It was our first time in and the place is a nice little diner with Texas decor and a country diner vibe. The service was good and very friendly. I ordered the Rockwallian which was hash browns biscuits and chicken fried steak topped with over easy eggs and gravy, it also came with a pancake. It was pretty good but the hashbrowns and chicken fried steak lacked seasoning and I don't enjoy eating bland food and the pancake was pretty good. My only other complaint is $10 for a large glass of orange juice is kinda ridiculous. The food could be a little better but the salt on the table helped. Check this place out if you're in the Rockwall area. read more

Lonestar 66 Cafe - The Rockwallian - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Breakfast was amazing letter. Easy in easy out of 66 in Rockwall. Staff was great. Hometown style facility, drop in and give them a try.

Lonestar 66 Café has quickly become one of our favorite spots in Rockwall. The atmosphere is awesome -- very homey and welcoming, and you can tell there are a lot of regulars who come in daily. The food is always great and comes out quick. My kids absolutely love the pancakes, and I've yet to order something I didn't enjoy. We've officially made this one of our staple spots and now visit a few times a month. Great food and a great local vibe. read more

Well....sometimes they are great and sometimes not. Rags were cooked incorrectly. Over medium is whites are done and yellow is still runny. Not crispy around the edges or burnt on one side. Even if explained they don't understand it. Sausage for some reason is precooked. Not as good. The hash browns were perfect! Pancakes were good but not up to usual standards. I really like this place but wish they would be more consistent with quality and food prep. read more

5 Stars - Small Town Charm, Big Time Comfort Food Walking into Lonestar 66 Café feels like stepping into your grandma's kitchen--if your grandma had a knack for deep-frying zucchini to perfection and making biscuits that taste like a warm hug. Also, if your grandma was surrounded by a bunch of bearded men who look like they just finished chopping wood but are actually here for pancakes. We rolled in on a Saturday morning, a party of four, ready to conquer breakfast like true weekend warriors. The place has that cozy, small-town feel where you half expect to see a cowboy sipping coffee and debating the weather with a neighbor. And every single man in there? Rocking a strong, manly beard. We're talking full, glorious beards that say, "I could build a log cabin before lunch, but right now I'm just here for some French toast." Now, the food: Fried Zucchini - Absolute perfection. The breading-to-veggie ratio was so on point that even my husband, who avoids fried food like it's his ex, actually liked them. If you typically enjoy fried zucchini, don't hesitate--just order it. Chicken Strips - Solid, good quality, but in hindsight, I wish I had branched out more. Not that they were bad--just a missed opportunity for more deliciousness. (Rookie mistake on my end.) Pancakes - Cute and delicious. Yes, I'm calling pancakes cute. They just had that fluffy, golden-brown, "take a picture before you eat me" vibe. French Toast with Bacon & Butter - No notes. Perfection. Side Salad with Ranch - The ranch deserves its own fan club. I'd dip my fingers in it if no one was watching. Hash Browns, Eggs, Biscuits - All the breakfast staples done right. But the biscuits? Oh, honey. They are the fluffy, buttery stuff of dreams. If I could legally marry a biscuit, I'd be sending out wedding invitations. The staff was super friendly and took great care of us--like that nice aunt who always makes sure your plate is full at family gatherings. Bottom line: We're already planning our next visit because there's so much more to try. If you love good food, great service, and biscuits that could solve world problems--and if you appreciate a solid beard--get yourself to Lonestar 66 Café ASAP. read more

Let me just say....their cinnamon pancakes were perhaps one of the BEST things I have ever eaten. Absolutely genius mix of pancake and a cinammon rolls. And, BTW....the brisket omelet was great too. read more

We loved Lonestar so much we visited it twice while in Rockwall for the weekend. The southern charm of the staff, ambiance, and food was perfection! The cinnamon pancake was amazing and my husbands omelette was stuffed full of the extras. The staff were all very friendly! Will definitely visit again. read more

Got the ultimate berry waffle. It was covered in strawberry sauce and sugar icing. Unbearably sweet. The breakfast burrito was also tasteless and small compared to others we've had. No sides offered with any dishes. Way overpriced. Better breakfast options in the area. Customer service was fine but online orders were not received so had to wait longer. read more

