What People Are Saying About Threadgrill's Catering

In Short – Texas tunes are on the jukebox and vintage signs cover the walls. The parking lot features antique farm machinery. The casual atmosphere is popular with families; kids especially like the railroad sidecar that's been converted into a dining area. The chicken-fried steak is the signature dish, although the meat loaf may run a close second. The vegetable selections are the Texas soul food sort and include red beans and rice, fried okra and black-eyed peas.

Threadgill's - Southern Cooking Like It's Suppossed To Be
by skippysautter
Great job bringing Threadgill's back to where it was; an icon for Southern Cooking. I stopped coming a few years ago and decided to give it another try. Stellar...In fact STELLAR!! I was greeted at the door with alot of smiles (something other restaurants should take notes on.) I was sat and greeted quickly and my overall experience was great. I had the chicken fried chicken which was plump, golden brown, delicious, and hot. The beer was cold and it says they now have a happy hour all day with $1 Lone Stars. The remodel looks great without losing the original feel. I highly recommend Threadgill's.
- Pros: Hot, fresh food. fast, efficent service
- Cons: Parking

Just ok for me....
by ohyeahlach
We were recommended by several people to go to Threadgills so we were a but disappointed. No major complaints it just doesn't live up to all the hype. Service was kind of pokey but friendly... food just average.
- Pros: Downtown location, friendly service
- Cons: No real cons, just an average experience

nothing special
by txmadame72
The vegetables were decent, fried shrimp were okay, steak was nothing special and the rolls were pretty good. The service was good, even though one of our orders wasn't placed. Nobody at our table really enjoyed their meal.
