We met a friend that eats here all the time. It is like a place out of time. The food tasty but you have yo flexible because you might run into a homeless person in the parking lot and the restaurant is a bit dated. But, it is a family run restaurant that has a lot of charm. I had the Huevos Mexicanos, Refried Beans, and Corn Tortillas. Everything was tasty. Just in case you have anyone that wants Waffles, they only have Pancakes. The service was prompt and our waitress checked on us multiple times. The parking is a little tight on Sunday mornings. They do have a lot of patrons from the hotel behind them. If you are open to a not so fancy diner from the past, you should definitely go for a visit. read more

Country Cafe - Breakfast on Sunday - American Near Me - Irving, Texas

Food quality was good with old school portions and really good prices vs. anything else around. Wait staff was quick and friendly. Skip Waffle House and IHOP for this one. They have all the standard Texas and TexMex menu you would expect in a café. Saw the owner more than once bringing food out and checking on the customers. read more

Diamond in the rough . Unexpected find. Had gps set for another large breakfast location. Saw sign from interstate. Home cooked breakfast sounds great. Delightfully superb. Wait staff very friendly. read more

Country Cafe - Eggs eaten, hash browns sausage, biscuits. Gravy - American Near Me - Irving, Texas

Wasn't quite what I was expecting when we came in, but they were busy. The seating area has seen a lot of wear and could stand a refresh. We both had breakfast, my three egg plate was fine, my wife had the veggie omelette with fried potatoes. Unfortunately within a short time she exhibited signs of bad food, not sure what was wrong with the meal but something was off. Have not been able to speak directly with management about this due to unanswered calls and being hung up when asking for management. Will not plan to try again in the future. read more

This is a small diner like place. Our waitress was very helpful with all the things on the menu. We were there for breakfast so my husband ordered the juevos rancheros with refried beans and bacon with corn tortillas. I ordered 2 eggs over easy with hash browns, sausage patties and biscuits with gravy. We enjoyed everything. The prices were great for what we ate! We will be coming back soon for lunch or dinner! I can't wait!! read more

The food and service is great!! Very nice place very clean and very cheerful staff!! Highly recommend!! read more

This is a small location with very friendly service. It is a local country café that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner at extremely reasonable prices. Mostly we saw were locals there. They had a huge Mexican menu, which was surprising and everything we ordered was very, very good. As appetizers, we ordered the mozzarella stick and cheese fries, which were good, even though they did not have marinara sauce for the sticks. My soon to be daughter-in-law, had the taco meat shell salad, which was awesome with the big mound of yummy taco meat. The only thing it probably needed was sour cream. My son ordered beef fajitas, which he loved, just note they do not come with shredded cheese. My husband ordered the grilled pork chops with rice and 2 kinds of beans and a side taco that was filled halfway through the shell with meat. They are extremely generous with their food. My mother-in-law had the frilled, smothered pork chops that came with fried and grilled pork chops with grilled onions and brown gravy. She had the grilled vegetables and fried okra. Their grilled vegetables looked amazing. It was zucchini, squash, and carrots. And I had the smothered , chicken with grilled onions and mushrooms, Swiss cheese and brown gravy, side salad (only lettuce and a tomato slice) and mashed potatoes. They do have a drive for pick up orders, which is going to be extremely convenient for us when we are bringing my mother-in-law dinner. read more

This cute cafe is definitely a hole in the wall/mom & pop! Very comfy & everyone minds their own. It didn't take long for one of the hosts to seat us, they were very respectful. You can tell the employees are always on good mode, they came to work! Our waiter was very calm, but he did mess up my father's order. He also forgot my father's coffee. Nothing crazy tho! Still enjoyed every bit of the food, the ambiance and the good customer service! You can pay with cash or card here! I will like to also say, VERY AFFORDABLE! Good food for a good price!(: read more

Country Cafe - Huevos Rancheros plate w/ a side of hash browns! - American Near Me - Irving, Texas

We have been looking for a convenient, moderately priced breakfast cafe, WITH good food. We think we have finally found it. After driving by Country Cafe countless time, I read reviews which were favorable and thought we'd give it a shot. We were pleasantly surprised. We came in late morning on a weekday and it was reasonably full with families and couples (not just workmen). The menu was extensive and very reasonable compared to the typical Irving breakfast choices. Finally, the food was very good and the servings were generous. Country Cafe is not fancy, the ambiance is old motel coffee shop, but that was OKAY with me. read more

