Restaurants in Kilgore

“Jennifer was an amazing server. She was always on her toes and we wanted for nothing. The food was perfect especially the chocolate pie!”

“Had a wonderful time! Having a bottle of Britt's Blend with our porterhouse steak tonight!!!”

“Small owned local business with friendly staff and great food. Prices are great.”

“There was such a good selection of merchandise, and the food was excellent! The vibes were solid, even had a good laugh with the staff, as we came straight from the ren faire in full costume 😂. We will definitely be returning (hopefully not in faire garb 😅).”

“Really good stuff. Variety is just fine. Got ot go to sout LA to get anything as good. Have tried fried/boiled crayfish, boudain ball, gumbo, fried shrimp, gumbo( good but I like darker rue), frog legs. All good. right along with the sides. All servers and checkout people are very nice, helpful and attentive. Could not ask for more, and fair prices as well.”

“First time visit to Calesa’s. Recommended by my friend Chef Mike. If he says it is good food then I know I have to try it. We were a party of four and each of us had a different entree. Let me tell you now, absolutely everything was delicious. From the fresh chips and salsa, the hibiscus tea, to the various entrees including carne asada, quesadillas, bistek Mexicana, and my order of Platillo Calesa (carne asada/shrimp/chicken), all the way to the dessert of Tres Leche cake. It tasted like authentic homemade Mexican food should. Mike has never let me down and he certainly didn’t this time. We will be back as often as possible and wish Mike and Calesa’s the best of luck on their new collaboration. It was great to see Mike back in a kitchen doing what he does best. Give this place a try, you can thank me later.”

“Hands down the very best restaurant my wife and I have ever dined at. It is not cheap and anyone who gives this less than a stellar review is mad because of price. Drinks here are amazing, but the steak is the best in the world. I’ve been to steak houses from DC to Isla Mujeres and I’m always disappointed. Jack knows how to cook a steak better than anyone. Service is always top notch. Staff is exceptionally well trained. There is a steakhouse in buffalo gap who can almost get close to jacks quality steak but not quite. I still pick Jack. There is a place in Washington DC called 1789 and it is a close third but Jack always wins.”

“frito pie is amazing (can serve 2) portion is huge. I absolutely love the beans (free) while you wait for your order ...love that! My boyfriend is very picky and he love the fish plate. I ordered a plain jane cheeseburger (pickles mustard only) and tots. Little gem 💎 in downtown Kilgore and a great view around Christmas 🎄 ✨️”

“It was good, but not the best I've had. Also, how can a bbq restaurant run out of brisket? After we ordered, 6 of us, the waitress informed us they were out of brisket and inly 3 of us would get brisket. So we got sausage. A bit disappointing.”

“My husband and I love this place. The Tortillas are HOMEMADE and HUGE which makes their burritos out of this world great. The sopes are amazing . The meat is flavorful and their salsa is wonderful. Breakfast or lunch it is ALL authentic great Mexican food.”

“Food was awesome. Best smoked turkey leg ever!”

“One of our favorites now! The staff is super hardworking and the food is always great.”

“Great place to eat. Chicken fried steak can easily cut with your fork, generous portion. Chicken strips are out of this world good! This is an all you can eat buffet.”

“We were visiting from out of town and we went into the store and it was great. We bought an electric ukulele and amp for our son’s birthday.. the owner was great and very helpful. We really enjoyed our experience at the mercantile and we even got to pet the puppy. I highly recommend the visit if you are in Kilgore texas”

“Went today just before Revels. We all ordered pizza and it was incredible. Just perfectly sized and tasted so good.”

“Pizza was not what I ordered, Mgr. was very rude.I have ordered for some years, they now have some smart A Mgr. that accepts your money and not believe his employee took your order wrong. I am calling Corporate and never eating there again. He is a real HOTHEAD.”

“Great food and great place to eat. My wife and I have been eating here for years and we love it. Food is good, service can be slow when busy. The owners are very kind.

The meat pies made for the perfect - walk around lookin at buggies - food. And they were super good! We ate crawfish until it was all gone late that night! Looking forward to eating some Cajun Ben’s soon!”

“So good! We’re from Houston and have struggled to find a taco stand that comes even close to the food there. This place definitely can compete.
A year later and they’re still just as good if not better. Great people and their pastor tacos are the best I’ve ever had. Give them a try, you won’t regret it.”

