Fist time there was not impressed with anything while waiting in line for my food it was myself and 5 other family members. It's Texas so it was hot as heck outside and just as hot inside which I didn't expect, either their ac didn't work or they need a better ventilation system. Only reason we stayed was cause my sister insisted on eating there for her birthday. After receiving our food we searched for a table being a party of 6 it wasn't easy finding a spot all together the place is a tiny establishment not suitable for children, and your neighbor is eating about 2feet away from you. If your wondering why I gave it 4 stars it's because the food definitely made up for it. The catfish green beans and mashed potatoes were awesome and the dinner rolls gave it an extra umph, my husband had the chicken fried streak and loved it, my son said the fried chicken was moist crispy and delicious, my kids loved their chicken tenders, and my sister also had the chicken fried streak. Their full portions and half portions are HUGE so come hungry. Everyone was happy and full for a moment while enjoying our food we forgot we were in a sweat box. I'll definitely be returning only this time we'll swing through the drive thru instead of eating there. Warning the drive thru lane was wrapped around the building and down the corner into the shopping center parking lot, but I rather eat comfortably then be crammed in a small hot...
Read moreIt was a rainy night. I was having a hankering for some Chicken Fried Steak. I literally typed in "Chicken Fried Steak near me" and got a suggestion to try this place. It has a drive-thru and since I was sick, this was a particularly good thing. Low and behold, I was really impressed!!!
Good, quality food for a really decent price. Good portions. It has a very old-fashioned country vibe to it. Me and my partner tried the Chicken Fried Steak and the Chicken and Dumplings. DELICIOUS. One thing that struck me is that all the side-dishes like veggies, corn, mash, and rolls all tasted HOME cooked. The rolls were definitely made in-house and not shipped in from some other country and stuffed with preservatives.
The staff was really friendly. I haven't checked out the interior yet, but from what I could see in the kitchen, everything was VERY clean. The staff handling food wears gloves and were insanely polite.
I don't know how you could live near this restaurant and still go to any of the local fast food places for chicken like KFC or Church's. This place it the answer to "fast food with quality".
I'm a big foodie, and may I say that despite the humble appearance and plain packaging, you get a lot of value for your dollar at this place. While not a "fancy" spot, if you just need some good olde' fashioned country-cooking goodness, this is it. I'll definitely...
Read moregreat fried chicken, tasty crust. Most food high fat and high salt and sugar added. Not "health food". Green beans greasy with bacon grease, carrots and most beans too sweet with sugar added. Good slaw. good rolls. Fast service! refused to give plate with 1/2 mix of chicken and fried chick livers. Would be good choice. although they have other fried combos of fried fish and various cuts of chicken-cannot mix chicken with livers. Liver order is too many for a meal. Did not want al a cart or reduced portion without veg. manager Talked to customer like a tired parent. "Everyone would want to mix if we changed the order, even maybe, like 1/2 order of dumplings with other choice." like talking to a child. Really, Bubbas, what would hurt - ? chicken with livers mix? both are fried chicken. They pick up chunks of chicken from a large kitchen shelf to serve from the chicken anyway. Why can you not cook a half order of livers? ???? Also, Hillcrest has steps and slick floor safety area between ordering and dining area. some people need help getting down the steps safely with trays. Most staff are not ready to help us get our trays to the table. Did you ever see cafeterias with a bell to ring and call assistance to help carry trays to the table? You really need to do something about the slick slippery floors....
