Going to be spending the night in Decatur on saturday night? Is there any good places to eat up there? There used to be a decent steakhouse on top of hill right off 287 that was decent? Haven't been up that way but once in years and only stopped to get gas at 5:30 in the morning on the way to Amon Carter!

So what says the OT, what is worth eating up there now days?

You thinking sweetie pies rib eyes? Or cow camp steak house?

If you want seafood, head to Go go Gumbo. It's fantastic. But if you aren't there by 6-630 you'll be waiting a while

I sure don't know but I do remember one restaurant that would cook my frog legs for me. In the late 60s people were pretty helpful.

There are a some really good places to eat in the downtown square. I do not think you will be disappointed with any of them.

Sweetie Pies is great.

Go go Gumbo (actually in Boyd, worth the drive)

Cow Camp (probably the one on 287 you're thinking of)

sweetie pies (on the square, same owners of babes chicken if you're familiar with that)


I don't get up there often, I am sure there are more hole in the wall places the locals know

Sweetie Pies is on the square and the Cow camp is north on 287.

There's a new place on 287 just north of town by that Catfish Charlie's place, its called Bono's, its pretty good and good eye candy too. They might have some live entertainment too. Look up The Wistle Stop, its on Bus. 287 and only open for lunch, it's probably one of the best burger places in the state. The places on the square, meh.

Neither one of those places sound familiar, it was on the left as you were going North on 287! It was on top of a hill once you passed it, you went down a long hill and then you were going out of Decatur going toward's Bowie!

I know we are not going to make it up there by 6-6:30, lucky if we leave Crowley by 6-6:30.

WOW, all three of those places look good! I will let the wife decide which one she wants to eat at!

If it was up to me, we would probably go to one of the Steak places!

It look's like Sweetie Pies is the favorite so far!

Doesn't the guy that owns babes own sweetie pies?

I got nothing. p/c

Yes.

We love going to Babes, so we should love Sweetie Pies!

I thought so, I've never been to sweetie pies, but babes is good.

The Decatur Allsups,has an awesome burrito.

Casa Torres is great Mexican food.

Please be more specific Lannie. there are two Allsups in Decatur.

The one by the ball feilds,east side off Hwy 51 i think it is.Used to stop in there all the time coming home from coon hunting.

I can honestly say, I've never had a Allsups burrito!

Dude, you haven't lived until you've had to run to the restroom IN THE ALLSUP'S after sonsuming a bite of one of their butt-rockets..........I mean burritos!
