    Farm Breakfast sub cheese grits and Biscuits & Gravy
    Patti R.

    The food here is great and the service truly wonderful. There is sometimes a wait, but it is well worth it. The New Orleans shrimp appetizer is a must! That Cajun gravy/sauce is heavenly, and the baguette is perfectly toasted. We've had an assortment of breakfast, lunch, and dinner items here and all of them were very satisfying. Bacon is thick cut and so very delicious, the assortment of breads we've had have all been scrumptious, fries are battered with that perfect crispiness, pancakes, super fluffy and delicious, you can't go wrong with their biscuits and gravy, and they're sure to have something for everyone since their entire menu is served all day. The cheesy grits were slightly bland and the seasonal vegetables were overly oily. But otherwise everything has hit the spot!

    Cute, fresh baked cookies that are huge! This is more like 2-3 cookies in 1!

    Food is always fresh and delicious. If you want a place that is sit down and unique, not your average chain restaurant, this is the spot for you. Excellent baked goods and the breakfast is delicious!

    Grandson ordered chicken fried steak, mac & cheese, and french fries.... He said it was really good.
    Susan W.

    We were seated immediately. For a Friday night I think that's awesome.! I said, came over promptly asking us if we were ready to order, at this point, he had already ordered our packages. The service is here is really great. !! To be continued : My grandson ordered chicken fried steak, mac & cheese and french fries chicken fried steak was huge and beautifully fried with cream gravy. He has a hefty appetite, but it was so large. He ended up leaving a small piece of it as he was just too full/ his french were OK and he ate all his mac & cheese one of his very favorite dishes. I decided on the meat salad with goat cheese and poppyseed dressing. It also had pecans sprinkled throughout. It was delicious. It was massive so next time I will order a half portion. I also ordered tortilla soup which came with five or six tortilla chips. It was quite good But very spicy. They also have a bakery and make a lot of pies and cakes. There was no way we could eat dessert, but we definitely stopped at the Bakery Case and ordered some Red Velvet Cake for the boys and a piece of Coconut Cream Pie for me. The restaurant has several unique features, including a bar along one side of the restaurant where you can get beer, wine, and cocktails. It had a massive chandelier that was vintage and quite beautiful in the center surrounded by other light fixtures. The tables and chairs and the booths also reminded me of vintage café style furnishings . The round tables and chairs were very unique in that barrel style. Bottom of the tables were a metal cut out design, making them very unique. Our server was absolutely wonderful. Very patient and helpful. Next time I'm in town I will definitely return.!!!

    Honey Dijon Pork Tenderloin
    Kevin W.

    Great local diner serving what I would call "upscale" diner food. They always have a good selection of cakes and pies. The wait staff is usually local young folks and it's not bad service. The menu here is not lacking but sometimes I still find myself looking for something more. We do love the options for sides though, you want a side of bacon with your meatloaf, no problem, deviled eggs for a side, got you covered, how about some Texas caviar! My wife was a little disappointed they were out of salmon which was her first choice but the filet she ordered instead was really good - quality tender meat, could have used a bit more seasoning but we were impressed with the quality of the cut. I had the roasted beet salad as a side and it was fantastic! Highly recommend. I also had the pork tenderloin with a honey mustard sauce. The tenderloin was tender but maybe a tad dry from being slightly overcooked, overall I felt it was ok. We both got deviled eggs as a side, they were a little dry, not much seasoning going on but we do like the option of a deviled egg as a side so we were ok with it but it could be better. Wished I could do half stars, this is a 4.5 in my book.

    Food is awesome! Service is exceptional! Ask for Natalie if you go there on a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday! Ambiance is friendly and perfect for social gatherings!

    Love this conglomeration of chandeliers!!  The green walls is very garden like!
    Sheila L.

    This is the best!! Plowman's Kitchen has repurposed the old Taylor High School - in particular, the band hall! There are decorations of a drum set as the chandelier when you enter the front door, a bass drum as a table, many instruments adorn the walls in addition to old photos of majorettes, stage band, and students from THS! So creative! The food!!!! The BEST biscuits and gravy ever! The biscuits must have been placed on the grill first which gave them a bit of a crunch on the outside and fluffy, yummy, inside. The gravy was not "pasty" or didn't appear to come from an envelope. The eggs were fluffy. We loved our waitress! The cafe is pretty and feels airy. A+

    The Cuban Sandwich with Seasonal Vegetables
    Laudencio M.

    Staff was great. Inside was clean and nice. Food was reasonably priced but small in portions for the price and really dry. But maybe just a bad day. I'll try again one day.

    Standard bfast with fruit, biscuits and gravy!
    David L.

    Came around 9:30am on a Sunday. Not too many folks eating, and therefore the wait staff was extremely accommodating and allowed us to sit outside with our dog! The food order was taken quickly (and again they were VERY accommodating to specific substitution requests!). We both got the standard breakfast (eggs, sausage/bacon, and a side). I upgraded to the biscuits and gravy. The food was filling but not overly heavy as can sometimes happen with diner food. Some of my fruit was in bad shape, but there was a large enough portion that I could pick around it! The tables outside were a bit dirty, but it was our choice to sit outside. Overall nice visit and quality food at a damn good price!

    Best food ever! Charming staff amazing place!
    Thorin S.

    Amazing place amazing people working here. Incredible food I have never stopped in this town before and this is a reason to absolutely come to Taylor any night of the week.

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!

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!

    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
