Some days back, my Lovely Wife met up with her Son and went to Robert Lee for lunch. Joe ordered a…read moreDouble-Cheeseburger and said it was HUGE and very good. So, my Lovely Wife, knowing that I Love Cheeseburgers, suggested that we have my Birthday Lunch in Robert Lee. So, we did just that and met up with Joe at "Another Place Cafe". My Wife and I arrived a little past what we scheduled, but close enough. Joe was already inside, enjoying a cup of coffee. Another Place Cafe, from the outside, looks like a hole-in-the-wall type, but inside it's done up nicely. Joe had a Birthday gift for me, all wrapped. I opened it, and it was a model of a Volkswagen Bus, with flames - pretty cool. I will add this to my collection of model cars in the office.
Don't remember who our server was, and it's not on the receipt. Joe ordered a basket of hand battered Large Onion Rings, served with Ranch for us to share. My Wife ordered the "Grilled Cheese Sandwich"; three slices of cheese, 2 American and 1 Swiss, on lightly buttered grilled bread, and a side of Large Onion Rings. Joe is having the "Chicken Strips" served with a bowl of Creamy Gravy, and two sides, choosing Mashed Potatoes and Fried Okra. I am going with what I mentioned, their "Double-Cheeseburger"; Two 1/2 pound Seasoned Patties & Two slices of American Cheese, with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles, and sauce on a Soft Hamburger Bun. Choose Sweet Potato Fries as my side. My drink is Diet Dr Pepper.
Orders are in, and our basket of Large Onion Rings has arrived. They are Golden Brown with a nice crunch and a very fresh onion ring with nice flavor. They are Delicious and a very nice ranch to dip them into. This place is pretty busy and has some great write-ups. Soon our food arrived, and Joe's Chicken Strips are Golden Brown and HUGE, and look perfectly breaded. They must be delicious because he ate all of them. My Wife enjoyed her Grilled Cheese Sandwich, and I drooled over my Double-Cheeseburger. It is evenly stacked up high with a couple of nice-sized patties covered with cheese. Took my first bite and this is Yummlicious, with a perfect balance of Cheese to these patties. A Huge slice of Tomato with lots of Lettuce and 4 Pickles that add that inside crunch. This is a great tasting Cheeseburger, and I see why Joe recommended this. My Sweet Potato fries are prepared just the way I like'em, fresh with lots of flavor.
I was only going to eat half of the Cheeseburger, but then it tasted so good, and I was drooling with liciousness, I couldn't help but eat the whole thing. Lots of customers came in, some stayed to eat while others picked-up and took out. Everyone in the area and beyond knows about Another Place Cafe, and it's well attended.
If you are looking for an out-of-the-way-place, the Another Place Cafe is that place. It's only 40 minutes from San Angelo, and it's some really good food, no matter what you order. Our Server (name unknown) received the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'above-n-beyond' the norm - and she didn't know what to think of it, but had a huge smile on her face.
