Small town charm, big time taste! Hwy 87 hot spot you must try if in the area. Solid everyday menu items, all scratch made in house. But daily specials crush it throughout the week.*** GO ON THURSDAY AND HAVE THE CHICKEN FRIED STEAK SPECIAL*** best I've had in TX, and that's saying a lot. Like seriously, it's make a memory good. And like all great things, it isn't 1 thing that sets it apart, it's a culmination of the whole. Big enough to satisfy but not obnoxiously taking up a whole plate. Breaded to perfection. Every bite of crust has steak, no crust only bites!! Savory and flavorful. Not greasy with cream gravy you could drink by the gallon. It's just a damn good CFS. Friendly service and small town charm make this Cafe a must stop.

Had been recommended to stop by and try by a few coworkers. The food did not disappoint. I had a brisket sandwhich and it was pretty good. Worth a drive to give it a try, will be back to try the Smiley Pie!

Excellent all around, brisket was amazing, chicken was amazing and so was the coleslaw. Service was fantastic as well, will be back any time I’m in the area for sure!
We drove all the way here and it was closed!!!! Very disappointed! There's a cafe across the street. We are checking them out.

Did not get a chance to eat here. Race is obviously an issue here and I will be letting people know around me to never come here. Went in, sat down with my husband and a co worker because they work oil rigs. Only 2 other people sitting and eating. Waitresses saw us. We waited 20 minutes and we were never acknowledged or serviced. It’s 2024, racism is old. Get over it. You’re in Texas. We run this state whether yall like it or not.

Love this place. Found it on my way through from San Antonio to Victoria…worth the stop. Some of the best old school bbq I’ve had in a while. I’ll be back!
Great little small town restaurant.
