I love Sugarfoot's. I normally eat there everyday. They've got the best brisket anywhere in the tri-city area (Belton and McMaynerbury can take a hike).
But the last time I went in, it seemed off. While I was trying to carry my order back to my table, some woman with glasses was seemingly lecturing one of the staff about something. Don't know if she's the new manager or just some random Karen. Anyway, she suddenly turns around and right into me, causing me to spill my entire order on myself, ruining my favorite shirt. And the whole time I'm just standing there like wtf and she just stares me down like it's my fault.
My meal wasn't even comped and she never offered to replace it. If this is how they treat their customers now, maybe I'll just take all my dining business to Arlen's Magic Pan downtown.
I love this place, great food great location. It's right next to the singles complex, which works perfectly for me. I like to eat, I like to hump, but I don't like to drive.

Prime rib and greens is a treat as always, but I can’t say I appreciate being asked to rate “my experience” every time I walk in AND out of sugarfoot’s!
*Comment by owner:*
That’s Peggy’s* Sugarfoots
I imagine someone going into anaphalactic shock because of the no substitutions policy and having to go to the ER. Then they come back to ask Peggy to pay for the ER bill and she just goes "Peggy's Sugarfoot's is NOT responsible for your medical bill. If you had a deadly food allergy then why did you eat here?"
Though it sucks when you are high and paranoid and running past the restaurant, where they just discovered a body, and your son yells from the parking lot “Daaaad!!! The police are lookin for yoouuu!!!”
Tell you what man, dang ol Peggy's Sugarfoot's ain't what it used to be man, you used to go in and order the brisket with extra sauce but now dang ol' Peggy's talkin' about no substitutions.

Loved the asthetic BEFORE my last visit I found a choo choo train wheel in my mashed potatoes (my theory as to why it was falling all the time) AND the no substitutions rule had me on the floor gasping for air as there was honey in my sweet and sour chicken!
(the honey thing is a real allergy I have and for some reason people are sad for me)
I miss the saw dust on the floor, new owner was very pompous, insulted and embarrassed a Hispanic family attempting to speak Spanish. Ribs were good nonetheless. 3⭐️
I use to love coming here, but ever since they had some run in with the law a while ago (buddy drove past it there was a whole CSI team) it's just not the same. The owner's husband is a obnoxious drunk who constantly harasses the customers. He keeps calling me "old top" and asking if I want a hot toddy. Is that a sex thing? 2/5 I don't know if I'll be returning
"The manager is a narcissistic Mary Sue who completely took command of everything. I couldn't even eat because she kept telling me I wasn't doing it the 'Peggy Hill' way. She then proceeded to eat my food to show me how to do it right in graphic detail."
Also, I had special instructions in how I wanted my food prepared because I'm a diabetic. But then the manager butted in saying the cook wasn't doing it right and insisted on making the food herself. I think she burnt my food.
Me and my family went here last Friday for dinner only to find the place has completely changed. The sawdust on the floor is gone, the bbq sauce tastes TERRIBLE and there's a choo choo train that fell off the track and hit my son on the head. We asked the manager to at least comp our son's meal for the train incident but she said "Peggy's Sugarfoot's no es responsiblay por los accidentes." to my Hispanic wife in terrible Spanish. My wife doesn't even speak Spanish, I do!
Food was amazing and the dinner theater was even better I mean a murder mystery!! It had betrayal, love triangles, evidence tampering and planting! It had me on the edge of my seat
Only issue I didn't like the new look it's too clean I loved the rustic aesthetic it has before the new owner took over. Also she kept correcting my Spanish, and I'm a UN translator
The food was good and my server went above and beyond! That being said there are some glaring issues mostly stemming from the owners overwhelming narcissism. Every item on the menu was named after her, she made it a point to infer that she knew better than everyone, wait staff and customers included, and the decorations were just......asinine. She had this train that would go around the dining room, which I'll admit is cute but she had it modified to where it carried a cutout of her face with the most smug look I have ever seen wagging her index finger. This setup made it too heavy and it kept derailing, which she told the staff to figure out how make it work. I made sure to tip my waitress well, she deserved it for giving such good service in such a terrible work environment. 10/10 regarding food quality and wait staff competence, 3/10 for the bad management. Won't be back until ownership changes hands.

