A friend and I made a day trip to the Oil Museum and decided to have lunch here. The service was quick and efficient and the food was very tasty. There’s an extensive menu. We both had the club sandwich and fries. Will def be my go to when in the area!

First time trying this place. I got grilled chicken, green beans and salad. The green beans had a wonderful flavor. But had an unexpected kick/spice to them . I definitely had drink more tea to offset the heat. The chicken was cooked great and wasn’t dried out. The salad was fresh. The highlight of the meal was the pecan cobbler with ice cream. It was heavenly . I will definitely come back.

Very nice, rustic-like atmosphere. Had their Jackie Dog, described as: “Two gourmet-sized hot dogs buried in melted shredded cheese, smothered with chili, mustard, jalapenos, and grilled onions.”. It was decent but the “smothered with chili” was less than accurate with very little chili present. Overall very good meal though.

Great food and great service! Hush were pretty good. Beans were more spicy than I expected but still tasty. Quest dip was full of flavor but the fries were a little too soft for me. Chicken fried steak was pretty standard but still good and not too chewy.

Food was not bad. The baked potatoes had been sitting awhile and were hard. The hamburger steak was good just was not a big fan of the very small, diced minced onions on it. I’d rather have larger pieces. I would certainly come back to Stafford very friendly. The atmosphere seems very fun.

After years of going there to dance..It’s over. New owners have destroyed the experience for music lovers. Who ever heard if country music live but hell no ti dancing. I will not be going back ever again. I highly suggest that if you enjoy country dancing,do not go there. It’s not the same,it’s pathetic and a waste of time. Kilgore just dropped a huge notch on the entertainment end. Good riddance to the back shack in the back Crack.

I’ve been here many times and there are many more to go. I love coming here for the football games everyone is amazing and the people that come to watch football are even better. Even when the Cowgirls lose to the Lions. I love the food here and always get the bacon cheese fries to start off. Can’t wait to come back for another game.

We wandered in to the Back Porch after a visit to the East Texas Oil Museum. Our waitress, Nicole, advised us of some of the favorites. We settled on
Fried Green Tomatoes (so crispy! Served with ranch)
Homemade Potato Chips with Cheese Rotel (who doesn’t love hot fresh chips?)
Smoke Burger with Sweet Potato Waffle Fries (love, love that Smokey flavor; added salt to the fries which were delicious!)
Bacon Cheeseburger with Curly Fries (mustard all the way, and crispy well-seasoned fries)!
Everything was well worth the drive.

The food is not fancy but it’s made with skill and good ingredients. The focus is on Texas favorites like chicken fried steak. They also have a great selection of draft beers and excellent hush puppies. I really enjoyed my meal.
I was there on a quiet weeknight. Apparently it can get pretty festive on the weekends.
