Awesome spot we decided to try on the way back from Dallas to Houston and glad we did. Friendly service, food was great and quick and free ice cream for dessert! Steak sandwich was almost like a Philly and super tasty. The side of Au jus wasn't needed. The fried chicken sandwich was juicy and great with some ranch on it! Our onion rings and fries were crispy and well seasoned too. read more

LOVE going to Walkers, this eatery definitely has that old town charm. Brings back the old days and you get a free scoop of ice cream after your meal! Great Burgers, great Friday fish dinners and great for breakfast too! Lunch time is usually busy, they are located across from the courthouse and get employees, officers & jurors quite often! Open early and close by 2:00, Fridays they are open til 8:00PM. Definitely check them Out read more

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

The food here was great. We came for breakfast twice the biscuits are huge and delicious. The first time I ordered a biscuit with sausage, egg, and cheese. They give you 2 sausages that's how big the biscuits are. The second time I got biscuits and gravy. They give you 2 biscuits and 2 sausages. So delicious can't wait to comeback. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I got the Walker's Dip with gluten free buns. I thought I would never be able to have a Philly cheesecake again bc of my gluten sensitivity but this place made it possible. They don't call it a Philly cheesesteak but that's pretty much what but is. It was really good. The dip/juice didn't do much for me, but it was good without it anyway. The servicebis also pretty good. No one had a bad attitude or was rude/racist (we're Indian). I got the seasoned fries and they were really good too. read more

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. read more

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.

We came for breakfast during our roadtrip. This place is amazing! The door is 100years old! Food is delicious, it is carefully made and they pay attention to details. Pancakes and buscuits were buttery soft and tasty. Pancakes are also huge, and yet not heavy. Bacon is crispy, potatoes are diced very small achieving a perfect fry. We loved this place, it being old adds so much character. I did not expect this when I first arrived, very pleasantly surprised! read more

Sweet people. Great service. That 25 cent coffee is shockingly good! My husband loved the red eye burger! Will be back'

Great little stop on the Madisonville town square! Stopped in for lunch on way back to Houston and food was delicious! Reuben with house made chips and chicken sandwich with onion rings, both excellent. read more

It was a cute place. I'm not sure we'd go back. But the service was great. And the food was ok.

My mug is half-full of coffee. But, I can't help believing bad things, that we're all worshiping the golden calf and G-d's biting His tongue. The current state of the world frightens me. We know too much. We have too many casual encounters and too many tools for sleeping with strangers. That is why I take solace in that--even in utter loneliness--places like Walker's exist. Coffee. Fried food. And no reminders of bad things like ideologies. The steak is deep fried. My heart is also submerged in oil and fat and a general murky aching. I am utterly alone here, accompanied by coffee. Mr. King, the big city benefactor I've mentioned in other reviews, once told me that loneliness has nothing to do with company, but with feeling unrelated. He knows nothing of small town diners like this. He's big city alligator belts and cuff links. I wonder if he's even had a chicken fried anything. I should say, I am by no means seeking to make a small town diner like Walker's exotic. Quite the opposite. It's simple and normal. A worship group, a teenager pouring coffee. It's not perverted like Snooze or other big city diners where G-d is absent. I have my mug filled. My belly full. G-d's light flooding my shoulders. More promise of great things to come. read more

Left Bastrop on 21 early in morning looking for a place to eat breakfast. In Madisonville we came across Walker's Cafe. Fantastic breakfast, the meal was beyond reproach. Price was really great. That is not the greatest thing about it. It was their coffee, I have not had coffee that tasted that good since the 60's. As we make trips to see our kids and grandkids in Bastrop, we will be traveling highway 21 from this point on. The staff was super friendly and the sitting was akin to the old soda shops. It alone is worth the trip. read more

Great food with a cool environment. Home cooked meal with a unique place to visit full of history.

This is one of our "Go-To's" for Saturday lunch. They have a great hamburger (~6 oz. patty) and my wife raves about their BLT on a jalapeño roll. It's in the old drug store on the square so it's an interesting locale. The lunches also come with a free scoop of Blue-Bell! read more

A great country town cafe. I you are from a small town this will feel and taste like home. Good simple food. Very good, pleasant staff!

It was an incredible option for my family driving from Houston to Chicago. You made us want to stay for lunch and dinner. Great job guys. You rock. Everything was delicious, and far better than just amazing. Service was very good also. And the deco, music and ambiance just great! read more

This place is amazing. Love their specials, taco salad is awesome and those chicken and dumplings are just like mama made!

Disappointing. We walk in for lunch today and they took our drink order and gave us menus. Waitress came back to take order. I wanted a patty melt and onion rings. At that moment she decides to tell us there are no more hamburgers, no more fries, and no more onion rings. A sign on the door or letting us know when we walked in would have been nice. read more

We were headed from a houston to Dallas and needed a place to stop for breakfast! Our usual go to is Cracker Barrel when on family road trips, but decided to try something new. This place is a true hidden gem to travelers. The town was adorable and we are so happy we found this little cafe. The coffee was good, and the food was delicious. Not a ton to choose from on the menu, but everything is tasty. The Miga's was amazing. My husband got the chicken fried steak with eggs. Kids said the pancakes were the best thing ever. Definitely check this place out. read more

Yummy! Home cooking at its finest! Parking is a bit challenging, but we'll worth any trouble!

Great lunch spot. Awesome desserts and regional favorites like housemade pimento cheese sandwiches and grilled mac and cheese sandwiches and they've got 25 cent coffee. Super friendly staff, fresh baked breads and desserts, and a wonderful comfy southern vibe. Get the pimento cheese sandwich on the housemade jalapeño cheese bread. Best pimento cheese sandwich in Texas. read more
