“📍 Scale's Café – McDade, Texas
We're spending the summer in McDade for a work assignment, and after working all day in the HOT Texas sun... who's cooking?
Not us. 😂🔥
Let's start with the basics...
✅ Easy to find. ✅ Plenty of parking. ✅ Cool little atmosphere.
Now here's the plot twist...
It's attached to a gas station. ⛽
Before you clutch your pearls and drive on by... DON'T.
Some of the best food comes from places your GPS forgot to brag about.
The menu is HUGE, and they even had a daily special posted.
Our table tackled: 🍔 Tortilla Burger (whatever the official name is... I'd order it again!) 🥪 Philly Cheesesteak & Fries 🦐 Shrimp Po' Boy 🍝 Orleans Pasta 🧀 Fried Mac & Cheese Balls
Everything came out hot, fresh, and in portions big enough to make tomorrow's lunch jealous.
Now... let's talk onion rings.
LORT. 😍
Hand-breaded. Golden. Crunchy. And about the size of a toddler's bracelet.
Order them.
Just trust me.
The shrimp on the Po' Boy?
Big, juicy, perfectly cooked, and definitely hand-breaded—not those little frozen shrimp trying to fool anybody.
A few more reasons we'll be back:
🥞 Breakfast served ALL DAY. 🍺 BYOB. 🎤 Karaoke nights (check the sign inside for dates). 👨👩👧👦 Plenty of room for large groups.
And a special shout-out to our sweet server, Nicole. She was attentive, kind, and one of those people who genuinely enjoys taking care of her customers. She absolutely made our visit even better. ❤️
👖 TW's Real Pants Rating™: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I'd happily put on real pants for this place again."
✔️ We'll definitely be back.😉“
