Babes Chicken Dinner House, [where:104 North Oak, Roanoke, Texas 76262] was established in Roanoke, Texas in 1993. With their hodgepodge of dining furniture and kitschy southern décor, this old warehouse building exudes as much charm as their staff. A family-style dining experience where it’s always fun to make new friends at the long community tables. In Roanoke, you are welcome to bring your own alcoholic beverages to the restaurant and the patrons are known to have small tailgate parties in the parking lot while waiting for a table. It’s certainly a festive atmosphere, but completely appropriate to bring children or your grandparents visiting from out of town.

Babes popularity has demanded the expansion across the metroplex to some other area such as Dallas, Burleson and Garland to name a few. No matter where you are located, any drive to Babes is well worth the trip! The Roanoke location only offers Fried Chicken or Chicken Fried Steak but other locations such as the Garland Babe’s offers other options such as Smoked Chicken, Pot Roast and Fried Catfish. But don’t fret, they still offer all the classic “grandmotherly” sides in refillable servings such as creamy mashed potatoes, cream gravy and the decadent corn side that is a cross between kernel and creamed corn swimming in a pool of butter. Their perfect homemade biscuits also make a great dessert drenched in butter and honey - it’s southern cooking at it‘s finest.

Most locations also offer desserts and you’ll swear they stole your grandmother’s recipes. Freshly made Banana Pudding, meringue pies and cobblers are a happy ending to an outstanding meal. And when was the last time you had Pineapple Upside Down cake? An old fashioned favorite with baked-in memories!

Before you leave, pick up some of their Texas Brush Honey or even a Babe’s T-Shirt, although you won’t need a souvenir to remember this place! Check out their website to plan your next trip!
