The food is world-class: thoughtfully conceived, beautifully executed, and consistently excellent. You would normally have to travel to Austin, Dallas, or Houston to find a restaurant of this caliber--and pay significantly more. The fact that Mary delivers this level of quality here, and does so consistently, is remarkable. Everything is cooked to order, exactly as it should be in a serious kitchen. This is not fast, mass-produced food--and that's the point. If you value freshness, precision, and quality, The Turtle delivers every time. The bar is equally outstanding, and one of my favorite places to sit and dine. This is an ideal place for date nights or when hosting out-of-town guests you truly want to impress. The Turtle impressed my hardest-to-please food critic, which says everything. For me, it has become a regular favorite--one of Brownwood's absolute treasures. Go for the food. Stay for the ambience. #thebar

My egg was alright, but the hashbrowns were soggy and cool, not warm or crispy. I suspect cooked earlier and then microwaved. (don't know for sure.).

The restaurant is set inside an old train car, which is just really cool and different. The hamburgers are always spot on -- juicy and full of flavor -- and I can't pass up the Reuben. It's perfectly toasted with plenty of meat and just tastes great every single time. The service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the stop even better.

Our server came over right away, took our sink order, & suggested the daily special. They were almost out so she said she'd put us down for that, if we ordered right away. We ordered onion rings to start. Very crispy & tasty! Ranch dressing was really good! I had the special. It was yummy, but the mashed potatoes came out cold. I sent them back & they were piping hot. The fried okra was well-browned & had a good taste. My hubby had hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, & a roll. Everything tasted really good to him.

There were a lot more people seeking nourishment than would have been on a typical Saturday. So when I say the service was a little slow, I have to add the caveat that I don't think City Center was ready for the invasion. Center City is in an ancient and historic building. The seating is bare bones. They have something going for them. The other go-to American breakfast restaurant closed its doors. The food was what I expected. It was tasty without imagination. Sometimes that is exactly what a traveler is looking for. The bill? It was reasonable. It was the exact amount that the meal was worth. I have to be honest; I can't shout the excellence of this cafe. I can say you get what you pay for. If I were traveling to or through Comance, I wouldn't hesitate to grab breakfast there. I can't speak to the dinner menu. I'm sure it would be more of the same.
