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.

Life’s an adventure,
