Highly Recommended 14 Dinner Restaurants Near College Station, Texas

Ernestine Porter The service was excellent. This team works well together and goes above/beyond to meet their customers needs. The restaurant was clean, the food was hot and fresh. I’d highly recommend this location for a gathering. Great job Isaiah!

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.

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.

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.

Joker "Exceptional Service!" I had the pleasure of being served by Casey , and I was truly impressed. He was very friendly, and attentive.

A real asset to the team!

Kristy P Wont be long b/c whats great doesnt need too much selling. Pizza was top tier. Great crust with actual flavor, great toppings and cooked to perfection. Tomato salad was great. FRESH and great quality ingredients. For a change, I didnt feel like I flushed money at a restaurant. When in the area, Id love to return. Ate at the bar, bartenders were very attentive.

Joker Our waitress was amazing! She greeted us with a smile, checked on us often without being intrusive and made great menu suggestions. Drinks stayed full and food came out quickly. Fantastic service

Michael Dickens This Tex-Mex haven is a must-visit! Chuys has the best chips and their creamy jalapeño ranch is legendary. The vibrant decor makes for a super fun meal. I highly recommend the Chicka-Chicka Boom-Boom Enchiladas. Fast service and a great happy hour. Go!

Mary Carol Garrison We visited for lunch today and enjoyed a great meal. I had the salad bar and hubby had the full experience. My favorite was the Pasta Fagioli and his was the Filet Mignon. And yes, we had dessert…Raspberry Lemoncello. Our server, Jalice, was excellent and treated us like royalty.

Shanna Woodson We went tonight. They were pretty steady. Our waiter Steven was amazing very attentive. The food was very good. The atmosphere was quiet not loud at all. Service was fast not too fast that you didnt have time to enjoy your appetizers before main course came out. Which we loved that. Steven came back to check on us often along with his other tables. Manager came by to speak with us. We will definitely be back to this location again. Keep up the great experience.

Nathan Martin My son and I were driving through College Station for business and found ourselves in the mood for a good country-fried steak. I was told The Cotton Patch was a solid choice—and it absolutely did not disappoint. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, and the service was outstanding, especially considering they were short-handed. Our server went above and beyond; at one point, I even saw them walk an elderly woman out to her car and help her with her leftovers. That kind of kindness says a lot about a place. The portions aren’t oversized, but they’re incredibly tasty and satisfying—we cleaned our plates without hesitation. It was exactly what we were craving. I’ve been to quite a few country-style restaurants, and honestly, this was the best I’ve had in several years. The only downside? They don’t have a location in Austin. If you’re in College Station and hungry, I definitely recommend stopping by The Cotton Patch. You won’t leave disappointed.

Scott Mckinley The food is fresh and pretty good, not big on the thin cut fries but they have onion rings. Good selection and the service is very good and was served hot food pretty quick. Order at the counter and they bring it to you at your table. Does have a bar but didnt try that. Its a little pricey but you have to pay more for fresh food

Luis “NiceSharky” First visit ever. Love the AC and cleanliness. Staff is friendly and professional. Seating is great, with combination of booths and tables. I would love to come here to work on a paper or small group project. Cant wait to try the fresh bread on next visit.

Adithya m Came early in the afternoon between 10 and 11. Total was 16 bucks before tip. Though there is a small upcharge for ordering it moist, regular brisket is 2 bucks cheaper. At 16 bucks assuming you order it moist its 3 dollars cheaper than 1775 for the same portion of brisket. I came wednesday morning on a weekday and there was no wait. Im not really a barbecue connoisseur, but the brisket was good even compared to 1775 if you ask me. I guess there was less bark, but the brisket was just as tender and moist. You wont be disappointed with the moist brisket here. I wish Rudys had a smoked mac and cheese but it wasnt on the menu when I checked.
