This place is a dive, like an old diner.. It's been here for 75 years and kinda looks like it. BUT the hamburger with fries and the fried fish with coleslaw and fries were great!! What the restaurant does not have in style, makes up for with food. Generous amount of food 😋 And the cost was very fair, better than most places.

We were in mood for basic Texas food for dinner. We accidentally ran across Beef House American Food. It's only about 15 minutes from our house, but in a direction we don't normally go. The chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans were what any good Texas diner would have been serving for the last 50 years. The special for the night on Sunday was the pot roast. The serving was large, the pot roast was tender, and the vegetables were good. The rolls were excellent--warm and yeasty. Certainly nothing fancy, but very good for the type of food it is. The only improvement on the food front would have been to have real butter instead of spread. The physical environment was comfortable as a diner, but a little bit dim. An update from florescent to modern LED lighting that was warmer and brighter would be an improvement. The staff were attentive and prompt. The restaurant is tucked away in the far corner of a shopping center building, and it was a bit difficult to find. Don't be put off by the outside appearance. When you want a break from fancy and expensive, I recommend you give it a try. We'll be back.

Food was great. What’s not to love with a bacon cheese burger and a great Cobb salad- both excellent. Service was fast and friendly. Lots of pool playing. 4 on atmosphere because of the smoke. I stink but the belly’s so happy. Forgot to take photos but imagine a hole in the wall bar with 20 or so pool tables. Diverse friendly crowd.

Came from northern Iowa for work training and wanted to try a mom and pop shop for lunch. Did not disappoint! Amazing food and wonderful people! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into this place and the welcoming atmosphere!

Love the food, a bit too greasy for me and great pricing say come on down and try it. I had Albert special. That was pretty good. 😊

I love this place! I have been going here since I was 4 years old. They have the best chicken fried steak, the chef salad is amazing, the french fries are awesome and their breakfast is delicious. Pretty much anything you order is good. They also have some good chips and salsa.

A classic slice of Americana at Garland, Texas's original Tex Mex diner. The Beef House - don't think it was ever a steakhouse - serves huge, tasty portions of pancakes and eggs, biscuits and gravy, blue plate specials and more. We ate breakfast and the waiter knew every customer by name and coffee preference (light? sweet?) A big platter of eggs, home fries, biscuits with a bowl of snowy white and salty gravy, plus crisp bacon filled me up for the whole day. Hubby got similar with a huge waffle and sausage patties. Lots of syrup and a butter mound in the middle. Friends Kelly and Mark went for sampler of stuffed jalapenos, onion rings, flautas and other Tex Mex nibbles .. Acceptable coffee and tea bags. Cute blue leather booths, faded country wallpaper and the best neon sign ever. A must-do at least one meal.

This place is excellent, I have not been here in 20+ years I still recommended everybody to try in when their in the area or bowling down the street. The owner is awesome and he is extremely nice. Today I just did breakfast 3 eggs, Sausage and hash browns with toast have. They offer a daily lunch special and dinner special through the week which are also excellent Actually I haven't had one thing here that I do not love. Oh by the way the pancakes are huge and they're really good. I was a late night customer in the past.
