    French toast with blueberries
    Jeanette C.

    Went to breakfast with my family that lives close to bastrop. It's a very small place do def get there early. You can tell everything is freshly made my husband got the biscuit and gravy and said they were good. I tried a bit an they were def good. I got the hearty breakfast with French toast eggs, bacon and potatoes. The potatoes were very crispy, bacon was cooked really well and eggs. French toast could use some more flavor but still good. Our girls for the kids French toast which is two pieces. My brother in law had the monte cristo he said it was kinda small and could have used more meat inside not very filling. Service was great, our serve was great she was good with all the kids, she even put up my daughters drawing on there board, which my daughter was super super excited about. I wish I got more photos but I was so hungry I forgot until I was already eating.

    'Eggs Benedict

    I was finally able to get here for breakfast. The place doesn't have air conditioning but it's still cooler inside. Texas heat is no joke. I love that they serve Pepsi in a jar that they use for glasses. I ordered French Toast (suggested by the server) and a breakfast taco (eggs, cheddar and avocado). The French toast was not big at all so I could easily enjoy my taco. The server was friendly. The restaurant has tables only. And the bathroom could definitely use some TLC. All in all food and service were good. Food was tasty.

    Popped in on our drive through the area and so glad that we did! Cute historic downtown area. Very cool vibe and great food! Our party ordered: Chicken fried steak-best they ever had. Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage were really good. The praline french toast was on another level of amazing! Was told the cinnamon roll was great but the key lime pie was not, due to too much whipped cream. Service was decent and everyone got everything they needed. This place is amazing! We will return!

    I haven't had a Monte Cristo since the days of Bennigan's--almost 20 years ago--so my expectations were very high when I saw this much beloved dish on the menu. While this wasn't quite the nostalgic Monte Cristo I remembered, it was definitely good enough to scratch the itch. It even came with that sweet jam dipping sauce that's a must with a Monte Cristo. The sandwich had great flavor and held its own, and the fries were perfectly crispy and crunchy. Great rendition of a classic with a homemade take that still hit all the right notes.

    The food as always is absolutely delicious! The wait is worth it! Breakfast and lunch has never tasted better! The sweet tea is outta this world! The service is wonderful always smiles and quick!! The decorations make the place feel even more like old home and if you get the chance, ask for Linda the server! She's been her for 15 years!!

    Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs.

    Breakfast was great and the staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs with the biscuit. The chicken fried steak was nice and crispy and the gravy was flavorful. The biscuit was a little dry. My boys ordered the two egg breakfast with the griddle cakes. The griddle cakes were huge and delicious.

    Back fairly quick with the GD in tow...and sadly this was nowhere as good as our first visit. Service was definitely lacking, and we were there early...wife went with the Rise and Shine special...luke warm at best, potatoes soft...there crazy crispy and hot last round...burnt the first round of toast and took way to long for the replacement...its toast...My chicken fried steak was really good, tender...over easy eggs were a bit under on the whites....taters a miss a well....The GD went with eggs and a couple of sausage patties...that was pretty good...and we all shared a huge pancake...good flavor but really hard to cut thru...not burnt of anything....we won't write it off just yet...the first time was so good, we can try again....everyone has an off day.

    Tried something new with avacado toast. It was wonderful. The atmosphere is always casual and the staff are great. Emerald gave amazing service and always has a smile. The cook absolutely takes pride in his work. Food tastes great and the presentation is beautiful. Love this restaurant in Bastrop. Highly recommend.

    this place is packed so there was a long wait after we ordered, but service was friendly. the price is a steal considering how huge the platters are. their catfish and chicken melt were grilled perfectly, and we loved the hushpuppies and sweet potato fries. you can also sub egg whites for free, which went well with their homemade salsa. their jam and pies are on the sweeter side though. also just a heads up that they automatically include credit card service fee in the check.

    Slid right in on a Sunday morning and grabbed a table for 2. Cute cafe in downtown Bastrop with a little outdoor seating. I got the chicken fried steak/4/4 could have used more seasoning on the gravy and steak. Husband got the Texas scrambler and liked his 4/4- pretty much a deconstructed bkft taco. They make their jam in house and it's good but I suggest spreading it when you are about to eat it as it is watery and soaks into the toast!

