Reviews for The SmokeStack Restaurant in Mingus, TX

Pork chops were unbelievably tender, juicy and flavorful. No idea what they put in their brown gravy for the mashed potatoes but... it was also very good. Service was excellent and her pork chop recomendation was no different. The atmosphere is amazing,outside venue area, inside they remodeled the old merchantile and have so much history to read and photos to gaze through. Read more

This charming restaurant is one we have been driving by on the highway for years and wanted to stop, but were on a time... constraint. Finally, we had the pleasure of getting to walk in and partake. We were immediately greeted. Our drink orders weretaken, and our food order shortly after. They were very busy, which says a lot. We were not only impressed with the service, butwith the numbers of diners, and the diversity in ages from too young to walk, to old enough to tell stories about the secondworld war. One small group even brought a board game with them and commenced to playing after their meal. Clearly this is aplace where people become comfortable. Our food arrived hot and so delectable that we wanted to order more (but didn't). Therestaurant is kept clean and ready for more diners. The restrooms are clean and well stocked. And when you are done, there is astore, just as charming, next door to peruse. We loved that the buildings are original and historic. So glad we finally got tostop. Read more

Historic place. Blue plate type lunches but you pick the sides. All the food is really good. Great meatloaf, had the grilled... catfish, it was great. The roles were fantastic; kind of a cinnamon roll shape but light and buttery. Well worth the stop. Read more

This has been one of my favorite places since childhood. There's now an outdoor dining option that is enclosed, so you don't... have to worry about your dog or kids getting in the parking lot or road. (Pictured) The food is just as good as I remember. Read more

Excellent food and service. The staff were very friendly and a team players. The place was clean and they were busy. The... chicken fried steak was really good and the rolls and green beans were even better. Read more

Traveling west on I-20 out of Ft Worth and decided to look for a place to eat. Not much out this way. Came up on the old ghost... town of Thurber TX and saw the Smokestack Restaurant. I don?t impress easily, but the food was AMAZING. The special cost lessthan $10 and delicious according to the table next to us.chicken pot pie, salad, drink and dessert. I had the chicken friedsteak and hubby had sirloin steak. We both had baked potatoes and salads. Delicious! Did I mention that it was in the coolestold mercantile building I?ve ever seen. Read more

Great stop for a meal. All the Texas favorites available the day we were there. The whole wheat bun on the hamburger and the... roll with our chicken fried steak both tasted fresh and homemade. Friendly staff, good food fairly fast, clean restrooms androom to park our RV. We?ll be back! Read more
