Good food that isn't bar-b-que near-ish Buffalo, Texas

In November six friends plan to meet for a midweek lunch somewhere central to us all in East Texas.  We need to be about midway between Quitman and Shelby, Texas.  On a map this appears to be within about a half hour from Buffalo, Texas.  One of us does not eat bar-b-que, but besides that, our only requirement is good  food.  We welcome suggestions for any place from a cantina to a linens-and-flowers spot (which we don't expect) with great eating.  Thanks!
 

You might try the "Your Pulling My Leg Diner", sits right outside of the well known metropolis of Buffalo.

Sam's has BBQ but they have a well balanced menu with plate lunces, seafood and sandwiches.  Fairfield, TX is a few miles N of Buffalo, TX on I 45.  Sam's is just off I 45 at Exit 197.
 
Sam's Restaurant @ 1015 West Commerce Street, Fairfield, TX 903 - 389 - 7267.

Huntsville, TX is 60 miles S of Buffalo, TX but it's really not out of your way going to Buffalo, TX from Shelby, TX but the guys from Quitman, TX will have to drive a little father.   Farmhouse is probably the best restaurant between Dallas, TX and Houston, TX.
 
If you liked BBQ New Zion MB Church has outstanding BBQ in Huntsville, TX. 
 
Farmhouse Restaurant @ 1004 14th Street, Huntsville, TX 936 - 435 - 1450.

Susan, a good rule is to NOT start a thread before... ohhh nevermind...

I second the Sams idea.  It is my regular stop on drives between Houston and Dallas and have not been disappointed.  I especially like the cheesburger on a homemade roll and onion rings.
