Shady Oaks 1521 Shelbyville Street, Center, TX 75935

"If I could give this place a zero I would! The owner talks down to and yells at his female staff. He treats his female customers with disdain he was even yelling at the female delivery person as she was trying to talk to him!! This place is terrible!! Not to mention the name describes it pretty well “shady oaks” it’s def shady looking inside and out. The place is nasty dirty!!"

"Worked here for a few days and had had a very welcoming experience which was amazing due to the fact that i had no previous experience and am an anxious person. Even whenever I was getting overwhelmed they were always patient and kind to me and were there to help train me or to assist anyone else without hesitation. The owner is a nice & funny man, and he runs the place well and keeps his employees busy and in check although More importantly he keeps his customers happy also! They have delicious food- i’ve been going there my entire life and would pick getting a meal or something out of their hotbox over an average restaurant any day! Even if you’re just passing through i’d recommend swinging by Shady Oaks any day. The gas prices are good, food is good, and the staff is friendly! Highly recommended."

"While the service was quick I was let down by the obviously not hand made hamburger patties as well as the super stingy amount of lettuce, tomatoes and onion on the burger. My fries we also a let down as there was small amount and hard. I order two large Cheeseburger baskets for a total of $17+. I hadn't eaten here in years and won't be going back"

"Awesome burger basket with curly fries, they will make just about anything to order! Staff is friendly and the best part is they are open 24/7 So no matter what time you get a hankering for breakfast, lunch or dinner...they've got you covered!"

"The lady behind the counter was really sweet and didn't hesitate to let me use the restroom in the back (odd bathroom though, see photo). The selection at this store is rather haphazard and doesn't seem to utilize all the space they have available. There are things like iPhone speakers but I didn't see much in the way of actual food or snack items except for a few limited items (I just bought a ski mask here. Random, yes). Still, it was interesting to rifle through the random items for a few minutes. The restroom and the rest of the store could stand to get a good overhaul as far as cleaning goes. The shelves were kind of sticky and the bathroom had flies in it (which I can't stand!). Despite those things, they have friendly employees and I was able to grab a couple of things I needed from there, even some flavored water, which I was surprised they had in stock."
