See all

The food is always good and the service is great. Today had Peach Bread Pudding with Homemade Carmel Sauce. Will be requesting that for sure! Nice folks working there and a place to visit with friends. read more

Food was decent. There's not a lot to choose from in the area and I didn't bring lunch with me so I ventured out to this place. It wasn't bad. It has a salad bar with limited toppings. It's not a BBQ place at all so the title fooled me. It has typical cafe food, burgers, fries, sandwiches, hot options, and then they do a special of the day. Service is ok. There was one guy doing everything...serving, cleaning, hosting, cashiering. I think there might have been another person in the back cooking but I could be wrong. The atmosphere was dark but I could see my food so that's all I really cared about. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping by. I have no regrets. read more

Lighthouse BBQ Cafe - Menu - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay City, Texas

It's hard to spot, but this restaurant is such a gem. The inside is clean, and the employees are welcoming with a warm smile. I ordered the patty melt with fries and my boyfriend ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The food was delicious! Although we were the only customers there at the time, our meals were still made perfectly and quickly. Now that we know where to find this place, we will continue to dine here when visiting Matagorda. (We forgot to take a picture of our food before, but here is one of when we finished clearing it off.) read more

Lighthouse BBQ Cafe - a half eaten pizza and half empty plates - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay City, Texas

Cute place! We came for breakfast. It was literally the only close place open for breakfast on a Monday near Matagorda (7 minutes away). Glad it was the only place because we didn't regret it. The wait for the food was a little long but well worth the wait. Husband had chicken fried steak with eggs and toast, very good! I had 2 eggs, grits, biscuit, and sausage. The sausage was a little over cooked but had great flavor. Coffee was yummy. We spent $44 for 5 people with drinks. As we left they were putting the lunch steam tables out. Smelled amazing! Steamed veggies, oven fried chicken, and many other items. We will be back! read more

Lighthouse BBQ Cafe - "Texas Trash" (small) breakfast platter. Yummy!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay City, Texas

The quality is very erratic. Sometimes good...last time was pretty questionable. We picked our order up at the location and could not find the employees at first. The girl who took payment seemed like she was either sick or really high on something. Our food was cold (we ordered breakfast items) and portions varied from one container to another. Our third visit in a row with marginal service. I do not plan on going back. read more

Excellent sliced BBQ sandwiches & service. Simply Outstanding Brisket, best we have had in a LONG time.

So delish! We have gone back and forth to Matagorda for years and always talked about stopping by and never have, until yesterday! So glad we did! Great hamburger and steak fingers with homemade chips and fries! Service was friendly and quick. Will be back! read more

GIGANTIC portions and great tasting. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area. Get the breakfast croissant or Texas Trash (hash), the ladder is best split with a partner. And the lady who took and then cooked our order was very nice, great southern hospitality. Food takes a little while to get bc it's a 1 person show but it is definitely worth the wait. read more

Awesome food, friendly staff, I would recommend the cheeseburger.... Awesome homemade burger

this place looks like a store; in front of an RV park and the front door is actually on the side... when you enter there is only 4 picnic type tables and two waitresses who are very friendly...the menu is basic but everything is good...we saw other folks ordering the Texas Trash but since we are watching our cholesterol levels we passed...but if you can take the hit try it you won't regret it....this is a great place for breakfast read more

We had both breakfast and lunch at Lighthouse. My wife had the Spanish Omelette,which was nothing short of the bomb diggity! Chock full of fresh veggies, it beat the holy hell out of any omelette IHOP or Denny's have to offer. I tore into a lb. of brisket, which was pretty awesome, but the side dish really did it for me. The fresh okra/tomato dish was wonderful I ate two of them actually! My mother had a grilled chicken breast that tasted like they killed the chicken as soon as she ordered. All of our food was noticeably fresh! Even better than the food was the service. The ladies were very polite, cordial, and never let our iced teas get under halfway full. I was with a party of 11 that spent all morning and pretty much all day in and out of the restaurant, and the service never wavered. I would definitely suggest this place to others. read more

The price for the size of the plate you get is absolutely amazing! My friend and I both ordered the Texas trash for $8.00. It was a huge plate full of sausage, bacon, hashbrowns, toast, two fried eggs, bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and white gravy. The coffee is great and ginormous as well. We definitely recommend this place for breakfast! read more

Good food, good prices, good friendly folks. I live near the restaurant and I eat there once in a while and get good BBQ & burgers to go quite a bit. The store next door has about anything a camper or someone on the way to the beach would need. read more

we live nearby and have eaten there on several occasions but the food and service have been on a downward slide . The last time we ordered food from them we got home to discover that our club sandwiches were burnt toast and burnt bacon and they put mustard on them and did not give us our fries . When I went back up there to talk to them about it all the wanted to do was argue . I will never go there again ! read more
