Don't go for the Mexican food. Mostly tasted salt:( 

Business response:

Seasoning to taste can be a slippery slope, sir. We're not known for our Mexican food so it is conceivable that we over-salted the refried beans. But I would invite you try some of our signature dishes such as chicken fried steak and golden onion rings on your next visit. Those we take some pride in and I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed. Don't be a stranger Ida de la Garza.

All the food there is delicious. It's really hard to save room for dessert. Don't forget the onion rings. Mmmmm!

Chicken fried steak was horrible, to much crust.for the price 11.00 Cheddars is better, or M/ k Davis has good Lunch Specials ... 

Business response:

Please register your complaint with GM Veronica Salazar and she will rectify the situation so that you are satisfied. Sometimes you catch us on a bad day but it's always a good policy to report it to staff before you leave and make time to share your ONE bad experience with FB. Please come back and give us another try. Thank you for your patronage.

So homey and unpretentious. SO MUCH FOOD! Good homestyle cooking with many choices. My porkchops were perfect and I have enough leftovers for another meal. My husband always gets the liver and onions and says it is never less than excellent. Onion ring order was huge, hot, and so good. We hadn't been in a few years, but we will definitely go back more often. 

Business response:

Darlene, thank you for your king review. You and your family are welcomed any time...during regular business hours, of course. Happy St. Paddy's Day. Thank you for your patronage. Don't be a stranger.

Customer service was really good ,however the "famous" chicken fried steak was bland. The food here is more suited towards older retirees. Food was cooked properly and if it not for the lack of flavor may have been ok. Unfortunately as I chewed the food jjst became a bland mush in my mouth and couldn't even get through half of it before sending it back. Will never return here 

Business response:

I'm curious. Did they bring you a better seasoned CFS by chance? Or do you mean you sent it back, pushed away from the table, tipped your wait staff, and left never to return. Is that correct? I would advise you speak with GM Veronica Salazar about your experience and possibly get a full refund or give us another chance. If you were just passing through, then we wish you well with your life's travels. #seasontotaste #saltnpeppershakersateverytable
