    It doesn't get more Texas than a great big HOWDY Y'ALL.
    Kevin S.

    Good afternoon Yelpsters. Hope you're enjoying the rain as much as my yard is. I think I saw it smiling. Free water is always the best kind. So today, I wanted brunch. I usually trust my instinct. In the age of technology, those instincts are supplimented by an App, and thousands of thousands of great people like you. Yes you. . A review of Real Texas Cafe was highlighted this morning, so ever the lover of local mom and pop businesses, I scrubbed up to come chow down. I even put my stretchy joggers on just in case. I missed the rush. I figured theyclose at 2:30, come about 1:00 because the working ladies and gent have to be back at work. Lighter foot traffic means an unrushed, unstressed prepared brunch. Chefs/cooks don't need to be overwhelmed all the time. So I never show up last half hour of service, or at rush hour. The last picture tells the story. This is a family owned, family operated restaurant, not just in function, but in feel, in experience. It has an honest feel as if they truly want you to feel fed, and at home. No corporate vibe here. The kids are waiting and bussing tables, cashing you out, smiles galore. The meal? Griddlecakes, thick, but super light, fluffy, golden brown with that perfect buttery crisp edge. Just after Easter, both Jesus and these griddlecakes rose up. One saves my soul, the other, my appetite. God would laugh at that one so it's cool for you too. I asked for the sliced potatoes with crispy-crispy fried onions. Never in my 45 years of cooking have I achieved this result. The potatoes are soft as a baked potato inside, but crispy outside, the onions, what I pictured in my kind was not near as perfect as what appeared on my plate. I wanted to ask the chef how so I can replicate them at home. Eggs were scrambled light, fluffy, maybe they add something. These were light, realky scrumptious. Only slight was the coffee wasn't as strong as I prefer. It was a flavorful light roast, but I'm a coffee snob, so I prefer a rich, darl premium roast. Partially my fault for adding cream before tasting. Wasn't enough to withhold a star though. Thank you Yelpers that took time to share this spot with me. I've driven by Westpark way and 121 for 3 decades. I had a motorcycle accident on this very corner in 2000 something... youch. Never saw this place looking at traffic. But today it was highlighted on Yelp. Well worthy of the high ratings. Till next time. Stay safe, be well, be it known you are loved, important, necessary. Have great days, enrished lives. Thanks for reading, and sharing your experiences. Peace and bacon grease.

    First a thank you for not turning us away 45min till close. I hate arriving before a place closes. Great service and a nice place to have breakfast or lunch. The menu includes breakfast and lunch and you can have breakfast at any time as well. The food came out quickly and was delicious. We all loved our food. Plenty of refills on drinks. Great prices as well.

    Egg & Cheese Melt with Sliced Potatoes ($11.75 10/2024)
    Christie N.

    Had a good breakfast. Easy parking. Very convenient place to eat close to local hospital. Lots of seating options and looked like two side rooms for larger gatherings. Dessert counter with single slices of pies & cake. Typical breakfast & lunch diner menu with daily specials. A little over priced compared to other local places with same fare in my opinion. Very quiet with multiple tables enjoying meals. Immediately greeted, seated & drink order taken. Friendly service with 2 ladies working the room & register (mid morning during the week). Received our meals quickly. I was looking for a cheaper item and ended up with the EGG & CHEESE MELT ($11.25) with sliced potatoes. (You choose bacon or sausage for the sandwich then hashbrowns or sliced potatoes as the side). Two buttery slices of Texas toast with egg, cheese, & bacon. Truly hard to go wrong here unless you're watching calories and cholesterol intake. The potatoes were okay but nothing special. My Mom got THE TRADITIONAL ($13.75) - Two eggs, bacon (believe there was 3-4 slices), sliced potatoes, served with multigrain toast. We both enjoyed our meals. They were good basic breakfasts. Just a little more expensive than I'm used to in the area. But owning a small business is expensive and I imagine costs associated with maintaining an older building aren't cheap either. They have done a good job!

