The Daily Special Cafe

Quaint hometown hole in the wall. Come in grab a seat. We ordered a blt, chicken and waffles, and a kids mini corn dogs with mac and cheese. Everything simple nothing fancy here. And everyone cleaned their plates. Service was fast and friendly. Only thing I have to say is when you have a place like this all kitschy, it need to be dusted.

Came here with the family since my family members said this place was delicious. I gotta be honest this was only a mediocre experience. I got the jalapeno pork chop with Mac and cheese and fried okra. The pork chop and okra was good except the pork chop was mostly bone. The Mac and cheese was probably a 3-4/10 for me since it wasn't overly cheesy and the first few bites were not hot. The waitress was very nice and answered all of our questions. Overall I don't know if I would drive out of my way to come here again.

I'm honestly surprised I haven't left a review for this place yet.... It may be because I don't want too many people there when I go ;) The food is so tasty. Kids love the Chicken and Waffle. Pancakes are fluffy and delicious. I can't get enough of the Jalapeño infused Pork Chop. The sides are great. The CFS is huge and delicious. Great service and cozy little place to sit back and enjoy. We go here every meal when we are close by and have never been disappointed.

It was fine. Small town cafe that serves alot of pre-made frozen foods. Stuff they actually make in house was pretty good.Overall, won't return.

Food was so good !!! Sweet tea was great, service was amazing. I got the coconut shrimp and I thought it was great. I recommend trying this little cafe 10/10!

Chicken fried steak and service was great. Spinach was also great. Lots of deserts to choose from as well

Not bad if you're not picky. Being a resident of Alvarado you're held hostage to chain fast food restaurants. This is one of the only non chain establishments in town. Is it food worth going out of your way for? No, but it's better than chain Pizza or burgers. 3 stars for the friendly staff that makes you feel at home.

Popped in for dinner to this hidden gem! Meatloaf Monday night dinner special is so full of flavor. And by the looks of photos shared on Google we of course had to get the chicken fried steak. We shared the 4 veggie sides corn nuggets, fried squash, mashed potatoes & yesss the fried okra. They were out of rolls so toast was substituted & a very great substitute tasted more like an upgrade but now just has us intrigued to get a taste of the rolls!!! We'll definitely be returning for many other menu items... catfish for sure & will make sure to save room for dessert & already making plans to try out breakfast menu items is a must! Oooh & the sweet tea... my oh my... refreshing!!! Such great positive vibes felt from the moment we walked in & were in ultimate shock when we were told our bill had been paid. Such a blessing. Prayers & thanks to the kind hearted soul of a stranger that gifted us with an awesome meal tonight!

The cook Miss Maria!!! The service from the awesome waitresses!!! I luv the down home feel and the warm friendly faithful regulars that I interact with on a daily special (pun intended). Cook fresh to order and served up hot. In my pic below I didn't have room to show my eggs over medium on a bed of grits.

I always go to this restaurant when in town for business. The food is good and the service has always been friendly. But I have to draw the line here. While visiting last time, the waitress was helping another customer who had a cut on his finger. He was bleeding while sitting at a table. She cleaned his cut, and bandaged his wound. We watched her carefully, and she never went to wash her hands. She started filling glasses with ice and serving drinks to other customers. She never wiped or cleaned the table where the man was sitting either. Absolutely disgusting and a danger to public health. Blood born pathogens! We got up and left. Never again!
