Texas 1809

My wife and I decided date night would be a short drive to eat at Texas 1809. We had heard good things and we had seen good reviews. We went the weekend before Valentines and we were worried they might be very busy. We walked in and were seated immediately. We had a fantastic waitress. She was excellent and on the spot. We ordered the pretzel for an appetizer. It was great. We really enjoyed it. Note, it was big and we wished we had skipped it just because we were too stuffed after the appetizer and the entree. My wife ordered the Schnitzel and I had the chicken fried steak. The Schnitzel was excellent. The sides were good and my chicken fry was very good and it was not small either. The sweet tea was just like my Momma made at home too. We will be back. Great waitress, great food and it was well worth that short drive.

Love this place! Small town feel, great food, even better service & company! Drinks are fantastic. We have a great time every time we go. REALLY love the outdoor area for warmer weather. It’s nice to not have to force the kids to sit down when they want to play before or after we eat. Owners & family are awesome. We go every chance we get.

Absolutely great place to eat and have a drink or two! Everything I've ordered, whether it was food or a drink, was fantastic! The staff is very welcoming and it has such a relaxing environment!

Great place with tons of options on the menu!
Staff is amazing and friendly!

We are here at the beginning of our 2 week trip on our way out of Texas.

It was so good, we planned our last stop on the way home in the same town so we could eat here again.

Hands down the best burger I have ever had, the chocolate cake and banana pudding are amazing too!

Stopped in to get a to go order for myself and my grandparents. Chicken fried steak all around. Everything was wonderful and the staff was wonderful as well. Prices were great, and they even gave me a to go drink while waiting for things to get cooked up. Look forward to actually getting to come back and sit down to a meal there.

What a nice surprise in Slaton, Texas. Friendly staff, casual atmosphere and delicious food. We ordered chicken fried steak and grilled pork chops, served piping hot and scrumptious. Nice beer garden with live music on Saturdays. Will definitely make a trip back there

The best local restaurant I have ever been to. Food is delicious and never fails to excite, Staff are wonderful, and the live music is awesome! My favorite dish would have to be the fried catfish fillet with sidewinder fries & German potato salad with some Yuenglings, Texas mule and/or Texas water! Definitely recommend to check this place out for yourself, I am 100% sure you won't regret!

I have not been to this town since I left 1982
Loved reminiscing…
Hamburger steak big and taste good..brown gravy, onions, mushrooms
Other parties had the burger
Blackened catfish and red cabbage
GET THE PEACH COBBLER !!! Soooo delicious

Reviews weren't lying when they say these are the best burgers. We almost went to another local diner while stopping through slaton but saw they allow smoking inside and smells like it too (ew). Glad we went here instead because it's worth every penny. The food is great and so was the service. We know where we will be going when we need to come through again!

We discovered this place last year and it has been a favorite ever since. We drive in from Lubbock just for breakfast or lunch and walking around the square. Very friendly staff and delicious food. On our most recent trip, we had breakfast. We both had the West Texas omelette and it’s incredible! Their Texas Pecan coffee is also mouthwatering! We will keep coming back here again and again and again!

This place was phenomenal! I personally don’t live in Slaton, but making the ~20 mile commute from Lubbock is easily worth it for this food! They have daily specials and a lunch menu with good variety. I had the cheeseburger and it was among the best restaurant burgers I’ve had in a long time! On top of it all, the staff could not have been friendlier - they made us feel welcome and did a terrific job taking care of us.

Food is fantastic... chicken fry, fried catfish, jalapeño poppers are some of my favs. The banana pudding is to die for and they always have specialty drinks. It's family friendly and the patio in the summer is fun.

The Jager Schnitzel was excellent. The red cabbage and German potato salad were also very good. Service was fast and very friendly

Food was amazing! I had the Ribeye, it was cooked to perfection. My wife had the chicken fried steak and it was the best I've ever had! Can't wait to go back. Definitely worth the 30 min drive.

We loved our meals. The steaks were cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful.

Must get the pretzel! So far everything I have had on the menu is good. The German food is fantastic, and the chicken, bacon, swiss plate is crazy good. A friend got a steak and it was delicious as well. Wonderful little stop if you're looking for something to try. The full bar is a great addition.

A little noisy but what should you expect on a live music night? THE BEST chicken fried steak (I admit I ate steak fingers instead) I have had in a very long time. Super tender and tasty. Creamed corn NOT from a can, legit mashed potatoes, perfect crunchy toast.... I cannot praise the food here enough -- and the service matched!

Great food and amazing atmosphere! Love music on the patio every Saturday

Food was hot and enjoyable. Staff were very kind and had a smile all the time. Was asked if anything needed to continue food dish. Feel to join in any music request. Outdoor tables were there. It was so pleasing to be there. T.v.s was there to watch live sports. A bar is located here. All were respectful with each other.
