This place was so charming--the couple who run it were so delightful! The food was also great--after several days of indulging in Texas bbq, our California stomachs were ready for something light and fresh. The strawberry salad with feta and almonds was delicious, and I loved the vinaigrette--it was the homemade version of what that weird red "French dressing" that I hated as a kid was apparently trying to be! So good! The lettuce wraps with chicken salad and bacon were also fantastic, as was the creamy Italian sausage soup. Endless amounts of iced tea rounded everything out, and I was sad we didn't have time to try the crepes. If I ever find myself in Ballinger, TX again I will definitely be back! read more

We were driving through and wanted to try this place. The idea of crepes sounded like a nice change. But...Don't come on Thursday morning if you want crepes or specialty coffee, which means everything that was on their board. I guess the person that makes these things is not there on Thursday morning. Which left like two omelettes on their menu that you could order. When I tried to order the crepes the lady said she couldn't make them, they took too long. We were the only people in the restaurant. I was really looking forward to those crepes. We drive through here once a week on Thursday. Guess we won't go there. read more

Slow day at Sylvia's this morning was our great luck. We walked in and were treated like royalty, even allowing our dogs to sit under the table while we waited for a to go order. Don't understand why we were the only souls in the place because the food was outstanding. read more

Great food, owners are very nice, service is always spot on. Food tastes home made, so you feel it is good for you.

Omg if your driving through you have to stop at this hidden gem. The owner is true a gourmet chef. Every day she does a different special, Italian, French, you just never know what you'll get but it will be awesome! Glad we stumbled upon it. read more

My daughter and I stopped in on the way to Texas Tech. Neat little place with great service. The owners are very sweet. We each had the burgers (Jalapeño and plain). They were delicious. Served on a toasted French roll. We hung around and had the strawberry and lemon crepes and coffee (honey vanilla latte and the caramel macchiato). Both were fabulous. My daughter and I both loved this restaurant and will be stopping again on trips to TT. Great little restaurant. read more

Just stopped on whim passing through. Had the honey garlic siracha chicken special, with garlic rice and corn and green beans. Started with a cup of potato lentil soup. It was excellent. So nice to not eat a burger and fries in the car...although I bet their burger would be exceptional as well. Nice little gem. read more

This is the best homemade food in Runnels County. It's Italian, homemade Italian. Everything is made from scratch and the price always includes tax. The meals are healthy portions so you don't overstuff yourself. read more

This place has good service and a very nice atmosphere. They have indoor and outdoor seating and it is a very comfortable place to eat and talk. I got the Southwest burger. It was good but nothing very special. I am a burger snob though...so I have high expectations. They do have a good menu with sandwiches, salads, soups, and burgers. I will try this place out again...but next time, I think I'll get either a sandwich or a salad. Both looked good! read more

Our waitress was very friendly and the food was very good. The sandwiches, in pariticlar, were incredible. I love that there's a place in little ol' Ballinger to get a good cup of coffee. I loved the setup, very cute restaurant. I'll definitely stop by for another visit next time I'm in town. read more
