Deb's Downtown Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Longview, Texas

Just crossed this cafe off of my list, which I have been looking forward to for some time. Pros: - No wait - Great service - Reasonably Priced - Meaty sandwiches Cons: - Sandwiches are good, but aren't great. Cheap bread, cheap sides, mediocre soup. This is a fun spot. Will certainly come back, I'm just not expecting out of this world food. read more

Can't remember what I ordered here, but I do remember I really liked the food, it was reasonably priced and didn't take long to get.

My friend and I schedule a lunch monthly and try to always go to a place neither of us has been to (or haven't been to in years) and this past month, Deb's was our choice. We arrived minutes after opening and there was only one other table filled but by 11:45, the stream of professionally dressed diners was steady and continued for the whole time we were there. Take out business also appeared brisk. Despite the fact that business was good, our orders arrived quickly, our water glasses stayed filled and Deb came by to check on us regularly. I ordered the salad trio and the pasta salad was excellent, the fresh fruit was fine and given the fact that it was winter, that wasn't too surprising. However, the chicken salad was a bit bland. My friend ordered the day's special-chicken spaghetti-and she loved it. But she might have been more impressed with the homemade balsamic dressing. Overall, I would highly recommend Deb's Downton Cafe if you are headed towards that area of Longview around lunchtime. read more

The best food and staff!!! Love this place! Best to get there early before they run out of food! read more

Great local spot. Cooked with love. The nutty bird was exceptional and the homemade chocolate pie was delicious. read more

Deb's Downtown Cafe - Chocolate pie (homemade) - Cafes Near Me - Longview, Texas

Nutty bird is the best! Always great service dining in and to go! The jalapeño cheddar soup is great too!

The mesquite smoked chicken salad was awesome. This is a hometown, home cooked diner in the heart of downtown Longview. Deb weathered the Covid storm and stayed in business, now it's back to normal read more

I wish I could give this place 100 stars!!!! EVERYTHING is amazing! Chicken salad is yummy! My husbands favorite is the Turkey wrap and mine is hands down the Nutty Bird sandwich!!!! But let me just tell you their jalapeño soap is out if this world!!! Super clean and the staff rocks!! Debs will ALWAYS have our business! read more

Great food and quick service. Will definitely be going again. The veggie wrap was amazing!

Delicious place for lunch. The owner was so helpful and her recommendations were great. The reuben and nutty bird are both outstanding. So good to find great places downtown Longview. It was busy. read more

Spacious downtown sandwich & soup spot. Great sandwiches, delicious soups! Friendly, fast sit-down service.

Went here for lunch. I ordered the Reuben and the sandwich was smaller than expected. I went again and got the smoked turkey sandwich and the portion was moderate. Maybe I'm just used to the over-sized sandwiches available in Houston and I'm a glutton. The decor is pretty bland, nothing too spectacular. It was clean though, which is really all anyone needs. Service is great here at Deb's. Drinks were always filled, and waitresses were very nice and pleasant. read more

This was a take this place off our list type day. JG score of 3/10 this visit for our scale (+2 for the Nutty bird and the chocolate pie, 0 for atmosphere, +1 for price, 0 for no Diet Dr Pepper, 0 for typical service and 0 for we probably won't return) The Nutty Bird was great. We had heard about this sandwich. Turkey, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, bean sprouts, etc....simple yet delicious. The chocolate pie was top notch too....the best we have had in a long time. The cheeseburger was good but not standout. The pie had a compressed type crust and chocolate drizzled all over it = delicious. The atmosphere was very, very loud. That alone makes it hard to have a good lunch here if it is busy. This is a smaller building downtown. The price was under $15....or would have been. We had an anonymous nice old couple buy our lunch for us. No Diet Dr Pepper, only Diet Coke. The service was very rushed= they were totally full at lunch, it is understandable. We probably won't go back. Not because of the food though. If we worked around that area, we would go back. read more

I've always liked Deb's and I called in my order and picked it up today. It was just as delicious as the last time I was there, which was a few years ago. Limited menu, but everything I've ever had was wonderful. I tried the raspberry cookie today and It was wonderful! read more

