“We stopped by here on our anniversary weekend. The place was awesome. They are a great Christian business! God bless them.“

“This Cafe is truly a God send. not only do they serve delicious home-cooked Southern meals but they also bring respect and compassion to the table.compassion for all. here we all sit on the same table and eat a meal of our choosing meaning they allow you to choose which meal you would like to from two different already prepared meals then after you are seated a waiter brings you a tray with a variety of different desserts.( choose one), then let me tell you you've never tasted tea this good. so so refreshing. especially on a hot summer day. Refill?? Yes please.this Cafe is built within a house. the living room turned into a dining area, the kitchen was widened, library to the left then around the next corner another room turned into a dining area. upon arrival (depending what time you get there) you wait in line .(please do not block the door) choose your dish then choose your table and enjoy and yes! it's absolutely Free... the interior is very clean, not to crowded and after you are done eating the waiter or waitress will pickup after you and prepare the way for the next guest. the atmosphere here is no different than any upscale 5 star restaurant although I did enjoy my conversation here just a tad bit more. mainly cause they were rooted in kindness with compassion. there are restrooms, it is wheelchair accessible but no wifi and parking is rough but it's definitely worth the small thing we go through. I'm not exactly sure how the book part works ,maybe cause the meatballs in mashed potatoes had me savoring the taste😛 but if you so choose afterwards you can catch a seat on the wrap around porch or benches out back and strike up a great conversation as your food settles. I strongly recommend this Cafe to all who visit Waco remember Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m...enjoy“

“We had the wonderful opportunity to eat at McDowell’s today. Our meal was perfect. We both had catfish and all the trimmings. I strongly recommend you go! Mr Mac is wonderful. We will definitely be back soon!“

“We drive 2 hours to come here to eat. It never disappoints. We've toured the farm and to know that all of the food is fresh and framed there is amazing. The bold flavors burst through when eating.“

“Really cute bookstore. The kid’s section has this additional Narnia-like wardrobe entrance which was a hit with my kids. My only peeve is I wasn’t expecting the crowd on a weekday afternoon. Goes to show how popular this place must be with the locals! Oh, and I was surprised that there wasn’t a lot of parenting books.“

“It was our first visit, we will be back The food was great, service was amazing and hospitality like you get from those down home country cafes.“
