Moore’s Store

Good people friendly service nice home cooking! We showed up on our bikes and were welcomed! Love it and will be back!

Rude. I arrived at 8 to eat only to be told the kitchen was closing. I pointed out that the sign said 9pm. The cashier repeated that it was closed. I asked for a manager and glared at me and said «No, you can chips or a drink.» I won’t be back. It’s too far to drive, not knowing of they are open, and dealing with rude people.

Best to go on Monday Tuesday or Wednesday and then you don’t pay cover charge. I especially LOVE their chicken fried steak !!

Food was not very good, and they messed up my order even after I had the girl check it. (With me watching her). And it was super slow.

Since ownership changed, food quality and service have gone wayyyyy down. Was one of my favorite places, not so much anymore. DON’T get the onion rings unless you like a soggy greasy mess on your plate. just a warning.

A year after my other review…
Pin for business is 7 miles off… the other Moores Store on Unilocal is actually accurate.
This is the worst discrepency for address/​location I’ve seen on Unilocal.Hopefully the moderators make this change.
No buffet any more. :-(
Service is slow… don’t come if you’re in a rush
Order was pretty messed up… seems like they are disorganized with no processes etc.
The little one loved her burger, even though it wasn’t cooked the way we ordered.
The homemade potato chips were cold, and getting a bit soggy. Last year this place was a mist stp… hence the reason we’re here again. This time… not so much. Not sure if we’ll be back. It was 1 – 2 stars except for the burger.
Also, the bartender seemed really fed up with the waitress (es) and was a little pissy.

Best food in town, even though there is only one other place. This place is super clean and reasonably priced. The food is always good and the staff is genuine. The service is always fast and exactly what I ordered. The burgers are great. Drinks are pretty pricey for what feels like a big cafeteria but that’s the «atmosphere». They cook their own chips so get them instead of fries.

Love the new hours and new menu. So much more to pick from and everything has been great. Best restaurant in the area! (We are a family of 9 that goes out to eat 5 – 6 days a week.)

My husband and I live only 15 minutes from Benwheeler and have never been to moores before, so we planned a date night and headed out. When we got there we were pleasantly greeted at the door and offered a seat and a drink. The band was great and we danced a few songs until we got hungry… when we asked for a menu they told us they were only making sandwiches because the kitchen was closed at 10:00 pm it was 9:14! Very disappointing, especially since we were so hungry! We were offered to go next door and get food but we would have to pay another cover charge at that door. I give 3 stars because the band was a blast, other than that I probably won’t be back.

You could spend an entire weekend in Ben Wheeler with Moore Store and The Forge with great food, drink and music. However, you can’t because there is no motel. What a pity.

We stopped by to check out Moore’s at my mother’s insistence while we were in Texas last week. I’m glad we did. The atmosphere was casual and fun, the staff was friendly, and we liked the food. I had the catfish, and my husband had the hamburger. The portion sizes were a little smaller than what we would have liked, but everything was fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back whenever we are in Texas again.

The band was great! The food was bland and the people are rude. Will never go again.

Brooks is the best thing to ever happen to Ben Wheeler! Moore’s Store has a long history but today it is a lot of fun and the food is great! Ben Wheeler is a great place to stay, shop and eat for those weekend getaways from the city. You MUST check it out!

We’ve been twice now for live music (8 – 11), so perfect for older folks who don’t want to stay up until all hours. Yeah, its a haul out there for most, but if you live in East Texas, and want to see something other than country music, its a good option to see Dallas bands without a two hour drive. Kinda awkward setup… plan on sharing a table with 27 other people and perhaps not sitting with the one that bring ya. Icing in the cake, a fried bologna sandwich special with homemade potato chips and a self serve condiment bar with jalapenos and pico!

The Good News in Ben Wheeler, Texas? This place is freaking cool, as it is loaded with the things we Unilocaler love; food, drinks, AND live music. In the back woods of East Texas. Are. you. kidding. me?
The Bad News; IT IS NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE to where WE live. :u (
We spent an afternoon in Ben Wheeler, culminated by getting to eat and hang out at the Moore’s Country Store. This place is ½ Gruene Hall, and ½ Grist Mill (apologies to my N. and E. Texas friends for the CenTex references, as I know how you HATE those).
How cool is this place? V.F.C. Why? Well Vincent, allow me to retort;
Terrific burgers. The Oh-​So Blue burger = Hand-​pressed patty w/​homemade blue cheese, Applewood smoked bacon, and homemade chips.
O-​rings are large, lightly battered and are filling,
Sweet Tea, Beer and wine,
Fireman’s 4 for $ 2.50 at HH,
$ 5 live music nights,
dance floor,
a family-​friendly, smoke-​free venue,
They just added a ribeye to the menu,
My sister fed 4 adults and 2 kids for $ 54!
There were downright decent-​looking folks (they has all their teefs (e.g. no banjo music… if I can bury a reference within a reference)) from all over East Texas coming into this joint. Many were a bit more dressed up than folks in Central Texas would be — which was cool — as it was great people watching.
Next time I am in the area, we are SO heading back here for some music & beers.

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon… food was great, the place is a winner, and the stores around Moor’s are great. Well worth the drive from Tyler down skunk highway (known for that by the number of dead skunks found on the way). Entertainment at night… closed Sun, Mon… worth the trip.
