Holiday Restaurant

If you are traveling down I-10 and want to eat like a local skip the chains and head to Holiday Restaurant. We have a great server in Macy who helped us pick the best options. Everyone else eating was friendly and offered their favorites from the menu. We stopped in on a Sunday and enjoyed the Sunday special. That included a drink, your meat of choice and three sides plus a choice of your favorite slice of pie!

My husband and I come here often. Today when we decided to have lunch, we thought we might try the lunch at the Holiday. There wasn't really anyone there yet, so I asked the waitress if I could try a very small sample of the chicken and dumplings, because I was undecided on meatloaf and the chicken and dumplings. I was told that the cook said they will not allow it. I'm not really sure what it would have hurt to let me try, but apparently it would have broken some sort of "rule!" Seems like being friendly to people would benefit this place.

A place locals know. Don't let the look of the outside keep you away. Although the decor is basic and dinnerware is mostly plastic, it still feels like a mom is cooking the food. All food was cooked well and is delicious. It is a southern home-cooking family style restaurant that offers specials. If you are looking for a non-chain local place to eat in the area, it is definitely worth stopping in here.

Excessively long wait times for mediocre food. Got a little homemade looking burger and a chicken sandwich with 2 undercooked chicken strips on it. Total was 32$ somehow. Not good. I only gave 2 stars because I went there once before for the Sunday lunch and it was ok.

Excellent service, excellent food. Steaks, tendor and juicy with good flavor. Room for big groups or individuals just eating a meal. Quiet atmosphere, nice evening amongst good folks. Prices good for the quality. Definitely will go back and bring folks with me. I can't wait to taste their homeade chocolate pies.
