Nolan's Chicken Fried Steak is the best. Mashed potatoes were just like Grandma makes -- and she makes the best. Service was amazing. My plate was served up fresh and hot. Will definitely be back to Nolan's.
Pamela Hall
Always good food. Chicken fried steak is a favorite but everything is delicious. Service is friendly and quick. Clean place. Family oriented. Groups could meet here. Great for “after the game” gatherings
Sandrina Garza
Very clean and neat place. The employees were fantastic, friendly, and fun! The cooks were singing Christmas jingles while they were working which was nice to see. The carrot cake was AMAZING. I ordered the chicken fried steak, fried okra, and mashed potatoes. All delicious! 10/10 recommend!
Daniel Gonzales
Very Disappointed with the recent experience my family had their. The Manager is a RACIST and does not like hispanic people. This place used to be great. Good job Nolans. Very good job. It is 2025 and sadly racism is still a thing here.
Sandy Bloom
We were not prepared for the set up for ordering. The Google site did not mention that it was a counter order type of restaurant. It was also very loud. The mashed potatoes were cold, watery and tasted like instant. Very disappointed about that since the other food we ordered was of a much higher caliber. The fried catfish was excellent, as was the chopped steak. We will probably eat here again.

The food is wonderful and super delicious the place is clean be careful when taking your order obviously we told them that we were going to be eating in. not eating out and they put our order as if we were taken it to go that was the only mistake we had
Hugh Miller
A very good family dining restaurant. They have a wide variety of menu items. Their sandwiches are great. It can get crowded but it's easy to get in. Order at the counter and they bring your food to the table. I had the brisket sandwich, which was delicious. Sharon enjoyed her shrimp poboy. If you're looking for good food at a very reasonable price in Calallen check Nolan's out.
Striped Beard
Well service after meal is delivered is non existent. “Crab” Stuffed jalapeños are provided by “sisco foods” probably, have generic restaurant taste. Not spicy at all, no distinct flavors. Also no trace of crab present. Chicken fried steak was very small step above Cracker Barrel in taste and appearance. Breading was a lot thicker than I want or suggest. All food was still edible but will not put on list of “let’s go eat ….”
