    Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs.
    Mo A.

    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.

    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.

    Migas breakfast option

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Hamburger and onion rings

    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!!

    Omelette (add the Cholula yourself)
    Paul S.

    Not for me. Food was bland, and it took a while to get utensils after the food was served. Oatmeal portion was generous but way too soft for my preference. Omelette was ok but it didn't have seasoning or other things to pull the ingredients together. The food was prepared well and service was ok, but I've had better choices at Denny's, Waffle House, or any Mexican restaurant that serves breakfast. Probably just my personal preference, but the food was bland, not interesting. They did have Cholula though.

    Avocado toast plus grits

    Stopped in twice on a recent visit for breakfast. As usual, the service is great and the food is very satisfying and good. Lots of options for a vegetarian. Still one of my favorites in Bastrop.

    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

    Fried something???
    paul m.

    Most pathetic club sandwich I've ever had. Mostly bread with micro slices of meat. Didn't include the tomato listed on the menu and they serve it dry with mayo packets on the plate. Wilted lettuce. Ordered onion rings on the side and they dumped whatever fried remnants were left in the fryer basket on my plate. Also took 30 minutes to get our food from the time we ordered. Will not be back.

    This place is delicious! The serving sizes are huge no matter what you order. The food is all home style, country cooking. You can't go wrong with whatever you choose. We have been for both breakfast and dinner and both experiences were great. The service is always friendly. The ambiance could use a little update but it definitely adds to the small town charm of the place. Be prepared for a little bit of a wait when you go, but it will be worth it!

    Famous Fried Green Tomato BLT Sandwich with jalapeño cream cheese. I recommend getting the cream cheese on the side.

    I've supported this local coffee shop for a long time, back when it was owned by Christiana and run…read moreby truly fabulous employees like Nikki, Justice, and Mariah. During that time, Coffee Dog was reliable, welcoming, and worth recommending. Unfortunately, under new ownership, that is no longer the case. This morning was the final straw. I placed my order and waited over 30 minutes, only to receive absolutely nothing. After my order was taken, I reasonably assumed it was being prepared. Instead, a different employee later came to the window and asked what I had ordered as if no record or communication existed at all. At that point, I asked for a refund. What followed was a frustrating and unnecessary ordeal. The so-called manager came to the window and began explaining how long a sandwich takes to make despite the fact that I did not order a sandwich. The manager clearly did not understand the situation, continued wasting my time, and failed to listen after I had already made it clear that I just wanted a refund since my order was never made. Even processing the refund became a struggle. This is not an isolated incident. On several prior visits, they've been under-supplied, out of basic items, or dealing with non-functioning machines issues that are frankly unacceptable for a business that calls itself a coffee shop. The lack of organization and accountability is astounding. One of our clients regularly purchased gift cards from Coffee Dog for us, but after this experience, I will be telling him not to return. Mr. Hodges, save your money this place is no longer worth it. It's incredibly sad to see how far this business has fallen. I supported Coffee Dog for the longest time, but I am officially done. I will not be returning, and I will not be recommending this place to anyone. Future customers should be aware: this business is not the same under new ownership.

    I did not know about The Coffee Dog, now I do. Nice coffee stop in Bastrop. Once you enter the…read moredoor you can witness the roasting of the coffee bean. This is important and very good to see. I did get a pasterie and it was good. I will come again.

    "STEAKHOUSE GARLIC RIBEYE SANDWICH" ROCKS -…read more On our return home from our Cruise, we stopped in Bastrop at Arby's (711 TX-71) for a bite to eat (as if we didn't eat enough on the cruise). They are advertising a new "Ribeye Steak" Sandwich and that's what we both ordered, 1-Combo & 1-Sandwich only (we share). Carmen took our order and soon it was ready. Arbys calls with the "Steakhouse Garlic Ribeye Sandwich"; Ribeye Steak, Big Eye Swiss Cheese, Crispy Onion Strings. Garlic Aloll Spread on a Toasted Bun - and it is just that. Arby says; "We Have The Meats", but now their Meats are on Our Sandwiches and there is a Lot of Meats on this Huge Tasty Ribeye Sandwich. My Wife and I both LOVE this Sandwich. Very Tenderliciously Tasty with just the right amount of Cheese and Spread makes it One Great Combination. Their Curley Fries are also Very Crisp with just the right Crunch. We don't have an Arby's in San Angelo and have been informing Arby's about that for some time now. So, Arby's, if you are seeing this - We Need An Arby's In San Angelo, Texas - PLEASE. Check one out near you and you will enjoy whatever Sandwich you order and please tell them to get an Arby's in San Angelo, Texas so my Wife and I can enjoy one near us. My Baby and I continued on the way home in San Angelo, Texas, where there are No Arby's for us to enjoy. How Sad --- (hint-hint-hint)
