About as nice of a restaurant as you would expect to find in Lufkin. Really nice inside white tablecloths good wine a decent prices excellent side salad with an amazing house dressing - mustard. Wes is an amazing host. Professional. Explains the menu choose well. I had a great Cab here - from Cali The restaurant us in the same building as the hotel and it’s a decent hotel. If you stay here it’s just a walk around the corner to the restaurant and walk back when you’re done.
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!!
A small formal restaurant with cloth tablecloths, crystal drinking glasses, and metal silverware in a cloth napkin. A variety of food for the adult pallette. There was a bar was well. The food was delicious. The locals recommended it to us. I didn't see any children menus or high chairs.
I stayed in the Holiday Inn Express which is across the parking lot from this restaurant which is located in the Quality Inn. I asked the front desk clerk for a restaurant recommendation and she said the food at Hole In One is good but a little pricey. She said that Chicken Fired Steak was $28. This piqued my curiosity and I had to go try it. I walked over and sat at the bar where the service was great. I did try the Chicken Fried Steak and this is definitely not your grandmother's chicken fried steak. It is a center cut filet hammered out thin, battered and fried. I travel quote a bit and it is always nice to find the hidden gems along the way. The Hole in One will be my go to restaurant any time I am in the Lufkin area. I strongly recommend you give this restaurant a try and specifically the Chicken Fried Steak.
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.
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
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 had their pork chop. It was amazing, it was cooked perfectly. The sides were good as well. Definitely recommend.
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
Nice atmosphere and delicious food! What more could you want? Great service from Wes. He was attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu. I had the Chicken Gumbo and a Southwest salad. Both were delicious!