This place is good if you don't want to cook your own breakfast and want a cheap meal. Service was nice but not crazy fast. You do get what you pay for. read more

Food great price big portions, staff sweet , mom and pop food. Not to fancy but worth it read more

I don't think this place qualifies as a hole in the wall. It's more the 1960's cafe that is so good it's still here. Hell, I think some of the customers that were there were from the 1960's. Yes, it's got the brown wood paneling we all remember. It's got the faded white drop ceiling that all cafe's from that time period still have. Most of the customers were old enough than Mikey and I fit right in! And they treated us just like family! The breakfast menu was big. I told her, bring me the everything plate! And she did! The food was delicious. Just as good as Grandma's, maybe better! Sorry Grandma! Everything, eggs, hash browns, biscuits and gravy, sausage was absolutely perfect. I was stuffed and pig out happy. Now, the good news. Our 2 meals together was less than $10. I was floored. That left room for a really big tip for a really good waitress. Thanks Country Cafe. We will be back! read more

So I saw some negative posts for this cafe but also positive posts too-so I thought I would try this cafe a try so very glad I did !! It is a family owned restaurant-and nothing fancy but a good cafe . I had the ham and cheeses omelet -with tomatoes,onion, and green peppers which very good and large.I loved the home fries-that were seasoned just right. Biscuits and gravy was also good- I could not believe how inexpensive my meal was considering the good out was and the large portions.I could not eat it all but I tried!! My waitress was excellent and checked on me several times throughout my meal filling my my coffee cup as needed- read more

Country Cafe - Ham and cheese omelet with home fries!!! And biscuit and gravy - American Near Me - Irving, Texas

Small venue with quaint decor but good hearty home styled food. Large portions for the price.

Good food, great prices, huge portions and awesome customer service. Will be back. Awesome place

I love this restaurant - I've been a transplant to the DFW for 8 years now and this place was one of the very first places that have kept me coming back! Great food, awesome friendly service, and consistent prices even after the pandemic and now the current state of the economy. The chicken fried steak with a biscuit and gravy used to be my go to...then I tried the migas and haven't ordered anything else for like the past 4 years. Please don't ever change country cafe, you're literally the best! read more

Accidentally found this new favorite spot while driving in Irving. Stopped by and was greeted by a very friendly guy named "Abel". What a great guy!! He explained everything to us --they have ALL YOU CAN EAT catfish on Saturday only $9.75!!! This place has some of the BEST prices I've ever seen! I had the chicken fried chicken with eggs, hash browns, biscuits and gravy for only $9.75!!! LORDY!!!! GOD sent me to this place because he knew I needed to eat that tender, moist chicken AND I needed to meet Abel For both my husband and I the food cost $28 we had drinks and coffee. read more

Food is always good, as is the service. Crowded at breakfast and lunch so be prepared to wait a bit. It's worth the wait.

My friend and I went to Country Cafe for lunch 12:30pm Sunday, the restaurant was about 2/3 capacity. The first waitress got our drink order, she brought sweet tea by mistake but promptly fixed it when she was asked. My friend ordered the vegetable plate and I ordered the 6 oz medium rare steak and 4 fried shrimp, mashed potatoes and Mac & cheese. The food was presented hot and order looked right. I proceeded and ate the shrimp and 2 bites of potatoes and steak. I noticed the portion of steak I was eating was fatty, but didn't realize until I was ready to eat the rest of the steak, it only had a border of meat and the rest was solid fat. when I told my friend, this is not ok, I told the waiter, he took my plate with my uneaten food, then came back and said all the steaks were like that. I was thinking, they would offer me something else, offer a different one, or at least comp the meal. The waitress came back after I called her over, she said that I had eaten half of the meal, and that I should have told her when it first came out. she was offering no option, I asked to speak to a manager, no one ever identified themselves as being the one in charge. She was going to only comp the steak, I told her when something like this happens it is not customary to argue with the customer, and usually the meal should be taken off the bill. I was not satisfied with the customer service, I would not choose to eat here again. I cannot imagine serving that piece of meat, or should I say, fat on a plate. Irving has so many better options, consider yourself warned. read more

