Went to this restaurant today for breakfast and was pleased with the quantity, quality, and taste of the food. Service was fast and our server was very pleasant. The restaurant was quite a bit bigger than it appears from the outside. Roomy with plenty of tables and booths. There is a small deck with tables overlooking the highway. It would seem to be too close to the road to enjoy a meal there, but if you had a pet with you or you were a smoker it may work for you. We would definitely come back again The next time we are in town. read more

We were in town for the weekend and decided to eat breakfast here. Food was good and service was friendly!

Went to this location on Super Bowl Sunday night. No was there I was surprised that service wasn't faster but we got our food in timely fashion. They do have some of the biggest biscuits I've ever seen. It was 4 large biscuits made into one. We had the omelets and took the queso dip with us to eat later. It was outstanding. read more

Food was so the chicken tenders and club sandwich we got were very fresh and tasty. The appetizers we order (Fried picked and a half order of the fajita nachos) were great! Portions were very large and very filling our server was Daniel and he was super helpful and patient didn't have to wait around a look for him he was super attentive and made sure our cups were constantly filled and made sure food was to our liking truly appreciate him for being so helpful! read more

Really good burger. The bun tasted like it was brioche and tasted like it was homemade. Fast, friendly service too. I picked up my food so I cannot comment on the ambience. Would definitely go there again. read more

This place is great fresh breakfast food! Throughly enjoyed it. The biscuits are huge and tasty you could probably split one with a friend. My daughter ordered 2 tacos expecting a normal size breakfast taco size 1 was more than enough. read more

Ordered chilliquiles and the chips were very crisp. They clearly were not cooked long enough. This being said, maybe it would have been better to have ordered non Tex-Mex food. They did have plenty other items to choose from. read more

I dont live in Glen Rose, but was raised here. Ate here many times with my Dad who ate here all the time. When we travel through we stop for sinner and always have a tremendous experience. read more

They make the best Birria tacos ever!! The catfish was delicious too! Actually everything we ordered was fantastic! The service was fantastic. Dessert was delicious! We came from Redding California to Glen Rose Texas to watch the Eclipse. We fell in love with Texas hospitality. read more

Randomly stopped here on our way to Fossil Rim. Great service and the food was great too! We got pancakes, the biscuit & gravy and the breakfast taco! We will definitely stop here again! read more

Well we have been sitting here for 30 minutes waiting for our food... that seems a bit much, it's not that busy. It just showed up, there are 6 of us. Eating and it's delicious!! Totally worth the wait. I especially love that they give you the option to have avocado as your side. Their grilled veggies are scrumptious I will definitely be back again!! read more

Big Cup Eatery - American Near Me - Glen Rose, Texas

Bad service. Unfriendly staff. Food is just okay. Bar side is okay, drinks and bartenders good.

After fossil rim and dinosaur valley state park we were hungry. Big Cup Eatery is amazing!! We sat in the bar area, decor was incredible. Keg barstools, cooped lined bar, and comfortable booths. The service was so nice, checked on us, kept our drinks filled and kept the salsa and chips flowing! I had the club sandwich, my husband had chilaquiles, and kids had breakfast platter with egg, sausage patties, and pancakes and pastor tacos. The highlight for me was the biscuits and gravy!!! Clean bathroom! Highly recommend this place! read more

Passing through Glen Rose, Sunday March 20, 2022, going from Fort Worth to San Antonio and decided to have an early dinner. Family of 4. 2 adults, 2 kids. We stopped at Big Cup Eatery and unfortunately, regret it. I'm the type of yelper that tries to leave great reviews and always give credit where it is due. That being said, I would give this place 1 star but am giving it 2 because I liked our waitress but didn't catch her name. The good: our waitress was really friendly and made the place feel at home. She was outgoing and funny. She was completely on top of making sure we stayed filled up on chips and salsa. I felt she's a great example of a family friendly restaurant and absolutely deserved praise as I can tell she works hard! The bad: first off, getting seated wasn't a problem like most reviews mentioned. But we waited there for a lot longer than I expected to get our food. Like I said, we were on a trip and the wait put us out of way more than I liked. Not an issue if you have a great experience and great food tho. The food was decent tasting. Nothing special. The beans were bland and everything was honestly, just ok. The ugly: you guys, my poor kids got food poisoning so bad after eating here. After leaving, I knew I wasn't feeling my best but I kept it quiet so that my kids didn't start making up symptoms, haha. But let me tell you, I have a 7 year old that Is no stranger to throwing up and even he was saying he thinks he needed a nurse from how much pain he was in. I felt so bad for them both as it was a terrible and unfortunate experience. Thankfully, after a long evening and night of tears and vomiting, they are both feeling much better. I'm glad I didn't end up ordering any of the seafood (shrimp tacos) there like I originally thought to. I usually would try a place again way before leaving a negative review but I do feel this issue is one that that will not have us returning when we come back up. read more