    I had the meatloaf,mashed potatoes & pinto beans . Delicious every bite. Onion Rings here are the real deal . Big thick slices of onion and seasoned batter . Service was prompt . Tea was refilled quickly. Place was clean . Feels like a real cafe pardon the pun . Plenty of comfortable seating

    Chicken and waffle
    Kay K.

    Trying out Real Texan Cafe. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the waffles were light and airy. Our server was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The cafe has a cozy, down-to-earth feel, perfect for a weekend brunch. It seemed reasonably priced for the generous portion sizes. Highly recommend!

    Yummy menu

    What a great hidden gem in the MidCities area. My dining out Toastmasters club decided to gather at Real Texas Cafe for our monthly meeting. Our meeting organizer knocked it out of the park, she picked an incredible venue with good ole southern cooking that makes tummies very happy. There were over 20 of us in attendance and the staff took care of us with military precision. Real Texas Cafe has a great menu of family favorites that will satisfy even the most pickiest eater. If someone can't find something on the menu they like, then something's wrong. I love a good meatloaf. After reading the previous reviews, I knew right away that I needed to order 'Mama's Meatloaf" accompanied with mashed potatoes and fried okra. You can't get much better than that. My wife decided on the grilled chicken salad. After a short wait, our orders started arriving. The whole staff pitched in to get the plates delivered to the proper individuals without the hot entrees getting cold. No one was disappointed. The portions are ample. If you leave Real Texas Cafe hungry, it's your fault, not the restaurants. My meatloaf was delicious. The accompanying mashed potatoes and fried okra were seasoned perfectly. Every once in a while one has to splurge on unhealthy choices and I had no regrets. My wife's salad was all that she wished for, cool, crisp and packed full of all the veggies she loved. Again our servers were spectacular in their handling of our group. My wife and I decided to return again soon for breakfast. We can't wait.

    Part of my 2 by 4 $12.25
    Shannon M.

    We happened to be in the area and enjoy the small, "hole in the wall" type of places, so thought, why not? We were immediately greeted by a friendly young man right we went walked in and were taken to a booth. We didn't wait long at all for drinks or to have our order taken, but the wait for our food was a bit long. At first glance, we weren't excited about the food, especially the 2 by 4, but we soon learned everything actually tasted great! The entire service staff seemed to work together as a happy team. They ran food and refills to each others tables and were all attentive. We were truly impressed by that. On our way out we asked the young man who greeted us and he let us know his mom owns the Cafe and it really gave us a family owned feeling, full of people who care about the customers. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

    Greasy chicken fried steak, and cold eggs

    The food came out greasy, cold, and missing items. It also took over 30 min. When you order grits, when putting butter in them, you would think it would melt? Nope!!

    Breakfast menu
    Billy J.

    Great family style menu restaurant! Very friendly staff, clean with an up to date (Texas) decor/ atmosphere. Check out included menu pictures. The $12.99 price (for many items) could seem high until you see the large portions of fantastically prepared food. I love the Real Texas Omelette, it's a meat lovers plus! However, I'm never gotten anything which wasn't exceptional! They also have great homemade pie, too! This place is a must try!

    Pancakes and biscuits and gravy
    Rafael M.

    This is definitely a mom and pop place with many regular customers. The waitresses are very friendly and attentive. They have daily specials. I had the two by four. Just a typical breakfast, the pancakes were delicious. They were nice and fluffy. I also had an order of biscuits and gravy. It could of been more flavorful and a little thicker gravy. It's an easy place to dine. I will be back to try their pot roast.

    Coffee
    Charlotte H.

    The food was good. The eggs were just like I asked for. The restaurant was definitely a good one. Coffee was hot. the restaurant was clean. The waitresses were nice. The prices were decent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Ham & Egg Omelette delicious!
    Lauren A.

    Everything great and actually better than expected aside from our server who disappeared after randomly deciding to give a table her unsolicited political opinions lol. She's harmless but funny and not the most focused..no big deal. Breakfast potato's were AMAZING! Perfectly crispy on the outside and indulgently soft on the inside. Eggs were perfect and portions large. Coffee great. Highly recommend!

    Laura A.

