Excellent food home cooked. Delicious choices of food for breakfast and lunch. They do not serve dinner.

Awesome as always! Loved the food. This is a great experience for all age groups. Will definitely be going back.

I have been twice now to visit this Texas landmark. The main reason is to enjoy the home cooking. The food tastes like your grandma is in the kitchen. So tasty and hot! It's all you can eat and I usually go back through the line at least once. The vegetables are cooked to perfection. Such an enjoyable experience, you truly step back in time when you enter this hotel. This last time we met so many kind fellow customers who shared their love for this place and what it offers. Cannot wait to go back, I'm bringing my 88 yr old mom to enjoy as well on my next trip. read more

The restaurant us located in an old hotel built over a hundred and fifty years ago. First things first: Best rolls I've had in forty years...bought their cookbook ($20) just to get the recipe! The rest of the meal was delicious too. This place is actually a buffet with the home style food resting on what appear to be 100 year old stoves...plenty of vegetables, salad makings, ham, pot roast, turkey and dressing and a variety of desserts. (I am guessing the offerings vary from day to day.) Nothing unique here, just good down home cookin'. Ambiance is old country. The staff very friendly. Sunday meal is $12 and that includes tea and tax. Notice: cash only. Limited hours. Can't believe many of you will find your way to Blessing, Texas, but if you do, treat yourself to a really good meal right here. read more

This place is a happy place and might be haunted, but it's definitely a great meal, just definitely come hungry as it is all you can eat. Just like your grandma did it! Can't go wrong here! read more

The Blessing Hotel! Oh my, if you like home cooking, you will love the food here. Fried chicken, sausage, beef tips and gravy, and more sides than I can list. I will say that the green beans, pinto beans, and yellow squash were delicious! All served from the stove, so everything is hot. The dessert was peach cobbler and slices of cake. I found gravy at the back when I went back for another small bite of chicken. Highly recommend a stop if you are in the area. You can see what an old hotel from around the turn of the century that is still in operation looks like. read more

Some friends and I wanted to visit the famous Blessing Hotel Coffee Shop and decided to stay the night at the hotel. The hotel is very vintage. Staff are nice and walls are thin. You can hear your neighbor's TV through the wall. Beds are old and squeak. My friend and I heard a couple having sex through our door from across the hall. Price is very cheap. $25 for a 1 bed without a bathroom, $35 for a 1 bed with a bathroom, and $37 for a 2 bed without a bathroom per night. This place is usually packed with construction workers who are in town for work and need a cheap place to stay, so call ahead for availability. There is a train that passes by the hotel every once in awhile and that can be heard through the entire hotel. The hotel is much more like a frat house or a dorm with stand alone bathrooms and showers in the halls for those rooms without an attached bathroom. While our stay, my friend and I killed at least 5 roaches and 3 spiders. Every 20 minutes or so we would see a roach run up the wall or onto the refrigerator. On the plus side, the microwave and refrigerator work nicely. MOTS: Cheap place, nice staff, old building. read more

I think this old hotel is charming. It was clean, the staff were friendly and the food in the cafe is 'old home cooking' and hits the spot. I loved the claw foot tub!!! If it wasn't so dang heavy I may have taken it home with me.. hehe. I didn't encounter any cockroaches or spiders as mentioned in another review. I didn't hear any televisions or sex either... just creaking floors and stairs. I only wish I had heard a train as I always seem to live by the tracks and find the sound comforting. I was told to make myself at home upon arrival. When I went up to my room, I immediately took off my tennis shoes as I wanted to rest my feet. Then it occurred to me to take some pictures. I ventured out of the room, down the stairs, around the lobby and back IN MY SOCKS.... which remained clean. Someone is definitely looking after the floor and other surfaces. The bathroom was well maintained and very clean. I can't say enough about this place. I will say that I think it's a shame that a lot of these old businesses with rich history and good personal relations go out of business over the idea that people need a pool, hot tub, room service or elevators to be happy staying away from home. I will definitely return.... Good Job Mina and Good Job Blessing Hotel ... see you again, soon. read more

Around 1960 I lived in the Houston, Texas, vicinity and went to college in Kingsville, Texas. That gave me the opportunity to pass by Blessing and eat in the coffee shop both going and coming, I now live in Jonesboro, Georgia, and about a year or two ago took a business road trip to Browsville and made it back to the Blessing area in time for lunch. 50+ years between visits and the food was as good today as it was all those years ago. I have eaten in restaurants from the east coast to the west coast and from the north to the south. When it comes to "down home country cooking" this is as good as it gets. YUM !!!. Great food at a bargain price. NOTE: The Coffee Shop is not a full time operation. Their hours are: Breakfast 7AM-10AM. Buffet Lunch 11AM-2PM. Phone is 361-588-6623 This is one of those places where the ambiance makes it worthwhile to drive a little out of your way to visit this piece of history..... and the food it good too. read more

It's historical because it's old!! The manager, Helen, she's been there nearly 40 years!!! And never meets a stranger!! The Blessing Hotel and Coffee Shop has the Best food, served cafeteria style, is just plain old home cooking!! Breakfast is great, too, with table service. My favorite is biscuits and gravy on Saturday morning!! If you want Thanksgiving dinner, you need to get there early!! Everyday they serve three different types of meats and side dishes to die for!! Everyone deserves a good meal at the best place in South Central Texas!! Pop's favorite place!! read more
