    Pecan Belgian waffles

    First time trying and only have great things to say!! Allie, our waitress was full of energy, smiles and answered all of our questions with ease. Beautiful lady! I had the Eggs Benedict with spinach and tomatoes, my mother had the pecan Belgian waffles. Both meals were delicious, they also have a full espresso machine and offer multiple flavored lattes (cold/hot). Will be back again!

    Classic Breakfast with extra egg and extra sausage gravy.

    Sunday morning almost 10 am. We were seated right away. So far my impression is great. Food came and looks delicious. Sorry maybe it was because the place was busy but my fried egg was cold. So was my hubbys scrambled eggs. But putting the gravy helped warm them up. Sausage gravy very good. Bacon good and sausage was thick. I had the kids plate bacon and eggs. Hubs had the classic breakfast with an extra egg, cheese and extra sausage gravy. The place is hopping and everyone is working keeping the place running. Very friendly staff. Can't wait to try lunch or dinner!!

    Fluffy biscuits! Nom nom

    Was in town and wanted a good ole breakfast. The Texas Cafe hit the spot! Nice interior with Texas decor everywhere. The service was spectacular. The food was incredible! I went with the chicken fried chicken, scrambled eggs, hash browns and biscuits. Everything was cooked to perfection. The chicken was moist and not heavily breaded, eggs were fluffy, hash hashbrowns crisp as I like and the biscuits were fluffy! Also, had the yogurt and fruit bowl. The fruit was fresh. Will definitely be back when I'm in town again!

    Chilaquiles Presentation was pretty, but had no taste. You couldn't barely find the scrambled eggs & drenched in way too much salsa.

    We tried this restaurant since it was super close to our hotel, and it seem very popular by the ratings The food was average, not very hot.

    Food and service I had always been amazing. It is one of our favorite places to eat in Longview, TX

    Very good. We would have given a 5 star review however the sausage gravy was over salted. We will definitely return though.

The atmosphere here is quasi-dark, in a Texas Roadhouse/Red Lobster sort of way, and the seating is comfy. Bathrooms are also clean. Service here on my handful of visits has been spectacular. All of that speaks to excellent management at this location. Though I think that pickles should be served cold and from a jar, the other people in my party insisted on the fried version here. They loved them. The fried mozzarella ('crooked fried cheese') was average. While there was nothing wrong with it, there was also nothing spectacular about it. The fish and chips, on the other hand, were pretty damn good -- crispy and hot with a nice thick fillet. If only they could've served it between two slices of toasted bread. Anyway, the fries were also nice and crispy, and the slaw was crunchy, cool and creamy. Someone else in my party ordered the mushroom burger, and they were quite pleased. Honestly, it looked divine. The draft beer menu here consists of major brews with nary an IPA, though there are some macro bottled selections. Still, everything was served quickly and cold. It's rare that I eat at chains, unless I'm on the road and need to swing through a drive-thru. This place, however, does a very good job.

    We have been to Cargo a few times. The food is good. Love listening to live music!! Kate, our…read moreserver, is always awesome. We did recently go to hear live music and was moved inside due to weather. We joined some friends at their table which made 10 total. PSA, when you go to Cargo with a party of 10 or more they charge a 20% "autograt" which is for busboys and other staff. That gratuity does not include the server. This was verify by management. When paying out, it's on a small computer screen that shows subtotal and different options for tipping. They do not give an itemized ticket. We asked for a ticket to make sure we were charged for what we ordered. That's when we noticed the "autograt". They also will not give a receipt after payment. We asked for one and was told but management they can't give us one. So depending on your server tip add the extra 20% for the "autograt". If you tip the server 20% your tip for the whole ticket is 40%.

    I went to Cargo because it was a nice day and I wanted a meal outside with my family, where the…read morekids could have stuff to do. When we arrived we walked through the gate to no idea what to do. No idea if we were to seat ourselves and no host station to provide guidance on the matter. As I stood there lost, I noticed QR codes placed on the end of the tables and noticed someone else walk straight in and to a table. Assuming that I was to seat myself, I continued on to the table, sat down, and scanned the code. Once in the menu, I ordered the food and drinks we wanted and began the long wait. During this wait I was looking around periodically trying to see if maybe we had done this wrong, but no servers were coming to the surrounding tables that had people seated. Immediately I believed this must be a place you order, they bring it, and then you order again if you need more (more hands off). As my kid ran off to play in the kids area, someone finally passed by (35 minutes in) and asked if we had been helped. I explained we had utilized the QR code to order and was informed it was no longer in use, due to orders being submitted incomplete. The server checked the system, verified the order (which was missing items), and eventually said he would get it in for us. After about another 15 minutes we finally had our drinks (mostly). One of the drinks required some mixing, but we got the first half, followed by the second half a while later. Now that I can add bartender at Cargo to my résumé, I went back to waiting on the food and watching the large screen on the stage. After about an hour of being seated, our food arrived (prior to the appetizer) and was pretty cold. The fries were cold on the outside but more so on the inside. The macaroni and cheese was cold to the touch, and even the pizza was cold. It seemed as though the food maybe was sat in the same area code as a heat lamp, but not directly under it. I informed the server (different from the one that initially arrived before disappearing like a cheap Houdini act) that our appetizer was missing. She politely apologized and retrieved a cold appetizer from the kitchen, explaining it was set aside for another table (kind of understandable). This likely could have been addressed if there was continuity with the server, but I suppose he had traveled to tend the tables he has in one of the other Cargo multi-verses. I explained that we did not have a silverware or napkins (somewhat necessary for macaroni and cheese) she said she would get us some. Much like the embassy in Benghazi when under attack, we were left without assistance so we had to take action ourself. I walked to the building, found someone that resembled what I believed to be the Captain of the restaurant version of the Edmond Fitzgerald, and explained I needed to-go boxes and wanted to pay for the worst dining experience I've had since deploying to Afghanistan. The manager was actually very polite and was helpful and apologetic about the experience. He tried to comp the meal, but I explained that I just wanted to take it home and heat it up so I could eat. We eventually paid and experienced the best part of the restaurant...leaving. It should be noted that there were other patrons present, but it was only maybe at about 50% full. I Will say that upon meeting our server, he explained that he was blessed, which makes me happy to know someone was. Overall, unless I have a hankering for mediocrity in service and cold food, I do not believe l'll be returning. If I want to pay money to have cold food and let the kids play, I'll just go experience the torture that is chuck-e-cheese.
