Definitely a great place. Everything made in house, the blue cheese dressing is outstanding. Ordered a chicken parm, really nice. Definitely eat here again, and again. Had a couple cold shiner books with my meal. Perfect

This hole in the wall restaurant is SO AMAZING! MAC our waitress was sweet and mad a kick ass dirty martini! The food was spectacular ( I had the Louisiana BBQ Shrimp, Asparagus and MacnCheese with a side salad with raspberry vinaigrette) I honestly have to say It’s one of the BEST meals I have ever had). The ambience is very nice, light jazz with low candle like lights. Everything was perfect! My mom had the 16oz Ribeye cooked to perfection with brussel sprouts and garlic roasted potatoes. She said it was delicious! DEFINITELY a must visit place!

Surprised by quality of food we ordered. Egg rolls and gumbo unique and tasty. Roasted potatoes, green beans, side salad, dressing, just right. Meatloaf was ok. Drinks great.

What a hidden gem! I rarely give tens for my whole meal. Had the Mahi Mahi with green beans and red potatoes. Everything was a perfect 10. It's nice inside, and if you want to get a drink at the bar and watch sports that is also an option. TV was turned down, so it didn't mess with the atmosphere. I was told a local favorite and it was much better than I anticipated. It's located inside the Quality Inn so that really threw me off at first. I would eat here any time I'm in the area again. Staff was friendly and prompt! Thank you Lucky!!

Omg this place was amazing! I was a guest at the Quality Inn, Lufkin TX, where this location is located inside of, August 2024. For 13 dollars, my socks were blown off!! Food absolutely amazing! Decent size portions. The Garlic and Herb red potatoes were better than my mom's. (Sorry mom) If there was one thing I would suggest, please separate the sides, so that the bottom of the burger doesn't get soggy.

I'm hesitant to write about this spot as I've lived and worked here for more than three years and was just introduced to it, so it's kept a low profile, but here we are. Attached to one of the lowliest of motels in Lufkin, you'll find a nice quiet and, believe it or not, classy little restaurant. Hole in one serves top-notch american classics like chicken fried steak but also a few international favorites like butter chicken. I tried the shrimp and grits and have no complaints. The Dr. Pepper carnitas should be shared as one appetizer will top you off. The butter chicken was very good and the spice level is adjustable. Who woulda thunk right? Just don't tell people you don't like about this place! Price-wise, you can easily spend more at Whataburger on a combo than some of the entrees here.

Leandra and Joe are absolutely running this place right. Leandra is so friendly and welcoming while Joe is mixing up the best Old Fashion I’ve ever had. The food was exquisite and the service is even better. Love IT I got to edit this as I do when I’m blown away twice. Wes is definitely running the place to perfection with his old fashioned and keeping all the customers taken care. Him and his partner definitely make the place a great dining experience. I had the pleasure of eating the Louisiana BBq shrimp and it was on point. Love IT
