The interior is contemporary yet comfy, the staff is super friendly and helpful. There are food specials everyday of the week and it is impossible to decide what to order. Our server was helpful in us deciding. Monday's are a smash burger special but we decide to try the Fish Taco special, and they were the bomb! The drink selection was pretty incredible too. I chose an IPA called Little Lobster and it was fab! Tip with the draft menu, scan the QR code inside the drink menu to get the most up to date draft list. I will definitely be back here because there are so many more things on the menu that I want to try!

After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes before anyone greeted us. Once our server arrived, we found out that about half of the sides we wanted to order were already unavailable. We decided to give it a chance anyway. When the BBQ platter came out, the portions were surprisingly small, especially for the price. The food itself was just okay--nothing terrible, but nothing that stood out either. I could hear a cook/manager having a heated discussion by the bar which sort of killed the ambience. Overall, it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. Between the slow service, limited menu availability, small portions, and average food, I left wishing it had lived up to the hype. I genuinely wanted this place to be a new favorite, but it just didn't deliver.

We drove over an hour to try them out.

There was a young thin bartender girl that was very friendly and actually waited on people, but my cherry lime smash drink from her being off was either her being new with no one to help her or the bar's recipe being pretty bad. The beer selection, ranch, and fries were good. The moose track burger was okay, but bland and salty. We're in no rush to drive over an hour again and waste over an hour sitting and spend around $100 again on such a so so underwhelming experience. I'm sure it's better just for drinking with different staff.

Their menu has what you'd expect from a classic diner, prices are cheap, and service is quick! We got the Country Style Eggs and Patty Melt. Both lacked basic seasonings like salt & pepper. If I was rating off the food alone, I'd give it a 3/5. The home fries in the Country Style Eggs could've been crispier and adding hot sauce definitely saved this a bit. The biscuit we got with it was homemade and so delicious. It was warm, buttery, and satisfying. The Patty Melt was a bit dry and desperately needed a sauce. I used ketchup and asked for pickles which helped. The rye bread was surprisingly not dry and grilled nicely with butter. It was definitely a heavy meal but we needed it after a long drive. It's not the kind of place where you'll have an amazing meal but it'll do the job at a super affordable price.

That being said, we were seated quickly and food also arrived quickly. Nothing here will likely wow you, and it does have a heavy slant towards either grilled (hot dogs, hamburgers) or deep fried (chicken fingers, mozz. sticks) fare. But the other usual suspects (Greek Salad, Meatloaf, Chili, etc.) also made an appearance. For the price, the food was fine. I am not sure what makes it Texas or what makes it a Cafe, but if I were in town I would come back.

Service was outstanding -- friendly, attentive, and actually seemed happy to be there, which deserves recognition these days. The place was clean (including the tables, floors, and everything I usually side-eye). Burger was on point -- hot, juicy, no nonsense. The salad was fresh, which already puts this location ahead of expectations. Beer came in large glasses and was super cold, exactly how beer is supposed to be when you've been driving too long. Is it fine dining? No. Is it pretending to be something it's not? Also no. It's Applebee's doing Applebee's very well. Not much else to ask for -- and sometimes that's the highest compliment.

This place also has ice cream. Which kept her pretty busy. Walking in the place is welcoming. There are arcade games to the left as soon as you walk in. There is also a table game board with Pac-Man, Mario and a bunch of others. You can tell they use fresh bread when you can see it on the cooling rack by the kitchen. We both ordered smash burgers. The burgers were not seasoned, I understand some people don't like a lot of seasoning but they were almost bland. Now the roll is worth the burger. I love bread and they used fresh rolls for their burgers. The vegetables looked fresh but the tomato didn't have any flavor. My wife got the potato salad and I got the Mac and Cheese. My wife says the potato salad was okay but also a little bland. The Mac and cheese was also kinda bland. Now maybe I am used to a lot of flavor We will probably try this place again with other menu options.
