Fuzzy’s Taco Shop – Longview, TX

One of our most favorite places to eat is Fuzzy’s Taco Shop. Not only is it a bright cheerful place, the food is delicious!

It just looks like a fun place to eat and it is. It’s not fancy. You order at the counter and you’re given a beeper thingy so you’ll know when your food is ready. You just go to this window and pick it up.

I’ve always gotten the Baja Shrimp tacos. You have a choice of corn or flour tortilla. I get the corn because I just like them better. This is a weird picture of it, because you can’t even see all the yummy grilled shrimp, but I was REALLY hungry so at least I got this picture before I scarfed it down.

Donny got the pulled pork nachos. They looked so good and he said they were. He is more adventurous. Once I find something I really like, I always order it.

Hannah ordered the tortilla soup and Jack got the Seasoned Beef Nachos. They ate all of it, so I’m assuming it was tasty. I didn’t snap a picture, but I was feeling piggish and Hannah was still hungry so we shared some regular nachos with just bean and cheese. I love me some nachos and they didn’t disappoint.

One of the very best things they have (if you’re over 21) is the frozen Jack & Coke. It’s truly an adult Icee! It was really hot on the day we went so Donny and I decided to indulge. Look at those frosty glasses!

It’s a fun place to hang out on game days because there are several big screens. Donny was watching some baseball game that was on.

Jack likes any place that has arcade games. Doesn’t even matter which ones they are.

Although we don’t typically like chain restaurants, we make an exception for Fuzzy’s. If you are ever in Longview, or the other few states that have a Fuzzy’s, you should definitely give it a try.  The one here in Longview is at 310 E. Hawkins Pkwy. If you’re in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, the original is in Fort Worth.  Oh my yum, it’s good!

Isn’t it fun when you find a restaurant you’ve never seen before right in your own downtown? I think it is! It was lunchtime, we were starving and how cute is this place?

Yep, a French bistro, with a funny name right in downtown Longview. Score!

When you walk in there is a blackboard menu that has an abundance of choices. It was definitely hard to decide. The gentleman taking the orders was so nice and answered any questions I had. I wish I’d snapped a picture of the board. Anyway, this is the heavenly creation I chose.

It’s a French grilled cheese. I call it fantasy grilled cheese. It’s made with Swiss, ham and bechamel sauce. The inside was gooey deliciousness with the perfect amount of ham. The cheese on top added the perfect crunch. (CHEESE ON TOP!) The side salad was so fresh, it seemed like they must have a garden right outside. It was served with a vinaigrette that was the perfect addition and didn’t overpower the greens. The buttery garlic croutons gave it just the right amount of crispness. Oh mylanta, it was so good! 👍

If you are looking for a healthier choice, there is this.

Donny ordered the Salmon Poke Bowl. It has salmon, edamame, greens, cabbage and avocado. I took a bite and it was amazing. There was a sesame seed dressing that I probably could have just poured in a cup and drank. Everything was so fresh and crisp.

We heard the bread pudding was out of this world, but we were so full by the time we finished we had no room left. 😢

The decor is so clean and bright. I felt fancy just eating there. 😃

I highly recommend if you ever visit Longview, TX, to stop by the Hick & Frog. You won’t be disappointed. The atmosphere is fun and the food is phenomenal.

Just look at how much fun Donny was having laughing at me.
