Real Texas Cafe

I had the meatloaf,mashed potatoes & pinto beans . Delicious every bite. Onion Rings here are the real deal . Big thick slices of onion and seasoned batter . Service was prompt . Tea was refilled quickly. Place was clean . Feels like a real cafe pardon the pun . Plenty of comfortable seating

Had a good breakfast.Easy parking. Very convenient place to eat close to local hospital. Lots of seating options and looked like two side rooms for larger gatherings. Dessert counter with single slices of pies & cake. Typical breakfast & lunch diner menu with daily specials. A little over priced compared to other local places with same fare in my opinion. Very quiet with multiple tables enjoying meals. Immediately greeted, seated & drink order taken. Friendly service with 2 ladies working the room & register (mid morning during the week). Received our meals quickly. I was looking for a cheaper item and ended up with the EGG & CHEESE MELT ($11.25) with sliced potatoes. (You choose bacon or sausage for the sandwich then hashbrowns or sliced potatoes as the side). Two buttery slices of Texas toast with egg, cheese, & bacon. Truly hard to go wrong here unless you're watching calories and cholesterol intake. The potatoes were okay but nothing special. My Mom got THE TRADITIONAL ($13.75) - Two eggs, bacon (believe there was 3-4 slices), sliced potatoes, served with multigrain toast. We both enjoyed our meals. They were good basic breakfasts. Just a little more expensive than I'm used to in the area. But owning a small business is expensive and I imagine costs associated with maintaining an older building aren't cheap either. They have done a good job!

Ate breakfast there this morning with my best friend. It was our first time patronizing. It's a quiet place, it was clean and it smelled good. It reminds me of Dixie House in FW. That's a good thing!!! I love DH's food and Real Texas Cafe's food was awesome, as well as, the coffee. I'm a fan of eating really good simple things, and this case, it was pancakes and bacon with coffee to drink. Real Texas Cafe's pancakes were crunchy around the edges, the perfect thickness, the butter was whipped and the bacon was good and crunchy. I was full and ready to start and finish out my day!!! I saw those pies but held back this time!!! Our server was great and professional and everyone that worked there was so nice to us. It's a "good place, good food" feeling cafe and I'm sure that I'll go back in the future when I'm on that side of town.

We happened to be in the area and enjoy the small, "hole in the wall" type of places, so thought, why not? We were immediately greeted by a friendly young man right we went walked in and were taken to a booth. We didn't wait long at all for drinks or to have our order taken, but the wait for our food was a bit long. At first glance, we weren't excited about the food, especially the 2 by 4, but we soon learned everything actually tasted great! The entire service staff seemed to work together as a happy team. They ran food and refills to each others tables and were all attentive. We were truly impressed by that. On our way out we asked the young man who greeted us and he let us know his mom owns the Cafe and it really gave us a family owned feeling, full of people who care about the customers. Definitely a spot worth checking out.

What a great hidden gem in the MidCities area. My dining out Toastmasters club decided to gather at Real Texas Cafe for our monthly meeting. Our meeting organizer knocked it out of the park, she picked an incredible venue with good ole southern cooking that makes tummies very happy. There were over 20 of us in attendance and the staff took care of us with military precision. Real Texas Cafe has a great menu of family favorites that will satisfy even the most pickiest eater. If someone can't find something on the menu they like, then something's wrong. I love a good meatloaf. After reading the previous reviews, I knew right away that I needed to order 'Mama's Meatloaf" accompanied with mashed potatoes and fried okra. You can't get much better than that. My wife decided on the grilled chicken salad.After a short wait, our orders started arriving. The whole staff pitched in to get the plates delivered to the proper individuals without the hot entrees getting cold. No one was disappointed. The portions are ample. If you leave Real Texas Cafe hungry, it's your fault, not the restaurants. My meatloaf was delicious. The accompanying mashed potatoes and fried okra were seasoned perfectly. Every once in a while one has to splurge on unhealthy choices and I had no regrets. My wife's salad was all that she wished for, cool, crisp and packed full of all the veggies she loved. Again our servers were spectacular in their handling of our group. My wife and I decided to return again soon for breakfast. We can't wait.

Everything great and actually better than expected aside from our server who disappeared after randomly deciding to give a table her unsolicited political opinions lol. She's harmless but funny and not the most focused..no big deal. Breakfast potato's were AMAZING! Perfectly crispy on the outside and indulgently soft on the inside. Eggs were perfect and portions large. Coffee great. Highly recommend!

My husband and I came in for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. I was craving a chicken fried steak, and told him we needed to come here because I had seen the positive reviews others had posted about this dish. 10/10 would recommend this chicken fried steak. It was AMAZING and hit just the spot for the craving I had. Too many places now are doing chicken fried ribeyes, which is absolutely not what I wanted. I grew up in rural Texas, where we used cube steak and served large portions. This hit both those marks. I wanted a taste of home, and by golly this was it. The steak was even large enough for my husband and I to split!My husband got coffee and I got a coke. The coffee was not great. It was fresh, but tasted very much like Folgers. We prefer the Avoca, Lavazza, or Segafredo beans that other local brunch cafes are offering. We got mashed potatoes and fried okra for sides. The menu is correct, these are REAL, made from scratch, mashed potatoes, not instant potatoes. The okra was fried to perfection. The ambiance left a little to be desired. For a place called "Real Texas Cafe," I expected decor to be more similar to a country kitchen or to the Texan vomit all over Old West Cafe's walls. The black and white tile and grey walls made it feel like it was going for something between modern and art-deco style, which does not fit with the vibe of the food they are serving. The pictures and painted cow skulls on the walls definitely fit the theme, but the base colors of the building really need work. The service was wonderful. Our waitress sat us and made sure we were well-taken care of, even though we came in 50 minutes before closing and were clearly their last customers of the day. Overall, we will return here. Only things keeping this from being a 5-star review are the coffee and the decor. But the food is top-notch!

Great family style menu restaurant! Very friendly staff, clean with an up to date (Texas) decor/ atmosphere. Check out included menu pictures.The $12.99 price (for many items) could seem high until you see the large portions of fantastically prepared food. I love the Real Texas Omelette, it's a meat lovers plus! However, I'm never gotten anything which wasn't exceptional! They also have great homemade pie, too!This place is a must try!

This is definitely a mom and pop place with many regular customers. The waitresses are very friendly and attentive. They have daily specials. I had the two by four. Just a typical breakfast, the pancakes were delicious. They were nice and fluffy. I also had an order of biscuits and gravy. It could of been more flavorful and a little thicker gravy. It's an easy place to dine. I will be back to try their pot roast.

I wouldn't recommend Real Texas Cafe. With so many dining options in town, I'd suggest looking elsewhereService was far from what you would want We ended up having to get up and ask for our check because we waited for so long that we were done waiting ...
