“I would not recommend this particular store because of the people that work there. The manager Kelsey and the drive through lady Crystal are extremely rude and they lie about being rude to the customers. When they say something about it, everyone covers each other's back and tells you if you don't like it. Go down the street to chicken Express. San marcus on highway one twenty three“

“Want to thank the General Manager, Margaret Burch, for tracking me down to return a birthday card which included a check accidentally left there by a family member. I appreciated her going that extra mile to do the right thing. We have been to The Brown House Cafe several times over the summer and really enjoy the great service and excellent food. It’s worth the drive from Gatesville for some good home cooking. Thanks, Margaret!“
