Deliciousness! A woman in one of the stores recommended this place for lunch. I had the quiche, baked potato salad, and broccoli cheddar soup. Everything was amazing! The dad's homemade pies were also excellent!

Combo (half chicken sandwich & quiche)

What a cute shop/restaurant! The restaurant is located at the back of the shop and the whole set up is really fun. The menu is a bit limited but the quality of what we got leads me to believe that they do their few items very, very well. What we got: Combo - half a sandwich (chicken sandwich) & quiche - 5* all around. It was delicious and filling. The quiche crust was homemade and phenomenal.

Hank with his delicious hand pies!

Lovejoy's on Main is a great place to visit. I took my Oregon relatives to grab desserts on the way to the airport. Our party of 7 tried and shared 7 different treats. Among the decadent desserts sampled were carrot cake, German chocolate cake, brownie sundae, and chess pie. ALL were yummy! This place can't be beat. The owner, Hank, talented dessert- maker and a legendary good guy in Whitesboro! He alone is worth the visit! Addison, grandson and soda jerk, has an amazing personality and handled our orders with ease! Everything about this place is great!

Spinach strawberries salad chicken salad on croissant and of course carrot cake.  I definitely will be back.

The food was awesome, fast and great service, during the Peanut festival at that. The servers and cooks did a fantastic job on serving the huge amount of people. You all worked like a well oiled machine.

Tomato Bisque, GF chicken sandwich, potato chips with a pickle wedge.

Whitesboro, Texas is hometown Americana! Lovejoy's from the outside looks like a gift shop, but in the back it opens up to a wonderful warm inviting cafe with an old fashioned soda fountain. I happened to go during Thanksgiving weekend so the menu was limited but the food was great. I had a tomato bisque with chicken salad. I was informed that they had gluten free rolls so I chose a sandwich which was overflowing with chicken salad. Everything was delicious including the peach mango iced tea. My waitress was absolutely awesome but I confess I am partial because I gave birth to her, but I watched her with other customers as she helped them with choices and asked how they enjoyed their food. She makes her Mama proud. All the staff was very friendly and after my lunch my daughter pointed out a few things in the gift shop that my granddaughter's had their eyes on, so I did a little shopping as well. I was surprised how busy they were on the Saturday after Thanksgiving but my daughter explained they had a shop local day going on. Each of the stores on Main Street had a small gift for everyone who walked in their store as well as sales going on. Downtown Whitesboro was hopping with shoppers. I love the small towns in Texas they remind me of a time back in the 50's when life was simple and I love that they continue to keep the atmosphere to attract people.

Fell in love with the beautiful mugs

My mom and I ate here on 3-25-26 11:00 am (i failed to add a review)…read more We met a friend who lives in the area. The inside is nice. It's a county style setting/diner type and was very clean. Restroom was clean. We had one of the lunch specials. Meatloaf, cabbage, mash potatoes and I can't remember the other vegetable. It also came with peach cobbler. And 3 teas. Service was great and the food was excellent. I'm pretty picky about meatloaf but it was really good. It did need a little more juice topping. I kinda like my meatloaf a little more moist but that's me. The flavor was really good. Everything was good. The price was great for the amount of food. Mom and I also purchased their homemade fried pies. I bought Apricot and Cherry with crème. We took those home. They were both awesome. We live over an hour away but I would return for lunch or dinner!!

