Hambones Cajun Grill - Palestine (TX)

5 /5 Charlene Watson: I ordered the 20oz sirloin steak and a baked potato and the pinto beans for takeout. The entire order was enough for two full meals for myself! The steak was cooked to order and tasted great! The potato was baked out on the grill so it had a great flavor as well and the pinto beans were awesome! Great service and I was able to pick it up fresh off the grill in about 25 minutes!

4 /5 Kenneth Hampton: ​I tried a variety of items, starting with the Cajun fries and fried pickles. The fries were the highlight—topped with BBQ sauce, cheese, jalapeños, and chopped brisket. While the brisket was a bit on the fatty side, the overall flavor was delicious. The fried pickles were also excellent, featuring a perfectly seasoned batter. ​For the main course, I had the fish and shrimp. Unfortunately, this was just okay; the fish fillets were quite small and lacked flavour. However, the sides were a standout—both the coleslaw and hushpuppies were great. In the future, I’d likely skip the fried fish unless I paired it with a side of etouffée to give it a boost.

3 /5 Melissa S: Found this place while in Palestine and it wasn’t quite what we were expecting. I myself got the never ending catfish but didn’t need a refill because they initially give you plenty! I’ll say the catfish was VERY tasty!! I don’t know if it’s because we are from Houston, but for us a seafood boil is way different than what was offered here. The crab and the shrimp were just literally boiled. Didn’t taste like anything or have any sauce. It’s not that they were bad they were plain and we’re not used to that. Also, we really wanted crawfish but our server, who was very nice by the way, said it was out of season so they didn’t have any. Again, we’re from Houston so it was strange to hear they’re out of season when I know here in Houston places are still serving them. Overall, I will not be coming back because I will not be in Palestine again. Would I recommend it? Yes if you’re gonna have the catfish or any other dish, I don’t recommend boil.

5 /5 Mike Ritchey: Big delicious cheese burgers and great fries. And cold Coors Banquet & IPAs beers... Great service by Kacie... We will be back..!!

5 /5 Catherine: My bestie and I went for dinner. The restaurant had a good size crowd when we entered yet we were welcomed in with Southern hospitality. We sat outside and Robert was our waiter. He recommended the special and it did not disappoint. If you have a chance to have a slice of Mamas Rum Cake, DO IT! Im a pretty good amateur baker and I havent (yet) come close to the perfect crumb that this cake has. Ill be bring my husband back for the well marbled steaks we watched get hand cut.
