Neat and clean establishment. I didn’t use the restrooms, but the food is definitely the highlight here. I ordered a single cheeseburger with fries, and my companion went for the double hamburger with fries. The burgers were huge, hot, juicy, and packed with flavor. The grilled bun was of excellent quality, holding up well without falling apart or becoming soggy. The patties were large and well-assembled. The fries were crinkle-cut, crispy, perfectly fried, and light without being greasy. I tried the coconut cream pie, and it had a rich, satisfying flavor. For drinks, they offer Pepsi products, which worked out perfectly since I enjoy Dew and my companion prefers Pepsi. The waitress was friendly and efficient, and although there was a large group that arrived, she handled it well. There's additional dining space around the corner. The atmosphere was inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. I would definitely return to Big Jake's Western Dive again and might try the chicken fried steak or come by when they’re grilling steaks.

We were passing through and stopped by. The best restaurant chicken fried steak I've ever had. I have never had chicken fried steak that tasted like it came out of my mama's kitchen before. My daughter had a chicken burger. The bun was amazing and so fresh. It tasted homemade. My husband had the peach Chipotle pork chop over a bead of dirty rice. He loved every bite. The services was great as well.

We had the opportunity to visit for the first time this evening. The filet was amazing, such flavor and tenderness. Their potatoes are what we in the south call "comfort food. Everything was so fresh. I had a dinner salad and the lettuce, tomatoes were super fresh, the dressing homemade and delicious.

I have not been here yet. However, someone I follow on YouTube went. The onion rings looked amazing! I told my 12 year old grandson (we are on a mission to find the best onion rings in Texas) we have to go. Looking forward to trying them out.

Great spot in middle of -Moscow Texas! Wonderful service and menu is fairly reasonably priced! The special tonight was chicken fried venison with mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy for $24.95. They have several pies to choose from:buttermilk pie, chocolate, buttermilk, snickerdoodle, coconut, meringue, fried peach with ice cream and Jacob’s rancher pie.!!!

Best filet I've ever had, and I mean ever. Service was great, prices were reasonable. The look from the outside doesn't portray quality of the food inside.