NOPE, don't do it. Service here is the WORST EVER. This restaurant is north of Hwy 82 (Texas) off…read moreof Hwy 377 on the way to Lake Texoma. About 10 miles before you reach Lake Texoma and Megastar Casino. We stopped for breakfast on Saturday morning, September 19, 2026 @ 10am. Took forever to get waited on (about 20 minutes). Then waited for over an hour to receive food, as did 12 other customers in the restaurant that were there before we arrived. An older female employee with short light brown hair (about 60) kept refilling my coffee and apologizing for the slow service (as if this was not typical). I mentioned to her "Yeah, you must have a serious problem with the cooks in the kitchen." She laughed it off. Food finally arrived 1 hour later. Food was decent, nothing spectacular. Had to ask for the check. Went up to pay. The young male (about 16) at the register gave off a vibe that we were inconveniencing him. I asked for a discount since we had to wait so long. He responded with "There is no discount." I asked him to check with the manager. With irritated body language he walked away to ask a manager if we could receive a discount for our long wait time. He came back and said no discount. My husband asked to speak to a manager. A female employee came out to speak with my husband. She told him, RUDLY, there is no discount, there is no manager on duty, and the customers don't mind waiting. She acted as if how dare we ask for a discount for over an hour wait to receive food. He looked her in the face and said "We won't be back EVER, your customer service SUCKS, and we will be writing a YELP review." I find it hard to believe there was no manager on duty and they are running this restaurant like the wild wild west.

I am so happy that I found the Magnolia Cafe in Durant, Oklahoma! This is the best run cafe I have…read morebeen to in a long time! The manager, Chris stays right up front and is a real hands on style manager. He makes sure that the customers are well taken care of by the wait staff( who are all friendly and knowledgeable as well as hard working). The decor is attractive and spotlessly maintained. The kitchen staff gets the food out very promptly and the bacon, eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gravy were all cooked and seasoned to perfection! Everything was so good that I drove through a flooding deluge of rain and lightning to eat there the next morning! Chris remembered me(after only one visit) and greeted me by name! I will definitely be eating here on every trip I make to Durant!

We arrived and got seated, the waitress was plenty friendly, made suggestions, made sure coffee cups stayed refreshed. However the food just seemed to be lacking. We ordered the biscuits and gravy and literally it was a biscuit with white gravy no sausage or seasoning that could be tasted. I had specifically asked that the hashbrowns be cooked crispy. However what was served was far from that. The skillets were more like a scramble. The creamer container was filthy where the server ended up taking the container from the table. We were asked if we wanted to go containers which we declined. It just didn't meet our expectations based off the reviews we had read nor the recommendations given to us, to which we left disappointed. We can put this on the been there, done that list.

The White Rabbit is a little hidden treasure, tucked away in rustic downtown Sherman, TX. It's not…read morethat far from the Oklahoma border, although some might consider it a far-flung exurb of Dallas. I honestly had trouble finding the place and nearly gave up. I'm glad I stuck with it and checked around the corner - that's where I found a super steep staircase leading to a magical coffeeshop space. The second floor has it all: creaky wooden floors, broad sunny windows, exposed brick walls, high ceilings, a counter full of quirky merchandise including stickers, jewelry, bookmarks and more. There's a rack of curated vintage clothes and a bookcase wall. So - the setting is amazing and this would be the perfect place to meet a friend, or settle in for an afternoon and get some work done. The menu is seasonal - I tried a latte and my friend tried an iced matcha - both were delicious! Really glad I took the time to check out this unique spot.

First time here, so I'll definitely update when/if I can return…read more First impression: uber cute decor, I love all the plants, there are books, children's books, and the bathroom is serene. Free water and bottomless coffee refill in the corner. They sell balms, stickers, clothes, and more. Prices are a little steep, especially with a farmers market across the street, but options are always a good thing. I ordered a large latte. The menu states flavors are an extra .50 in the menu book, but I was charged $1. (Just an observation that the prices may not be correct on yeh menu book) They ask for tips, but I wouldn't. They don't clean up, you take your cups and plates to the trash area. We ordered the tacos. It did take 25 minutes to get it and it was not busy. Our coffee was ready pretty quickly. I presume (wild guess) that the food fixer dude is not good with multi tasking, or his desire to serve is lacking. Anyways, the serving size was good! The tacos were warm on top, but the eggs were cold on bottom. Plus they really had no flavor. My latte was warm at best and the coffee was not strong? I would suggest switching brands. The hot cocoa my husband got WAS delicious and stayed hot in the travel cup... so maybe that would help in the latte arena. The coffee server was by far very friendly. Thank you for Truly not being ugly, just an honest review. If I come back will try a coffee and a food item to see if it improved.
