    When we spotted this cute little restaurant in Cleburne, we had to try it. It's been open since around 1920 and it is a great place to go for breakfast or brunch. They have a regular breakfast menu plus they have some other breakfast specials. I only got a picture of one of our plates but they all were pretty good. It gets very crowded here, but the servers try their best to give you plenty of attention.

    Hi Everyone! Today I had breakfast at Chaf In Restaurant I. Downtown Cleburne. Not sure what the name means, but, oh well!! I won't lie, I probably would not have eaten here if it weren't for the yelp reviews and it's a local mom and pop that advertises it has been around for about 100 years.... I'm glad I chose to stop by and give it a try. I had Chicken Fried Steak for breakfast. It came with two eggs, hash browns and two biscuits with gravy. The chicken fried steak was very good. The eggs nicely cooked, hash browns were great (sadly wish I got a little more). The biscuits were fantastic. Light and very tasty!! Gray was so so, which was disappointing. Our server was extremely friendly, gave great recommendations and provided excellent service. The ambience was quaint and a bit weathered. I doubt it was in the same building 100 years ago. But definitely 50! Finally, the prices were very fair for what you got. Yes, there were small things that weren't perfect about my meal. All things considered, including the great prices, I will definitely give my visit five starts. If in downtown Cleburne, it's definitely worth stopping at Chaf In Restaurant for breakfast! Jim

    Recommended to my by the employee at the nearby bookstore, I was very pleased by the decor, friendliness of the staff and patrons, and delighted by the delicious taste and value of the meal I ordered. The ambiance was very retro and provided an interesting vibe. I ordered the chicken fried steak, french fries, and mashed potatoes. Yes, double starch...oh well! Everything tasted as if they were prepared and cooked in-house, especially the french fries. Ever had fresh cut from the kitchen french fries? These were the real deal. Wow! The young lady waiting on me was personable and seemed not to be bothered by my eccentricities. Thank you! Once finished and on my way, I decided to visit here again if I'm ever in the area in the forseeable future.

    New York? Steak and eggs with home fries and rye toast.

    Food was better than expected. I had steak and eggs. It's supposed to be a New York, but I can't verify that, but it was good and cooked to order. Home fries were greasy. Rye Toast was thick and good. My husband had their Monday chicken pot pie and he enjoyed it. The place is filthy and out front smelled like garbage. We ate here anyway, and weren't disappointed. It's not high quality, but good. Service was very good. I'm giving it an overall 3 star but the chicken pot pie was 4 star.

    Hey, weary US-67 traveler: are you tired of crummy gas station food and craving some real cuisine? Do your eyes need a rest from looking out for the seemingly endless speed traps? Well, look no further than Chaf-In. This place is pretty popular, so parking is a bit hard to get once you get there, but once you're inside, you'll be greeted with welcoming, antique-feeling décor, my favorite of which is the model Union Pacific train running along the rafters. You can just take a seat wherever, and someone will be with you rather quickly, usually within a minute or two, to take your drink order and give you their menu. They have a rather large menu with all the diner classics, plus some novelties. Breakfast is served all day, but so is lunch and dinner for that matter. About the prices: I got a 6oz steak, sunny side up eggs, hash browns, and biscuits with gravy for $9.99. Despite that price, there was absolutely no compromise on quality. In fact, it's easily some of the best diner food I've had. It's easy to see why this place has been around for over 100 years. Perhaps it would be wise to drop in to this place before it gets on Guy Fieri's show and they raise the prices. All-in-all: it's a great place with excellent food and a very welcoming environment. It's more than worth the short diversion off of the highway.

    Great little local spot - very friendly staff - homemade food, yummy pies, sweet tea, southern comfort food

The caldo de res was better than home, and very well served portions. At least 10-12 oz of meat maybe more and a great array of veggies and excellent rice and condiments on the side. They don't skimp on the lime for the soups either. We ordered an extra order of flour tortillas. The food came with two for each but they were so good we got one more order. Also for alternative sweeteners they have yellow blue and my favorite pink which I have found they have available less and less. I will come back again. The menudo was excellent. Only complaint is they could have better soup spoons. Bring your own if you are partial to deeper soup spoons, which is petty in the big picture of it all. My dad is picky as I will get out. I am sleeping good tonight with a warm full tummy! The music is classic Mexican and most of my mom's favorites were playing. She was born in the 40's and loved all the classics. We decided to try the flan for dessert .It was about average but we didn't leave any on the plate , and they brought us two spoons on request. We are coming back for breakfast tomorrow .

I ordered a glass of sangria and it came out as a glass of Merlot. I ordered quesabirria tacos and charro beans. The beans had a good flavor but it was mostly broth not many beans. The birria tacos had a good flavor but were extremely oily, making them get soggy quick. My husband had the guisada which he said was tender and the flavor was good. The service was good. They bring out two salsas and beans with the chips which was nice but a bit underwhelming as far as flavor. The restroom was separate from the sink and the sink had no soap which left me hoping they wash their hands in the back. For the price, I'm not sure if I will go back.
