Food seems scratch made. The pear salad was fresh, generous in size and well balanced with blue cheese and balsamic dressing. Burgers were served with soft sweet bakery buns. And the pies speak for themselves. Plus, it is cute as a button built inside the old high school. Feels like a trip back to the good old days. read more

Reservation late, over 1 hr for food, didn't have 7 different items (ribeye, baked potato, guac, etc...), served after tables sat later, credit card machines not working so multiple charges for our 1 tab. Waitress was nice and the staff was put in a tough situation. read more

Plowman's Kitchen - Entrance - American Near Me - Taylor, Texas

This diner has so much character! Located inside the Old Taylor High School and family owned. Even though we have only been in the area for a few years we felt welcomed and like we have been part of the Taylor area community for years by the staff. Coming from a smaller, tight knit community in WI this place was nostalgic to us of our favorite hometown diners. There are beautiful instruments used as lighting and decor and plenty of historical items and information lining the walls. We did not make a reservation, but called and asked for availability and we had a difficult time reaching someone on the phone. We did eventually get someone to pickup and they let us know we would have to wait a bit for a table but to come on by. We were checked in on and reassured we were not forgotten while waiting and there is plenty of cool decor to checkout while waiting. For a weekend early afternoon breakfast and a place that seemed to also be suffering from employee shortages that's amazing that we only had to wait about 15/20 minutes. Very attentive and friendly servers, came by multiple times to check in and always made sure we had enough coffee. We received our food pretty quickly as well and it was presented beautifully. We decided to check out the enormous Breakfast Board. For 2 people we had some leftovers we were able to take home. The food was good, nothing too different or mind blowing in flavor but a solid good breakfast that fills you up. The fruit provided was also nice and fresh and sweet. The servers and busboys were quick to clean up tables when customers left to ensure it was ready and perfect for the next guests. Very family friendly location and tables are spread out enough to accommodate strollers even. The parking lot is a bit small, but it is very easy to find close street parking for free as well. Overall the cute atmosphere and the amazing service will definitely bring us back to try out more items to hopefully find some more flavor in the dishes and maybe sit outside on the patio next time. I hope this place is around for a long time! read more

Plowman's Kitchen - Eggs Benedict - American Near Me - Taylor, Texas

Food is all very good. I have had sandwiches, breakfast, and last night steak. The pies and other desserts are fabulous. Real baked pie not just refrigerated cold pie with cool whip covering it. I am talking Carmel Apple pie, Pecan, Apple, etc. other goodies as well. All recipes are from the owner's own kitchen, the Plowman's are a local family and run this business themselves. Plowman's Kitchen is the only upscale home style restaurant in Taylor. I frequently have business lunches and friend get-togethers there, you will not be disappointed! read more

Everything was great about the food and the experience! What a jem, thank you Sean and staff!

Great place for breakfast all day. They have space for big and small parties. Staff was inviting and kind even while very busy.

Great stop with friendly staff. Love that it was a band hall and the breakfast is great to fuel my AM motorcycle ride.

Great find! Some of the best chicken fried steak and gravy I've ever had. Homemade delectable pies. Butteriest biscuits. I know you are in Taylor and tempted to eat BBQ but man, oh, man .... You would be missing out! read more

We were passing through Taylor and decided to google a place to eat with good Chicken Fried Steak and this place popped up first. It did not disappoint. The chicken fried steak was great and I loved the green beans too. We will definitely be back! The staff were very friendly as well! read more

The cheeseburgers and fries were so delicious but nothing can compare with the homemade carrot cake! The staff were courteous and very friendly. They are located on the old school campus in the band hall. Very cute! I highly recommend! read more

I took a drive from Georgetown & ended up at Plowman's Kitchen for a brunch time meal. My waiter John was fun & my breakfast burrito was the bomb!

Plowman's Kitchen - American Near Me - Taylor, Texas

I want to love this place I really do.. it's a cute atmosphere and family friendly. But I kid you not this is the 4th time out of 5 in 3 months that they are out of a menu item. I specifically keep trying because I love their BBQ Shrimp appetizer. But I assure you this is the last time I will waste my time coming here. I was told that they purposely run out of the sauce on Sunday because they close early.. ok so why at 1pm on Monday ( 5 hours after opening) are you still out of it. And mind you it's been different days of the week each time. The other menu items are mediocre at best and very inconsistent but they have a great thing going with that BBQ shrimp recipe. I come for that and my kids enjoy the chicken tenders (they're kids) easy to please. And my oldest got the club sandwich, it was dry and the bread was over toasted. I got the burger medium rare (so pink) added bacon and a fried egg. The burger was well done and the egg was fried hard so it was like eating a hard boiled egg yolk. Call ahead if you want bbq shrimp they are probably out. I've ran kitchens before and to purposely run out of an item and not prep it the next day is absolutely unacceptable practices. They clearly need some help in the kitchen with consistency and quality. I know times are tough but that's what Standard Operating Procedures are for. read more

