    Mini exacta. (2 catfish, 2 shrimp, fries and coleslaw)

    My Wife, Son and I had a delicious lunch here yesterday. Once again we were HIGHLY IMPRESSED. The Catfish and Shrimp is always delicious and hot and fresh. The employees are always very kind and professional. Definitely a true Gem in the small (but ever growing) city of Taylor.

    A wonderful kitschy place to step back in time! Lucky Duck was a great meal for us after hopping around the Sweet Eats Berry Farm in Georgetown. We've been meaning to swing by and scope out Taylor with the growth of my husband's job building a new campus out here and the downtown vibes. The interior is gorgeous, a redone garage with great lighting to see Main Street traffic. My husband went for a veggie burger, I went for a seafood sampler basket and we shared the grilled zucchini! I highly recommend this side! It was so tender and seasoning is yum. Our toddler got the chicken tenders which came out piping hot and went for the fries. :) Can't go wrong with these safe staples for a hungry party. After we finished our meal, the reason for stopping by was the best. The ice cream shoppe inside is staffed by the same folks on the meal side. Pick out a bluebell ice cream scoop or two in a cup or cone and enjoy your sweet treat with the little ones! Can't wait to return when we're back around!

    Catfish here is delicious! And portions are great. Catfish is crispy, the way it should be -- and often missed at most places. Also has good seasoning. Fries are battered which is the best! Always crunchy. The pie thingy was good but not five star. Simple place with fantastic catfish. I will go back and try the chicken fried steak, which also looked really good.

    I was on a day trip, and stopped in the minute I saw it. I was so hungry! This is a casual burger joint but wow, my veggie burger and freshly made french fries were probably the best I have ever eaten. Along with a super large iced tea, of course. I got there about 11:30 a.m. and by noon, the crowd had grown. This is a popular place.

    This is the Exacta meal. Soooo good

    It was my first time coming here. The catfish is some of the best I've had. Also the southern chicken sandwich with the fried tomato was delicious. Atmosphere is laid back. Nothing fancy come as you are. I'm back today trying the shrimp PO BO'Y Highly recommend!

    Chicken Fried Steak burger. Tasty but tough. Fries are stellar!

    We came today for the first time and hate that we waited so long. 5 star experience. Makena was our…read moreserver and she was awesome. I will always ask for her when we dine there. I hope management sees this and showers her with kudos. The food was excellent. We ordered: - bacon jam patty melt and street corn. It was delicious and hefty. The street corn was Smokey and spicy. - Gouda cheesesteak - with crispy fries. It was excellent. - Redfish Ponchatrain. It was topped with shrimp and was really enjoyed. Great portion too. - 2 people ordered blackened catfish and both loved it. They're baked potato was huge and loaded, there's sweet potato fries were waffle and delicious and their mashed potatoes and chips and salsa. We're both excellent sides as well. - kiddo had a kids burger and fries and loved it. -I had black and chicken with a side, Caesar salad and the sautéed vegetables and I was not excited but needed to eat something to keep up with my macros, and the chicken was flavorful and delicious, the vegetables were seasoned well, and the salad was wonderful as well. I would 100% get this meal again. The service and food were excellent excellent. We will be back!

    Stopped in here after leaving COTA on our way home to Leander, and it was a great find…read more The setup is counter-service: you walk in, wait in line to order, grab a table, and they bring your food out to you with a number. We were greeted by a lovely waitress who checked in on us and offered drink refills throughout our visit. The atmosphere felt very family friendly and welcoming. I ordered the chicken fried steak, which was solid and satisfying. My guests both had the fried catfish and shrimp combo with mashed potatoes, and after trying both, I have to say those were excellent, honestly, I would choose that over the chicken fried steak next time. Overall, great food, friendly service, and a comfortable casual dining experience. Noticed they have a location in Leander as well, so I'll definitely be stopping by that one in the future!

