The food was not nearly as good as it used to be when Mike Hamilton was running it. Also, we had a bad server the last time we went. Probably won't go again. I heard it was closing.

From the country style atmosphere to the down home cooking, Tuffy's has always been a family favorite. Especially adored are the warm rolls and homemade desserts.

I had several issues with our latest experience.... Half of the side orders from the menu we tried to order were "out"....our waiter was less than pleasant....the food was mediocre...the worst part was that there is now a charge for the famous Tuffy's rolls, although worth the cost, seriously? Charging for bread? Won't be making the trip back to mauriceville... More

I've lived in Orange for 28 years and I have seen Tuffy's go through all of its changes. The place was pretty good when Hamilton ran it but the new owners have done a terrible job (and they claim to be gourmet...about as gourmet as McDonald's). I've given them three tries in the last 45 days, all terrible. Not just... More

This was a first for us visiting the Gulf Coast, and we wanted a more authentic restaurant than the chains surrounding Beaumont. It's an easy drive from the I-10. The highlights include: delicious real yeast rolls, which they then use to make incredible croutons that go on the tasty, fresh Romaine salad (one is enough to share); great homemade Ranch... More

It has been years since we made the trip to Tuffy's and we had heard that the new owners had really done a good job of bringing it back to life. We were impressed with the selection of food; I had the crab cakes while my husband had the chicken fried steak. Both were huge and too much for us... More

Thank you for saving and reviving a longtime favorite restaurant. New owners have CLEANED, re-trained and improved Tuffy's Restaurant in Mauriceville. The favorite Tuffy's rolls are still as moth-watering as ever and the new menu is great. We enjoyed the catfish and stuffed shrimp. Both...out of this world! Great staff that made our evening pleasant!

The New Owners have made so many wonderful improvements. The restaurant looks spotless and the food was so wonderful. Our service was very good. Both of the new owners came out of the kitchen for a moment to check on people. I have eaten the Crab Cake, Chicken Tenders, and Rib Eye and they were all excellent. Can't wait to... More

Excellent food, great service. Desserts, yummy. They have an excellent variety in food from Chicken fried steak to spicy crawfish. Love the fried catfish dinners.

The meal started with a cup of rely good shrimp gumbo. The chicken fried steak was very good and the sides of fried okra and green beans were both tops. But the best part of the meal was the lemon meringue pie which was as good as you can find anywhere. My dining companions enjoyed fried crawfish tails and fried... More
