So very unfortunate but the food was awful. The restaurant was also run down and neither the food or it fit the price point. Very disappointing evening for my three girlfriends and I. I felt so bad that I paid for all of their meals. read more

Joe always gives a great presentation. We've been to 4 of his restaurants & each one was outstanding!

The food is wonderful and I highly recommend this dining experience. We look forward to our next meal from here.

We had our wedding party here, it was so cozy and I loved it! This man is genuine, sweet, and generous.

I hate to do it, because running a small restaurant is so hard, but we stopped by because of the good (although not recent) reviews...... and evidently the place must have really gone down hill. The owner was the only person there so he is also the cook and waiter. He is also seems to be a very good guy. But that does not make up for the overall quality, tiny portions and surroundings of the place. I'm not going g to hammer him because he is such a nice guy, but I don't know how the place is still in business.. read more

This place is an amazing hidden gem! You must note, however, that you cannot go in here if you're looking for a quick meal. Be prepared to take your time, relax, and chat with the owner...who is also the server and the chef. He is a super friendly guy who spends some time getting to know you, which is nice. The place looks like a small converted house and is super cozy and comfortable. The menu is not very extensive, but there were quite few specials listed on the board. I ordered the shrimp Diablo with Bok choy and roasted potatoes and my coworker ordered the Rosemary pork loin with the same sides. The food looked amazing and tasted even better! Not to mention the amount of food we were each served. For myself, I received 6 LARGE shrimp wrapped in bacon with jalapeño. I was full halfway through, but it was so good that I cleared my plate. This place was amazing. I loved everything about it! I rarely give a place 5 stars, but this place more than deserves it. I would come back here again in a heartbeat. read more

Amazing little restaurant. The food was cooked to perfection, and the people who run it are delightful. I had been wanting to check this place because of all the good reviews. Since my friend was visiting from Seattle, we decided to be adventurous and take him there. He loved it, and so did we. A couple of things to know: *Go there when you want to have a leisurely meal and are not in a hurry. The food is cooked to order, so it can take a little longer than at other places, but it was not that long in my opinion. * BYOB. They do not sell alcohol, but they said you can bring your own. * Cash Only! We had to run to a nearby gas station and get cash out of the ATM. They were pretty cool about it, but better come prepared. Please visit Sardis Point Cafe, you will love it. read more

I've been meaning to visit this dive for a while, and honestly it was just a matter of my mood and timing that I haven't. The hours are limited- but so worth paying attention to. This is such a great place... one of the rare kinds that renews your faith in humanity. The food was delicious, like a flavorful home cooked meal made by a close friend- very customized and a laid back atmosphere. I really like the owner, he's just a really nice guy. I got to spend an evening chatting with his wife about life and it was a great experience. This is one of those places you often forget about but really regret it each time you step inside. Cozy, friendly, really great food. Make sure to note: it's cash only! Lol read more

Absolutely the best steak I have had. This place has a few laid back feel just the husband and wife team. This owner has owned several large restaurants in past years so he definitely knows how to cook. Cash or check only but it is so worth every second of your time spent there. Can't wait to go back. read more

The ambience is unusual which makes this place even better. Feels like you are walking into someone's eclectic home. Your host, waiter, server, chef, cashier and busboy are one and the same. Can't stress enough, don't come here if you want in and out service! All of our steaks were cooked just as we ordered. Vegetables were very good. Great "staff". Took business associates here and all loved the atmosphere. I usually don't eat steaks out as I REALLY like my own. Definitely plan to introduce others to this quaint place. read more

My wife and I are driving home after a fantastic dinner at this establishment. Walking in the door we were immediately greeted by Joe McGee. Joe is the owner of a this small hidden gem. My wife and I both ordered a burger and we were not disappointed. There was a very large tomatoe that tasted like it was just pocked and cut. Also try his cheese sticks, he said he makes those too and boy oh boy was it good. The decor was so cool, old news papers detailing the death of Bonnie and Clyde and lots of old vintage navy recruiting posters. If you are looking for an upscale, quick and satisfying experience then just keep driving. This place was a laid back, relaxing, great tasting, fantastic experience. This is a must for any couple wanting a nice meal and pleasurable experience. FYI- this is a BYOB cafe that only accepts cash or check and it is so worth every single dime! read more

What a neat place! A tiny little old house with a big patio. Some of the best home cooking we've had in a long time. Everything is made fresh, from scratch, and the flavors are surprisingly complex and subtle for southern comfort food. One warning, they don't take credit cards, so bring cash, or dig out your checkbook. But go! This place is well worth it. read more

