Smile and say hello when you come in and the service will be great and friendly. I'm not saying it won't be good if you aren't friendly, but you get back what you put into it, you know. The place is plenty clean enough for all but the most OCD types, and the prices are so low they'll melt your face.
This is what it was like getting a meal back in the fifties. And it's pretty darn wonderful, this old coot affirms! The grits are... ok, well, they're grits, if you're from the south that's all you should need to know. Load 'em up with salt, pepper and butter and dig in. The Texas toast is homemade and perfect. The burgers taste like they used to and everything for breakfast - and, now that I think about it, everything else too - is pretty darn good.
We had breakfast there and all four of our group loved our food. It was a simple home style breakfast. The food was not cooked with too much grease. They had homemade biscuits and good Grits.
Had the buffet. Not much selection. Mashed potatoes and green beans were fresh. However the chicken fried steak was frozen and had a cornmeal crust. Meat inside was dried out. The Lasagna had a layer of grease on it. Salad bar was disappointing as well. Only one waitress, but she was fairly good and attentive. No soda fountain, only canned soda.
So you're passing through central Texas and you'd like to get a slice of small-town life? A "taste," so to speak... Well, here it is. Best wear jeans or khakis, wear a trucker's hat and take your time.
Its an old school cafe in an old school town. Reina runs a great place! Plate lunches every day!
Recommended. Welcome to Texas!
Nothing fancy just good eats at this local dinery. We enjoy coming here for a breakfast and lunch. Pleasant staff, reasonable prices, laid back atmosphere, and down home cooing.
