Best soft drinks ever! Good mix. Worth cheating today, only drink about 1 soda a month.
I’ve come here a lot over the last 20 years but honestly, it’s been a few years since I had been here until today. I came over with my fiancé so that we could get married and we had lunch somewhere else and then dessert before heading to the wedding. The cherry pie was my favorite of the three desserts we got.
always amazing food and pies. never had a bad experience. they are only open for lunch, really popular spot. would have posted my french dip sandwich but it was too good and I ate it before I took the pic 10/10 will order again
The old time charm and sense of nostalgia make it feel like a step back into a simpler, sweeter era. Everything from the atmosphere to the friendly service adds to the experience. The muffaletta was a standout and absolutely worth the visit on its own. This is the kind of place that makes you slow down, enjoy the moment, and leave already planning your next stop back. Highly recommended.
We enjoyed a late lunch on a week day. There was a steady stream of patrons eating in and getting to-go orders. We had the club with bbq chips, french dip with broccoli cheese soup, and the works with chips. Lots of food, and everything was delicious. Chocolate pie with meringue and chocolate chip pie for dessert - huge servings.
This cafe is wonderful! I had the French Dip -- the bread was fresh, there was plenty of meat & cheese, & the au jus was definitely homemade.
A true small Texas town gem! Cafeteria style walk up ordering means super fast service. We were all at our table with our food in 5 minutes. Sandwiches are fresh and delicious with homemade bread. The soups are also fresh and hot and very tasty. My salad was crisp and delicious. The watermelon unsweetened ice tea was a perfect compliment to a great lunch! Our favorite spot when we are in town can't wait to come back!
We get a menu and get in line to order, similar to lubby's but here is mostly sandwiches and two options for soup, pies are delicious and ice cream of course, there is a sitting kind of A&W were you can order floats, ice cream, pies, etc., we loved it!
Great option for lunch. My chicken salad and soup hit the spot. Others in my group had the pimento cheese BLT and they really enjoyed it. Need to go back to try the pies.
The food and pies are amazing. Atmosphere is fantastic. Only one complaint. I ordered a stuffed avocado with tuna salad. They gave me a stuffed avocado with chicken salad. When I took it back for replacement. The blonde haired woman was not apologetic. Grabbed my plate and threw it in the trash. First off it was not my fault they made it wrong. I over looked her meanness due to the fact this place was so lovely.
