So we are visiting this area for the weekend and got a recommendation to eat here for breakfast…read more We get there about 9:30 or so and know it will probably be busy. We were not wrong, the line was to the door. The slogans on the walls and everything in the restaurant was neat and well organized. I read the two comments on the chalk board and my expectation for high quality food increased significantly. Sadly, that would be it. Two registers looked available, but only one was working. The guy taking orders seemed new and friendly. Unfortunately, his conversation tended to move away from taking orders and trying to make small talk with the customers. This made waiting in line borderline intolerable, especially with the child behind me jumping up and down on the wall leading to the register (thank goodness one of the parents finally made her stop). Once at the register, it seemed that the guy was new (or newer) and struggled with the orders a little bit. After repeating my order a few times, he got it. We went to the "Jam Bar" for coffee and water. The sweetener was almost out, there was no cream and one urn was out (the lady was prepping the empty urn for new coffee). I commented about the cream, but was completely ignored by the employee. Another employee came up and I asked her about the cream. She pointed at the 4-5 single serve creamers there and said that was it. I asked about the metal pitcher and she said, "Oh yeah, that has some too." I told her it was empty. She looked confused and then picked it up and left. So, I just served old coffee in my cup that I had to go find since no one offered it to me ($3.50/cup, I would have assumed it would be pristine, but not so much and no one seemed concerned). Now to the meal: I ordered the Vicious Benny and Old School Breakfast. The Vicious Benny was mediocre at best. The ham and hollandaise were good, but the biscuit was grainy and the over easy egg was runny and a little slimy. And there wasn't a whole lot of taste to the meal. The OS Breakfast was much better, but still not a lot of flavor. The bacon was pretty good and flavorful. The eggs and potatoes were cooked well, just no seasoning. Overall, such a sad experience. Maybe my expectations were too high based on what I saw and the crowd when I went into the restaurant.

Several QR codes to sign up for rewards and leave a review, which is fine, and easy to complete, but sometimes it's good to just enjoy a good biscuit. I had the vicious. Amazing. It wasn't spicy like I thought it'd be. They did a good job balancing sweet/spice.

Just excellent on everything. The frozen shrimp stew isn't ever quite as good as what they serve hot in the restaurant. Good everytime, but just not quite as good as what's served in the restaurant, or we really would buy too much lol. The ambiance is comfortable and they are always packed! Wish they were open longer hours

I'm only taking 1 star away for service because it was just our waitress who was the problem. She was dismissive, slow, and kind of rude. Everyone else seemed to be doing their jobs. Food-9/10 Very much recommend. I got the 2 meat plate with mac n cheese and baked beans. The beans were omg delicious. Lots of pulled pork in them, def homemade! Mac n cheese was ok. Not the best, not the worst. The meat was so tender, flavorful, and smoky. The original bbq sauce was on point! Vibe- The vibe was good. Nothing special but not bad. Overall, I would def recommend this spot!

This is a hidden gem in Gonzales. Inside it holds the nostalgia of an old country store. The decor…read morereminds me of time past. It was very lively from the chatter of the patrons and the servers directing people to their tables. The food setup is "cafeteria-style" but self-serve. The food stations were well kept and the food items was kept at safety standards. I must admit, after two plates of fried chicken ( well seasoned,moist inside and crispy outside) with a ladle of white beans ( tender and well seasoned) and corn bread. I didn't have room to taste of food items that they had to offer. Therefore, l must return! Yes, this place is highly recommended. You must come early because parking can be problematic. This little gem is worth trying with family and friends.

By dining here you also get to walk through the plantation gardens for free. The main dining room is nice w/ a giant table. Got seated in the side room. Service was attentive.

My husband ordered the Friday's special which consisted of shrimps in a thick Louisiana roux, white rice, roll and bread pudding. The bread pudding was good resulting in the one star. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The cafe is quaint and soft music was playing in the background. We thought we find a place that compared to Franks restaurant closer to home. Such a disappointment! First impression of food served, l can't recommend this place, not even to my enemies.
