New York Hill Restaurant

We planned a stop for lunch on a road trip to Las Colinas for a company Christmas Party. We have stopped here for years, this time we had a small chicken fried steak and a hamburger steak both with mashed potatoes and green beans. Our drinks arrived quickly as did our side salads. The cafe has a nice view of the Smoke stack across the highway and a very nice interior, it's definitely homey. The wait staff have always been nice and friendly. Too. A favorite memory was when the kids were young and we stopped for dinner. It had been snowing that day so there was a nice blanket of snow on the ground. After dinner we had to let the dogs out of the minivan for a walk so the kids enjoyed walking them in the snow down the hill. The dogs did their business and walked around in the snow a bit before dragging the kids back to the warm minivan! I'm thinking that was the last time we were able to travel with the pooches, now they have a pet sitter.

This type of restaurant is t a number one choice of mine but when traveling with my 90 y/o mom it's a go to for her when we head to visit family in West Texas. Warm, soft, and layered baked roils, homemade tasting meals, and thoughtful and professional service. Love being able to sit near the large windows to see out to the lawn and over the highway to rolling hills and at times humming birds who visit in the spring and fall.

They welcome you when you walk in. Lots of seating. The dinner rolls that we were given with our tea were warm and delicious. My husband and I both got the catfish special. Lots of food on the small and large platter. The catfish strips were fresh and light. The coleslaw was cold and refreshing. The potato caught me off guard due the way the potatoes were cut. But.... They are great!!! We also had pinto beans that tasted like it belonged in a contest and it was the winner. Our meal came with homemade warm brownies that were deliciously amazing! This is a must STOP to eat!!!

It's amazing how time flies. I looked at the pictures from my review. Today, I had the same meal I had 7 years ago! They make a great club sandwich. And a Yelp check in still gets you a free slice of buttermilk pie! Seven years ago, the lunch special was $8.95. Today, it's $13. Inflation spares no one. Glenda had breakfast for lunch. I snagged a piece of her thick crispy bacon, but she didn't share the biscuits and jelly! New York Hill is a great place to take a break as you're speeding down Interstate 20. And don't forget to take home a bottle of their pepper sauce. It's great on everything!

We've had this on our "list" for a long time. Even passed it leaving Fort Worth for our weekend getaway. I was hoping they were open Sundays and got excited when we pulled into the parking lot. I can say the earlier is the better. We got there at 5 and by 6 and it started getting busier. Our waitress and the rear of the staff was so friendly. Almost like they knew us for years. Quite the opposite of the "other" chicken fried steak place across the highway. Don't forget to enjoy their homemade rolls with the butter. They also leave a bottle of honey on the table to drizzle over that roll. YummmmI chose the chicken livers, mashed potatoes and green beans. Our waitress even said if I didn't like them she'd bring me something else. That's amazing customer service but wasn't needed. They tasted scrumptious! The masked potatoes were good as well as the green beans.My wife decided on the chicken trips. Wow! Juicy and incredible crunch on the outside. I stole a piece of one but couldn't manage to get anymore chicken from her.If you are close this is the place to come AND not expensive either. Thurber has a lot of history so go find the plaque at the end he of the hill too.

We were traveling through Mingus on our way to Dallas and decided to stop in and try it out. Atmosphere: VERY roomy restaurant for such a small town. Place could definitely host a wedding or other large group. Big booths and diner style tables that can easily be moved around. 1 StarService: We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. Our waitress was prompt to our table and never left us wanting. Very cordial and helpful with the menu. The menu has quite a few items and they have some specials as well. 2 StarsFood: Everything we got was good. We started with some chips and salsa and some corn fritters. Chips and Salsa were fresh and quite good. The corn fritters were FANTASTIC! And there was more than we could possibly eat for just two of us. Would definitely be a shareable for a table of four. We were also given some homemade rolls with an amazing whipped butter. These were top-notch and went well with our side salads. For entrees I got the large chicken fried steak (mistake) and the wife got the lemon butter grilled shrimp. I say it was a mistake because it is platter sized. Could feed 3 normal people easily or two high school boys! I would say that it was average in flavor and the gravy could have used some more salt and pepper but it was still decent. The okra and the mashed potatoes however were top notch. Now on to the wife's shrimp. WOW!!! If you go here, and you decide you want something a little more filling than shrimp, then by all means order an extra meal of these to share at the table. These were smoky, lemony, charred perfectly, and simply amazing. I couldn't stop stealing them from my wife. Trust me when I say you would be missing the best item on the menu if you didn't get these. 1.5 StarsOverall: This is a great little stop off of I-20. Pass on all the people eating at Weatherford or Fort Worth and go ahead and treat yourself here. You will get good food and great service. 4.5 Stars

The food fills you up. The hot sauce is hawtttt and the people or more than friendly here. Was nice sitting porch side while seeing the humming birds and crushing a burger. In my pics you will see the "small" chicken fried steak. It is not small y'all haha as you can see. Good home grown salad and the burger comes with fries. I don't like steak fries so for the double burger I would give a B- for overcooked but that's my fault for not saying medium. I'm used to being asked how I want the burger. I'm a bubble guy so my service needs are really just wants. Great spot and good people. Burger is 16oz so would peace of meat.

love this place. I live 50 miles west of this place. I was traveling home from Fort Worth and called in a order from Weatherford, Texas. They were very busy and was smart to order 40Minutes before I arrived at restaurant. I arrived and got in line to pay and food came out while I was in line. Always get the Lg Chicken Fried Steak Fingers. They take a full chicken fried steak and cut into strips. No frozen pre-battered stuff here. Order came with about 9 steak strips. The ranged from about 6" to 10" in length. Comes with 2 sides, a side salad and rolls. So they ran out of Rolls on this trip. They were very very busy. People waiting in line to get in. I had mash potatoes and fried okra with my side salad and CFS fingers. Place never disappoints. Love this place.

What a pleasant detour. I've been on this hi-way many, many times but only stopped at the smokestack once. Restaurant was casual and inviting, the server was very nice and the food was both delicious and generously portioned. We have put out to friends that we are up for a road trip dinner, whenever possible. We'll Be Back to Thurber!-)

Excellent food. Sweet tea had an odd flavor in it. Like dirty water. Flies all over my table and window.
