“No pics! Too good to stop. All was good! From our drinks, to the service, we had the steak tartare 10 out of a 10, lobster bisque. We got one and split it and it was plenty for both of us 10 out of a 10, my husband got the salad. He said it was good. I was too full , and then we split the rib dinner and it was a 10 out of a 10. If you would like an upscale restaurant with not all the crowd, it is a must.“
“I took some colleagues to lunch at Urban Table. I hate the pressure of treating visitors! But Urban Table was a solid choice. We all had the Miso Salmon and it was DELICIOUS. They were still talking about it the next day! To top it off, the service is amazing. Ethan was our server. It was raining when we left so Ethan came with an umbrella to walk me to my car. Talk about hospitality! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.“
“Marfa, Marfa, Marfa!My wife's friend and coworker first recommended Marfa Texas Kitchen (henceforth MTK), and I'll be the first to admit I was somewhat skeptical at first. For one, I don't even know what or where Marfa, Texas is--I'm rather uneducated in the ways of Lone Star geography--and for two, a quick glimpse into the Palantíri (Google) revealed what the professional contrarian in me believed to be a drab cellar with an overexerted theme. Again, I am quite skilled at judging before I have all the facts.Not only did I eat my words, but I'm glad I also ate the food here as well, because MAN let me tell you... MTK is *easily* my new favorite restaurant in Bryan College Station (endless apologies, Gate 12! I still love you!).Every story has a beginning, so let's start from the moment my wife asked me to make the reservation. Being the ancient being that I am, rather than pull up the establishment on Internet Explorer, visiting Bing, and typing "make a reservation for two for a very special evening but nothing too expensive maybe mid-priced but still delicious" like all the other youngfolk would do, I picked up the phone and gave the restaurant a ring. That call was met with a friendly voice from an incredibly helpful person who called herself Sydney, who I've since discovered is the mastermind behind this hidden haunt. Sydney walked me through the menu and, unprompted, offered to make me a menu item for dinner that was normally only on the lunch menu. She was so delightful in our conversation and said things like, "Well, we want you to come here, enjoy your food, and leave happy with what you ate and how you were treated," and I could tell I wasn't just receiving lip service.When my wife and I arrived, we were quickly sat at a cozy table for two, and the preconceptions I had forged before about the dim lighting and artsy atmosphere were quickly snuffed out by just how infectiously joyful the atmosphere was there. Not to mention the theme totally WORKS: the funky mannequin across from the wine, the voguish projector screen at the bar, all the way down to the abiding ceramic Luzerne dinnerware on which guests' meals were being served. The MTK has class and comfort in spades.No date night at a nice restaurant can be superb without superb service, and this is where Hannah comes into the story. She greeted us warmly, efficiently explained the menu's range of options in great detail, and even recognized that I was the extra fellow who asked for a lunch item in the evening. Throughout the meal, Hannah would check on us frequently but not *too* frequently, seeing if we needed refills or to ensure the quality of the provisions being served. She was personable and laughed with us throughout the evening. We'll be requesting her each visit from now on, though I'm sure the rest of the staff are just as outstanding.Now for the food. Oh, the FOOD! What can I say about the food at MTK other than it just simply dismantled the local competition in every way. From the Lite Ya Up Calamari and Virgie's Stuffed Eggs we ordered as appetizers to the Scottish Salmon and the Fresh Catch of the Day (which ended up being a perfectly-cooked halibut), this eatery's cuisine delighted our senses in an almost invasive way. The seasoning on every dish was perfection, the creativity of flavors was jarringly clever, and each unforgettable bite from every product we tried left us embarrassing ourselves with selfish indulgence.The food is quite good. I hope I've made that clear enough.Of the two trips my wife and I have made to Marfa Texas Kitchen, what has stood out the most to us, amidst a sea of blog-worthy successes, is the care that the entire staff shows for its guests. Everyone from the friendly hostess to the can't-possibly-pay-her-enough server, Hannah, to who we assumed was the restaurant manager and the owner, Sydney. I've already preached this into the ground, so I'll conclude with a final word of advice for local meal-seekers:Go try Ma“
“Chips and queso are absolutely amazing. I'm a huge fan of the chicken and waffle taco. Also the mexi cali shrimp taco is delicious! My husband loves the Cuban pig taco. They always have awesome music playing and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.Also, Dawson is such a sweet and helpful employee. Always has a good recommendation. 10 out of 10 stars!“
“That’s how you do breakfast!! From the bubbly hostess, to our waiter (Chris), to our food runner the service was EXCEPTIONAL! Everyone seem to really enjoy working there and it showed in their interaction with my youngest son and my self.The food and coffee were perfect.They just made a loyal costumer out of my family and me.Kid-friendliness: The wait staff and food runner took the time to say hello to my youngest (4). Great people.“
“Besides the food being phenomenal… the service was amazing. The manager came to our table to constantly check on us. He also did the same with others. What a great place to stop while your in College Station. I’m really proud to see how organize, clean and awesome service we were provided. Especially coming from a younger crowd. Manager is doing a great job with the place. We came in for a campus tour at Aggieland and stayed for the food.Let’s not talk about what great flavor the chicken had and the MAC N CHEESE WAS yummy!!! If your down there make sure to stop here!!“
“This place was awesome! From the food to the service and environment! I got the fried pickles and the po-boy sandwich. Both were delucious and generous pirtions. I think Gabe was my server and he was very helpful and attentive.I also did a load of laundry. Erica was very helpful and kind and took great care of me. I'm not from the area, but if I was I'd become a regular. Highly recommended this establishment. Thank you!The panel circled in red shows all the washers and dryers so you can see when your clothes are done washing and drying. Very cool!“
“The food is good. The portions are generous, and it didn't take long to be prepared. A unique place to eat with a definite "Aggie" atmosphere. I eat here often when I am in town.Parking: Easy to find a spot.Kid-friendliness: Easy restaurant to take small children as we had a high chair. The atmosphere is causal and family-friendly.“

Most Definitely One Of The Best Employees Here !! Check Out The Place And Enjoy !! Have A Great Day Or Good Night To Whoever Is Reading This ! GOD , Bless He Or She Reading Take Care !! Peace !

