Great food! The Lake Trash Can was totally amazing. It's The Hobo on top of biscuits and gravy. Can't be beat. Pet friendly, outdoor picnic tables. Staff was fabulous and friendly. Worth the teip there for the breakfast! Coming back fir the Friday catfish fry.

This is a great hole-in-the wall Mom and Pop vibe cafe.
Service is great. The hostess and the cook are always so friendly and attentive.
Most of the people who come here are locals and they are also very friendly.
Some reviews complain about the price - this is 2025, everything is expensive. The food you get for the price is more than worth it. We have gone several times over the years for breakfast and the food is made fresh with real food ingredients. I always get a full order of Lake Trash to be able to take some to go for later. It's a big heaping pile of of fresh biscuits and gravy topped with eggs, hash browns, bacon, and sausage. I always add cheese and jalapeños - chefs kiss 🤌. My husband says their house made salsa is great.
We have also had their catfish on Friday's. It is equally as good. We had catfish togo and it came with plenty of fish, fries, hush puppies, coleslaw, and the best beans. The catfish has a crispy batter on the outside and melts like butter on the inside. Their tarter sauce is amazing and they give a good amount for all the fish they give you.
Their burgers are amazing too.
We love this place and have gone here for years. I highly recommend.

A little jewel on the banks of Lake Brownwood. Really friendly staff, very good food - American fare (burgers, sandwiches). We would come here again and recommend you do too!

Took a chance on a little bitty Cafe while staying in Brownwood this weekend! The waitress made us feel completely at home and took such wonderful care of us and especially our son! We will definitely be coming back! One of our new favorite places!

I didn’t mean to rate, Google maps ask if I wanted to rate while I was busy with something else. I tried to go back. Didn’t even know it posted. Of course there’s no problems, I go here a LOT.

My family loved this place. The customer service was better than any fine dining experience I've had. We will return for the delicious homemade flavourful food! The coffee was the best.
