Holman Valley Steakhouse

My family and I came to the La Grange area from the DFW area for a weekend long birthday celebration. We chose Holman Valley's Steakhouse out of the pickings nearby due to their ratings, food style, and proximity to our place of stay. We didn't know what to expect as we've never been nor are we from around here, but Holman's surpassed every expectation plus some. When arriving we were able to tell they were busy, and I ran in quickly to ask whether or not there was a wait time and if so how long. When going in I saw how busy they truly were and assumed we wouldn't be seated right away. The hostess (Becky) was super helpful, kind, and made sure to find room for us in order to be sat down immediately. When we sat down our waitress greeted us quickly to ask for our drinks and (possible) appetizers. We got those, and she then asked if we were ready to order (we were) and did. During the wait time of our food, our waitress made sure to check on us every few minutes for our needs and even went above by providing help with our toddler whom was fussy. Our food was ABSOLUTELY amazing and in fact one of the best meals we've had in awhile. On top of that, they had a special going on for $19.95 that came with a sirloin, two sides, and your choice of soup or salad. They had a decent amount of options on the menu and everything seen on their website was accurate (prices, times, location, etc.)The environment was full of the sweetest people between staff and other customers which provide comfort as we're away from our normal. In fact a cook came out to chit chat with customers and ask how everything was. There was not a single complaint from myself or any of my loved ones. We're excited to eat our leftovers. I highly suggest stopping by Holman Valley's Steakhouse if you can.

Anyone who has a bad review for this place has issues unrelated to Holman Valley Steak House. This restaurant is excellence personified. Delicious food, good people, charming environment. That's all there is to say

Drove from San Antonio to try this place, we were told it is great. Good food, Great Steaks. So we got there at 730 pm, table for 6, ordered Porterhouse steaks. We were told they only had one left. Then we asked for bone in ribeye, we were told they had none. So we ordered Salmon, grilled Chicken, no bone ribeye steaks, most sides were not available, we got our food @ 845 pm. Pretty long wait. The food needed seasoning, thank goodness for salt and pepper table shakers. No Flavor. The service, don't know for sure what to think. She seemed sweet, without knowledge of service. We waited long for tea refills, we ordered fried mushrooms for appetizers along with cabbage and sausage balls, well once we received them, how do we eat them, missing appetizer plates, forgot the ranch dressing, and continued waiting for tea refills. Once we got our tasteless meal, we were pushed to check our steaks for perfection, why, if they weren't, they wouldn't replace them, they ran out. The within 5 minutes to 9, were being rushed to eat, they closed at 9, imagine that. On one meal, the sides were counted, one meal included brocolli, got 4 lil pieces, we asked if that was all the brocoli the plate would get, the server stayed we will get you a side, took a while and we got a side of brocoli, why not include it on the plate. Did I mentioned, we asked for one more appetizer, fried chicken bacon, yeap, they are out. Remember it was 730 pm. Towards the end we FINALLY got tea refills, we asked for lemons 5 times but only managed to get 2 sets of lemons, 4 lil pieces included for a table of 6. Very Disappointed, we've gone to many STEAKHOUSE around Texas and The World, this one NO BUENO. BLESS HER , KORA, our server she tried, but not strong enough.

We drove there on Sunday after church and they were not open . They need to update their hours.

Saturday night! This place was wonderful as always. Sorry, no picture, it was all too good. One in our party had the filet, another had the pork chop, another had the sm ribeye, one had the chicken fried chicken and I had the Holman Valley chicken. Nothing was left on the plates . Our appetizer of bottle caps & sauerkraut balls were gobbled up as well. You won't go wrong coming here. Proportion sizes are perfect for the price. Everything perfecting cooked as well. Our server was Destiny, she did a fine job.

Visiting from Wisconsin, and friends took us here for dinner and music! Food and service and prices were all GREAT!!! Just outside Lagrange....

First of all let me say WOW now THIS is Texas home-style cooking at it's best!!! I hadn't been to Holman's since I was very young but after hearing there was some changes in ownership we decided to try it again (it always seemed a bit dirty so we didn't go for awhile). Clearly there were changes and refurbishment in the decor that made it look sooo cute, clean and classy while keeping the antique charm of the building! The food was absolutely delicious just as I had remembered and the fried bacon CANNOT be passed up!!! One of the best thing I've ever eaten! For my meal I ordered grilled shrimp with broccoli and instead I got fried shrimp with green beans... totally different order but the staff was super nice and accommodating to fix the error! I felt bad throwing away perfectly good shrimp so I ate it anyways, and YUM! What a happy accident!!! The fried shrimp was some of the best I've ever had! I only take off one star because in the heat of a Texas summer, it was very warm in there because the building is so old, and the service was a bit slow and also made my order wrong. But the staff was super nice and apologetic and I can't wait to come back!!!

The food was delicious but the stuff they clean the tables with smells pretty bad. Some kind of lemon bleach. Still, everything at our table looked great. My ribeye was cooked just right. The folks working were very nice and gave very good service. I just wish they would get a little less industrial cleaner!!

I love this old building. When the dancehall has free bands, it's the best place around to go dancing. Young and old alike have a great time. I've been to several of their special dinners, like NYE and Valentine's Day. I won't be going again for the special occasion dinners. I'm always still hungry afterwards. The serving sizes are tiny. The filet was absolutely delicious, though small. Potatoes were hard. I'd forgive the small filet if I could fill up on the sides, but you get tiny portions on the sides, too. You also get a small salad and one cold roll. No butter for the roll or lemons for tea without asking. No salt and pepper on table. The crème brûlée was disappointing. The best part about crème brûlée is the caramelized sugar on top. Theirs was just a cup of custard. Their buttermilk pie is to die for. Delicious! Unfortunately, on their special dinners you don't get that choice. Servers are sweet but clearly not professionals. They take forever to get any needs you might request, such as butter, tartar sauce, lemon, whatever. They seem rather scattered and disorganized. This is all fine if you know this going in - but at these prices, I expect either great service or great food. At least one or the other. Preferably both. Regular meal nights are pretty good. I've only had steak once time. I think maybe I just had a bad experience on that one night because the filet I had on one of the special dinners was fantastic, and everybody else seems to think their daily steaks are great. The steak I got had zero seasoning. It was also a bit tough. I'm going to give their steak another try. I think I just got an off night. The squash casserole is yummy. Dinner salad is on the small side but good. So, all in all, I really do like this steakhouse. I just would avoid the special dinners at the holidays. They try real hard to make it fancy, but fall short. It's no Round Top Cafe. If you know that going in, then go for it.

Delicious steak, side dishes of grilled asparagus, and squash casserole and peach cobbler a la mode! Highly recommend this steakhouse. The prices have gone up from the menu pictured, but still a very good price for the quality! Also, a large selection of wine!
