I like Jalapeno Tree. It’s recently remodeled. It’s pretty spacious, and the food is great. I’d recommend their beef fajitas, or their catfish and shrimp dish they call Bo Diddley. That’s my favorite. And the margaritas are pretty good. Service is good and it’s always crowded. Parking is not a problem. Gun Barrel City.

This this place is a very relaxed, good and local place to eat. Hamburgers, pizza, and very good chicken fried chicken are the best around here. Plus they’ve got a pretty good bar too. The service is great and the waitresses cute. That’s another plus 🤗. It’s always crowded. Look for parking in the rear behind the restaurant. Mabank.

Well, this isn’t a pretty place, but it does make good catfish. Piping hot and good portions to. Service is usually pretty good. It’s almost always crowded. And sometimes it’s hard to find a place to park. But if you want catfish this is the spot. Closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Seven Points

Cool little shop in Gun Barrel. Takes me right back to the ‘60’s! Sells t-shirts and decor, jewelry and incense. And listen to some good classic rock while you shop. Nice staff too!! My granddaughters love this place! Gun Barrel City