“The menu options seem less than when I originally started going. But, the food was good. The crawfish were terrible. They were so small, overcooked, and cold it was sad. Needless to say, they were returned. They should not have tried to serve them to anyone.“
“My husband and I got the snapper and duck for our entrees and the steak carpaccio for appetizers— all recommended by our wonderful server, Nathan. This is probably one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. I cannot wait to come back.“
“Staying at the Embassy Suites and saw they had a dinner special: prime rib, baked potatoes and broccoli for $21.99. That's a great price.The dice of prime rib was huge (see pic) and the baked potato and broccoli was all you can eat.I was seated immediately and service was excellent, friendly and courteous staff. There is also an open bar and my waitress kept bringing me free scotch on the rocks every time I asked.I really liked the Ajou sauce, piping hot and with a-lot of course pepper in it. Pared well with the meat as did the horseradish sauce.The dining room was clean and not noisy. Pretty quiet and comfortable.I would definitely recommend them and will eat here on my next stay“
“Quiet spot to have lunch in the afternoon! The food was tasty (a bit pricey, but that’s everywhere). My husband and I each got a sandwich and a side and shared a cookie, and that was a perfect portion size. The service was friendly, quick and one employee went out of her way to offer us a high chair when she saw us holding our baby. Our baby loved playing with the crinkly paper that covered the trays! The tavern club, macaroni & cheese and sweet tea are the way to go!My only recommendation would be a bit of music playing in the background. There was a TV but it had a soccer game on and I think country music or instrumental would make for a more relaxing vibe. At one point we were the only customers in there and it felt a bit awkward with no background sound.“

“The manager, Tap, helped out my group of 40 people (we had our own seating area) and his staff went above and beyond. Thank you again for helping our group out and food was great! Will be coming back to this location next time we're in College Station!“

“Kids were very respectful, unlike most places ran by young people. These guys were working and had great customer service. I was glad to see no one was on their phones, and they all looked like they appreciated their job. Great job, ladies and gentlemen!!“
“Service was WONDERFUL! Becka was by herself slingin drinks and food with the best smile on her face. Love seeing that kind of attitude when I know she had to have been under some stress with the large crowds. 10/10 will always be back because of this right here!“
“Grub burgers are fantastic. They have such a great atmosphere. The food is amazing. The place is very clean and the staff is very nice and friendly. The prices are very reasonable. Come here for a great burger, awesome roasted Brussels sprouts and a shake.“
“Currently still here but we didn't even have to wait five minutes to be seated. The staff here are very proactive and polite and are big on service with a smile. The restaurant is very clean.Kid-friendliness: Children are welcomed here they even have a kids day I just glanced at the sign while walking in. I see big families in here at the moment and the staff are even polite and interact with the children.“
“When we arrived, we were asked about reservation which was confirmed. Next, we were shown to our table but never asked if this our first visit and never informed about how or what was expected once seated. Now I understand about the buffet process and love everything. Yes, I plan to return.“
“I’ve been a customer of Koppe Bridge ever since I was a kid. The staff is friendly, the food is fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is calm. Highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for a hearty meal with good prices.Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps on the sidewalks and a ramp going from the front door to the ordering stand.“
“I love you Kettle. One of the great Tbones cooked in the Bryan.Parking: Well lit parking and a safe place to dine on a budget.Kid-friendliness: Great snacks for kids, and they enjoy coloring also. We bring our tablet to watch Hulu while we eat.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access to come on in and have a home cooked meal with gravy and a great atmosphere. No judgment zone.“
“Perfect breakfast/lunch spot right off the main drag near campus. Large parking lot, spacious inside seating and the staff was super friendly. My favorite part was the menu, lots of options across the board from healthy chia seed puddings to a burger. I got the chia pudding bowl with their homemade granola, fresh fruit, and almond butter toast which was all yummy. A little pricey for what you get but enjoyed my meal overall. Their drink menu was great too. I chose a fresh juice which was delicious!“
“Best wings and onion rings I've had anywhere. Can't speak to the rest of the menu 'cause I stick with those two. Get the wings "well done" and they'll be perfectly crispy. I like the hot and I'm not a spicy food lover. (My go to for salsa is medium.) The garlic parmesan (with butter) are also amazing. The onion rings are unique. Sliced thin. Wings and rings. Don't need anything else.“

“Great place to eat with amazing service. Ava and Brittny were great behind the bar. Oh, and the Lemon Drop Martini Ava made me was top notch. As an appetizer I got the boom boom shrimp, which had a bold flavor. Cajundillas as an entree, which was to die for ! Great atmosphere and a family friendly environment. Would recommend to anyone.“
“Delicious. It’s in a great spot (15 minute walk from Kyle Field and barely 3 minutes from the Academic building) and has a great atmosphere. There’s a snake enclosure inside (don’t ask) and a bottle cap alley to the side of the building.“
“I love this Chili's. Like it's the best one I've ever been too. I go regularly and I have never had a bad experience. Food is good, service is good, and the prices are good, what's not too like? A college town staple and a good place to go with friends.“
“While attending a workshop conference and by recommendation from my supervisor, my coworker and I were very satisfied with this place. The food,, atmosphere, serviceby the staff was EXCELLENT. I highly recommend this place if visiting College Station.“
