I actually enjoy Nac's food scene a lot more than Lufkin's. Macklemore's is my favorite. Napoli's also very good. Lufkin doesn't have any Mexican places touching Ranchero. 

We ate at Macklemore's on Taco Tuesday .... I had 3 fajita tacos 🌮 and my wife had 2 chicken 🐔 tacos 🌮  .... plus 2 drinks ..... all for under $13 .... where else you gonna eat that cheap for two people? .... great tacos 🌮!!!!

Over rated ....

The Super Deluxe (hot link and brisket on jalepeno roll) is legit.   Nothing else stands out.    Great atmosphere when they have live music. 
Best bbq in that area is Sunbird bbq in Longview but they sell out early the few days a week they are open. 
Ruby’s tacos in Tyler. Opening one in Longview probably by football season. 
Swing by for a chili dog at Hot Dog Express in Longview. 
Jucy’s is still the best burger. 
mid youre in Lindale, Briskey Love is an up and comer in the BBQ game. 
In Athens a soon to be Texas BBQ top destination is Smoky B BBQ. Fantastic. Also, the Twisted Root Burger Co. there.

Ocha's in Athens for Mexican food. If you want fish in Athens the Catfish corner. Malakoff just opened up a steak house, I haven't been yet but heard good things. Thr only thing I miss in Malakoff if Ocha's. They got bought out the the new owners that took over, it hasn't been the same.

Longview has lots of options....my favs?

Juicy's (Hwy 80 is best location IMO)

Bodacious (Mobberly or 5th street....not a fan of the one on the Loop)

For TexMex, my top 3:   Sombrero, T'Blanco's and Papacitas. 

All else fails, there's tons of eateries around the HS and Lobo Stadium. Chuy's, Bubbas, Roadhouse, Chilis, BJs...tons of options.

If I'm in Tyler, 95% of the time I am definitely hitting up Stanley's. Best BBQ in ETX IMO. Mercados would probably be 2nd, FDs 3rd. Cant go wrong with Juicy's (Old Jax and 5th street are the two best IMO). Bruno's on Old Jax for the pizza/Italian fans.

Lufkin....I really only love Ray's. Skyline's is also pretty good if you like Chipotle style food. I keep hearing Chen's is good but ive never been there. Cafe Del Rio use to be cool but I had bad experiences the last two times I went. 

 

 

 

Pizza King in Lv is very good 👍🏻  ...

Yep. 

At its peak back in the 2000s, I wouldn't get pizza from anywhere else.

Talking about that Zaap Thai place? Also the Yard Bird I heard was good but never been there..You?

Think the Yard Bird closed.

Zaap Thai is pretty good.

Working in Waskom Jim's is the standard, but a little pricey.  Zaap Thai and the Taco truck are also really good.

Catfish Village is terrible since Covid.

Nothing else of note...

Zaap is one of the best Asian food places in all of East Texas. Never got anything that wasn’t good.

Stop by in Athens, Gun Barrel City, or Mabank heading to Malakoff. We got some fast food. The Mexican place that was good here was sold and imo had gone down hill since.

I've been to many of those establishments....... 😂

Marshall:

Jucy’s

Cajun Tex

Porkeys

That is my Marshall list .

Can’t argue with the first 2, but porky’s is probably the worst bbq I’ve ever had.
