    Best chicken fried steak in all of Texas! You can't beat the lunch special either for $9.99 that comes with 2 sides (choice of brown or white gravy)! Old school diner in the heart of Howe,Texas, you can't miss it! You seat yourself upon entering and the staff will greet you momentarily. Old school vibes as these are the original building from back in the day!

    Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, corn and Texas toast

    Second time eating lunch here. They have a nice selection of lunch specials for $9.99. My son and i had the Chicken fried steak and the pork chop. The sides were pretty standard, the potatoes are real (not instant). The pork chop was fried perfectly with just a crust of breading. Service is fairly quick considering its a small town cafe with a small staff and this place was packed when we walked in. Highly recommend stopping in.

    The Wife I and our daughter found this little gem today. The chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and fried okra were all amazing. Sweet tea was good as well. Highly recommend this place. This was mine after I had already eaten half of it. Lol

    MOUTH WATERING Chicken Fried Steak!!!

    Friends hated it. Our food wasn't worth the extremely high prices and slow, absent service.

    Tried to charge me .75 cents for hot sauce. crazy! Would have been good on the fried catfish. Sounds like an airline move.

    My hamburger was delicious. So refreshing to eat a real old-fashioned burger instead of these…read more"gourmet " ones that hide the real taste. My only comment was the meat could have used a little more salt, but that was an easy fix. I never comment about my beverage but the MG's tea is excellent. The receptionist at the counter was friendly and outgoing. We really felt welcome. The restaurant Itself is an old service station from at least the 60's. It is adorned with vintage cars and car parts. MG's off both the highway so follow your gps. You will think you are lost. But then suddenly there it is. This eatery is well worth making the effort to find it.

    Went to MGs for lunch today. And it was so crowded. It was all you can eat hamburger day. And then…read morehey had a very long line of people ordering. I didn't get the all you can eat because all I can eat is one. But I did get the burger and onion rings and it was very good. My husband got the Chicken fried steak and he said it was very good and he really liked the okra. A friend went with us and she got the steak sandwich which she liked too. I love the rustic car theme they have at MGs and since it is a family restaurant it is filled with families and children enjoying their day. Children never bothered me in a restaurant but if you want a quieter place you might not like the noise. The employees who work there are so nice too. A great family restaurant in my opinion with great food. Good times for everyone!

When we find places that we are interested in and our lists match, it's a place to go to. This place has gotten a lot of publicity for a good reason. It's good. Burgers are a pretty simple item to cook but for some reason some places do it better than others. This is one of those places. We really enjoyed our food! I would only recommend going to fresh cut fries, I understand the reason its tough, as it adds another level of work for a small spot that the owners work everyday from open to close already to add one more task but it maybe worth it since the burgers are so good to match it with something great too. Service is what you expect from a burger joint order at the register and they bring it to you when it's ready, which is pretty quick. Happy with how it went especially given the busy lunch crowd. As far as places to sit and the inside of the place, just keep in mind its a burger joint and a busy one at that, so get a seat when you can and enjoy the fresh food. It's got plenty of room for most but be aware a big group is gonna be a challenge. Overall, excellent place with great food and hard working folks making a living, I love places like this! Give it a shot you will be pretty impressed!

Small interior offering 4 tables and a line up of bar stools. The kitchen and pantry are fully exposed. We were greeted by a gent opening the door for us and friendly hellos! The menu provides a wide selection of country fair with twists on cosmopolitan selections (the country bennie is a must). No pre-cut fries on site,! Everything looked and tastes freshly prepared. Will definitely make the trek again!

Inside, the atmosphere is small-town comfort at its best -- casual, welcoming, and the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. I ordered the Chicken Bennie, and it was absolutely outstanding. A homemade biscuit served as the base, soft and fluffy on the inside with just the right touch of crisp on the outside. On top of that came perfectly fried chicken tenders, a runny egg that tied everything together, and a generous pour of rich, savory sausage gravy. It all came with a side of crispy fried potatoes that were cooked just right -- golden and flavorful without being greasy. Every bite was pure comfort food perfection. The coffee was smooth and satisfying, the kind that pairs perfectly with a hearty breakfast. Service was excellent as well -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell the staff really cares about their customers and their food. Overall, 1836 Café is exactly what you hope to find in a small-town spot: great food, great people, and an atmosphere that keeps you wanting to come back. I'll definitely be returning, and I highly recommend it to anyone passing through or nearby.