    Had a few issues with this place but may/may not give them another try. Ordered the veggie omelette and asked for no onions (had a ton of onions). The potato slices were good and had the biscuit (which was huge but cold). Also ordered a single pancake, which was fine. The decor was western, wide open space, typical booths and square tables. Biggest issue was they must've done a shift change while I was there because I waited 20 minutes for someone to give me my check. The other servers kept walking by but no one wanted to step up and take over my table. Little frustrating when you're ready to leave and people keep ignoring you.

    Pie cabinet... I took a couple of the banana pudding pies to go.

Young, high-energy staff and everybody was friendly. I had an adorable little waitress who was possibly high as a kite. But flower high, not the bad stuff. Honestly, it worked in everybody's favor. She was upbeat, extremely polite, and got my order right. I'm happy. The menu is one of those long double-sided laminated things with probably 50+ breakfast choices. Everybody should be able to find something. Prices looked to range around $10-17 per entrée, and the portions were solid. They also had a bunch of turkey and chicken sausage options for non-pork eaters like myself. I ordered the chicken fried steak with hash browns, scrambled cheese eggs with onions mixed into the eggs and hash browns, plus two pancakes. Around $15. Pardon the food pics. I forgot to take them until I had already loaded everything up with every sauce known to man: ketchup, hot sauce, gravy, syrup... probably a few others. I definitely recommend this place. A gem.

I initially gave this place 5 stars, but after returning recently for the first time in a long while, the experience was extremely disappointing. We came in, got seated, and a guy named Omar handed us the menus. I asked if we could get two hot waters with lemon, and in a very dismissive tone he replied, "Anna will get that," then just walked away. We then saw Anna walk past our empty table three or four times before finally coming over with two glasses of cold water, which we never asked for. I told her we would've requested hot water with lemon, but she barely even acknowledged us. She took the cold water away, turned around, and later came back simply setting the hot water down without a word. When we were looking at the menu, my husband asked what the side options were. She replied in an annoyed tone, "It's right there," while pointing at the menu. My husband then asked if she could just tell us, which she eventually did. From start to finish, there was no smile, no pleasantries, no sense that she even wanted to serve us. Mind you, this was 9 AM on a Monday, and there were only three occupied tables in the restaurant, including ours. When the food arrived, one of the plates had dirt, a dead bug, or something similar on it. We pointed it out, and instead of apologizing, she took the plate away, came back, denied it was a bug, and still seemed visibly irritated. Later, I asked for extra napkins. She returned and aggressively dropped them on the edge of the table without even looking at us before walking away. Throughout the entire meal, she passed by our table several more times and never once checked on us. We left feeling dismayed, disappointed, and honestly feeling like the service did not deserve a tip--so we didn't. This used to be one of our go-to spots after church on Sundays, but unfortunately, that will no longer be the case. Suffice it to say, we will not be returning.

The parking lot is crowded, which my uncle was like " I hope there's no waiting ". However, I noticed all the people going into this end shop serving coffee & tea, so I was still calm. Don't give up just cause the parking lot is full. We went in & I believe it only had 12 tables, & only 6 were in use. We sat down & was greeted by our server; who told my uncle, she would float him out of there in response to his drink order of black coffee & keep 'em' coming. The menu is about 4 pages of breakfast finest to choose from & a page of good looking lunch. Breakfast is obliviously the spotlight. My uncle ordered the Texas omelette, I ordered the buffalo chicken salad & sweet tea, & we got my hubby the spicy poblano omelette w/pancake to go for his brunch. My salad was good. I can't say it was great but good. The dressing was delicious, but the salad was just a salad nothing to write home about. The chicken had a mild kick but nothing spicy. It was tender & a great protein for the salad. The sweet tea was just ok also. As for the omelettes I did not try or taste, if you follow me I don't like eggs. But both my uncle & my husband said the would definitely go back. My uncle said his was great specimen. My husband didn't have to say anything, I've never quite seen him eat anything so fast as he ate that! Even though it was small, she is mighty. Don't let the not a lot of people fool you they have carry out & a drive thru & those were both busy the entire time we were there. Go try it yourself, review, agree or disagree. Happy reviewing !!