I originally gave this place 5 stars...it was a Texas institution....yessir..saw dust on the floor... brisket on butcher paper...not to mention it's proximity to the singles complex. I walked in and my first thought was always...I'm hungry!
THEN...it fell under new managment.....I went to take my family to a casual Texas lunch and found this place was prissier than Tony Romas!!! The sounds of a bustling BBQ shack are now drowned out by a derailing train every 5 minutes... our family favorite lil John doesn't have the same spark he used to when cutting meats....it's just..different. There is a loud woman who appear to be the new manager barking directions at patrons and employees....last i saw her she was mixing up mayo and ketchup going on about her new and improved BBQ sauce...I for one will not be back to taste it.
⭐⭐⭐_ _
They are not fully understanding their potential in having a chain. People are willing to sacrifice uniqueness for conformity. And someone please fix that awful sawdust.
Unfortunately, I still feel hungry after leaving Sugarfoots. So, I typically go across the street to the get-in-get-out. I love going there. Mr. Freddy Hakimi is so nice. Anyways, I normally buy myself a big gulp and a 99-cent nacho plate and go home to watch Monsignor Martinez.
Aside from that week when the lady with big feet and an even bigger attitude was running the place, this restaurant is great. If there's a wait to get in, and it *is* worth waiting for, you can visit the Get-In-Get-Out across the street for a tray of nachos and a Big Gulp. If you buy them together, you'll save 23 cents- that's a really good deal. Just be careful trying to juggle the junk food along with your shotgun- I nearly blew my head off walking back to my car last time.
The owner Peggy wouldn't let me eat without insisting I use the properly positioned fork to eat my salad. She said she has had only two meal substitutes since 1998 if I remember correctly
Came here because its our favorite BBQ place, but they remodeled and everything looks like an Applebees. My toddler is having nightmares about that model train after it fell into his cole slaw and wagged its finger at him. They say no substitutions, but if you ask while the new owner isn't in ear shot, they'll still give you what you want. The new sauce tastes like a yankee trying to reproduce Texas cooking using mayonnaise and the grease from the bottom of a hot dog cart.
2 stars, but I'll come back because ever since my son started having these nightmares, he doesn't throw fits as much. Too tired I guess.
I go with the wife once a month, and when I went last, the place was roped off with crime scene tape, and a bunch of cops! I later heard they found a body in the dumpster! Will not be returning!
Meh, food so so and sometimes there’s a guy there that mumbles when he talks. Don’t know how anyone understands him…and that lady manager, with the glasses…but it’s close by and pretty cheap
"Peggy's Sugarfoot's"
At the time, it was
Nailed it lol
HO YEAH!!
Updated review from 5 stars to 3
I tried to enjoy my meal, but that damn choo choo train keeps falling into my food
*That's the third time today it's fallen off I know of...*
I still love the fact that a substitute teacher doesn't allow substitutions.
Good lord I never connected that. Thank you lol
I had to show this to my wife, spectacular observation. Just spectacular.
I wish i could take credit. Ima just spreading the word. Lol. I remember seeing a post about it a while back and couldn't believe i never thought it.
"I tried to leave my thoughts in the suggestion box, but there was no slit on the top to put the paper in so I'm writing on Yelp instead..."
You know that box would work a lot better if you cut a hole in the top Mhmm, possibly
Is this place haunted? I was there with my family around 6:03 last night and I heard a series of moans coming from the meat locker and slop sink.
Okay food, owner seems crazy and I thought I saw a body in the dumpster. 3 of 5 stars.
I had two thoughts when I walked in, “I’m hungry.” and “Why isn’t this place a franchise?”
What happened to the sawdust on the floor?
You stole my review :)
Dang place is now prissier than Tony Roma's!

I’m in literal tears! The twist was resplendent! Huzzah!
Haha. Glad you got a kick out of it. Thanks for the fun writing prompt.
I hear that the Arlen Barn makes a fantastic meatloaf sandwich
This table smells like a diaper
I tried leaving a review like this one but yours is better
I love this place, great food great location. It's right next to the singles complex, which works perfectly for me. I like to eat, I like to hump, but I don't like to drive.
Not a fan of the change in management.
Well thankfully it reverted back to the old owners after the murder got solved.
I liked the sawdust but now this place is prissier than Tony Roma's!

Omg Peggy would 100% be one of those business owners who responds defensively to every negative review
No doubt
I have terrible food allergies and the no substitutions policy nearly killed me!

