My mother decided that she was tired of waiting. She pulled the birthday card and off to Justin, Tx we went. So worth the drive a very inconspicuous building that if you drove by too fast you might pass it. Lucky for me my mother was driving. She hit the breaks and made the turn in. Immediately I was excited it said BYOB. Are they serious??? I just had gotten a nice bottle to celebrate later. Now I can enjoy with my meal? Happiness walked into the little building. We were cheerful greeted by Lizzy our all in one (very sweet and courteous) server. My mom picked a booth near the front door. Our server Lizzy came to our table pleasant, smiling and amazing attitude. She pointed out a dish my mom hadn’t had in over 35 years. I saw the smile on my mom’s face. I asked her to bring my mom some. They arrived looking amazing. My mom was so excited, now I had never heard of Calf Fries aka Sweet Bread. I tried one interesting flavor. I asked my mom “what type of meat it was?” Soon Lizzy walked up. My mom asked me to repeat the question. I do and they look at each other and laugh. My mom says “should I tell her or do you want to? Then says you know what? She smart let her guess. I guess…” Cow Balls” yes I was right. Cow Balls. I had no questions I immediately started cracking jokes. They were good. Back to the meal the special was chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, corn and green beans. All handmade that day flavor was amazing, portion size was huge and the price was great. First bite was full of flavor. Definitely would come back and would order something else. All around amazing experience. A lot of history in the building, food was outstanding and the atmosphere was quaint and friendly. All things good about small Texas towns. My mom was impressed and wants to take her friends. We drove from. Azle to Justin. Again, worth the drive. We took home a slice of pecan pie. Delicious as well as some homemade soap they make with the fat from the cooking. In a variety of scents. A hidden gem that needs to a stop if you can.

They’re baaack! And as good as ever. Charming – every bit of it, from the place to the people. The chicken fried steak was excellent. The grilled quail had outstanding flavor. I’ll be back to try everything else on the menu.

Glad to have them back after a three year hiatus! Went there for a late lunch. Great friendly service. Food was every bit as good as I had remembered. Don’t forget to save room for pie or cobbler for dessert!

Been coming here since the 90’s. I am glad I was ask to comeback for the reopening after Covid. The place has never lost its charm. Dave still owns the place. This is a true Texas country restaurant. Come on in sit down and relax and enjoy the conversation. This is not a fast food joint, this is sit down at home food. The staff is great the food is fantastic . They make chicken fried steak fingers like my mom makes. It is so nice that I can travel out of the city to come in relax. I have have a couple hundred burgers here, yes a couple hundred burgers. The fried zucchini and green tomatoes are fantastic as well. Durning the week they have a lunch special, but I got for burgers or fried steak.

Returned not too long after re-open. Just wasn’t what it used to be. Hopefully things are improving since our visit. The food was over cooked, smaller portions, took over half an hour to get 2 burgers, and the much higher prices definitely did not reflect what you got. For the same money on dbl burgers and sweet fries here, we could have had 2 steak dinners at Tx Road House. Not exaggerating. Its a shame. We need Ranchmans in Ponder and waited so long for your return but please re-evaluate your prices. Being very honest here -We felt ripped off because we were. The food quality I expect (hopefully) will come back as the new crew gets established. But I cant justify paying your prices.

Such a unique dining experience! Quick and kind service. The food is like none other! From scratch and extremely delicious!! Everything was to die for (we had rolls, mushrooms, chicken fried steak, T-bone steak and blackberry cobbler)! Couldn’t be happier that this place is up and running in Ponder!

It is good to see them open again! My wife and I split a porterhouse steak. There was plenty of meat for two of us. I added a baked potato (which you need to order a day before) with all the toppings. All the staff was very nice. They gave us a taste of the lunch special (meat loaf) along with the cooked carrots. I know what I’ll be looking for next time. We finished off lunch with coconut meringue pie. It was very good too. The 45 minute drive from North Dallas went quick.

This is my husband’s favorite place to eat in all the world. He was heartbroken when they closed for the better part of 3 years. Now that they’re back in action, they seem to have the kinks worked out, food back to it’s usual greatness, and a few of our favorites back! So glad to see Valerie and Dave. We go for the fried zucchini as an appetizer and burgers and fries for the meal. So good.

Drove about 80 miles and Had the chicken fried steak, was way over seasoned, was up all night drinking the pink stuff. Way over priced, the chocolate pie was better than the meal, the wife had peach cobbler and it was awful, again ( over priced) charged $2.50 for a scoop of ice cream.
