Old Orange Cafe

Reviewed By AtascocitaTraveler

We had seen this restaurant on a TV program in Houston and had to try it out. Don't let the outside appearance of the old building keep you from missing out on some good sandwiches. Once inside it's obvious they have a a very good local clientele, numerous DPS and other police officers, several Coast Guard members, and also a thriving takeout business by the constant flow of bags to the front. Always a good sign. They did not disappoint. I had the spicy chicken sandwich, my wife a BLT. Just sandwiches you say, but darn good ones. Don't forget dessert! I think they are only open from 11 to 2 for lunch, by noon they were full, and diners were waiting for tables. Friendly atmosphere, good service, worth a try if in the area, the locals do.

The Hut

Family owned and operated. Serving authentic Texas style BBQ year round and Boiled Crawfish seasonally. Our small town is abuzz with talk about the fantastic food and genuine customer service. You will crave our ribs which are seasoned to perfection and melt in your mouth. Our brisket is smoked low and slow on our smoker for 14 hours. The result is smokey, moist and tender. Come give us a try. I promise you will leave happy!

Several colleagues recommended this BBQ. The drive through was very busy so we walked up to the takeout window (no seating available). The service was friendly and helpful. Much faster through the walk-up window than drive thru. This local gem is very busy but worth...MoreSo glad you enjoyed! Make sure you try our signature sandwich known as the Pit Master.... it's insanely good. Hope to see you again very soon.

Luigi's Italian Grill

Reviewed By mldurham4 - Orange, Texas

We eat weekly. My family loves Italian food and this restaurant is owned by a family from Italy! The atmosphere is very casual, authentic Italian food (their homemade pizzas are awesome) and family oriented. The owners visit with patrons while dining to make sure that their dinning experience is enjoyable. If you love a laid back atmosphere, good food and laughs, then I recommend this place highly.

Spanky's Bar & Grill

We passed it up as it is listed as a Bar & Grill. IT is more of a local restaurant with a bar and I would try to eat here while in Orange. The food was fine and they obviously have a following.

Roberts Steakhouse and Catering

Reviewed By billhX862BR - North Canton, Ohio

The place is not flamboyant, but if you want a good steak, potato, salad and excellent bread you will want to stop there. I can't say enough about the bread, it is fantastic. Staff is always friendly. I recommend Roberts for anyone traveling through Orange.

Options here are endless, you can make your own bowl from Rice, Noodles, and Contents! Love this concept of preparing your own meal and having it cooked to your specifications. They also have Sushi options and a full menu and bar selection. The staff is always kinds and welcoming, and very accommodating to your needs. The place is always well kept and clean as well. I highly recommend this to anyone.

La Cantina Mexican Grill

Reviewed By JMurray71 - Lake Charles, Louisiana

We took the short drive to Orange just for a change of pace. We were in the mood for Mexican and was hoping that La Cantina just across the state line into Texas would be a hit. Unfortunately it fell short. The fajitas was pretty boring. The salsa was warm, but still not spectacular. The flour tortillas were fresh but the that is the most stand out thing of our meal.

Peggy's on the Bayou

Reviewed By Ben R - Beaumont, Texas

We came here for lunch and the food was great. The parking lot and building are a bit dated but adequate. The restaurant has a good atmosphere but can only accommodate about 50 people. It is off the beaten path but worth the try. I would recommend and will return.