“Play some Mobile order it was ready extremely quick, super super cheap, and fairly decent tasting, can’t complain with the combination of speed, price and quality”

“(Translated by Google) I liked the taste of the restaurant and the attention the girl gave me was very good, it was just passing through and it was worth it.(Original)Me gustó el sabor del restaurante y la atención que me dio la chava estuvo muy bien sólo iba de paso y valió la pena”

“I have always loved Whataburger. I wish there was one closer to where I live. Can you solve a question my husband and I have? We have been arguing about when the Whataburger was built in Kilgor, Can”

“I came on 11/8/24 around 6:00pm and it was a line of 4 people in front of me. There were 2 younger guys working (1 seemed new) and the line behind me was starting to grow.

I appreciate the 1 worker stopping to ask while continuing to make sandwiches how everyone's day is going; and he paused at a different point to apologize about the wait. I also noticed that although swamped, they didn't rush the customer in front and that they continued to take the glove off when dealing with money then getting new glove to continue making sandwiches. I didn't leave until 6:30.

I commend how they handled the rush and I made sure to tell them before leaving i appreciated the professionalism (and also left a $5 tip).”

“It is always fresh, hot and taste great along with friendly service🙏🏼🌹”

“best blueberry cake donuts, texture was amazing! meat pies on point. the kolache roll reminded me of meche's. great place for breakfast foods”

“These are the nastiest wings I ever had in my life, I ordered a 16 piece lemon pepper hot wing and they sent one order of bland hot wings with curly frys and a order of no flavor tasteless wings with cury frys I did not know chicken could be so bland and nasty. we didn't even eat them they're just sitting there, we did not even have dinner because it was so bad.”

“This place has GREAT food and Wonderful and quick service! Very nice dinning area to enjoy a good meal. I will be back if in this area again.

“Our family has been going to Don Pancho Tacos FOREVER! This place is nostalgic! The taco recipe is still the same from day one and always delicious. HOW DO THEY DO IT!?

“Authentic, delicious food! So happy I found this gem! Will be returning to try more items on the menu. How delicious! I am very happy to find it! I will return often.”

“I had some guy dropping me off in front of their store with all my belongings and a hell of a black eye. They offered the most thorough, genuinely kind hearted welcome. They carried my things in, got me a drink and some food. I was suuuuper humiliated and feeling like I was at my bottom for sure, with no one caring whether I live. They definitely picked the right time to remind me of the good in the world. I may not have been around tomorrow. I’m super grateful for their hospitality, and I DEFINITELY recommend them 🥺🥰🥳”

Parking: In a plaza so you can park at the restaurant or the store near and walk over

“Food: The food was great, but the chicken sandwich could have been a little warmer.
Service: The server was always smiling and very polite.
Atmosphere: The store was really clean, all the tables were wiped off, and the paintings were funny.”

“Friendly, fast, and delicious! They were so busy when I went to pick up my online order tonight but I could tell they were short handed as well. I think I counted three employees and they were all working nonstop. They were super busy..... It was dinnertime rush! My order was running behind but I'm fine with that. I understand that happens sometimes and it was not a big deal. I waited a whole 14 minutes and I'm fine...... It didn't kill me to wait. But I got fresh from the oven pizza and crazy bread and it is delicious!! Thank you for cooking dinner for us tonight! I really appreciate it and I hope these hard working employees get some recognition for the excellent jobs they did tonight! Thank you, guys!! I will definitely be back! ❤️”

“jason was great. very pleasant and reminded me of special!!”

“🥰🥰The Pizzas were great... next weekend is flatbread...”

“It is always fresh, hot and taste great along with friendly service🙏🏼🌹”

“Great barbecue. Always is! I always get it to go and this time the girl forgot to put in the barbecue sauce. Didn’t see it until I got home. So better check and make sure it’s in your bag. But I still highly recommend it.”

“The manager, Andy, is the kindest and nicest manager I've met! He goes around checking with customers at their tables and is really a joy to talk with. The food is always great! The servers have all been very nice and attentive, and didn't let our drinks run out. The atmosphere is nice and comfortable and the tables and booths and chairs are always clean. Andy runs a very professional restaurant that my husband and me always enjoy.

The chicken bacon ranch quesadillas, the grilled cajun duo, and the chicken enchilada soup are my favorites!”
