Came here with my family; this was my first time, and I have to say I enjoyed the food -- it was hearty. I had the omelette; it was a nice size and filling. The pancakes were also good, not too big, just a good size. Service was a bit slow, but overall okay. I would go back and try other items. Overall, I had a good experience. read more

Great pricing, it's hard to find good food (or any food) this cheap lately. They open up early so it's great for early risers. The food is super filling and they have so many side options. Service is always quick. It's not flashy but it's one of our favorite spots for breakfast. read more

Had chicken fried steak and hash browns, this time around. Everything was hot and yummy. Went for breakfast and lunch this week. The tables and booths are numbered, all you need to do is tell the cashier the number and she gives the order back to you, so its all correct. The staff is always happy and polite nice place for family and to bring friends. read more

I went in on a random Sunday to order the catfish and grits. The food was really good but it's very small inside. It had the vibes of a small Cracker Barrel. But super affordable and hearty meals! read more

Typical diner breakfast food-nothing spectacular, but still good! The atmosphere is great and service was excellent. You get a lot of food for your money. And the prices are very reasonable. read more

Rowlett Cafe was very good. The reviews on yelp were misleading but I'm here to say that Rowlett Cafe is solid. The service was very friendly, the food was hot and fresh. It was very tasty and affordable. Big open place with lots of tables. They even had sugar free syrup for my boyfriend which was a huge plus! We will be back! read more

We just tried this cafe a couple of weeks ago despite living nearby in garland for a few years and let me just say it exceeded expectations! The service was great from start to finish and the food was delicious and affordable. Not to mention the portions were big and I even had leftovers. We tried the build your own breakfast with 5 items each and everything was great. Some of the standouts were the pancakes as well as the biscuits and sausage gravy. I definitely recommend this place for breakfast. The ambiance had a rustic diner vibe with plenty of seating and large booths. read more

The food is always tasty. You get plenty of food for a very reasonable price. Love eating there.

Fine. Nothing to celebrate or condemn. Food was as ordered, some things likely not homemade like chicken fried steak, gravy, and biscuits. No wait on a Sunday mid morning which is sometimes what you are looking for. read more

Food was ok. Service was lacking. Ran out of drinks and we were not checked on once food was dropped off. It was Mother's Day so that may explain it, although, we've been here before and they've been just as busy and service hadn't suffered. Perhaps they were short handed. read more

Second time we have been here and the first time the Philly Cheese Steak was delicious; second time I ordered a Chicken Fried Steak which was a cutlet, pre breaded and dropped into the fryer....accompanied by okra, potatoes and a slice of toasted white bread!!! This is a place to go when, as a diner, you know 'no better'.......you now 'know better'!! Service on both occasions has been good!! Rowlett sorely needs more privately owned restaurants! Support the good ones "IF" they arrive in town; discard the chains and restaurants that have no clue! read more

Arrived for breakfast 7:20am to beat the crowd. Brand New business so locals flocking in for now. Finally waitress arrived to take drink AND food order. Passed on basic pancake combo. Checked out the breakfast special: 2 small sausage biscuits & gravy, 2 eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, and a drink. I added a fried pork chop and a side if grits. Result: Staff was nice. Coffee had a weak muddy taste , creamer smelled off,biscuit/sausage small tasty but not homemade. Not sure what oil used to fry eggs, hashbrowns, and pork chop but very off-putting. The pork chop: frozen, thin, dry, difficult to cut. Needless to say I left with 80% of my food on the plate. The waitress asked "how was everything... read more

Stop for breakfast and the place wasn't crowded at all. Our server was great and attentive. My wife and I both ordered the breakfast special ( 2-eggs, 2-pcs bacon, 2-sausage patties, 2-pancakes and hash browns. ( a lot of food) . The eggs were tough, the sausage patties were so tough I had to tear with my hands to ear it! Hash browns were ok. read more

Visit was disappointing, ordered lunch. The menu says roll, but it's a slice of white bread. Sauce for Hamburger steak was cold, tasted like it was spooned from a can. Fried okra was freshly made. The french fries were a replacement for the green beans sent back, they were freshly cooked. The hamburger meat was fine. If they would make some improvements, this place would be Hoppin. The service was great. read more

My wife and I went to Rowlett Cafe and it was OK.. it the best or worse. I am thinking it is Ala carte. I had a bacon English muffin and my wife had a breakfast burrito. My opinion with the owner, what you need to do with one item then don't give a big plate. Need to use a small plate and it looks like bigger sandwich (an illusion). read more

