    For more than forty years, Ernest's has been our favorite place to dine in the ArkLaTex! Mr. Palimisano and his staff take great care of their customers and the food is always amazing. We highly recommend this wonderful restaurant.

    Our waiters name was sable and he was absolutely amazing. He was very polite, well spoken. Knew the menu very well. Was very attentive to me and my husband but not overly. And BTW, he makes a very delicious bananas foster. Also compliments to the chefs, the food was hot and very good. I gave them 5 stars because we had an amazing evening and all around great food and service. The only thing I can say is the lighting was alittle to dim, but still great for a nice romantic date night. We were absolutely pleased with everything!!! Definitely recommend and will be going back.

    We dined celebrating my sisters 42nd Anniversary and also 2 birthdays. I was so excited to take my husband to Earnests since he had never been, the Shreve Earnest and fish in a bag was very fishy tasting and tasted like the Red River. The food was not brought out at the same time, we had a table for 6 . Probably 20 minutes between getting the rest of the table served so some of us had already . We will never be back !!!

    Wait was two hours long, with no formal notice or even letting the guests know there was a wait time. They were super short handed. Would have been nice to know the wait was that long even with reservations.

    Well waited two hours for food that never came and when we asked again she ran to the back and came out with two plates and wasn’t even close to what we ordered . It was Valentine’s Day so we left with nothing to eat after having these reservations for a long time .
