The restaurant is set inside an old train car, which is just really cool and different. The hamburgers are always spot on -- juicy and full of flavor -- and I can't pass up the Reuben. It's perfectly toasted with plenty of meat and just tastes great every single time. The service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the stop even better. It's become a tradition for us, and it never disappoints. If you're anywhere near Brownwood, it's definitely worth pulling off the road for.

DELICIOUS! I actually heard about this place from a Reddit post about places to stop on a road trip…read moreacross Texas and I'm so glad I listened! It's home cooked food, calories-not-monitored, but worth every single bite. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I knew it was going to be good when we saw the parking lot was overflowing into the grass. Luckily there was still an open table inside and we were welcomed by the sweetest staff and our waitress was just as wonderful. So many things looked good on the menu, but I couldn't resist ending this road trip with another taste of chicken fried steak to compare to Mary's (and they can definitely compete because it was AWESOME)! We also tried the chicken fried chicken (delicious), sweet potato casserole (amazing), Mae's potato casserole (tasty), cheese sticks (good), and the hamburger and fries which was obviously delicious enough that my picky daughter almost finished it - which says a LOT! We were very glad that we'd ordered the "smaller portions" for lunch because it meant we could grab a few of the desserts to go to snack on for our final leg of the road trip and keep enjoying at home. We tried the toffee cake (incredible), peanut butter cake (sinfully good), and the coconut pie (very light and creamy)! We also snagged some items to take home with us from their coolers and I can 100% recommend their pork tamales and summer sausage. If you get the chance to stop here, you won't regret it at all! Delicious, great service, and good portions!

Our server came over right away, took our sink order, & suggested the daily special. They were almost out so she said she'd put us down for that, if we ordered right away. We ordered onion rings to start. Very crispy & tasty! Ranch dressing was really good! I had the special. It was yummy, but the mashed potatoes came out cold. I sent them back & they were piping hot. The fried okra was well-browned & had a good taste. My hubby had hamburger steak, mashed potatoes, green beans, & a roll. Everything tasted really good to him.

There were a lot more people seeking nourishment than would have been on a typical Saturday. So when I say the service was a little slow, I have to add the caveat that I don't think City Center was ready for the invasion. Center City is in an ancient and historic building. The seating is bare bones. They have something going for them. The other go-to American breakfast restaurant closed its doors. The food was what I expected. It was tasty without imagination. Sometimes that is exactly what a traveler is looking for. The bill? It was reasonable. It was the exact amount that the meal was worth. I have to be honest; I can't shout the excellence of this cafe. I can say you get what you pay for. If I were traveling to or through Comance, I wouldn't hesitate to grab breakfast there. I can't speak to the dinner menu. I'm sure it would be more of the same.

This is not a baked potato. This is a full-blown Texas barbecue masterpiece stuffed into a potato…read moreskin. A perfectly baked russet, split open and swimming in melted butter. Then comes a generous layer of savory beans, followed by a mountain of tender, smoky chopped brisket that falls apart with every bite. A rich, tangy barbecue sauce soaks into everything, while crisp pickles cut through the richness with the perfect bright snap. Cool sour cream and a blanket of shredded cheese melt into the hot toppings, tying the whole thing together in pure comfort food glory. Every component hits exactly right. It is smoky, savory, creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of sauce without a single note out of place. It's massive, messy in the best way, and so ridiculously delicious you'll be scraping the skin clean and still wishing there was more. Do yourself a favor and get there early. This potato and their barbecue are the real deal. They have amazing customer service, too!
