Mutt & Jeff’s

Amazing food at fabulous prices! This place was just what I was looking for. It’s one of those places you could pass by Vidor, Tx at any point in your life. DO NOT PASS BY WITHOUT EATING HERE! I’m from out-​of-​state and have been to a few good places in this corner of the United States, but this one takes the cake! Make sure to try the burger with jalapeños I can’t remember what it’s called but it was amazing! The staff was also very friendly and suggested many delicious items that they had actually tried. It was quite refreshing to meet a staff that had tried the food at the place they work at. The food was great the service was awesome and the prices were on point!

The most important thing first: Mutt & Jeff’s is the somewhat official restaurant of Vidor High School.
Now for the disclosure: I am not a graduate of Vidor High School. My hunny is.
M&J’s was next door to Vidor High for years (the Orange street location), we drove by it on the way to my inlaws’ house. It was closed for a time, the old building was demolished, then it reopened halfway through 2012 in this location. Bigger space.
If you prefer a locally-​owned business, you can’t get more local than M&J’s. It’s so local, probably everyone working there has lived in Vidor for years. They live and breathe Pirates and bleed black & gold. It’s the sort of place that gets packed after the game. If you’re from out of the state and you want to get a true local experience, this is the place to go. (To put you at ease: I’m from California with an accent to match, and they didn’t throw *me* out.)
The menu is actually several 8.5×11 sheets of paper stapled together. And it lists the staples: burgers, seafood, fried jalapenos, fritopie. Kids menu. The prices are good, especially the seafood, but you get what you pay for. The food is, well, okay. You don’t go there for the food. you go to hang out.
Might as well drive south of I-​10 across the railroad tracks to Mutt & Jeff’s and sit a spell.
