    Coffee

    Had the pleasure of having breakfast this morning at 1836 Cafe In Bells TX. if you're ever between Bonham and Sherman you have to stop here and eat!!! One of the best Chicken Fried Steaks I've ever had. The sausage gravy made it super rich and flavorful. We got a Pecan Cinnamon Roll to go and had it for an evening snack. Breakfast and lunch all week and Dinner on Thursday and Friday. Great service, great people, and great food!! Check them out!!

    Best Burger and chips around! Free mimosa on the weekends! Small quaint country living and serving owners! Breakfast is good too, but I'm in love with their burgers! Support your local businesses, because they give back locally!

    Decided to take stroll to find this gem. Simple menu and delicious. I got the chicken and waffles with a side of flapjacks. It came with a choice of sausage or bacon. The sausage was delicious. The flapjacks were fantastic. The waitress is here was definitely hospitable. Nice to see kind people showing that southern hospitality. Definitely will be back to try the burgers.

    THE BETTY

    I first met the owners of 1836 when I started working at The Loft Pizza Pub. I had already heard wonderful things about the Cafe's food & people prior & after talks with them it's obvious the love they poor into their business as a whole. Their quaint Cafe is welcoming & filled with the most delicious smells of homemade food. I have honestly never read the menu so when I called in my 1st order I asked for the Chef's favorite breakfast item...THE BETTY & it did NOT disappoint. Some of the best fried potatoes I've had. Biscuits, eggs, sausage & gravy cooked to absolute perfection My goal is to try everything on the menu now! Get over to FB & give them a follow!!

    The Austin omelette with bacon and toast with skillet potatoes.

    Had breakfast for lunch there today 11/2/24. We had The Austin and the 1/2/3 egg plate. Service was friendly and prompt. Food came out quickly and just as we ordered. Took a cinnamon roll home they are HUGE.

    If you are looking for a small WONDERFUL home cooking experience, look no further! The food is absolutely amazing! The staff is stellar and it's just some of the best breakfast food around! You will not be disappointed.

    Outside has the cutest swing and outdoor seating!

    Today I needed to stop in somewhere and wait for a locksmith and had 3 hours to kill. I found this lunch spot in Bells and if you don't know... there's not a ton to choose from! However, as soon as I walked in I was greeted with friendly hello's and the smell of the grill firing up. I got the chicken sandwich, which sounds basic, but it was absolutely not. Soooo amazing. Fries were seasoned and perfect. At the end they brought me a homemade chocolate chip cookie that was equally as good as everything else I tried. I'll absolutely be back and hopefully take advantage of complementary mimosas on the weekends! Definitely a Bells gem.

    Burgers are so good. The homemade buns they have are the best! Homemade fries are also great.
