Oak Creek Cafe

Cute little mom and pop joint. Definitely where the locals go. We've come in a few times and there are always locals who get their "usual".Located near Dripping Springs High-school on the west side of Dripping Springs off 290.Plenty of parking especially if you have a truck/suv.Very friendly attentive staff, typically little to no wait. Down home cooking eats.We've come here for breakfast and lunch. Our favs are the fried pickles. Some of the best we've tried yet here in Hill Country.Come support local

I haven't been here in years. I remember it being so much better than it was. The chicken fried steak is not worth $16.00. Fried okra, mashed potatoes, and cream gravy were really good. If the chicken fried steak wasn't so small and chewy I wouldn't hesitate to give 4 stars.

I came to this establishment in December of last year with my companion after a short staycation in Dripping Springs. We came here as we wanted to support local and to get something close to where we were staying. When we walked, we waited to be seated on what appeared to be an extremely busy Saturday morning. We ordered one menu item each. My companion ordered breakfast tacos, and I ordered migas. Migas: Migas are fairly simple to make. Migas are a simple Mexican egg dish that consists of strips of corn tortillas (NOT tortilla chips) pan fried till just barely crisp, and then flooded with whipped egg and bright spices and quickly cooked together. At least that's what I thought it was....what I got was eggs with cold cheese that came from a bag unmelted on top of the eggs. A side tortilla that was out of a bag, not warmed, canned refried beans, and undercooked cubed potatoes. It was inedible. I am not sure if this was a one-off, but my companion's taco was also made with a bagged tortilla and topped with the same cold bagged cheese that I received on my plate. The service we received when here was pleasant, but the food was as previously noted inedible. While I love supporting local businesses, this is one establishment that makes it difficult for me to do.

Tried the Friday catfish today with Cole slaw fries and puppies, all deliciousFinished with the chocolate pie just like my mom use to make it, delicious and so big I took half home for later.Coming Monday I will try their meatloaf lunch special and my waiter said better come early as they tend to sell out of it quick.

Wow! Our local Cafe is awesome! The friendly waitstaff was so attentive and helpful. I went for The Texan, 1/2 lb burger with l the fixens! The fries were hot and crispy, the burger cooked to perfection as requested. I'm glad I opted for no bun, I had room to finish everything on my plate. My husband enjoyed the catfish dinner. He compared it to the catfish we get in Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama. He said it passed with flying colors, definitely a win. We will be returning sooner than later.

Upon the recommendation of the front desk at our hotel we went to Oak Creek Cafe for breakfast on a Sunday morning. The reviews of the restaurant were overall very good and when we arrived the restaurant was packed and we had a slight waiting time before our table was ready, all indicators that we are going to have a very good breakfast. Sadly this was not the case. I ordered the "Country Skillet" with the "Texas Toast" while my cousin ordered the same thing with the biscuit. When I think of Texas Toast I think of a thick slice of bread but what came out was just regular toast. The breakfast itself was ok not to much flavor. The prices were very reasonable but I would not go back to Oak Creek again.

It was the perfect place to stop on our way to Fredericksburg from Austin. Delicious, quick service, friendly servers. I suggest getting the hand dipped onion rings.

Everything was perfect - will definitely go back many times! Quick and pleasant server experience.

If you like catfish...you will love this place. Lots of good food but that's our favorite. Good size dishes. Great service is fast and attentive. Nice down home place with lots of history in caricatures on walls and memorabilia. We tried the catfish and shrimp dinner this time to our delight. The seafood is rolled in cornmeal and deep fried (or grilled) to perfection. Good fresh taste. Their pies are yummy if you have room. Our go to catfish place in Dripping. Surprise! Prices are great too!

Food was significantly under seasoned, service was lacking in attentiveness, and I wasn't really looking for ambiance so that didn't bother me much. But no, we won't be going back.
