Texas Kountry Kitchen — Restaurant in Dayton

I had very high hopes for Texas Kountry Kitchen, but I was disappointed. The place is well worn but very clean from the dining room to the restroom. There is no sign when you enter tell you to seat yourself or you will be seated, but there are several signs saying the wait for your food could be an hour when they are busy. There were plenty of servers on staff, and the service was fine but not as prompt as I would have expected for having almost 1 sever per table. My food experience started poorly at the salad bar and continued downhill. Another sign at the salad read only 1 trip any additional trips will be charged. I'm not sure why they even have a salad bar because the only lettuce was iceberg that was already turning bad. I had several pieces I had to pick out as they were wilted and wet. The toppings and dressings selection was scarce, and all of the cheapest quality available. All the dressings were in clear plastic squeeze bottles with the type of dressings handwritten on them. Several of the bottles had multiple names, and it was hard to decipher which one was correct. I feel just serving you a salad would be a better choice and more appealing than having such a poor selection at a salad bar. I sure wouldn't pay for the salad after looking at it (mine was included with my meal). My chicken fried steak, baked potato, and garlic bread arrived promptly. I ordered my potato "all the way," which only included butter, cheese, and sour cream (the salad bar had fake bacon bits yet none on the potato). The sour cream or the fake butter must have been bad or rancid. I tried two different bits and couldn't stomach anymore. I moved on to the chicken fried steak (cfs). The first 2 cuts, I only got crust/breading, no meat. The breading was very thick, so much so the inner most of the breading was still doughy/uncooked. The brown gray was bland with no flavor. Once I got to the actual meat, it was fine a little tough, but at least I could tell it was fresh and homemade. The problem was that after about halfway through, there was no more meat it was all breading (see the pic). Finally, I was on to the garlic toast, and it was good accept, and I'm not sure how this happened, one of the halves was cooked perfectly while the other was burnt. Maybe they burned one piece, and instead of making a new piece, they split it on two...

My husband and I have underlying health issues, so, because of Covid, we make sure masks are worn in places we go. We pass through Dayton regularly and always wanted to eat here, so we were delighted that a sign on their door said masks required to enter! We sat down, and our waitress came over without a mask! I was so uncomfortable, so I said, “We thought y’all would all have masks on, since there is a sign on the door that says masks required.” She said, oh, I’m sorry. She didn’t offer to get a mask or for someone else to wait on us, and she just stood there! Obviously, we left! This place needs to rethink their policy! They lost a good lunch sale that day, possibly a returning customer, and that waitress lost a good tip. ...

Decided to try again for takeout. We ordered four bacon & egg tacos, and they wanted $33 when we arrived. I was in shock lol I asked her why so much and she said $6.95 each plus tax, I just canceled the order and went down the road got the same thing for less than $15.

Ordered take out breakfast very disappointed when I arrived. No one greeted me or tried to help me. A customer dining was the one who spoke to me, he said I could just sit anywhere. The 2 ladies were talking behind the counter while checking people out. I got behind the customer paying, and then the blonde lady walked off. Finally, the other lady walked back over and got my take out order. The food was good, the price was too high and...
