Being a waitress for overc 17 years, and earning several “best waitress” titles in Bell Counties newspaper, several years, when i worked at that family restaurant pretty much sums up my recommendations and experience, which that was my 3rd waitress job i had. Only quitting the first 2 was because of moving.

We would eat there very often living close by. We have never complained about anything until today. My son’s omelet had burnt hash browns inside and tasted terrible.

The Red Cap Cafe has been a beloved local spot since 1974, celebrated for its great burgers, perfect fries, and friendly staff. Recent management changes have brought some ups and downs, but a remodel has added a modern touch while keeping the cafe's hometown charm. Customers frequently praise the fresh and hot food, alongside a clean and welcoming atmosphere, making it a fantastic choice for breakfast, lunch, or dinner with the family.
Recent reviews highlight the consistent quality of the burgers, with the double cheeseburger with jalapeños and the Philly steak burger receiving special mentions for their amazing taste. Diners enjoyed three burgers with fries and a BLT sandwich, noting how good the food was and how fast it came out. The fried mushrooms are noted for being perfectly fried and juicy, while the cheese fries are well-seasoned with a homemade queso that enhances their flavor. Although there was a minor issue with running out of mashed potatoes, the grilled chicken and sides like macaroni and salad still impressed many. The hamburger steak received mixed feedback for being a bit too well done, but overall meals were considered fantastic.
The pancakes have been labeled the best, even outshining those from other popular chains. Desserts like banana splits and waffle cones add to the experience, with a variety of Blue Bell options available. Despite a suggestion for changing tables in the bathrooms, the attentive service, cleanliness of the restaurant, and the classic southern feel all contribute to the cafe's appeal, encouraging locals and visitors alike to support this cherished establishment.
