Brigitta's Hungarian Restaurant

Was really happy to find this joint while in town. The owner was super friendly and even had time to sit down and chat with us for a while. We enjoyed the food and the family atmosphere. They had a community jigsaw puzzle on one table, books and magazines for people to read, over all very family oriented. We will visit again when in the area!

**UPDATE**
We were attending the Kilgore Oktoberfest downtown and was excited to see Brigitta's set up. We opted out of the other lines to go straight to where we knew the food was good. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. They only took cash, so we walked 4 blocks to the ATM, paid the $5 total fee to remove cash, walked back and stood in line a second time. Ordered the sausage and a chicken schnitzel sandwich and paid almost $20. The sausage was ok, but wasn't hot, it came with a bun and mustard. The sandwich was literally a frozen chicken patty that had been heated up. It came with a bun and you put your own condiments on it. I'm glad we went to the restaurant in town first, because had this been our first visit, we never would've tried the other one.

I spent a lot of time overseas while I was in the military and walking into this place brought back so many good memories. It's decorated just like the small restaurants you would encounter in Germany or any other European country. The husband was in another room hand making sausage and his wife was working behind the counter. Very friendly people! You can smell the spices when you walk in the door....Ahhhh!!!

I ordered the stuffed cabbage rolls and my wife ordered the stuffed bell pepper. It came out very quickly. All I can say about the food is....wow. So good! The mashed potatoes were real potatoes, not the instant kind you get at restaurants from food chains. The cabbage rolls were perfectly cooked and tasted like anything you get in a side street European restaurant. It was the perfect blend of spices. The bread was warm and soft, and slightly sweet.

They do serve on paper plates and give plastic utensils....in my food euphoria, I broke my fork....lol. But, it's only the husband and wife working there. I think it adds to the ambience of the restaurant!!

We will definitely be back!! I give it a solid 5, or higher if I could, stars.

Outstanding! Made from scratch Authentic Hungarian cuisine! Nothing fancy just high quality Home Cookin 🙌 Also, it is BYOB

The food is excellent. I had the cabbage lasagna and it was very good and a perfect portion for lunch with a slice of bread.

It was not busy, and lunch was served in a paper bowl with disposable utensils, I'm sure this makes service easier as they have a small staff right now.

The two owner/employees that were there were very friendly.

Drove all the way from Shreveport with my fiancé to enjoy this homemade and authentic Hungarian food. Foods so tender it can be eaten on a paper plate. Owner is the sweetest most enthusiastic person and I can’t say enough good things. Lasagna is the best I’ve ever had. This place is what it truly means to be the backbone of America with a small business.