My favorite lunch restaurant. I just wish they were open on weekends, but I don't blame them for enjoying the weekend themselves. My favorite is the chicken wrap. Also enjoy the BLT and Nutty Bird. They have tasty sounding daily specials written on a chalkboard on the wall. Have seen these range from soups to salads to burgers to "healthy plates". Pricing is great for lunch. ~8/person before tax/tip. Pay at the counter. Dessert always looks awesome. Seems to be something different every time. I go every chance I get! read more

Finally made it to Deb's this week. Their hours are tricky, not being open on weekends. I loved it so much I went back the next day! Went with a group of 8. We arrived at 11:30 and the restaurant was fairly empty but people poured in shortly thereafter. Get here early! Not much available parking right out front but plenty of side street action just a short walk away. The space is very loud, so conversation was strained. This wouldn't be a problem with a smaller group, though. They had a soup special, 2 salad specials, a hamburger and a healthy chicken dish on the chalkboard. Menu itself is on the shorter side but plenty of variety. I ordered the chicken wrap with fruit ($7.50). The wrap came with a red (tomato/herb?) tortilla stuffed with warm grilled chicken, melted white cheese, roasted red peppers and spinach. I loved it enough to order it to-go again today. Others at my table had good looking meals too. The chicken salad sandwich looked awesome, as did the meatball sandwich. The tomato basil soup looked heavenly, but came in a small bowl. Would like to return to try more. You pay at the register up front. They had no problem letting us pay separate even though we were on one ticket. There's an assortment of yummy looking desserts in the display case while you're up there. Can't wait to return! read more

The best tomato basil soup !! They have a nice little place with the nicest hostess/waitresses. I have been there only twice ( recommended by a good friend ). I will keep for my back and I refer everyone to debs. read more

I had a Reuben sandwich that was excellent! They have an interesting and fresh menu which is so tempting. The waitress is friendly and efficient. They bend over to accommodate you. One of my friends wanted a fruit salad but didn't like melon so they picked out the melon from the fruit salad. So customer friendly! read more

I got the Nutty Bird sandwich with pasta salad, and it was delicious! The people were so nice, and we were in and out so quickly. I would definitely go back! read more

Great little sandwich place for place if you happen to be downtown. Menu is limited but everything I have ever tried is good. They are also fast if you need to get in and out during a lunch hour. I always enjoy the turkey wrap or the daily special. read more

I always enjoy Deb's. The best sandwich on the menu is the Nutty Bird for sure! Eating in is great, but calling in your order is also easy too! read more

Love this place. Good food. Good people. Always see someone you know as lots of downtown folks come in each day.

Good menu, good service, fast service. I ordered the BLT Sandwich with potato salad. It wasn't a big meal, but it was plenty of food and definitely worth the price. read more

I get the same menu item each time I visit, so obviously I usually like the tuna salad sandwich with basil tomato soup. Today, it was egg salad. I complained, and was told there is always eggs in it. I guess I got the eggs for the entire batch in my one sandwich. I threw it away in front of them, but the item wasn't taken off my ticket. I ate most of the 1/2 of sandwich, and charging me for that would have been fair. It's gone downhill. read more

The chicken salad and pasta from Deb's is pretty Amazing. Taylor is super sweet too! I call and place a to go order and she is very pleasant over the phone. Good people!!! Good food!!! read more

LOVED this place! Hometown style cafe with the most delicious food!! We had the Ruben and the Nutty Bird. Both were absolutely delicious. The service is fast and friendly, and the restaurant was clean ("A" rated, too!). We can't wait to go back. read more

I absolutely adore this place and have been eating there on a regular basis since I moved to Longview in August 2010. The walls are painted to make you feel like you're eating in an outdoor garden- I love the murals! Each table has a different color or pattern table cloth which also adds character. The have great hot plate specials and their chicken salad is amazing! I also love the veggie wrap for something different and the tomato basil soup is soooo delicious! Deb's is very affordable and is a cute, fun place with great homemade food. A favorite lunch spot here in downtown Longview! read more

Just can't tell you how many times I had lunch here. For a while it was almost every day and it's just one block from the county court house. Their lunch specials are different everyday. Sandwiches and what I call a blue plate special are the feeds of the day. Homemade deserts as well. Deb is truly one of a kind young lady. You Go Gir.l! read more
