Yes, we do try a lot of different burger places, and even taco joints too. But Dallas really does have a wider variety of food choices .. and Saturday night brought us to Babe's Chicken Dinner House. When you are there you know you're in Texas. The waitstaff is friendly, the music is loud, the walls are filled with random treasures and the food just keeps on coming!
It's family style. And there is no menu.
They have four choices. Fried chicken dinner, fried catfish dinner, chicken fried steak and hickory smoked chicken. The sides come with whichever dinner you choose. Bill and I each chose the fried chicken dinner and Ellie chose the chicken leg kids' meal.
When the food arrived it was all the chicken we ordered on a platter with bowls of mashed potatoes, kernel corn, green beens cooked in ham hocks, pinto beans, green salad and biscuits. Wow! You can get refills on any sides. Just can't take them home with you. But you can take all your chicken with you.
As you can see from the picture above Ellie did a fine job on her chicken and veggies in order to be able to have the chocolate meringue pie for dessert! She's still trying to figure out why the top was crusty and hard - as meringue should be!
My favorite part was when several tables got up and did the hokey pokey in the aisles. The owner led the charge and kids from across the room ran over to be part of it. We waited 30 minutes for a table and when we left there was a line out the door and around the corner. Like Bill says,' it's a Yogi-place. Nobody comes here anymore, its too crowded!"
