Any good eats along my route from Natchitoches, LA to Austin, TX?

The day we are driving over we will be leaving fairly late that afternoon/evening and won't get to Austin in time for dinner. Interested in suggestions for somewhere we could catch dinner along the way.

In Hearne, TX there is Johnny Rebs but I would be careful stopping there after dark. Don't speed in Hearne. They are notorious for stopping people for doing 1-2 MPH over the speed limit. The stretch between Marquez and Hearne on 79 is the most boring drive I have ever made.

I actually didn't find the drive to be that bad when I drove it last year.

Going to have to disagree with you there.

I guess holler if you get lost and end up in College Station 
I'm sure you could find something decent in Lufkin, since you're driving right through it. Aside from Austin, there aren't a whole lot of powerhouse food cities on that path to say the least.

Yeah, I realize there isn't much along the way. Was just hoping somebody might have a hole in the wall type place they could suggest.
All else fails I might just eat at Buc-ees.

Lufkin is part of my territory for work and i have done my fair share of lunches there.
La Unica Tortilleria- Awesome dive mexican joint. famous for tamales and sell them to go.
Mom's Diner- good ole home cooking plate lunch specials. Chicken fried steak, chicken and dumplings, meatloaf, etc. good veggies and cornbread.
Rays Drive in and Diner- Just like it sounds, old school throwback diner with greasy burgers, massive onion rings, and soda floats.
that should be a good start. Lufkin is pretty big and has a ton of chains and even a Ralph and Kakoos, but the 3 above are all dives and great eats.
