Bailey's Cafe

This place is a must go if you are near Ennis! The food was fantastic. We had the migas and French toast. Both were absolutely delicious.In addition to the food, the service was great.We will be back on our next trip through the area.

We were on our way to Galveston and getting ready to stop at the Ennis Buc-ees when we decided we wanted some lunch. A quick look at Yelp and Bailey's popped up as close by and a good rating. Plus, it wasn't some chain joint. So, we headed on over...Bailey's is the kind of place you find in a small, out of the way town. It's probably been there quite a while, which tells me that more than likely, the food will be good. And it was. It's definitely a rustic spot. Small and cozy...you aren't going here for the decor. Think 1970s small Texas diner. But the food...delish. From patty melt, burgers, club sandwich, to an enchilada plate, everyone in our party was impressed. And, the service was excellent. It appeared that it was only the server and the cook in the back who were making it all happen. Everything was handled quickly and efficiently. For a quick bite to eat in the Ennis area, consider giving Bailey's a try.

True mom and pop stop. Simple but good. Courteous and attentive staff. It appears to be newly updated.

I got the BLT with fries. It was very good with quick service. My friend enjoyed her patty melt as well

The pecan fried chicken was delicious! Our dinner was so good that we drove back in the morning for breakfast after an overnight stay in Waxahachie. I ordered the migas and that was a great meal also. I'll have to make special trips from Fort Worth just to eat here! The wait staff was wonderful as well. If you love home cooking and finding great little cafes, this place is for you.

It's all relative! Relative to the people. Relative to the location. Wanted to be impressed because the service was spot on and ambiance was so friendly but the food quality was just meh. I had the AYCE fried fish with corn, mashed potatoes, and sautéed veggies. Hubby had their go to burger that everyone raves about.I asked for the fish to be extra crispy and it definitely was. Had a great clean flavor and I used lots and lots of lemons on mine because that's just the way I roll. The corn and the mashed potatoes were not even warm and it tasted like out of the can or package. I think the potatoes were probably fresh, but maybe fresh two days ago. The veggies were up there with the fish! Definitely the two highlights to my meal. They had a great flavor and seasoning with lots of butter.As you can tell by the pictures, hubby's burger did not have a good bread to meat ratio. The bread was very thick and dense. My professional baking daughter said that they either let it rise too long or not long enough. The burger was well over cooked , but was a fresh made patty that just needed salt and pepper.It was on our way home, so we didn't have to go out of the way, but definitely won't return.

Four of us went for breakfast on a Sunday. Arrived about 9am and it wasn't very busy. Staff was friendly, the place is small and clean. Wife and I ordered the same thing, pancakes, eggs, bacon crisp. Food came out fast. Pancakes came out cold. Eggs and bacon were both tepid. Collective conclusion in the parking lot was "meh".

I came into town to visit with my son and daughter in law and I searched for dog friendly restaurants. The only one in Ennis was this Cafe. I am very familiar with the area but have never heard of Bailey's Cafe. We sat on the patio and were quickly greeted by the waitress. We ordered a few appetizers, and found out they were HAND BATTERING them in the kitchen as they are ordered! At this point I was sold! All the food was fantastic!! So fantastic that we decided to bring more family the next morning to eat breakfast!

Service has always been fantastic. The interior is cute. It has a family feel. The food is well worth the trip from Red Oak.

Service was good. Breakfast was most good but my eggs were slightly overcooked. I'd come back.
