When I pass this sign I want to pull over to grab a bite. I love this place for several reasons.

Reason number one is the fried green tomatoes. OMG they are the bomb awesome! I go here just for these tomatoes which are given for free. They used to walk around with hotel pans full of them as well as stewed tomatoes, okra and other goodies which they no longer do for whatever reasons. Now you get a little thing full of fried green tomatoes and okra. I am still happy even though they changed. I will take whatever green tomatoes I can get! 

 

 

This photo shows another reason I get hungry passing this place. They have a man who walks around yelling fresh hot rolls and throws them at you sometimes from across the room. If you don’t catch it don’t worry, he will throw you another one. These rolls are really yeasty and just plain good!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The salads are cold, crisp and really good! Imagine a meal for around $10 that includes thrown rolls, fried green tomatoes and a terrific salad all before you get your main entrée! The question is will you have room for it all?

This dish is the chopped sirloin with gravy, onions and peppers. This night he also threw on some mushrooms for me. Also look at that loaded baked potato! Yes it was all really good. I just love comfort food.

 

 

They have specials all the time. This particular night they had a half rack of ribs with the sides for under 12! Not only is the food good and comforting but it is comforting to your wallet.

Ok, I know it’s a chain but I have recently discovered that many people have not eaten here. Why? I have been told it is it intimidating to walk into a steakhouse when you are pinching penny’s. This is not one of those places folks. The food is not high priced at all! You can get a 6 oz sirloin with soup or salad and one side for 9.99 plus tax. I believe you need to live life fully which includes your taste buds. So save up if you have to!

 

I have eaten my way through the menu here and at other locations as well. The croutons on the salads are deep fried which makes them really light and crisp. The combination platters are a really good deal. Love that they bring bread and butter and will keep on bringing it to you as long as you want more.

The food has always been good for the price and the amount of food on your plate is perfect. There is no reason for me to eat anymore than a huge baked sweet potato, 6 oz steak, salad and a bunch of bread.

 

 

Most of the time the service is good. We did get a lousy waitress once who never checked on us. I am sure she didn’t work there for long unlike some other Houston area restaurants that seem to keep people they really should let go but I will rant about that in a separate post at a later time.