We've eaten here a few times while visiting Glen Rose. Each time the service has been on par. The food is solid, the menu is extensive, the place is clean and our party has always enjoyed the food. They have huge biscuits, homemade tortillas, great coffee and, all around, really worth popping in for what it is. Hometown sort of food. Jessie, our waitress, never missed a best. She had one whole side of the restaurant and handled it with ease. Kudos to her self discipline and skill to handle it all and with a mask on the whole time. Def stop in when you're passing through! read more

We go here every year after we have our reunion to have breakfast and say our goodbyes. Our reservations were for 10am. There were some other groups that came in that were alittle smaller so we realize that there will be alittle wait. Ordered our food, receipt says 10:36am. Two of us finally got our food about 11:50. Everyone else was done eating and actually waiting for us to finish up. They were serving our same dishes to others in the restaurant while we ordered ours almost 1.5 hours earlier. Food wasn't anything to brag about except for the biscuits. Went to check out and the server didn't give us an individual bill. Went to counter, paying was a nightmare, drinks were missed when checking out and they couldn't get the machine to work.. another 15 minutes and expect a free or at least a big discount for waiting for so long for our food. A 20% discount for waiting 1.5 hours for our food is totally unacceptable. If you provide bad service and/or wait time then you should admit it and make it right! There was no making anything right. Very disappointed and this was only what happened to us. The wrong food was brought out a few times. Need more organization in the kitchen, with waitstaff being able to organize a ticket and make things right when things go wrong. read more

Incredible biscuits and gravy!! Got a coffee, and a quesadilla, the wife got a soup and sandwich combo. The service was excellent and would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good lunch! They had clean restrooms and easy parking. read more

Upon our stay at anderson cabins we seen this listed for delviery and went with it well should of ordered a pizza I asked for crispy catfish specifically crispy They failed it was not at all crispy Fries were very undercooked coleslaw a odd bitter but sweet taste Coleslaw was fair Wife's chicken fried steak was fair to say the most Kids meal was only meal that was decent outta 3 meals They need to hire a better cook my opinion read more

Last minute decision to go here after a couple of days in Glen Rose. Walking in it was a typical busy lunch time. After being seated we were met by a not too cheerful waitress. She had a snarky vibe. Didn't pay too much attention (actually no attention) to our table. I had to go to the counter to pay. So the subpar service is the reason one star is subtracted. The food was delicious and given in generous proportions. We had to have to-go boxes to take home the left overs. I requested them when paying at the counter since our waitress was no where to be seen. Summary: Friendly food. Snarky service. read more

Right off the bat let's get one thing straight. Their "Biggest biscuits in Texas" claim is bogus. They're big, but far from being a biscuit. Think of them as a giant , dense, horrible dinner roll. The device was lacking and what should have been a rather quick meal to prepare took an hour. Then was served cold. The coffee is a joke and I'm wondering why there are ANY good reviews on here! This place had a restaurant over in Granbury that failed and everyone said to try the one in Glen Rose, it's better. Wrong!! Stay away from this sub-par, poorly run microwave joint. read more

Very good breakfast. Nice atmosphere. Heather did a great job keeping my "Big Cup" of coffee filled. The kids enjoyed the breakfast. My wife enjoyed her skillet breakfast. Update: Breakfast taco was excellent. Three pancakes were good. Coffee was good but disappointed that their "Big Cup" of coffee got smaller since my last visit. Still an excellent visit. read more

Lovely, sweet staff. Delicious, well priced food. If you're in town for Fossil Rim, eat here before you leave town!

