CowTalk Steakhouse — Restaurant in Navasota

Unique with good food! This place is busy with locals during the livestock auctions. You get the idea that your meat could be very fresh. :) I really enjoyed my center cut 12oz sirloin. It was cooked as requested. I was stuffed after a trip to the salad bar (crisp lettuce) and a side of mashed potatoes with brown gravy. Ah, Texas toast. ❤️ My sons had the buffet of fried chicken and spaghetti. They thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't leave hungry either. All three of us agreed the mashed potatoes were excellent. They had white gravy with their's. We did start with some of the best fried onion rings I've tasted. We all agreed these were a winner. They had a light crisp batter on them. I was happy to find out the lunch buffet is until 3 and is served Monday thru Saturday. We'll be back, and maybe I'll wear my boots so I fit in a little...

We’ve eaten here about six times. The first time we were fully charmed by the simplicity of it - I mean, you’re having a steak right there at the stockyards where the cowboys come have lunch and make deals. What’s not to like?

So the last time we went there, was the last time. My medium rare steak came out near well done. They re-fired it for me and it was good after that, but the potato was still hard, and my wife’s steak was also overcooked.

When your whole thing is doing the basics, you have to do them right. It went from small-town charm to just another poorly managed restaurant. I’ve got plenty of those closer to home, so we won’t be making that...

We love Cow Talk and we love Zach! The service is amazing and the food is fabulous! On Fridays they have a great seafood buffet with gumbo, rice, fried catfish, fried shrimp, hush puppies, French fries, and fixin's for a salad. Buffet comes with a drink and dessert. And if you are on the go, they will fix it to go. Zach kept checking on us and our glasses never got empty. They are one of the few places that we will get tea because the drinks usually cost $1.99. Everywhere else two drinks will add $5 to the food bill. We are so glad that we discovered this gem out in...
