Hermann Sons Steak House - Hondo

This was my first visit to Hermann Sons Steak House. I had driven past it many times over the years and always wondered about it. My friends treated me to a birthday dinner near their home and I finally got to try this place. I decided to go with the steak and enchilada plate, since I was curious about enchiladas at a steak place that clearly wasn't a Mexican restaurant. The steak was good, properly cooked, as was my friends, with a nice pink center, charred on the outside, juicy, and cooked perfect like a medium rare steak should be. We both commented that the cook actually did this right, where many places don't. The enchilada was so-so, the meat/chili sauce on it was strong with bland chili powder, the meat was lean and a little dry. I probably wouldn't go with enchiladas again, but the steak made up for it. Our sides changed last minute when we noticed the roasted cream corn, both my friend and I decided to get this as a side and it wasnt disappointing. It had good flavor and was unique, the most similar thing Ive had is a Korean baked corn, and this was a cross between Mexican corn in a cup, and Korean baked corn. We purchased a sampler of fried mushrooms, onion rings, and zucchini, all of which were really good. The small order of these was enough to feed 3 people with a few pieces left over. The portion size on this was huge, and Id hate to see the large order. Prices were fair, service was pretty good, we were there close to closing and after a large rush had just come thru. Overall the food was good, and I would consider visiting again to try a few more items.

Love coming here. Have been coming here for 11 years and the food is better than it 's EVER been. (Except the fries, they are soggy I miss the crispy fries please bring them back!! . They have a new cook and this person knows what they are doing!! Saturday night was pretty packed so we try and go earlier in the day otherwise there is a wait. There was live music Sat night in my opinion the speakers were way too loud. But yeah the BEST food in the area!! Great drinks too!! Note please stop using Windex to disenfect the tables and get a proper disinfectant!! Windex does not do the job!

Last night, since I heard of the return of the salatbar. I was a little disappointed because they don't have an egg for the salate that is my favorite. I also had a chicken fried steak with tweebel rings, which was good. I went to lunch today in the hope that there was a salat. Today there was a rush! I had the fried catfish with mash with brown dig. service was good. I had to wait for the host so I could sit down. it seems as if the host has too many work places besides sitting places, which could be somewhat frustrating for customers. over all beautiful places to lunch.

I didn't expect to find such a great restaurant out in the middle of nowhere, Texas. It seemed like the bar area was a little bit more modern than the rest of the restaurant. I wish the weather had been warmer because the outside area looked very inviting. The food was excellent albeit a little pricey. We had a brand new waitress but she was still incredible. If I'm ever in this area again I will stop here for a steak dinner.

This is an icon of Hondo Texas. Place has been around since before I was born. Always delicious and packed every weekend. Specials every day. Drinks are cheap . The food taste like what you expect from a good steak house. Indoor and outdoor dining. It's country as home is. People are friendly and service is amazing . I wish I lived closer so I could make it a weekend thing.
