Richies Grill

It's packed for lunch. The chicken fried steak is HUGE. The enchiladas are good. It's an average diner type place.

I've eaten at Richies a number of times.The food was good and properly prepared. Generous portions to the point that several times I have not been able to eat it all. The wait staff is courteous and professional. I have ordered both Tex-Mex and American fare here, and I have enjoyed it.

Formally known as Petty's to the locals. I was passing through, and the options in Hawkins to eat are very slim. Took a chance on Richies. They have two menus: Tex Mex and roadside cafe fare. I'm very sorry I did. The mexican food was downright horrible.  I was not able to finish my meal (brisket tacos). My old man had their "special" chicken friend steak. I thought it was impossible to mess that item up, but I was wrong. Hiding somewhere underneath the massive amounts of gravey-goo was the frozen steak.
Fellow Yelpers, if you find yourself hungry in Hawkins TX, keep on driving.
