Was really happy to find this joint while in town. The owner was super friendly and even had time to sit down and chat with us for a while. We enjoyed the food and the family atmosphere. They had a community jigsaw puzzle on one table, books and magazines for people to read, over all very family oriented. We will visit again when in the area!
**UPDATE**
We were attending the Kilgore Oktoberfest downtown and was excited to see Brigitta’s set up. We opted out of the other lines to go straight to where we knew the food was good. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. They only took cash, so we walked 4 blocks to the ATM, paid the $5 total fee to remove cash, walked back and stood in line a second time. Ordered the sausage and a chicken schnitzel sandwich and paid almost $20. The sausage was ok, but wasn’t hot, it came with a bun and mustard. The sandwich was literally a frozen chicken patty that had been heated up. It came with a bun and you put your own condiments on it. I’m glad we went to the restaurant in town first, because had this been our first visit, we never would’ve tried the other one.

Excellent through and through. This hidden jewel is authentic Hungarian food with a casual setting for a really enjoyable meal. Highly recommend. Everything on the brief and selective menu was delicious and made to order. The chef made our visit a true culinary experience and we HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for eat in, or take out. YUMMY!

Great authentic Hungarian food. I had Pork Paprikas and Stuffed Cabbage. Both were delicious. The decor was very homey and comfortable. The owner was extremely friendly and conversational. You can tell he is very passionate about his food. There are different items on the menu depending on what day you go.
I strongly recommend giving this place a try. I’m definitely going to come back!

This is the place that day trips were made for. Authentic Hungarian food served by a mom and pop owner that are absolutely delightful to watch bicker with each other. You can try strudel you can have schnitzel you can have homemade brats aka bratwursts. They ship nationwide to 48 states. If you’re traveling along I-20 between Dallas and Shreveport Louisiana you should make this an in-between destination for great food. Check out their website for Hungarian delivery nationwide.

The food is amazing. I don’t normally enjoy cabbage, the Owner let my sample the stuffed cabbage and the pork saka. Both were delicious. I ate the beef poprikosh, (my spelling sucks) and it was good to. I personally reccomend the Stuffed Cabbage. It’s what I’m going to get next time. Very friendly staff.

Folks were polite, place was clean, food flavor ok but blan for me. Wife got a chicken schnitzel, a thin chicken patty fried. With it came mashed potatoes with just a drizzle of natural gravy. 15$ Mine was pork mixed with mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. 10$. We think it a bit pricy for mostly cabbage and mashed potatoes. Should have been on a nice dinner plate but everything here is paper and plastic forks. Lots of good reviews, just not for us. Worth giving it a try.

Fantastic food and friendly owners. We went to Brigitta’s for an early dinner on a Friday night and had a great experience. It is a 30-minute drive from our home, but we’ll definitely be back. The food was great, the place is very kid-friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable.

I’m giving it 4 stars for diversity and potential. My husband and I liked our food. It was hearty, hot, and definitely comfort food. Unlike many restaurants, it felt like a home cooked meal.
I think they can improve it by putting the food on a real plate and serving with silverware. Using paper plate and plastic ware for dinner devalues the food on the plate. There were only 5 people in the restaurant so washing 5 plates should be doable.
Add some color for aesthetic appeal.
Lots of potential so I recommend giving this family run business some love and patrons.