The place is very rustic, but clean. I had the chicken fried steak it was good, but I really enjoyed the fried potatoes and mushrooms. Strawberry cheese cake for dessert. Stayed a while and talked with Joe the owner, cook and server. I will come back to try the steaks. The food is made to order, so be patient, it will be worth it! read more

Met at the location and was skeptical when we pulled up, put was pleasantly surprised once the door was opened and we were Welcomed in by owner/operator. Hade a couple of appetizers and pleasantly changed to Happy. Happy turned into Ugh I ate to much. Never judge a book by its cover. A must try if you are in the area!! read more

It's quaint and the epitome of rustic chic. Good place of you want a bit of country nostalgia. If you are looking for down home, country cooking, with a hometown feel then this place is it. Comfort food with friendly folk! 4 stars for rustic ambiance and friendly service. read more

Nice change from all of the chain places. Food was awesome! Steaks cooked to perfection and the sides were yummy too! Didn't give it a five just because it is cash only which I didn't know. Had to hit an ATM which cost a little extra. Guy who owns it was super friendly. Place is a hole in the wall but don't let that put you off. Oh yeah, water was nasty-get a drink instead. read more

Wow is the first thing that comes to mind to describe this place. Saw the reviews and thought let's try it! When we showed up was not sure if it was open, it almost looks like someone's house. We had a great meal and have been back a few times since. Great food but strange place. I like it but I'm sure some would not. To each their own !!! read more

Joe was by himself on a Saturday night and the service was still impeccable, what a great eclectic atmosphere, and the food was outstanding! We live a few miles from this treasure and the only thing I have found wrong is that it has taken me so long to discover it! read more

We just finished. I had sautéed tilapia with sautéed potatoes and green beans, Susan had grilled tuna steak, assorted vegetables and sautéed potatoes. Mine was delicious as expected and Susan says it was the best food she has eaten in a long while. It is THAT good. We are sharing a chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Need I say more? Try it for yourselves. You will not be disappointed!!!!!!!! read more

Love this place. Joe (the owner) runs a nice, quiet restaurant with a small town feeling. I've stopped there many nights with my son after baseball for a late burger. Good burgers. The catfish is excellent too. read more

Byron and I went to Sardis Point Cafe because of the nice reviews. The property is a nice little home with plenty of parking out front. Once you get inside, the ambiance is low lighting and feels like you are having dinner with friends. ..and you are! Byron ordered fish and it looked yummy. I opted for a combination of shrimp scampi and stuffed jalapeños. All of the food was fresh, served hot, and tasted amazing! Sardis will be a weekly visit for us! Reasonable prices and great food not to mention Joe, the chef and owner is just awesome!!! Take a drive and go there...you will be pleased! read more

First off the owner is very likeable and I suspect this is a big part of why he has such good ratings, to the point of being misleading. The place itself is nice and quaint. The fried mushrooms and stuffed jalapenos were frozen and not homemade so I would not recommend these. The bok choy side was tasty though. My ribeye steak was low quality so despite being cooked to the proper temperature of medium-rare, it was not that enjoyable. Shrimp Scampi was pretty good but no butter sauce or anything like that, just large shrimp well cooked with minimal seasoning. This place is fit for locals but not the sort of place you make a special trip to like I did coming from Hillsboro. People keep mentioning that the food takes a long time but it really doesn't, unless maybe the place is full of people, nobody else was there when we went. I probably won't be back but I could not bring myself to give a lower rating to a good man who is probably struggling to make a living. I guess I am pretty picky about my food and maybe the locals are just happy to have a place to go. Sorry. read more

The wife and I stumbled upon this restaurant by accident on our way to the BBQ place next door. The exterior is deceptive for its appearance of a small house. Inside, the decor is that of an antique shop. I was surprised to find that the owner was none other than Joe who previously ran the Banana Boat and New York New York restaurants. Both of his former restaurants had great food and this restaurant is no exception. I had the serloin steak and my wife had the chicken fried chicken. both were tasty and tender. Service is laid back as Joe is both the cook and the host so if you are pressed for time go elsewhere. We shared a table with one of the locals and had a delightful conversation with the meal. We will definitely be back. Note: Cash only. read more

We just had dinner here for the first time and it was really good! We've passed by many times but never ventured to try it until reading several positive Yelp reviews. The folks are super friendly and the dinning area felt like I was eating at a relatives home. We ordered chicken fried steak and grilled chicken breast. Sides were sautéed green beans and sautéed potatoes, French fries and Texas toast. It was all very good! We will be back! read more

