It was my second time coming here, but the first time eating real food instead of pie.

I ordered chicken fried steak, French fries, and broccoli.

The broccoli was delicious and fresh, the French fries are made in a way that I rank them in my top 10 fried spuds. The very best French fry I've ever had, was in Marble Falls though 😉. The chicken fried steak was yummy, but I'd give it a 3/5. Solidly good. Better than that famous cafe in Stephenville, but I've had some close contenders in Waco that are just as good or slightly better. For my meal, I'd say it scratches that cafe Americana itch, and I'm happy to support this business in the future.

Unlike myself, my companion did not enjoy her meal that much. She's more picky than I am (as I will eat just about anything). She ordered the chicken tenders, green beans with bacon, and mashed potatoes.

The chicken tenders were great. No complaints. They were also big! The sides were less impressive, though. The green beans had no texture. They were too soft and had a bit of a greasy after taste. I like veggies, and I like them to keep their texture, so that was disappointing to me. The mashed potatoes tasted just fine, but if I had to critique, I would want them to be a bit creamier/softer.

In summary: great little restaurant. Don't let my minor criticisms scare you off from eating here, because I'm the one who ate the dishes, and I still plan on coming back. The food was decent in some areas and down right tasty in other areas. The decor was nice, and I love supporting small town eateries and buying local/American whenever I can. The prices were great, too 5/5 in affordability.

I'll be back to try your other menu items soon enough 😎.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. It says right on the door "this is a family friendly restaurant "

Awesome waiter! Everyone here is very friendly!
Came here for breakfast. I tried a chicken fried steak for the first time. I also loved their ultimate breakfast burrito. Will be coming back here when I’m back in Texas.

I frequent this cafe quite often. Today was not a good day . Ordered breakfast today. The bacon was like sliced ham, not cooked all the way and had to cut with a knife. The toast was hard and cold. The butter didn't even melt. Completely disappointed with today's service. Waitress very apologetic but that did not help i did not want to wait. Manager gave me a $1.80 off. Lol. Wasnt looking for a discount but wow.