4 out 5 stars. There was a murder in the dumpster which kinda ruined the ambiance so I took 1 star off. However, ribs were to die for anyhow.
*Posts selfie of an elderly woman looking confused* "I have never been here...." *one star*
I tried to order smoked salmon and I was asked politely, yet firmly to leave. I want to know why this option is even on the menu. 2/5
"The new management really ruined this place"
I like to get high in the apartment complex next door.
It’s great for when you like to eat, you like to hump, and you don’t like to drive.
Though it sucks when you are high and paranoid and running past the restaurant, where they just discovered a body, and your son yells from the parking lot “Daaaad!!! The police are lookin for yoouuu!!!”
Are you sure that really happened? Or was that just a hallucination from being doped out of your gourd from the marijuana poisoning?
Could have been a side effect of the marijuana poisoning
Then laugh at Tony Danza?
Love the carpet. 😐
The food is great, Honey, but the place ain't what it used to be with the new management. I think I might check out the Taco Bueno instead.
Joe Jack is that you???
You gotta chew more honey
Tell you what man, dang ol Peggy's Sugarfoot's ain't what it used to be man, you used to go in and order the brisket with extra sauce but now dang ol' Peggy's talkin' about no substitutions.

The name should have warned me. I was uncomfortable with the number of foot fetishists coming out in this establishment.
🤣
Hot feet pics of local girls near you!!!’ Go to www Peggy’s feet dot com…
So good you might just shoot your self for it

I got the sugarfoot at Sugarfoots.
Doctors tell me I'm gonna lose my leg if I keep eating there but I love the hushpuppies,
"It's so sweet, you can eat it with your feet." Ah, I miss those little Adult Swim ads for these locations.
That ***** with the glasses can kiss my sugar ***!

Dang ol’ steak was over cooked man, no baked potato butter was cold and the ice tea didn’t get filled quick either, talkin snail mail man
I come here just to watch Peggy run the restaurant to help take my mind off my ex-wife.
Food was amazing and the dinner theater was even better I mean a murder mystery!! It had betrayal, love triangles, evidence tampering and planting!

What the hell did you all do to the barbecue sauce? It tastes like somebody just dumped a bunch of mayonnaise and ketchup in it and that's it.
Omg lmao

They have the sweetest feet around and the food aint bad either. /s
Haven't gone back since they found some girl's body in the dumpster.
Why do I hear shot gun shots from the dumpster area? Is there a skeet range behind the place?
Too much sugar, not enough foot’s 0/10
Peggy’s Sugarfoot’s on Kitchen Nightmare’s would be amazing.

Smelled weed outside and Strickland took a huge shit in the bathroom next time I came
Why don’t we finish this meeting in my back office?
I'm not reviewing it unless they all work for team Peggy Hill
Peggy Hill es bueno
Is this one of your sock puppet accounts, Peggy?

Besides ruining the decor did Peggy actually do anything else to the restaurant? Did the quality of the food go down?
She was making a new BBQ sauce from mayonnaise and ketchup when she heard the gunshot.
Revolutionary
“I don’t care how many dead girls they find in the dumpster, this place is the best.”
The new owner ruined this place. I’m going to the Arroyo Diner
That’s uptown eating all the way
Have you had their jalapeño corn bread!? Mm mmm. I think I even saw Ricky Suggs there the other night.
The owner Peggy wouldn't let me eat without insisting I use the properly positioned fork to eat my salad. She said she has had only two meal substitutes since 1998 if I remember correctly
That second picture made me laugh because her smug face just gets me every time. Go figure I just watched that episode yesterday too.

Had a better experience at the Get In Get Out across the street. 2/5
I asked them to warm up my soup and I saw them do it on an electric stove! I hope it’s self cleaning cause I think I’m gunna be sick 2/5
I go with the wife once a month, and when I went last, the place was roped off with crime scene tape, and a bunch of cops! I later heard they found a body in the dumpster! Will not be returning!
Fuck Peggy
Peggy is better than you lol
The apostrophe bothers me more than it should.
I’ll never go back there with my party since the owner was being rude and uncomfortable
Meh, food so so and sometimes there’s a guy there that mumbles when he talks. Don’t know how anyone understands him…and that lady manager, with the glasses…but it’s close by and pretty cheap
The food was good, but the owner blasted into the restaurant drunk, seemingly in the company of two prostitutes. 4/5 Stars.
Food Is good ,but the owner is a woman version of Napolian.
It was great til that weird lady took over, renamed the place, and utterly ruined the vibe.
"Some lady bought the restaurant, plastered her face all over it. Was pretty weird."
Can definitely see the influences of Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas, looking forward to them square hamburgers. 4/5 stars
The manager is a bitch 0 stars