    Lovely little spot in Bastrop Tx. I had the Greek salad while Tom enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich with sweet potato fries. Everything including the ice tea was great!. They also have tables on the front porch if you are like us and travel with a Pup

    Found ourselves in Bastrop, on an exploration day. Say all the reviews for "Maxine's Cafe" so we headed there. Just so happens to be the day before a big car-show"Hero's and Hot Rods" a local Veterans Day celebration. Although there was a bit of a line at the front door, we were seated fairly quickly. The service here is amazing. We were acknowledged by our server right away, letting us know she'd be right with us. She'd just received two more tables just ahead of us. This allowed us time to check out the menu. Wow! Home style southern cooking just as you'd expect. I ordered "Chicken & Waffles", deep fried chicken breast, atop a fresh waffle. Choice of syrup or gravy (I chose both on the side). The combination was fantastic. Wife chose Half order (1 biscuit cut in half), of Biscuit with sausage gravy. It was quite "amazing". Now I know I use that word a lot, but nothing else comes to mind. Hot fluffy biscuit, smothered with sausage gravy with bits of country sausage sprinkled on top. It was simply "amazing"!!! Bastrop folks are very friendly and naturally kind hearted. My table neighbor commented on my appetite, as I didn't leave much left on my plate. The food is very good, the value is there and the ambiance is inviting. It can handle small or large groups. Just a nice place to refresh and refill will checking out the town. So, come on over to Maxine's and check out the amazing food, you won't regret it. Michael C. - Georgetown,Tx.

    TLDR: Charming and very kid-friendly restaurant with delicious comfort food and friendly service…read more What a pleasant surprise! Came here on a whim and loved it. First of all, it's very kid-friendly! Almost every family that walked in had small children. They have high chairs, crayons/coloring pages, and a kids menu. The kids menu deserves a kudos! Usually, I expect bare minimum but they really invested effort into the food. The grilled cheese came on big fluffy buttery pieces of bread and was something I'd expect to receive from the main menu. The chicken tenders were big and juicy and delicious too. Kids devoured their grilled cheeses (to be fair, they've never met a grilled cheese they didn't like but that's what makes the restaurant's above-and-beyond effort more admirable). I enjoyed my food as well. I got the chicken-friend steak. I rarely eat fried food -- this was worth it. Delicious. Also the show-stealer was the Brussels sprouts side! Fantastic. Perfectly browned and crisped (not overdone/too blackened like many places do). Mashed potato side was tasty too. Finally, the service was excellent. Super nice and attentive staff. Parking is very easy -- free lot next door.

    This is the absolute cutest little diner - a hidden gem!

My husband had a cheeseburger and I had the chicken salad sandwich. Both were yummy! Our server, Kelly, was helpful and attentive. We will definitely eat here again when we pass through Bastrop!

    We stopped by Flor lunch and got two sandwiches, BLT and chicken salad, and sides of broccoli salad…read moreand the potatoes. We also got some grits and a biscuit with gravy. We left with some leftovers, of course! The sandwiches were on Texas toast and were super good, for a very reasonable price! My favorite of the sides were the potatoes, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I was so tempted by baked goods but it felt like we had enough food already. If I'm back in bastrop I'll have to try some, along with the brunch items. The folks working there were all super friendly and attentive. The inside was nicely renovated but still homey/quaint. We ate outside in the back with our dogs, which was also nice. Plenty of shade, too. You won't regret stopping here if you're in Bastrop!

    I'm a big sandwich girl and love a good BLT! This one was so good - definitely hit the spot for me…read morewith whatever sauce they had on it. My husband's go to is always a burger and he enjoyed his brunch burger (with an egg) as well. My kiddos got the ham and cheese sandwich kids meal and gobbled up theirs too! So overall a success for our family :) The potatoes/tots were included with our meals and they were unique but definitely very salty. The friends we ate with had grits and biscuits and gravy and commented theirs were also pretty salty, but still good! Service was simple - you line up and order and then find seating until your beeper rings. We enjoyed the outdoor seating out back but there's also a decent amount of seating in the interior.

    We came back for breakfast. It was very good…read more My wife had menudo and a barbacoa taco. She's very picky about both and was extremely pleased. And they offer both options every day/all day, which is great. She'll come back with her sister to enjoy it again. I had two breakfast tacos: one with egg, sausage and cheese and the other with migas. I really loved the migas. While the first taco was unremarkable, the migas was great. It was perfect, in fact. And it really celebrates their home made corn and flour tortillas. The only thing I didn't like was the salsa. It tasted like canned tomatoes and it was a wee bit salty and not very spicy. I really liked the migas, though. It was made with fresh jalapeño and had just the right amount of heat without needing any salsa. So I think this is one of those places that does some things very well... enough to build up a solid base of regulars, even though some of their other offerings were disappointing, like improperly reheated enchiladas. But if you know what to order, you can really enjoy this place. Oddly enough, they have chorizo on the menu, but don't list it among the available proteins on the breakfast taco menu, which I personally find very strange. Chorizo and egg is such an iconic breakfast taco offering. I'll bet they'd do it justice.

    I went here for the Puffy tacos, and they were San Antonio style...which is perfect. The place is…read moresomewhat difficult to see, so plug it into your GPS.
