Humble City Cafe

I enjoy supporting local businesses and looked forward to my lunch here at a nostalgic Humble restaurant. I was, unfortunately, less than impressed. I ordered the cheese sticks as an appetizer right after I sat down. 30 minutes later they arrived and a few minutes later so did my chicken pot pie. When I order an appetizer I want it well before the meal. The chicken pot pie I ordered was soupy and not at all creamy. The service was friendly and the bathrooms were clean though. I will typically say something to the manager but it wasn't bad enough to warrant that. Sadly, I won't be returning.

Nice atmosphere in cool historical building . Food pretty good and service too. Good for lunch

I wanted to like this place. The kitschy decor, the historic building, and the variety of the menu are all welcoming sights. However, this place didn't quite do it for me.I visited with another. The complimentary cornbread was dry. My dining partner's meatloaf was served still cold. I enjoyed my Buffalo chicken salad, and the blue cheese dressing was quite nice with chucks of blue cheese. The hush puppies were a total ripoff. It costs almost three dollars for a side of them, and when it came out, there was four small pieces of what looked and tasted like frozen hush puppies from a bag. Service was a tad slow but understandable as there was only a single server manning the dining room. He was very nice though.

Country decor which gives a down home / home cooked meal vibe. Food was disappointing. Hashbrown looked like it came from fast food. Sausage link ok, but not breakfast sausage. Cheese on eggs was a cheese slice. Biscuits & gravy lacked seasoning & flavor. Server was blah and seemed tired. The coffee & water were good though. Can't find a reason to some back.

Outside looks scary hopefully it's deceptive downtown needs a huge makeover looks unsafe... Regardless of the need for gentrification, this café is so kitschy... it has a collection of funky items all over the place and a gift shop. It is a unique spot! I have to say the Philly cheese steak was out of this world delicious - I actually ate the whole thing.

Presentation and effort are an A, from the nice crispy top of the salmon, right down to the cute cast iron skillet corn bread. When it comes to taste, the natural flavors are there, but our food needed a little seasoning. The maple marinade was just too light, and the fish, zucchini, and tomatoes just needed a little extra something. Other than that, the decor was interesting and the service was good.

The food was hands down the best breakfast we've had in TX. Our server Damien was very attentive and professional but friendly. The restaurant has the look of an old Saloon and the sheer number of antiques on the walls will keep you busy long after your food has come. We really liked it here and when we pass this way again we'll be stopping!

The girls standing near the entrance were immediately giving dirty looks, the I had was also rude, never came to our table. The whole vibe in this place felt so judgmental and honestly the food wasn't that great either. I would not come back here.

I've lived here forever and somehow missed this stellar location. I just keep smacking my head thinking of the friends and family I could have taken here. Just have to do it going forward. This is good country eating at its best. The food is outstanding, the choices vast and the serving's plentiful and hearty. The chicken fried steak is available in two sizes a half and a full, don't be fooled, that half will occupy most of your plate but get the full so you can take some home. I had cabbage and sweet potatoes as sides, both made me eat my veggies first. Same could be said of the steaming hot fried okra, solid southern cuisine. I would be remiss not to mention the cornbread served as an appetizer. Hot, it is served in an iron skillet with two types of butter, this is a thing of beauty! Head on over.

Me and my wife came here chicken fried steak was no good to thin must have beat it with a sender block come on people cant make chicken fried steak. i want come back.
