Branana D Delicious food, nice atmosphere, great staff. From the outside you cant see much, but inside is very nice. Food prices are good too.

Lesley McDaniel My favorite since I was a child over 50 plus years, originally founded in 71. Its the most consistent sandwich. Its been good, no matter what location I visit, from Colorado, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas and used to be in Utah. Sad face, the Utah closed during Covid. But by far the best sourdough sandwich Ive ever had. I get the Original sandwich every time, but all the food is good. Got the mac and cheese last time, I liked it as well. Overall good food.

Stephanie Mescher My husband and I stopped here for lunch during a day trip to Gainesville. Although it is inside a gas station, the food is incredible! We both loved our orders, he got a chicken dish and I got a vegetarian dish, and you get a huge serving. We had to wait a bit for our food, but highly recommend it and hope to go back next time we are in town.

Kyle Pearce Both the jalapeño pepper jack burger and grilled chicken club were very good, cooked to perfection. The small fries were tasty too. Sauces were a little funky however I found the jalapeño sauce to be the best.. the vanilla malt was okay.. I think Braum’s deliver better tasting malts. This is my first time here so I enjoyed it.

Scott Gregory This is for Chilis, Not Just Wings! I used the App to order curbside. I arrived at the time it was estimated to be ready. I received a text just as I was pulling up saying my order was ready. I checked in using the text link. I waited about 10 minutes and checked in in the App. A young lady looked out and saw me sitting outside but didnt come out, so I thought maybe it wasnt ready. After another 10 minutes, I went in and saw my order sitting on a shelf. Im sure it was cold by now. The young lady came up after I was standing there a few minutes and asked if I had a to go order. I told her yes, its right there in the shelf and Ive been waiting 20 plus minutes. She asked if I wanted it remade. I said Yes! She could tell I was very irritated. She took the food back and a manager came out. I explained my situation. He told me they were remaking it. I showed him the two check ins I had done. He then said the system must be malfunctioning. He offered a free dessert for my trouble which I gladly accepted. The manager was very friendly and helpful. The food came out after another 10 minutes. It was warm. The food was good. The molten lava dessert was fabulous. It took a lot longer than planned but everything turned out good.

La Maravilla Everything was delicious great place big menu to pick from food for everyone

Sarah Jo Weve been here 2 times over 3 years and was delicious both times and the process didnt go up by much! Their calzones are huge and amazing and not expensive and they give you free rolls too!

Daniel Cancel Great place showers are totally different that what im a custom too. This shower was the best thing Ive ever used out here on the road. Facility is clean people are friendly and easy going open 24 hrs . Let alone as a driver cheaper than going to a truck stop like love, TA, Petro, pilot or flying J. Handicap accessible also.

Jay Dyess Dont judge it by the outside. I was worried until I walked in. The food was incredible! Best fettuccine ive ever had. The chicken parm was a great cut of chicken and delicious. Service was great, a DEFINITE RECOMMEND. The low pricing worried me but that ended. Try the Tirimsu!

Steven Schwier The food was great. Tried their spicy chipotle limited time rub which was delicious.

Cassie Westover Stopped by The Japanese Cowboy food truck in Gainesville, Texas today, and wow, what a treat! I had the chicken and veggie hibachi along with some egg rolls, and every bite was delicious. The food is seriously mouthwatering! I also got to chat with the owners, who are super friendly and made the experience even better. Definitely a hidden gem in town. I’ll be back for sure! Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!

Gary Crenshaw Stopped by today and had the eggplant parmesan for lunch and without a doubt was the best I have ever had in my life.

Leilani ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars, Without Hesitation I rarely give five stars across the board, but this Cracker Barrel truly earned every single one. From the moment we walked in, we were treated with such kindness and care. The hostess, our waitress, the gentleman clearing tables, and even the ladies at the checkout counter in the store area all made my husband and me feel genuinely welcomed and seen. That kind of hospitality is rare, and it did not go unnoticed. The food was absolutely delicious, comfort food done right, and we were pleasantly surprised when they let us know about the military discount, something our own local Cracker Barrel has never mentioned. That extra thoughtfulness meant a lot to us. There is some construction happening on the main highway nearby, but honestly, it was a non issue. We simply turned around a bit early after missing our turn and had no problem getting right into the parking lot. Because of the exceptional service and overall experience, this will now be our Cracker Barrel. Anytime we are driving through this area, we will stop here, no question. Thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond. You turned a simple meal into a really meaningful, memorable experience.

Joaquin Salas New Mexican Food restaurant near Winstar owned by folks from Durango, Mexico. Food is authentic, fresh, and reasonably priced. Wife and I tried for first time today and loved what we ordered. We had three gorditas, rajas con queso, desebrada, and chile verde. All three were delicious. First bite of the chile verde took me back to Mexico. We also had the breakfast burrito. I asked for huevos a la Mexicana with sausage and it was the bomb. They added Mozzarella cheese and it was my first time trying this combination, but I loved it. Who would have thought cheese with eggs tasted so good. Green and red salsas were both good. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Sharpjet/ This is me and my girlfriend’s favorite place to eat! Amazing food and amazing staff. They even gave us free dessert since we’re both leaving for college!