Amazing food! We stopped here after our hike at Dinosaur Valley state park! Our girls loved the Mickey Mouse pancakes! I got a full order of their fajitas, highly recommend because all of their ingredients were fresh and the tortillas were handmade! The staff were all incredibly friendly. It's located next to a motel and the layout is a little weird, lots of doors and walls LOL but don't be fooled by the location. The food is absolutely delicious and budget friendly as well as kid friendly. We will be coming here the next time we go to Dino valley! read more

What a gem this place is. Its not fancy by any means but was delicious. It's a huge menu and something for everyone. I had chicken fried steak which was awesome. We had a very large group and they were able to accommodate all of us and all our orders. They did get a bit mixed up when it was time to pay the bill and couldn't figure out which was which. read more

Ok so this would have been 5 star but our order was all messed up. The food taste great but mom and dad ordered chicken fried steak but received chicken fried chicken. Husband ordered quesadilla burger received combo fajitas. However the food was good it took about an hour for our food to come out. So don't know if it was an off day or what but give it a try at your own risk :). read more

They have a good menu, and they make the items well. The chicken I had was fantastic. My picky eater had the bean and cheese burrito, and she finished it and the beans pretty quickly. read more

Took forever to get our food. Once we got the food it wasn't even hot or fresh. The waitress literally took her sweet time to tend to us. None of us got a refill. Definitely not ever coming back to waste my time and money here. The food wasn't even all that. Rather go get fast food or gas station food then this place again. read more

We love Big Cup so much we even had our wedding reception in the back room! Breakfast, BLTs and tacos al pastor are favs

We chose Big Cup because it was close to where we were staying. One of my grandsons is a picky eater so we hoped this was a good choice. It was perfect. We all got different dishes and they were all great. Our server didn't write anything down so I was worried about mix ups but Daniel G got everything perfect. And the ice cold beer was wonderful. And my grandson even told his mom how good it was. Thanks for a great meal. read more

We tried this place after traveling a few hours and we were hungry. Unfortunately the waitress was not attentive at all, and the food took over an hour to arrive (we ordered a simple breakfast meal). The entire experience was our group hunting down our waitress for every single thing (refills, even our bill). The food wasn't even that good. read more

Been here over an hour. People seated after us go their food. I'll will not be back. I'm very Patient but this is ridiculous. I know they are short staffed but this is awful. I've eaten here a few years back, but will not be returning. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER. read more

In my humble opinion, you can always judge a roadside eatery by the way they make a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. Inferior joints throw them together with what seems like leftover scraps, light on bacon, and meager when it comes to toppings. Not so at the Big Cup Eatery! The BLT here was what I can only describe as "super deluxe." Stacked with more bacon than anyone could ever want, this sandwich was ample in proportion and big on taste. Plenty of fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and fixed just the way I like it: on white toast with plenty of mayo. I loved the fries, too. Instead of the usual run-of-the-mill frozen potato sticks, Big Cup uses a special cutter to cross cut neat little lattices that are fried to perfection. No grease, hand made ... and lots of flavor. Would I stop at the Big Cup again? That's a no brainer, especially when I'm in the mood for my favorite comfort food, the venerable BLT sandwich. If my theory about this old standard holds true, the rest of the menu should be equally as good ... read more

Big Cup Eatery - The Big Cup - American Near Me - Glen Rose, Texas

They have a variety of food. I tried the enchiladas and it was just shredded cheese wrapped in a tortilla with chili on top, not very tasty. My husband said the street tacos were good. I ordered queso and never got it. My kiddos got a burger and a pancake and wasn't terrible. Service was ok. read more

Great service coffee and food we will definitely go back. I have some dietary issues and they were able to customize my food

A little pricy for the food you're getting. Service is always great but we only go there if we're tired of eating at the other restaurants in town read more

Friendly and helpful people. Good comfort food. They have a wide variety of dishes on their menu. Their Mexican dishes highlight the menu but they serve a lot of chicken fried steak too. My family likes their burgers as well. read more
