The REAL SCOOP!This is not a one time experience. I have eaten at this place many many times even though are many other options of restaurants. The food is always very good. The sweet tea is very good. It is served in large cups so you don't constantly need a refill. At meal times the place can get very busy. But the wait is not too long. Most of the time I'm seated in less than five minutes . Sundays after church could take 30 minutes? A lot of people are getting it to go and the food is served very quickly so the seats are open quickly. This as a sign of a good restaurant with good food. You can get the meat and vegetables and there are several choices. Or you can order off their menu. The chicken fingers are very good. Hamburger steaks are very good. I haven't tried much more than that off the menu because I love everything from the meats and vegetables menu. You're in and out of this restaurant very quickly because the food is steaming when you get there. I've never had any issues with the staff if my server is caught up doing something I just ask another server going by and they're all glad to help each other. In fact, just talking about it, I think I'll go eat there today.

I ate here for the first time today and had the most delicious grilled chicken sandwich I think I've ever had. The service was quick and the meal was great I highly recommend

We dined in on February 23, 2024. It's a meat and 3 type I got baked chicken, Mac n cheese and okra. For dessert we tried the blackberry cobbler. (pass on that).

"Just the facts, ma'am." Simple country style cooking. And I do mean simple. However the food was tasty and seemed well prepared. Perhaps the supper menu is larger, but the lunch menu barely fills one page. The country fried steak was good, and on par for this part of the country, but being a Texan, there just isn't anything like a good, true chicken friend steak. It's kinda like TexMex food outside of Texas is usually horrible. I've never understood how/why the majority of the South and elsewhere refer to it as country fried steak or cutlets. When you hear that, you can guarantee it'll not be what you're hoping if your from Texas. But I keep looking!! Overall, Chinos is good, simple and reasonably priced. They need some sound abatement though, as the dining area is loud, just due to the acoustics.

My new favorite spot for meat and three. Fridays, I grab their catfish . Nice folks and reasonably priced.

Finally went tonight. Didn't realize they were a meat and three until recently. We have very few of those around here now. Here is my honest appraisal. scale 1 to 10 Mashed Potatoes and Gravy: 7.4 Very solid. Potatoes were a little lumpier than I would like but they had good flavor and the gravy was phenomenal. Fried Okra: 8.6 Very very good. Especially considering okra is out of season. Mexican Cornbread: 6.9 Could be a little moister, but it does pack some sneaking heat. Not unbearable but just right. It's tasty but I'd like it a little moister. Cole Slaw: 9.7 I am a big fan of cole slaw, but it is the one thing that most restaurants get terribly wrong. They don't. It is fantastic. I would go there and just order this if possible. It is so good. Country fried steak with onions and gravy: 8.2 Very solid. White gravy has a great flavor with just enough pepper, and the breading on the steak is very tasty. Overall 8.16. Verdict. Very satisfied. Will go back again. Great food for a great price. Some is a little salty, but that is to be expected from "soul food." You won't be disappointed here.
