from the rocks they served as chicken. this place USED to be great ZERO OUT OF ZERO dont go there!! also i dont appriciate all the employees standing up front staring at us like we were going to try and flee the scene without paying (i hadnt even complained or anything) that made me not only uncomfortable but also very upset.. im guessing since they raised the prices people have been leaving without paying. (i should have) but i am above that, however i do regret not asking for a refund..

DISAPPOINTING! We've had Babes from the Cedar Hill location and it was always delicious in the past. This was horrible. The green beans were burned and tasted so terrible that the last bite ruined my appetite. The corn was awful, old and floating in sugar water. The chicken fried steak was tough meat and a bad cut from the cow. The catfish was overcooked, odd and flavorless almost like a cheap white fish. We ordered curbside since we are from out of town. I was not offered any napkins, plastic ware or condiments. So we ate with our hands and shared the food on a table like Neanderthals. We don't order curbside much so I didn't think to ask for those items to eat with. The only items that we thought were absolutely delicious were the biscuits and salad dressing. Mashed potatoes and gravy were good but not fantastic. I guess we ordered on the wrong night. This dinner was not worth the money spent. I've harvested and butchered my own meat, dressed my own fish and cooked up both chicken fried steak and fried catfish to feed an army of men. This left us hungry and wanting something different to clear our pallets. We ate some of the food because we were hungry but the rest is in the garbage.

On our way from Glenrose, my wife and I decided to stop by Babe's for lunch. The ambience was nice, but a bit dark for our comfort. They also seem to employ lots of waiters and servers. There was little wait and seating was immediate. However, outside of the salad, we found the food to be average at best. The smoked chicken was a bit surprising to the taste. I was glad the white meat was soft and juicy. Yet, the seasoning was too salty. My wife ordered the fried chicken and she found the taste to be similar to KFC. Unfortunately, I also affirmed her thoughts. Both chickens seemed overly seasoned and salty. We also tried the endless corn, muffins, green beans, and mashed potatoes. My wife said it tasted like it was from the can and the green beans was overly greasy. I found the food not to be savory or unique. It just seemed to be like another buffet, to fill the stomach, and not to please the taste buds. We both believed you can pay a little less and get the same food from Chicken Express or KFC. Outside of the waitstaff, I found the food subpar.

People in my town might come after me for this, but let's just say this place isn't my cup of tea. I'd rather dine at CB 😋. My father-in-law and husband loved it, but the kids and I? Not so much. Here's the rundown: the corn tasted like it took a detour through the freezer, the mashed potatoes tasted as if straight out of a box, and the biscuits were Pillsbury's cousins (Not bad). The "salad" was just lettuce with a lemony splash, the smoked chicken tasted like it bathed in liquid smoke, but hey, the chicken tenders were good! Hubby and Pops enjoyed their Chicken Fried steak, and the banana pudding was just okay. The service was great!!! We got seated quickly on a Friday night, and the atmosphere was lively with servers doing the hokie pokie. But honestly, the food tasted like it came from a local fast food joint 🐔. Maybe my expectations were too high because of all the hype about Babes. Will I be back? Not anytime soon. Well, maybe to join in on the fun 😁.

Simply my favorite place to eat when a guest comes to town or we are celebrating with family. The Storybook design transports you into feeling like you’re eating in an adventure land. The service is always A+ with friendly demeanor, recommendations, and quick help. Our server (Tristan?) was excellent making sure we had everything we needed, refills, and plenty of food! We ordered, chicken tenders, roasted chicken and a kids chicken fried steak. We were delighted to hear the hostess Giana sing and had a great time with our family who left full and had fun!

First time going to Babe's. I live in New Mexico and was told about it. Great family style dining. Lots of food given. More than we could eat.
