    Spanish omllette with a side of bacon, hashbrown and biscuit and gravy.
    Rhett C.

    It's a greasy spoon diner! What's not to love. The waitstaff is attentive and fast. The coffee comes hot and never runs out. The food is great. I've been many times and have always enjoyed breakfast here. Also. Be sure to get a cinnamon roll.......they melt a pad of butter on top....it's...literally amazing. Anyway. Back to the review. If your looking for an awesome breakfast, you can't go wrong. It does get busy in the morning, but never had to wait more than a few minutes for a table. Bar seating in the bar is first come first serve. Definitely worth a visit!

    Non-traditional club
    Aaron N.

    First of all this place is so amazing it's a little gem and a little town. This is me and my best friends go to place in the mornings the breakfast is amazing but today I had the "non-traditional club sandwich" so amazing bacon was crispy, the ham and turkey complemented the whole sandwich i recommend this sandwich. The service is amazing everyone is so helpful here. And everything is so clean. If you guys want a good country meal whether it be lunch, breakfast, or dinner it's all amazing. Thank you guys so much

    My whole life I've loved breakfast food, and I never understood why. This cafe reminded me exactly why. I had the simplest meal consisting of fried eggs, hash browns, bacon and buttermilk pancakes, but it was the best breakfast I have had in a long time. I'm from California, so experiencing this Texas home cooked breakfast was revelatory. Plus, I felt right at home in this cafe, and they took care of me after quite a long road trip. I went two times on my trip. Thank you for taking care of me!

    You NEED to experience a home-town cafe! The sooner the better. And when you do, this is the place to go! (Ask for Daniel) And make sure you leave some room for a cinnamon roll for dessert. I got the Original Burger. High quality, done right. At the table, we got breakfast for the kiddies, lunch for me, and dinner for the two adults. Everything was great. Staff was friendly; service was everything you'd expect from a classic cafe! Just do yourself a favor and head on over. This was my first time here; won't be my last!

    Chocolate chip pancakes
    Jon M.

    I've been here before and thought I left a review, but I guess not.... I wanted breakfast so I drove the 20 minutes to try this place and it was well worth it... This was there biggest combo and after tax it was only $14. I got 3 eggs, smoked sausage, potatoes, and 2 pancakes. Let's start with the basic stuff. The eggs were cooked perfectly, but they're eggs so not much more could be done for over medium eggs. The meat choice I selected was the sausage, and instead of hashbrowns I got the potatoes. The potatoes are tasty and I didn't realize the smoked sausage would come with BBQ sauce, but those were quite tasty. The crazy part was the pancakes. Yes, I paid the extra dollar for chocolate chips in them, but they were massive and tasted very good. They were as big as the container they were in, and about 1/4 inch thick, as opposed to the thin pancakes you get everywhere. Overall all of this food for $14 is a really good deal and the other prices were exceptional as well.

    Great local place. Fun, nice people and good food. I had the Mexican eggs Benedict. Solid.

    Chicken fried steak
    Cindy E.

    If your looking for a Good hometown breakfast, this is your place. The food was fresh and served hot. I had the chicken fried steak which was perfect portion and breaded just right. My husband had the French toast and said it was also really good. The place was very clean and the waiters and waitresses were very friendly and made sure my husbands coffee was always topped off!

    My "Southern" (Cheese Enchiladas) are awesome.  Hot enough I took a break to post this review

    Great little cafe! The were open on Easter so we popped in. They have a little bites menu dad got a 1/2 CFS from. I had some delicious cheese enchiladas

    Real maple syrup?

    No. However, they offer a low sugar option.

    Can anyone tell me if they serve turkey sausage and if real butter is offered, or just margarine? Thanks.

    No turkey sausage but yes turkey bacon. Yes real whipped butter just ask they will bring you some. Have a great day

Went for the biscuits, but our very wise waitress, Adriana, warned us that the biscuits were made with lard. Well that knocked out a bunch or breakfast options. She was so sweet and actually went to the kitchen and marked the menu pointing out lard-free menu choices. On the menu. Using black ink dots. Above and beyond. So we regrouped our breakfast plans and went mainly vegetarian. The Herbivore was absolutely delicious! Antebellum cheese grits topped with garlicky kale, romanesco and a soft boiled egg. We added a second egg. Split with my hubby. So good!! My sister-in-law had the brioche French toast. French toast topped with honey better, fresh berries and pecan granola. Served with maple syrup. Amazing! Added the duck fat breakfast potatoes. Who knew that the flavor would be so enhanced with the onions, peppers and duck fat. Get this side! Not a coffee drinker, but my hubby really enjoyed the coffee that is sourced from Cusco, Peru. Adriana made sure that the cups were always full and hot. Thank you for the VIP service at Fixe Southern House. Resident discount applied. Born from Opelousas, Louisiana, breakfast served with a huge helping of southern hospitality.

We started with the biscuits and cinnamon roll. I would recommend both. The biscuits came with a jam, honey and whipped butter. The cinnamon roll, which may look a bit underwhelming had a such a great crispy texture on the outside while still being fluffy on the inside. The icing wasn't too sweet and complimented the roll nicely. For the table, we had the pollo frito biscuit w/duck fat potatoes, Brisket Benedict w/okra and the Fixe Breakfast entree w/maple sausage and potatoes. The pollo Frito was delicious, the chicken was seasoned well and maintained crunch even within the biscuit. Duck fat potatoes were also good but were even better after adding some salt. The brisket benny was okay, the texture of the brisket was very odd and didn't really hold up to the egg. Although the okra had a great flavor the batter was a bit too thick which made it chewy. The Fixe breakfast was great and the maple sausage was perfect. Our waitress was Adriana, she was great and very helpful. Overall we would definitely come back and look forward to trying dinner one night.

We had the pleasure of meeting Nana herself. Me and my mom enjoyed speaking with her. She was pleasant and friendly. I loved how she was very down to earth. My mom took a photo with her. My server was the sweetest and most polite person. She checked on me and my mom multiple times. She was friendly and helpful. So I must say my service was welcoming and AMAZING! I felt like part of the family! Now it's not a fancy place, but it was clean and cozy. Like a mom and pops place. Condiments are provided on the table. Even roses that were real are in a vase. You can dine in or they have a carry out side. Well I chose fish since that's what I wanted. The 2 piece filet meal comes with 2 sides. They will bring your food out in a plastic container. So if you have left overs it's already set to go. The food came out hot and fresh. The fish was fried nicely. I wish it was seasoned a bit more for my liking. It was pretty good though. It was a great size and again fried to perfection. The hush puppies were really tasty. The fried corn fritter was delicious. The pickled tartar sauce was unique and I loved it. OMG the cabbage was so DAMN GOOD! This stole the show. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned with love. It touched my soul and I wanted to lick my container. The Mac and Cheese was a NO for me. It was like black pepper and cheese sauce. It was just blah and II didn't even eat it. However, others may like it, but it wasn't that great. Sorry Nana! Overall I had a good visit! I will definitely come back and EAT when in the area. The cabbage won me over. I left feeling happy and full. The southern hospitality was FANTASTIC!

This sauce definitely makes a difference. You will be singing to the chicken GODS lol. It made the chicken taste so good. The fries were hot, a bit salty for my liking. They give you a generous portion of fries though. The sweet potato fries seem to be the popular choice. Everyone had them on their table. I will have to try those. Overall a very good visit!
