The Tree has recently moved into Woodville from its original location (Hillister, TX). Several years ago the restaurant was outstanding. Just prior to the move and currently the food is not good at all. For lunch I ordered the 12oz ribeye cooked medium-rare with a side of green beans and a baked potato. When the meal arrived I had french fries instead of a baked potato (baked potatos are not served for lunch) and corn instead of green beans. Okay, I can live with this. Not preferred, but I can deal. When I cut into my steak it was extremely rare. The sear on the steak was only about 1/16" thick w/ a cool CRIMSON center. I'm pretty sure I heard it "Moo" on the way out. After stomaching the raw steak and eating around all of the fat (~30%) I decided that I'd not return. It was truly a waste of $20 dollars. ...read more

It's with sadness that I say we won't be back. ...read more

If you like fried chicken, like grandma used to make, this is the place to visit. All you can eat, home style, good food. Save room for dessert, and try the ice cold buttermilk. After you eat, tour Heritage Village to work off some of those calories. If you're too full to walk, stroll around the porch and read the plaques left by people from all over. Lots of fun. ...read more

Many people think that an enchilada in a restaurant is much better than anything they can ever find at home, unless they know a lot of Hispanic people. This is because a restaurant has a special way of making enchiladas that is not only delicious, but doesn't fall apart like some people find when they... ...read more