We just left Plowman's Kitchen after visiting the Loose Screw in Taylor. These two places are located in the old elementary and high schools in Taylor, TX. This is a must see for various reasons. The Plowman's food is excellent and service top notch. The Loose Screw is across the schoolyard and has an excellent selection on tap along with various eclectic stores, cafes, and art studios located in the various "classrooms". Not to mention Mother's Basement Arcade also located there. What a fun visit and excellent repurpose of the old school buildings. Lots of events and food trucks too. Something for everyone. Ya'll go check it out! read more

Wow! Unfortunately had to come from Austin to attend a funeral in Taylor, but later found the Plowman's Kitchen and it sure turned the day around. Hubs had a nice breakfast with really delicious biscuits and gravy, amazing sausages etc. I had the beet salad with shrimp- absolutely mouthwatering! To make sure the day ended on a sweet note, got German Chocolate cake to go - DELISH! John, our "cleverly rude" waiter, kept us laughing and made sure we were well taken care of - what a character! Try this place - you'll be glad you did! read more

Our new must stop restaurant on our frequent trips through Taylor, Texas. The Plowman's Kitchen is a very attractive restaurant built in the old high school and the dining room is in what appears to be the old cafeteria. It is decorated with memorabilia from old Texas restaurant institutions like Earl Abel's (San Antonio) the Night Hawk (Austin) and others. The food is amazing. On my most recent visit, I told the waiter that Mom's Meatloaf is actually better than Mom's (forgive me Mom!). Portions are generous and the veggies and fruit were surprisingly fabulous! We frequently drive from Shreveport to San Antonio down Hwy 79....this will be a regular stop for us! read more

The Food is absolutely delicious and amazingly put together! The ambiance is community and friendly! The meat is fresh and the veggies and breads are fresh! We ordered 4 different adult menus and three different children's meals! All tasted great and ample food was provided for our pick up order! We all live in Taylor and it took us almost a year to hear about this golden hideaway - great tasting cafe! Oh my goodness, YOU ALL MUST VISIT AND SAMPLE THE MENU! Thank you Plowman's! read more

Super cute interior created from the old high school. Staff attentive and knowledgeable. Salmon and Steak were excellent. Looking forward to trying other meals. We took our family of 6 for dinner on a time crunch and they were able to get us in and out in a reasonable amount of time. read more

My experience here was actually pretty bad. We went on a hot summer afternoon for late lunch. We were sat near completely open glass windows, away from any fans, and there was no circulation. We were sweating, fanning, and so uncomfortable with the heat. It was like a standstill heat, and I even was using the condensation on my drink to cool off. This completely ruined the experience for me and we all agreed that we would not be back until it is cold outside. With that being said, our waiter was funny, prices were fair, and the food was actually really good. On food alone this is a 4 star restaurant! We are excited to come back but never in this heat if they don't offer air conditioning, a fan, ventilation, or close their blinds in the heat of the summer. read more

Have eaten lunch and dinner over the past year. The food is excellent consistently. It is in the band room of an old elementary school. Unique place read more

We were a party of 5. Started off with a carafe of mimosas. It was enough for all of us to 1.5 each. We started off with the basket of pastries. They were warm when they arrived and the largest one with icing was my favorite. It was flaky but all were delish. My guests were fans of the scones. One friend talked about the eggs Benedict for days and was happy with her choice. Someone else got the French toast, another person got the eggs your way. Typical traditional breakfast, my last guest got that massive breakfast platter. He did try to order 2 other items before that and they were already sold out before 11:30a (the salmon and chicken pot pie). I did feel the French toast tasted better than the pancake but that's just personal preference. I also loved the sausage over the bacon. I ate the chicken fried chicken with mashed potato's and Mac n cheese. All tasty. I went with the lavender drink as my 2nd cocktail and it was so good. Highly recommend and save room for pie. Made in house ! read more

