Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in College Station, TX

Gilford Welch Ava took care of me first as I caught shift change. She was attentive and friendly even though she was training someone. The meat and cheese plate is always great. If you’re eating it alone, do yourself a favor and take some home for an omelette in the morning. The evening staff (Scott, Riley, Matt and Grady) were equally friendly but, I wasn’t there long after that to say much about them. Can get a little loud at times but, patrons are friendly and make menu suggestions that are reliable.

Mr. O I think this is going to be our place for the future. The food, service and atmosphere is top notch. Fresh to order dishes, steaming hot and absolutely delicious is the word to describe their food. We tried their Chaufa de Mariscos rice and their Ceviche de Mariscos. Both prepared with care using the freshest ingredients. The preparation was great and the dish looked great. One word of caution is on the Chaufa rice the serving is enormous like 4 people can eat from that plate and I have a big appetite but this was huge. The Ceviche good for one person and you will be stuffed. We also tried their Tamarindo and Chicha morada juices and very refreshing and fresh. The do have a lunch menu from 11am to 3pm good selection and cheaper prices. Overall a great experience and will be back when in town. Come and check them out and support your local businesses.

Victor Zavala I always stop by at Juanita for some delicious enchiladas. The chicken used is very delicious and filed with flavor. I also order a side of beans and rice with the enchiladas. The restaurant also offer drinks and have tvs for entertainment. The front area you can observe the turf area and the back has a vide of a pool.

Emily Leone I have heard about this place for a while and have been watching to try it so I finally went with a few friends. You order at a register then they bring out your food to your assigned table. I got the Nutella waffles with strawberries and a side of potatoes. The waffles were delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness. I will say it says on the menu syrup is an extra $.90 but I just asked for it at the register when ordering and they added it to my order for free. In addition the potatoes were not for me. They were heavily fried it was hard to eat them because they were pretty heavy for me, so I ended up giving them to my friends to finish. I know my friends loved them though so if that is your thing definitely get them, I just prefer pan potatoes not fried. I would definitely come back again!

Ken Sellers Listen up! "Hot" actually means "hot" at HHC. (Exactly the opposite of Taco Bell.) My chicken was "Spicy", and it was all this spicy-food lover could handle. Thats two levels down from the hottest they offer! The chicken tenders are BIG; the "Sandwich & Tender" meal was more than enough food. I loved the decor. Really glad we stopped in as part of attending the Texas A&M Sports Car Clubs "Cars And Chicken" event.

Christina M The food was AMAZING!! So refreshing to eat at a restaurant that serves plant based foods as a complete dish. I had the veggie bowl, tofu tacos and cauliflower tacos. Everything was BEYOND delicious. Will definitely be back!

Anthony (Beer Chronicle) Gorrity Massive tacos with unique flavor combos. Everything is very sharable! It feels like a more humble version of Torchy’s. The massive salsa bar was a highlight for me as well.

Ryan (CyrusDrake) Really good! In fact, it’s a contender for my favorite fried chicken in town. The only undecided winner so far is Mess Waffles. The Cookshack has a different vibe and feels more like a lunch or dinner spot, while Mess is the perfect breakfast place. Alright, who am I reviewing again? Right. The Cookshack has some great options, and my wife and I went for the Chicken & Waffles. I chose the hottest seasoning they had—pretty sure it was ghost pepper—and yeah, it was spicy but didn’t make me miserable. There was a lot of food, and it definitely filled us up. My wife got mac n cheese with hers and really enjoyed every bite. The cashier was nice and attentive. The atmosphere is great for a lunch or dinner date. Plus, they have large booths, which we really appreciate.

David Hayes Its a fun place to go with friends when you want to have a boisterous engagement. Its loud and happening. Im usually a more relaxed type of person, but I do really like their homemade rolls and peanuts. I could literally go there just for that. The best Ive found to eat there is either the Chicken Fried Steak or a Steak. It would be slightly a higher rating if they had willingly refilled my drink. I was at the bar for my meal, and no wait time in a crowded restaurant at peak hours. Very impressive seating time and good family atmosphere.

Lizzie Cassie I tried cava at the college station location and it was A great experience. The staff members are so patient with you Brittany and dee and fatima were very friendly and patient and they dont rush you either which is great for people like me who can’t decide which is also gray because they let you try the meats there. Definitely recommend, in college Station. It’s a great experience.

J Miles The atmosphere and food were great. We had the Ruben sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries and the chicken fried steak with green beans and mash potatoes. They were hot and great. It is probably the best Ruben I have had with superiority tender meat. I knocked the service to 4 stars. It was good and the staff were nice and attentive, but it seemed more forced as a upscale place than a laid back nice place. Ill go back, so dont knock for that point. If you like watching planes, they do have seating right of the tarmac, and it is a great place for small and large parties. We could get in without a reservation, but I recommend one if you are unsure on how busy they will be.

Joker Hands down, Crust serves the best pizza I’ve had. I ordered the Carl’s King, and it was absolutely delicious. Be sure to get a side of ranch for dipping—you won’t be disappointed. The staff was also friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

Tristin Benton Guys I’ve had a religious experience here last night. Was a nice night for a ride on the good ol harley, so my badass grandfather and I went for a spin and landed here. I’ve been wanting to go for some time, he tells me about this sandwich they’ve got called the Monte Christo. I’m intrigued, we sit there at the bar and have some drinks and the manager brings out to me a DEEP FRIED SANDWICH!!! With powdered sugar to top! It was outstanding, top five best sandwiches in my life. That’s not even the best part, one of the employees helped me jump start my Harley when they closed. Maddox, you’re a friggin legend dude, may god bless you!

Jay Shoutout to Caleb at Willie’s Grill & Icehouse! He was super friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out exactly right. Drinks stayed full, food came out hot, and the service was fast without feeling rushed. He definitely made the experience better ask for Caleb if you’re eating here.

Rena Marie I am just leaving a review for Akeeyla! She was super sweet! She greeted us promptly, let us know she would be right with us, as they were busy. She took our order and was patient with us, as it was our first time visiting Dave’s Hot Chicken. She made direct eye contact and totally made you feel like she cared about your experience at their restaurant. I visit so many other place (restaurants and stores) and people just seem so annoyed that you’re bothering them as a customer. I just really appreciated finally having an amazing customer experience for once!!! She literally made our day better! Thank you so much girl!!!