    There is something so right about a restaurant who has "pie" in their name…read more I am so thankful for this sweet spot in my life. Great dinners, awesome desserts, comfortable & easily accessible. At Texan Cafe & Pie Shop you CAN HAVE IT ALL!!

    I think Chicken Fried Steak is one of the best defining dishes of Southern cuisine. I think Chicken…read moreFried Steak is an item that has kept the people of the Southern United States together regardless of interests, jobs, intelligence, and opinions. It is a unifying meal of blue-collared and white-collared people alike. It is a food that unifies the vast cultures of the south. There is no debate when there is a Chicken Fried Steak. Soul food and southern food are so severely important to people who were raised in the south because the overall feeling of those cuisines is that it feels like their Grandma is cooking dinner. Now if you look at my Yelp profile picture for a fraction of a second and maybe stereotype a little, you can accurately assume that my Grandma's cooking would fit in the latter and you would maybe wonder if my grandmother knows what seasoning is. If you have had her chili, you would say no. The famous Texan Cafe & Pie Shop in Hutto is a classic Southern diner that is always a perfect pick-me-up meal and is a truest staple of the area. When I first visited Hutto before moving I looked for places to try, and the abundant and sheer quantity of reviews for Texan Cafe made it clear that I had to try it. That was just over a year ago, and I still remember parking my car in the lot across the street and walking into the cozy diner with wood chairs and booths, red tablecloths, and so much decor on the walls it might be a museum, and I felt right about moving to Hutto. I was seated immediately and almost instantly ordered the Chicken Fried Steak smothered with white gravy, of course, with sides of Fried Okra and Mashed Potatoes. It was not long before the beautiful plate hit my table, and I destroyed everything on that plate. When I thought it was over, I was handed the dessert menu that was two full rows worth of pie and other options. I was mesmerized by the length of it and was overwhelmed by the options. I texted my parents to tell them and suddenly I was going back to San Antonio with slices on slices worth of pie for them to have. When my parents came up to help move me in, they wanted to go to the Texan. They were impressed with how great the meal was alongside the pies. Pies that they bought extra of to take back with them to San Antonio. When I started my job, the first meal they took us new hires to was the Texan. I tried their Blue Plate Special and found out that Chicken Fried Pork Chops exist and fell in love with that. When my brother came and visited meeting my parents and me in Hutto, we went to the Texan. We enjoyed their appetizers and everyone had to have a slice of pie. Options for everyone. When a friend came and visited, she took a solo trip to the Texan while I was at work then told me she took the best nap of her life after. My buddy and I decided to go randomly one day after work to try their Hot Pie with Brandy Sauce. That thing is a tank and is worth a visit to try alone. What a sweet creation. When my girlfriend visited me in Hutto, I took her to the Texan and she will randomly text me about how much she misses the pie. I try to get her a slice every time she comes and visits. It is her favorite thing. It is clear to see why it is a favorite to so many because everyone I have taken to the Texan has left a fan wanting to come back. I brought my grandparents home a full Blueberry pie from the Texan Cafe which my grandma told me "was the best I have even since I was a little girl. Not too sweet with a great crust. Just right. A blueberry pie is my favorite." I know this review is less of a review and more of a collection of vignettes of many stories built inside the walls of the Texan Cafe, but that is what is so beautiful about southern hospitality and southern diners. That is why there is so much decor about the extensive history of Texan Cafe and the culture of Hutto on the walls. I went back this afternoon for the first time in a short while, but I find myself continuously impressed by the quality of the food, the efficiency as a whole, and just how welcoming everyone is inside. Their pies are just truly next level. Today, I went for the Chicken Fried Pork Chop Blue Plate Special which is truly heaven sent, potato salad, fried okra, and a slice of their cherry pie. It is a meal you feel blessed to eat and a restaurant you love supporting because of it. Every pie I have had at the Texan is better than any other pie I have eaten. They could be a full time bakery and still be the monument of Hutto. It just happens they have food that warms your heart too. RIYL: Grandma's cooking if it was not dry
