I ordered a medium rare steak but it was just flat raw. Where the sinew slides back and forth when you try to cut it and the knife can't go through. We butcher and this was just like I had cut the meat fresh from the carcass and made it a little charred. (It did look like a nice steak) But what really annoyed me was that they tossed the end of the steak I had cut into when they recooked it. That was like $4-5 worth of meat I did not get back! My mom got a medium well and it was barely medium rare. Sent it back twice and gave up because meal was already ruined. Potato was also raw and could only eat half of it. After sending steaks back multiple times, they still were the most flavorless steaks I've had in a while. I had to ask for A-1 and I never do that. The waiter was wonderful though. And the fried cheese was pretty good. My grandma like her stuffed crab. Salad was okay. The on duty management was nice and comped the ruined steak and sent one home so I added a star.

There were some glitches which is to be expected on the first night. We knew they would work out the kinks and they have continued to improve with each visit. I cannot applaud them enough for having the spirit to not mock every other restaurants' menus (3 choices in town -very mediocre Mexican food, very sub-par BBQ, or chicken fried steak). They even have -gasp--Italian food! They definitely offer the best burgers in town, my husband has praised the meatloaf, and I've had fried shrimp. There is a nice wide variety in the menu. Service has always been attentive and courteous. In this town that's hard to find as the oilfield has grabbed up the vast majority of workers. As of our last visit (end of March 2015) they were still awaiting their liquor license but you can BYOB and they'll cheerfully provide a bucket of ice and appropriate glassware. The venue has vast potential with a big front porch with tables and a nice outdoor space that begs for entertainment. The interior is comfortable and appointed with all the necessities. I do hope however that they will continue to upgrade the look of this place and will use it to its fullest potential as time goes on. As far as dining goes in Cuero, this place is number one in the median price range and we need to all support them so they'll continue to thrive and we won't just be stuck with drive-throughs!

Had a great chicken fried steak. Cooked cabbage side was great mmm! Give this place a try when coming thru. read more Had a great chicken fried steak. Cooked cabbage side was great mmm! Give this place a try when coming thru.

We usually make it a point to stop by whenever we pass through, although there have been times we've arrived too early or too late when you're not open. We're really glad we were able to stop this time. Our server, LaToya, was incredibly friendly and we truly enjoyed our conversation with her.

We ordered the chicken fettuccine, which featured an incredible homemade Alfredo sauce, and it was served with a delicious garlic breadstick. We also tried the all-you-can-eat fried catfish, which was absolutely delightful. I really enjoyed listening to a gentleman at the bar share the history of the house. It felt like stepping into a family's home, eager to welcome and serve you.
