Tastys - Lufkin (TX)

5 /5 Julie: Oh my goodness! My taste buds are doing a happy dance, haha. This is undoubtedly the best food in Lufkin, hands down. I don’t care who you are or what you think! It’s unbelievable that there aren’t cars lined up outside like there are for some of those other places that can’t even come close. This is definitely comfort food, and it tastes like a wonderful home-cooked meal.

5 /5 Alvin Jn baptiste: The Fried Catfish Dish was amazing, crispy, and fresh!!! I loved the crispy flaky fish especially! Not too salty but just right. The hot sauce was complementary with the fried fish. I got the moist dirty rice and the savory mashed potatoes. They had a peach mango beverage that was really good too ! I could see this as a treat for those dating to be married or already married (couple friendly) cozy atmosphere. Thanks again!!! I’m sorry I did not take a photo! It smelled so good I lost my train of thought, I prayed and started eating!

5 /5 Susan Janke: We decided to give this little place a try today. We are "out of towners" but saw they had great reviews. They definitely did not disappoint! My husband and I ordered 2 dishes to share. One was the fried fish It came with SEVEN pieces of fried catfish (there might have actually been more) and 2 sides (we got fries and dirty rice) and a roll. I forgot the name of the other dish, but it was something like Savvy Potatoes with sauteed shrimp and sausage, topped with bacon and Parmesan cheese. Everything was super delicious!! And the tartar sauce was the best we have ever had. It was almost like a mix between tartar sauce and aioli. Just a note we were there on Sunday evening and there was only the walk up window, no seated dining. We took our order to the nearby zoo and ate in the car by the lake. There was only one young man working there so it was a bit of a wait for the order to be ready, but I felt like that also meant everything was being cooked fresh. It was definitely worth the wait and we will definitely go back when in Lufkin.

5 /5 Eric Hunter: Fantastic everything. The building is small and homey. They told us at the door that it requires reservation, but they allowed us in anyways. The room with the tables is nice and secluded. The woman taking our order was incredibly nice and thoroughly explained their menu. They are a 2 person team, but the food for 6 came out at a reasonable time and was excellent. The vibe is great, too. I would recommend calling and booking a table before hand, though. Just in case.