Only thing better than the food is the service. Staff is always very friendly and accommodating no matter how busy they are. And they usually stay busy. Fried fish is good, not greasy. Patty melt is highly recommended. I order the breakfast scramble with tortillas and it's more than enough for me. read more

When they first opened it was super awesome--- BUT Over the last couple months it's gotten worse and makes no sense--- the need more or better help in the kitchen -- the quality of the food is pretty good but preparation is gone down hill. Orders are always messed up in one way or the other-- did they try it yes but then the other half of your food is cold or you Partner or Group has to eat without you I hope this place fixes her ignorance because Rowlett needs another place to eat read more

Good breakfast! Not any less expensive than Hubbards but definitely fresher. Everyone was friendly and my coffee cup was never empty. Nothing fancy just good fresh food and I never felt rushed. read more

Rowlett Cafe - Chicken fried steak and sunny side up eggs on the left, chicken fried chicken and scrambled eggs on the right! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rowlett, Texas

Service was ok. Got the hamburger steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and a side salad. Hamburger steak was kinda thin but had a great taste. Supposed to have brown gravy but what I got was steak sauce in a plastic cup? Potatoes came with cream gravy not brown. And they were very dry. Salad was shredded lettuce and cheese and ranch dressing in a plastic cup. Oh and menu said with a roll and I got very dry toast. Put butter on it but didn't really help. I really think they need more training on what good food is supposed to be. I was very disappointed and it was my first and probably last visit read more

Very nice portion sizes, fast service and good was very tasty. Breakfast looked fantastic. Will have to try that next time.

Give your table a check to pay at the counter like a normal restaurant I don't want to tell the cashier what ordered read more

Tried this out this morning and we were very pleased! The build your own breakfast is perfect for me because I don't have to make substitutions! Food was really good. Service was amazing. Our coffee was always refilled with a smile! Our group had country fried steak breakfast with sides, country fried chicken breakfast with sides, and two of us built our own that included eggs, French toast, biscuits gravy, sausage patties, bacon, fruit and toast. All was so good. We will definitely be back. Not sure what the last review is referring to about having to repeat your order when paying...that isn't the case at all. Everyone is so nice here! Give it a shot! read more

Been there 3 times. The cafe is clean with a nice atmosphere. Staff is very friendly and the service is great. The food is good. Tell them your table number when you check out and you're good to go. Ignore the one star ratings . read more

Nice little gem food was great only down side they need to upgrade gets really full not a lot of space

Great food and service, and a great selection on the menu! if you don't like the different combos or plates you can do everything individually to make your own combos which is a good feature read more

If chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes are what you're craving, this restaurant is not a good choice. It was the worst I've ever tasted. I've eaten better CFS in a frozen Boston Market TV dinner. The mashed potatoes were instant, and the gravy tasted like it came in the form of powder and mixed with water. The only thing that was delicious was the pinto beans. They were perfectly seasoned, and I could tell they were homemade. The waitress was friendly when she took my order, but she never checked to see if I wanted more tea. I was going to give this place three stars until I paid my bill. I mentioned that the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes were the worst I've ever tasted and should be removed from the menu. Instead of apologizing, she wanted to argue by telling me it's one of the number one items. No one with taste buds would ever order that CFS more than once. To be fair, I'm not suggesting the restaurant should be avoided because today's meal is all I've tried. The breakfast items I saw there looked good, and a hamburger being carried to another table looked good. I just highly recommend avoiding the CFS, mashed potatoes, and gravy. The pinto beans would be worth a trip back. I highly recommend those. My suggestion to the owner is don't waste your customer's money by serving processed food. Learn how to make scratch-made chicken fried steak, gravy, and mashed potatoes. Find a good recipe for homemade yeast rolls and save the toast for breakfast. I spent $19 and change on your food and two-thirds of it was left on my plate. I could have spent less than $5 at the grocery store on a TV dinner that tasted better. read more

My wife and I went there for the first time. We were seated immediately and chose a booth, which was comfortable. The service and the food were excellent. We both got different styles of omelets, which included a side. The portion size was more than enough, and we both took the leftovers home. I had coffee, which the server checked on me often for refills. There was plenty of seating, and it started getting busy soon after we arrived. We will be back. read more
