DeeLeon’s Fine Dining in Texas

"Great little place! Food came out timely and was good and hot. Staff are very friendly. The restaurant is cute and homey."

"Dee Leons is under NEW ownership. ( Dee would not had sold the resturant to Just Anyone...The new owner would need to show pride in craftsman ship.... a continuation of a Legacy.) The menu and food is slightly different but, still basically the same WITH Specials (Lunch & Supper) and a variety of options. The new menu is BOTH flavorful and nutritious, from Honey Pecan Chicken Fried to Fresh Green Garden Salads. With out the local farmed vegetables, chain restaurants would engulf society. To have local cafés and not chain foods who are trying to balance quality and clear a profitable living, to stay in buisness takes more buisness minded ingenuity than "a good cook". It's better to have our quality local cafes than None at all.... at least the new owner tries and cares. Most people today, do not try to have any thing for them self and family to build on. Mallory (the new owner) has put her best foot forward in working hard to learn even more of what it takes to operate a restaurant. Her and her family are working hard, give them a chance! **** This quality of food meets the high expectations of our local critic, Mr. Stanley. As well as mine **** Only a narrow minded individual would expect the benchmark met from the Dee Leons Hallmark ideals. - RICK NELSON: GARDEN PARTY- 1972 "You see, you can't please everyone.""

"Little country place, fabulous onion rings. The fried chicken was moist and tender. Chicken fried steak fork tender with real whipped potatoes. Fried peach pie is to die for."

"The best pies! Such A wonderful place. Very warm family atmosphere. Will have to go back for lunch or dinner. The menu looked great"

"Great food. Friendly atmosphere! Try the steak finger basket with fries. They are homemade and fabulous! Rolls and cornbread are out of this world!"

"We got the daily special. The cornbread and okra&tomatoes were the most amazing but everything else was super delicious! We will never drive through Wells again without stopping here to eat! I heard they make homemade fried pies every Friday and they sell out quick. So if you are nearby on a Friday, go get some."

"My wife and I have eaten here a few times now and we really enjoy the food. Just like home cooked meals! A very nice place with very friendly staff! The homemade pies are awesome as well as the cookies and jams. We will be back!"

"We live near Galveston and don’t get up to E. TX much anymore but all of my roots are there. We were staying in Nacogdoches for the weekend and ran over to Dee Leon’s for the 1st time. It was just exactly what deep East Texas cooking should be. Fried catfish is a big deal in our family. We are very particular to how it’s sourced, prepared, breaded and fried. Dee’s friend catfish was perfect! They served us free strawberry shortcake dessert for Valentine’s weekend. The staff were nice and sweet, and there was Christian country music playing on the radio. Great food and great hometown atmosphere! We will be back."