To the people who keep describing this place as a 60s/70s establishment, are you daft? People come here to basic food served by friendly staff. The place has lots of regulars. Sorry, I'm still stumped on the 60s/70s references. Do people think this place is "retro" because there's no instagram appeal (or because the staff actually works/has a good attitude)? It's part of a chain of restaurants that operate out of no-frills spaces. Nothing vintage about it aside from maybe some of the buildings be older. And a diner? Who the heck thought this was a diner? DFW isn't known for its diners y'all. Food is mediocre. It's never claimed to be amazing. It's relatively cheap and filling food. Not cuisine. No frills. It's comfort food - "down home cooking" or whatever the heck that means these days. The biscuits aren't made from scratch. A lot of the food comes from Sams and the like. Not a complaint just facts. My family and I have been coming here for over ten years. Friendly service. No big deal really. My grandparents like it but IRDC it's just food. Four stars because it's consistently basic BUT that's A-OK because not every meal needs to be "cUiSinE for the gram." read more

Excellent food and huge servings. Staff was super friendly and the prices were great.

My grandparents and I came here to have dinner tonight...... they have a huge menu and everything sounded so good! I got the chicken fried steak and my grandparents got the catfish / shrimp combo. Everything was so good!! Nothing went to waste. Will defy be back very soon!!!!! read more

I ordered the country omelette with biscuits and gravy with sliced tomatoes on the side. (I like to put the sliced tomato on my biscuit and gravy.) I knew when I got my order that I wouldn't finish it, so I went tactical. What saves easier? The omelette of course. So I ate my biscuits with tomatoes and gravy and had a few bites of the omelette. Everything was very fresh and delicious. I haven't paid my bill yet, but the prices on the menu ran 2-3 dollars less per item than what I am used to seeing. I noticed they had some Mexican dishes on the menu. I think that may be my next meal at the Southern Cafe. It is worth the little extra drive. read more

Liver and onions was fantastic!! Chicken fry was very tasty, great atmosphere and friendly staff!!

Great old school, 60s/70s style diner. Nice family-run business. Had a great breakfast. Reasonably priced. I look forward to going again soon. read more

5 stars for the value. Better than IHOP but half the cost. As soon as I find a nice Spanish speaking girlfriend over 40 years old and under 52. I am going to take her there to eat. read more

Very sketchy place. Right next to a very low motel. Orange juice tasted and smelled bad. Biscuits are bought and just heated in an oven/microwave. Omelet and hash browns were ok. Would not feel safe at night to be truthful. read more

Love this place. It's a little hole in the wall and yes maybe some of the food isn't from scratch but it's still good

The breakfast was ok I asked for soft scrambled egg but they wasn't. Would I recommend it not really but it's ok it's not the worst I had but not for me, read more

Note: As of April 2, 2022, they raised the prices. The Senior menu is now $6.95 (was $5.95), and the daily specials are more expensive. My meal was over $11 and I had the special and water. They also started charging for a to go container. I won't be back. They are now too expensive. read more

First time trying this place since it re-opened with the new ownership. Service was stellar and the food was delicious. Overall, prices were fair. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for decent food at a reasonable price. read more

Old school breakfast place at a very affordable price. This is a very popular place in Irving, Texas close to the old Cowboys stadium location. This place takes you back in time to a place where cooking breakfast was more of a loving art. read more

Country Cafe - Kid you not, CFS as big as my head. I never order this and glad it was good! - American Near Me - Irving, Texas

The food was great. The place is small and a bit of a hole in the wall, but they were packed and still they managed to have enough staff to continually check on us. The portions were perfect size. The biscuits and grave was good, food tasted fresh. Had eggs over medium, bacon, hash Browns and toast. My daughter had the French toast platter with eggs, and sausage. Would definitely eat there again. They are working on renovations and had only one bathroom to be used by men and women so we had to take turns. read more

Love this place! Huge portions and low prices. Been here multiple times and it's consistently good quality. Try the breakfast tacos, and the country potatoes. You won't be disappointed read more

Stopped here for breakfast with with friends because it was close to where everyone was staying. The place is dated and seemed to need a refresh but the service was good and the food was hot and tasty. As far as breakfast goes, if you just need a quick bite this is a place that seems to be a place to consider. Easy on and off to 183 makes it nice too. read more

Great spot for home cooked meals at a decent price, some items you have to add seasoning but all in all it's not bad.

Really good breakfast in a homey atmosphere. Wait staff very responsive, order up quickly, and exactly as ordered. Grits are outstanding - and some of the best bacon I've had in quite a while. Nice local find and will be back. read more