First off, if you are looking for a VERY GOOD STEAK Dinner, you have hit the jackpot. Today my wife and I invited out friends to dinner, and we brought them here. The Owner/Waiter/Busboy/Chef Joe greated us warmly. He had for a Special tonight "KING CRAB LEGS"!!! THEY WERE DELICIOUS. Everyone placed their orders. I asked Joe, " what the weight of the Crab Legs were, he said just over a pound of legs". So I ordered the Legs and a T-Bone steak. He said that the steak was just over " 2 (TWO) POUNDS... Helloooooo Dolly!!! I asked for it to be cooked RARE! Within 20 minutes, out comes our orders. All Entrees we're PERFECTLY COOKED. Mine was cooked to perfection. When we were finished with dinner, Joe brings the Dreaded "Check". Mind you, that there were 2 orders of the KING CRAB LEGS, 2 16 oz Ribeye steaks + my GIANT 2 (TWO) POUND T-BONE STEAK. At any other restaurant, just the Crab Legs and 2 (TWO) POUND T-BONE STEAK would be around $100.00. For the entire check came to $145.38. Since this restaurant does NOT take Credit Cards and Since I am MARRIED MAN and carry very little cash, we only had $120.00. We told Joe what our problem was, he said and I QUOTE " You guys are local, right? We said yes, he said PAY ME THE REST LATER"!!!! I couldn't believe what was just said to us. We told him that we will be back tonight to settle the balance. He said to not worry and come back anytime in the week... I was blown away. I have NEVER heard of that kind of INTEGRITY and TRUST. In a society that will make you scrounge up $.02 cents ( 2 pennies for those that went to public school ) to see a man that takes PRIDE IN HIMSELF, is just Awesome. We told Joe, that we will be back in the morning and pay him. He graciously said "OK". To say the least, we will be back again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again!!!! Sorry, got carried away.... read more

One of the most unique restaurants we have ever been to. Just as the other reviewers say, don't let the building fool you. The owner is the cook, the host, and the waiter...and a really nice guy! We had the steak & lobster and the Rosemary pork loin. Simply delish! We will dine there again when we are back in the area. read more

Awesome food. Great service. Joe was awesome. Come see them, it's worth the wait as the food is from scratch!

From the guy who had banana boat on 287 towards midlothian a long time ago. Great prices and FANTASTIC food! Best fried catfish ever! Crispy on the outside and SO moist on the inside! Everything truly is fantastic. Cash only, but it's totally worth hitting the atm for this place!!! Highly, highly recommend read more

Sardis Point Cafe is a hidden little gem in the Waxahachie area. It is eclectic, no hurry, enjoy life type of restaurant, well worth the short drive. Mushrooms florentine was chosen as an appetizer. We ended up fighting over who got the last bite. For entrees we had sirloin steak, shrimp Diablo and CFS and split them three ways. I couldn't make up my mind which one was the best! We had side dishes of fried potatoes, bok choy, corn, rice and sauté spinach. Each was well prepared and delightful. The staff were fun and helpful. Great food, personable staff, reasonable prices and cool decor brought smiles all around. Try Sardis Point Cafe. You won't be disappointed. read more

I wish I could give this guy and place a better rating but I spent quite a lot for an undercooked steak with zero flavor and scarce amount of sides. Maybe other items are good or I caught him on an extremely off night? read more

Definitely worth the stop just to talk with the owner! The food is a bonus. I had the chicken sandwich and my husband had the chicken fried steak and they were both amazing. read more

Visited today for the first time thanks to some great reviews on here and we're not let down. Joe came off as a great guy and his cooking was awesome! The atmosphere is definitely unique, but in the best kind of way! Located in an old house with all sorts of interesting nick nacks hanging up. The chicken fried steak that I had was great, could possibly use a little more seasoning (but maybe I'm just too addicted to salt) but the breading was perfectly crispy and the steak inside was good and thick! My wife had a cheeseburger which she thoroughly enjoyed as well. Definitely recommend for an interesting night out! Also, Joe mentioned that he DOES take credit cards now, but being a small business, I would preferably take cash or check with me. We paid by check as we had no cash, but paying with credit cards causes the business owner to pay fees, so we were more than happy to whip out the checkbook... It may only be 3% or so but every little bit helps for a small business! read more

Such a unique and fun spot. We went based on Yelp reviews and are so glad we did. The place is a cross between quaint and eclectic. Joe, the owner, was our waiter and chef. He was very nice and told some hilarious stories. The food was legit. I ordered the shrimp diablo and wish I had more. Definitely check this one out! As an aside, he only accepts cash and checks. read more

Good food & very "eclectic" setting, like going to grandmas for dinner!

This place is definitely a hidden gem!!! Steak was perfect and the diablo shrimp was amazing! The owner made us feel like family too! For warning cash or check! read more

Never heard of this place until tonight! We found it online and it is the best kept secret around, I can't believe it's not packed here! It will be when more people find out about it. read more
