    No meat  in the cougar

    Ordered the "cougar" breakfast burrito. It says bacon,sausage and potatoes . You would think you're getting all ingredients ,but only get eggs and potatoes

    Chicken enchiladas

    The restaurant is close by my daughter's house so we got lunch there this afternoon. I had the Tacos al Pastor and my wife had chicken enchiladas. The Tacos al Pastor were dry but tasted ok. The sides, however, seemed like something you would get out of a can. The high point was actually the chips. I might eat here for convenience but nothing else.

    Chilies Rellenos so good

Thankfully, Yelp absolutely came through clutch (as it usually does) and led us to Our Breakfast Place. We intentionally tried to time things to beat the post-church crowd and I think we mostly succeeded... though there was still a little bit of a wait. Thankfully, this place is absolutely worth the wait! The restaurant was bustling and busy but still had a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. The menu was extensive with tons of tempting breakfast options, the prices were very reasonable to me, and the service was excellent from start to finish. Our waitress was so kind and friendly and even the women seated nearby struck up conversation with us while we waited for our food. It just had that warm, community-oriented breakfast spot vibe. I ordered the blueberry lemon pancakes which were a seasonal special and wow, they were fantastic. Sweet but not overly so, fluffy, flavorful, and the combo also came with an egg and I chose two slices of bacon. All delicious and certainly plenty filling. The coffee was strong too, which I greatly appreciated. All in all, this was a five-star breakfast experience and the kind of local spot I love discovering while traveling. If I'm ever back in Waco, I'd happily return.

The service is incredibly friendly and efficient. The food is stick to your ribs filling and tasty. The portion sizes are worthy of every Texas joke one can conjure up. Best of all, they make their own in-house Gluten Free pancakes and serve Arnold Palmer's with a carafe for at the table refills. I love this place!

Th menu has so many great options, so I went with the special, chicken fried chicken with white gravy, mashed potatoes, okra and toast. I am not a huge gravy person so got it on the side. The proportions were the perfect size, not too little and definitely not overwhelming. Everything was excellent and cooked to perfection. I had the sweet tea and it was wonderful as well. My co worker had the fish plate, she is a connoisseur of fish and said it was wonderful. The booths were a good size and customers are able to write with chalk paint pens to leave their mark. The environment was relaxing and fun at the same time. Although the space is smaller, the speed of service and the wonderful staff made it feel big. Will definitely return when I travel through Teague!

My godson ordered a breakfast sandwich, but just a heads-up: you build it yourself. Not a dealbreaker, but that's why it looks like somebody already went in on it in the photo. My cousin had the banana French toast, which looked so good that I came back and ordered French toast for myself the second time. And let me say this: the French toast is made in-house and it is SO freakin' good. Like, the bread itself is made in-house. Soft, thick, lightly sweet -- absolutely my favorite thing here. That alone could get its own fan club. The potatoes are solid too, especially if you get peppers and onions added like my cousin did -- definitely levels it up. The only thing to note is that a lot of dishes don't come with sides automatically. If you want eggs, bacon, etc., you'll have to add them separately. Not a bad thing, just something to know so you're not surprised. Overall, the food is good, the homemade French toast is elite, and I'd go back again for breakfast without hesitation.
