Went in , a little hesitant of the food, since the aspect did not look very clean; even though was clean but decided to give it a try. Order something basic, me and wife order meatloaf . The presentation was different , was with dark gravy . The taste was ok . Overall after we finished eating. Came to a conclusion that we won't go back .

I waited over a year since they opened to go. There was a lot of hype about their biscuits and I heard mixed things, so I figured it would be good to give them time to get things on point. It really just wasnt very good. I ordered the big chicken fried steak. It literally tasted like a tv dinner, but with a much better crisp to the batter. The hashbrowns had no seasoning at all. The biscuits are huge, but they just arent very good. Texture is fine, if a bit dry, but they didnt really have flavor. I only had one b... read more

Had a bad experience Christmas day me and my cousin went to have breakfast at McAllen location got there early, was told by staff that they were not open until 8am so I turned around to let my cousin know as I walked out the lady locked the door behind me .that was very rude of her she could have offered us to wait in seating area until they opened but didn't. I work at a restaurant myself our seating area is small but I make my customers feel wanted and this lady didn't care.so I'm not sure if I will be turning to re... read more

Let me start by saying I actually love this chain. I'm a regular at one near Houston. I go regularly and usually there is a wait to get in. Not this one. It was close to empty. I should have walked out right then. I ordered small chicken fried steak. Food came out. Steak was in a puddle grease almost no gravy. Cold mashed potatoes. Actually just disgusting. I'd say this place is a hard pass. I mention problem to server with no response. Terrible, no Wonder place was close to empty. If you're the owner( get new management fas... read more

The pancakes were rubbery and tasted like cardboard. Not at all fluffy like mine at home even though they did look pretty. The chicken fried steak was excellent. It was freezing cold in there as it was a cool day outside but they didn't seem to care about our complains and didn't want to turn the heat up. We ate quickly and left. Very little customers. It was questionable as to why.

I will start by saying that the food took 40 minutes and in the end the food is nothing special, the portions are very large and I think the only good thing on the menu are the biscuits, I think I will never return to this place

The wait for food, Ruben sandwich & Bears Choice breakfast was over an hour! The waitress was nowhere to be found - when she finally came to check on us, she was all sugary nice, but no apology for the long time away & no explanation for long wait on food! Asked for water without ice & got ice water! Asked for extra sauce on the sandwich & finally I just got up to go get it myself! I don't blame the kitchen. This waitress was just not doing her job! The sandwich was mediocre at best, although the fries were good. Got our ... read more

Nah this is crazy lmao. This having 4 stars is so on brand for the RGV. Look the service is fantastic. Always wonderful. But ambiance? Food? This is literally Denny's. Like literally probably same parent company. Imagine rating dennys a 4.
