I’m a local senior advisor in the Yantis and Sulphur Springs area. I invited area seniors to join me for breakfast at 9:30 to discuss Medicare. Based on Facebook responses, I expected 3–4 guests. The restaurant was not busy, and I sat down with three seniors who came specifically for the breakfast.
To my surprise, the owner refused to serve us, citing that she was understaffed—yet at the same time, she charged me for meals ordered by other customers who were not part of my table or gathering. It was an incredibly strange and uncomfortable experience. She hovered over me, attempting to intimidate me for simply sitting at a table with a few guests—all of whom were willing, paying customers.
Despite the confusion and frustration, I paid the $50+ bill (for random people I never even met) out of respect for the staff, who shouldn’t be penalized for poor management decisions.
This was easily one of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve ever had. I won’t be returning, and I would strongly caution others to think twice before visiting.

It’s common to use a picture of a location so people know where to go—especially in a small town.
When you told me that I should’ve given you a heads up, I apologized for any inconvenience and let you know I’m a local guy and would like to be able to meet people here again in the future. You rolled your eyes and walked away.
I’m a licensed agent with the state of Texas (NPN: 19354126). I’ve been doing this for over 5 years in DFW (zero complaints) and recently moved back home to raise my family here.
I’m the opposite of a scammer. The scams come from overseas call centers and websites that never meet folks face-to-face. I’m here in person, answering questions, helping people save money, and making sure no one gets taken advantage of.
I just did this exact same thing at the Emory cafe a couple weeks ago. I asked for a table in the back, let them know a few people would be joining me for breakfast to talk about Medicare at our table. GREAT EXPERIENCE. Took great care of us and treated me like a paying customer...I will definitely be back.
Anyways...here's a review I got after the meeting.
“The young man putting on the meeting was very nice and knowledgeable. I will not visit Yantis Cafe again. Owner would not wait on people attending meeting. There were only 3 of us.”
Speaks for itself. God bless.

Food was amazing! Ordered a cheeseburger with fries. Cooked to perfection. The woman who took my call could not hear me too well because my service was bad. She made out as best as she could my order and made them! So yummy!!
