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.
The restaurant that i worked 17 years was a family owned restaurant. The father and youngest son cooked, the daughter and myself were the only waitresses during...read full review
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. My toast was burnt but no big deal I had other food to eat. Brought it to our waitress attention and she got the manager. She said she would bring it to the cooks attention. My issue is my son’s food should have been discounted at the very least. Food is too expensive to not to be able to eat your food. I wanted...read full review

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.
