Southern Junction

I love taking friends and family visiting from out of state to Southern Junction for a fun Texas experience!

It's always a fun night through and through. We like going for dinner, drinks, and dancing... But there's also Titan the mechanical bull for $5 if you want that added fun.

The steak dinner is awesome, especially if you go Wednesday for 2-4-1 steak night (or for the early bird special on Friday). You pick out the cut of meat you want, season it how you like, and then you can grill it yourself or pay a little extra to have them grill it for you. It's a lot of fun to get around the big grilling stations and do it yourself. The dinner also comes with Texas toast, loaded baked potatoes, and a salad. Plenty of food.

All the bands that they've had when we've been there have been great. We've never been disappointed. They also do a good job of mixing it in with a DJ who plays some "fun" (non-country) songs. People tend to two step and line dance, but my friends and I like to get out there and country swing dance (however, they won't let you do aerials there).

Note: Be sure to call ahead and make reservations AND check to make sure there is not a concert that night because that will change pricing.

I see there have been a lot of negative reviews about the customer service... We haven't had any problems when we go, but I would say that we tend to be pretty patient when we go just because we are usually there with big groups and expect to have to wait a little bit.

On Wednesdays they have 2-for-1 steak (or chicken) dinners.  Their meat is ALWAYS excellent and on the two for one night, the bargain is huge!   I always get the shish-ka-bobs and they are amazing!  My husband is a huge steak fan and thinks these steaks are some of the best around.  We enjoy cooking them ourselves and adding all the flavorings.   Including the salad, baked potato, and texas toast --it's a huge meal and at a value price!   I would give this place FIVE stars if they were NON SMOKING!    The smoking when it is crowded ruins it all.    They need an outdoor patio for smokers.  Then it would be FIVE stars all the way!

We used to go here a lot years ago and really enjoyed it. The food and music is good. Getting in the place is awkward. You  have to go up to a ticket window and sign for a membership, which is free, and you are then asked if you are going to purchase a steak dinner. You have an option of having a burger or other food from a snack bar.
My wife and me had the steak dinner, good steak, good price. We had an appetizer which was okay, she had two drinks, I had three beers. Our bill was $65.50 including the gratuity. A couple of days later I checked the recent transactions for my mastercard online and find I was billed for $90.90! I immediately called mastercard and am protesting the charge. I have my receipt and there is no way I signed anything for 90 bucks!
Needless to say, i will not be going back to a place that is going to rip me off!