Visited for in person dining for lunch. Great experience. Love the location ( former Taylor HS band hall) comfy, music themed lighting, open, airy dining space, yet inviting. Had Brussels sprout appetizer. CfC, tacos, and breakfast, eggs, bacon, all well executed. It was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. Love supporting local restaurants. Definitely on our radar now to revisit this hidden gem more often!! read more

This place was the highlight of our visit to Old Taylor High School. Located in the schools old band hall, this place made you feel right at home in this small town. As far as the food goes, we loved the Hot Turkey Sandwich w/ a side of fried okra. Our pimento cheese appetizer was also super yummy! I think the best part of our experience was our waiter and the service he provided. read more

Worse eggs Benedict ever. Covered with paprika. Sauce so thin the muffin was soggy when served. Ham was the extra thin slice that comes in a plastic container in store. i called to complain. Manager refused to give me his name. Td me he didn't have time to talk to me. Will Never go back. Sandy F read more

Great food and great service! Reasonable prices and great value!! All five of us said they enjoyed their food. Good ambiance!

Terrible fried green tomatoes! Disappointing for this type of restaurant! We don't recommend.

Food was excellent with generous portions. We had the lunch special which was lasagna, and it was perfect and delicious. The pastry case was tantalizing, with lots of choices! read more

This place just doesn't feel right. First of all, nobody (including the staff) is wearing a mask. There are zero COVID safety protocols in place, that I could see. The server was nice, but did not visit our table more than once. We waited a weird amount of time for our check. The place seemed clean, other than the mass amount of flies. The food was very bland and unremarkable. No flavor whatsoever. We asked for a side of bacon, but for some reason they put it in the breakfast taco? I didn't notice an excess of bacon, but we paid for it anyway. I wish we would have eaten at home. We will not be back. read more

Really great food. Chicken fried Steak was fantastic. Management was super nice and service was great.

So delicious! Salmon was flavorful and roasted beet salad was a sweet surprise. We also tried the lemon blueberry pie and were pleasantly surprised at the light flavor and texture. Looking forward to coming back! Such a cool location with little touches of band hall memorabilia all around. Thank you! read more

Loved having date night at Plowman's Kitchen. The restaurant has a unique and fun atmosphere being in an old school. The service was hospitable and the food was delicious! I highly recommend the blueberry lemon pie- YUM! We'll definitely be bringing our family and friends to this place. read more

Back in the area, so after reading the yelp reviews, 3 of us decided on this spot for dinner. And can I tell you it did not disappoint! The ambiance in this old School house is charming and unique. 3 meals were: 1st- Meatloaf with mashed potatoes and fried okra. portion was large, taste was very good and the okra was fried to perfection. 2nd- Honey Dijon pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes and veggie. Super tender, juicy and flavorful. 3rd- Shrimp pasta with garlic bread. The Alfredo sauce was very flavorful with lots of parmigiana. Sauce could have been a bit thinner but who wants sauce dripping down their chin, in a restaurant anyway. The shrimp were spiced and cooked perfectly. Everything was Delicious! Lastly- 2 deserts: Better than... (sex) Pie, is amazing, very sweet but wonderful with coffee the next day. And cheesecake, very creamy, not dense, not overly sweet. To top it all off are the prices Are great. Plowman's makes you realize how over priced many other restaurants are! We will be back! read more

I came to Taylor for a little day trip and came here for breakfast since it was highest rated in town. Now that I've been, I have no idea why. It starts with a lengthy wait and after you are sat, you wait some more. Next thing was the server telling us the laundry list of things they were out of. Then the food took forever to come out and when it finally did we were starving so we ate it but the pancake was dry and overcooked, the potatoes were undercooked and the biscuits and gravy was so bland. Definitely was not worth the wait and I'm so annoyed I wasted a meal on this place. They also seem very understaffed and the server was not very attentive or friendly. read more

Plowman's has become the "go to" spot on my visits to Taylor. The service and food has been terrific. Each time I get to visit, the hostess/waitress always has a smile on their faces and enjoy where they work. The meatloaf and seasonable vegetables hit the spot every time. Drinks are always kept full and the waitstaff always asks how things were after the meal and if we want any of their delectable desserts. Pecan pie this trip was simply divine and the next time will try the pecan pie with brandy. Thanks! read more

Cute atmosphere, friendly staff but you need to wave them down but they did respond quickly when flagged down. Hubby got the enchiladas which he enjoyed, I got the glazed pork. Pork was super thin and so over cooked flavor was very good. they recooked it and it was better but still a bit tough, but again good flavor. Deserts are delicious! I come back for that alone. LOL Price was reasonable for the quantity. We'll be back read more