My wife and I REALLY wanted to like this place. We heard good things about it. When we showed up, it was really crowded and had a really nice "local" vibe. The staff was very friendly, and the service was quick. The problems were with the food. While the portions were huge, nothing tasted good at all. My omelet was greasy, the pancakes were gummy, and the upsell maple syrup tasted more like some bargain brand syrup that never saw the inside of a tree. The good news is the OJ was freshly squeezed, and for $9 a glass that's what I would expect. My wife was equally unimpressed with her meal, and I'll leave it for her to tell you about it in her review. read more

Great place to eat. Been a while. Before I retired we would come in for breakfast before going out to the job site. Retired 7 years ago but still has great food and great staff. Only problem was the very loud Hispanic music booming from the kitchen. read more

The people and the food are great... best tasting cup of coffee I had all day ............

Drove by this place a million times but never stopped. My loss. Wife and I went twice last week for breakfast. Had something different each time and both were really good, plate was full of food too! Coffee pretty decent as well. The staff is very friendly but also move right along, not seated long before a greeting and drink order. It's sorta old timey but not, nothing special other than being clean. We look forward to going again soon read more

I saw this new place on Yelp in old Rockwall. The reviews have been good and I see why. We arrived after lunch for a late breakfast. We were seated with care and our waitress made sure we had a clean table before hand. My wife had coffee and the Texas Breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage & pancakes. Nothing crazy mind you but it was all cooked just right. I had the Texas omelet, add jalapeños with grits and toast which I enjoyed very much. Our waitress Amber did a great job! We'll be back as the menu covers all the mealtimes and we feel like we found a burgeoning jewel! read more

We went on a Sunday at 8:30 and it was perfect. No wait but just started to get busy. The people were so nice and you could tell they enjoyed being there. It's a big but small place and very nice. The food was fantastic and we got it super quick. The meat lovers omelette was so full of meat like crazy full it's totally worth it. The avocado toast was nice and fresh. Definitely a place you should try for breakfast read more

Very busy on early Sunday morning, and very popular after Church services. The Lone Star 66 Cafe survived the lock downs to become a Rockwall Hotspot for dining. All types of food here: Southern, Texas, Tex-Mex, or "Healthy Ideas". Hmmm.. what wasn't healthy? So, I tried the Health Olympic Scrambler omelet about 10 days ago, and it was a light, Fluffy, and tasty breakfast, not a hint of grease. Today, I chose to test the kitchen by ordering the Salmon Eggs Benedict, and the passes with flying colors! The Salmon filet slices were more generous than I had imagened. The Hollandaise sauce had good flavor & texture. The Lone Star 66 Cafe in Rockwall, TX knows their business. I'm full, and I'm happy. read more

our server Kelly made sure our order was done correctly and took the time to ask questions about our food so she knew it was done right, this is by far the best service I've had eating in restaurants the place is fairly big and has an amazing atmosphere, I love the way the tables are setup. As for the food it was unbelievable I got a breakfast burrito made a certain way that wasn't on the menu and they were still able to do it my wife had some egg whites and turkey bacon and she said they were "bussin" im definitely going to be coming back in the future for more amazing food with a great atmosphere read more

Cool spot to have nice breakfast or lunch in the downtown area. Will bring the family here

Good food, excellent service, and a relaxing setting. I had the Chicken Fried Steak, and it was good & clearly homemade, but I prefer a bit more seasoning on the meat. My wife had the Philly Cheese Steak and loved it. Definitely going back read more

Great breakfast selection. Omelets are the bomb though! Hash browns have that 'down home' taste, especially when you order them extra crispy.. read more

