    Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
    Sharon B.

    Food = AMAZING! Service = Wonderful! We stopped for lunch and it didn't disappoint! We will be back.

    0.25¢ Coffee!! Is real, and not bad tasting. Food was really good, service was nice; it wasn't the welcoming small town that we are accustomed to but they were nice. The bathroom was nice and clean. The grits were flaming hot, temperature wise, which could be good but I had to take them home because they were too hot to eat there. Their eggs were a bit too runny for our taste but we just won't order them again. The salsa was delicious. Everything else pancakes, toast, fried potatoes and biscuits were great. Our next trip going by Madisonville will definitely include a stop at Walker's Cafe.

    Hamburger

    Cute small town cafe with a nice menu of salads, sandwiches, burgers, and baskets, plus a nice daily selection of healthy options. Bonus - lunch comes with an ice cream dessert! As expected, service was great. If you're passing through and want something more than fast food, head towards main street and grab a bite.

    Huevos Rancheros
    Sylvia M.

    My husband and I were visiting from Houston and we stopped here for breakfast. The place was packed but we got seated quickly. Our waitress was prompt and taking our order and she was friendly. We both ordered the huevos rancheros. The sala was fantastic- I asked for more and was quickly brought more. The beans were just ok and lacked salt. The potatoes were nice and crispy and delicious! Incredibly, the coffee was only 0.25 cents and it was very good! This is probably going to be the best you can find in Madisonville. This place is very casual and because it is so busy, it is kind of loud.

    Chicken Fried Burger & Onion Rings

    Chicken Fried burger was amazing and so were the onion rings! I finished the meal off with a strawberry shake which was perfect but really huge!!! To top it all off our server Candace was phenomenal!!! Absolutely a must visit when in Madisonville!!!

    Chicken Fried Burger is a life experience all its own.

    Amazing atmosphere, service, food!!! If Walker's isn't on you bucket list it should be!

    BEST freaking pancake I have had in a VERY LONG time! You'd think, how can someone mess up a pancake? Right! But there are places all over that really do! The rest of our food was equally amazing. No frills, staff is more than attentive. We got asked like five times if we would like a coffee refill. The restaurant was clean and organized. They have homemade cakes/desserts on display. It was a wonderful treat to experience this gem while we were in town for the annual Mushroom Festival.

    French Walker's Dip
    George H.

    Such a great spot to stop for lunch. Some of the best onion rings in Texas. The French dip was juicy and tender and the turkey sandwich was made with real turkey

    My mug is half-full. But, I can't help believing that we're all worshiping the golden calf and G-d's biting His tongue.

    Good Hamburger and loved the homemade chips. Was greeted with a big smile when we walked in the door. I guess they knew we were not locals.

    Love everything they serve. Always order either fried catfish or a burger. The blue bell ice cream that comes with every meal is a plus too!

    Farmhouse Cafe - Chicken fried steak with green beans and mashed potatoes

    Farmhouse Cafe is our go to lunch spot whenever in the area and we have never been disappointed! We…read morewere greeted and seated immediately. They warm up the table with this amazing cornbread & hot rolls Today I had the fried catfish with fries and coleslaw. It was deliciously light & flaky but so filling I only ate 1 filet. The coleslaw was the best I've ever had! Ever! And I don't normally eat/like hush puppies but I always try and thumbs up; different from what I've tried in years past. My husband had the chicken fried steak with okra & mashed potatoes which I got a 'it was good' response which really means... he ate all of it with no complaints. Lol very rare to get a 'fantastic' or 'delicious' outta him. There are no booths, which is my preferred dining experience but we're not here for the comfort! The table was a little wobbly but I didn't care, I love staring at the pie shelf while dining! Nicely country style decorum. Great food delivered quickly with a smile! prices are inline with the quality/quantity! Thank you! Happy New Year!

An appetizer main and dessert We got served some fresh cornbread and dinner rolls and also had fried pickles and hot wings. Then we had the chicken fried chicken and different sides. Finally we had banana pie and coconut pie as dessert. I know we ordered lots of fried food and it was good. The pies were not good. The banana was all brown and the coconut time was so thick and not good at all. I will go back if I visited the town again

    It's a place I've driven past for decades but never stepped into, but today is the day to change…read morethat. The moment I walked in, every face seemed to turn my way. I was the only speck of pepper in a room full of salt. With all eyes on me, I gave a wave, some folks smiled back and understood what i was doing others weren't quite sure what to make of it. The vibe is old-school texas dining. It was mofos in there with actual spurs on their boots. Clean, no-frills, and straightforward. Concrete floors, a mix of mismatched chairs in earth tones with the occasional pop of red. You seat yourself, and service is quick. my server showed up almost immediately with a laminated 8.5x11 menu featuring a tight lineup of Americana comfort food. I went with the chicken fried steak, with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes on the side. The Brussels sprouts were split and grilled, simply done with a bit of butter and salt--nothing fancy, but solid. The mashed potatoes? A perfect base for the white gravy, which was the standout on the plate. The chicken fried steak itself had well-seasoned breading, but I wish the meat had been more tender. That said, the gravy was so good it honestly deserves to be bottled and sold at H-E-B. Because when you have already committed to overeating why stop, i tried the peach cobbler dessert. I should have stopped, this was terrible, it looked like someone dumped a can of peaches in syrup over raw dough...it tasted just the same. Such a let down with everything else being at the very least good.