First let's get something right, Rockwall. This is NOT "Route 66 Classic Diner". They are not "reopened". This is not the same restaurant. This is not the same owner. The only association of any kind that "LoneStar 66 Cafe" and the former "Route 66 Classic Diner" have is that both businesses have served scrambled eggs at the same address. All new restaurant. All new owner. All new menu. All new approach to cooking and ingredients. Same great location just off the square on 66. Newcomer to the Rockwall Resturant scene Arzi Od is no stranger to the restaurant industry, she has been involved for more than 20 years and comes from a family of restauranteurs with vast knowledge and experience. She insists that she does things the old fashioned way, getting to the restaurant each day at 2am to begin making batter, mixes, sauces and even the salsa they serve. "We make just about everything we can from scratch" she proudly told me on my recent visit. "And I don't use the cheap stuff either, I get the real butter, the real syrup, the real cream. All my stuffs gotta be the real stuff, you can taste the difference." And I have to agree with her. I was blown away. Having been to the previous restaurant here, it's obvious that months of work and a lot of money have gone into opening this place. You have to admire anyone willing to do a grand opening in the middle of the pandemic, but some people thrive on a challenge and follow their gut. "I'll never forget coming over the 66 bridge and into Rockwall for the first time" Arzi told me. "Maybe this is weird to explain, but I immediately felt like I had come home. There was an instant connection. I knew I had to build my business here." Arzi actually started LoneStar 66 Cafe earlier in the year, in Plano, but shutdown the location at the onset of the pandemic and was able to essentially move the concept to Rockwall where the premise of her business could be much better received. Judging by our experience, this was the right call. The menu is jam packed with breakfast and lunch favorites, including gluten free waffles, farm fresh eggs and genuine pure maple syrup. There are even items named after locals and surprisingly, even shockingly, after the facebook group "Rockwallian" which is pictured. The Rockwallian Skillet is basically a breakfast mashup, with hash browns, eggs, cheese, biscuits and gravy and even a fresh battered chicken fried steak on top. It was heavenly. Absolutely amazing with near perfect texture and taste. This is as good as you could hope to find. But there was one more shocker. The pancake. Somehow, the pancake was firm on the outside and spongy and light on the inside, like an actual cake. This pancake had the ultimate texture and sweetness balance, bordering on something you'd expect at the state fair. This was not just good, this was ridiculous. I've never had a better pancake. The service was superb, I got approximately 47 coffee refills, and I appreciated the sugar and creamer on the table for quick mixing. They even had the large, glass sugar dispenser like we used to always see on tables back in the day. I nearly forgot about them. All together, I think this is out of the gate a strong contender for "best breakfast restaurant in Rockwall" and that's saying something, considering the rapidly growing list of terrific options we have here. It's a good time to get up early. Arzi is a welcomed addition to the area food scene, and will certainly be embraced as one of our own immediately. She even found three of the former waitresses and offered to let them work at her new restaurant, a connection to the former business that is no more. Highly recommended for a traditional, high quality breakfast. **I was not compensated, discounted or asked to write this review and do so at my own discretion and without objective of benefit for myself.** read more

The food was overall good not great. Got biscuits and sausage gravy. Only had 4 little chunks of sausage for 2 heavy biscuits. Got the hash browns as side and were over crispy. Other meal was 2 eggs, sausage, grits and toast. Eggs were asked for sunny side up but the whites were barely cooked. The sausage patties were raw in the middle. They did replace. The grits had no flavor. Had to add lots of salt and butter. After that, they were average. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable read more

They have something for everyone on the menu. We went for brunch. They were very busy Sunday morning, despite the Cowboys game (which was surprising as they didn't have the game on). We still got in within about 15 minutes with our party of six. I was still so full from all the meals over the past four days that I just had one biscuit with some gravy (which was delicious), but everyone was very happy with their order. The eggs Benedict looked pretty amazing. Service was quick, and our server was very patient and polite despite every table in the whole place being full. Obviously a local favorite. Not fancy. Just great food. Very reasonable prices. And they have UN-sweet tea, which I learned isn't that easy to find in TX. Give this place a try! read more

This restaurant will be a weekend hit! Food was excellent and came out quick. Owner was walking around, introducing herself and making sure everyone was doing well. Staff was attentive and quick to refill drinks. There are lots of menu options for breakfast and lunch. We will be returning to try more options. We ordered the Texas omelette and the chicken fried steak, both came with hash browns and we also got a chocolate chip pancake (which were cooked perfectly). read more

My husband was driving thru after meeting with a client. He was hungry and was looking for some good food that wasn't fast food, so I found him Lonestar 66. He said everyone was really nice and that the manager even came over and sat with him when he first came in and chatted for a bit. He loves chicken fried steak so of course that's what he ordered! He loved it, wasn't overly breaded and good taste. Thank you Lonestar 66 for great service and delicious food- we'll be back! read more
