Light flakey biscuits and tasty gravy. Even crowded on a Saturday morning service by the waitstaff was quick, efficient, and friendly. We will be back when in the area. read more

My friend & I arrived around 9:30 Sunday morning. It was busy, but luckily we did not have to wait. The restaurant is spacious, and seat yourself style. My only complaint is that it has a singleton bathroom. Anyway. Our server Katie was great! I am a burger girl through & through, so when I saw the breakfast burger on the menu, I knew it was for me. And it did not disappoint. If you're driving through Gainesville, go to Cornerstone! It's just off the highway. read more

Cornerstone Cafe - Biscuit deliciousness - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gainesville, Texas

We stopped in after going to the Cody Jinks concert the night before. My wife ordered the two egg plate and loved it, I had the three egg plate and it was great as well. Our friends ordered omelets and all loved them with the exception of the cheese burger omelet which my buddy said could use more flavoring. Over all, food was great as well as the service. The biscuits tasted homemade and the gravy was awesome. Go hungry because it's a lot of food! read more

Very cute restaurant with quick service. We enjoyed our breakfast here. You sit anywhere you want when you walk in and there was plenty of space to spread out for larger groups. We took a couple of fried pies to go (apricot and apple) and they were delicious! read more

Yummiest chicken fried steak! So so fresh and tasty! If I grew up eating this and if my parents made this for me this is what I imagine good home cooking to taste like. Other dishes are pretty good too but mostly the chicken fried steak is my favorite read more

Wonderful hometown diner vibe. Service was super friendly and quick. Had a BLT that was STUFFED with crisp, thick cut bacon. Oh, and do NOT leave without getting a fried pie - good luck choosing! read more

It was a great breakfast; they were packed but it was a speedy service. It is a sit yourself when you walk in. It was so packed with the line we were not able to see that when we walked in. read more

Cornerstone Cafe in Gainseville, Tx a REAL TREAT. Sort of an upscale diner and at the same time, a hometown cafe. Beautiful chandelier for a classy look. Eggs, perfectly cooked. Hash browns, crispy on the outside, and yummy on the inside. Real cream gravy and biscuits. The servers all responsive and fun. We travel a lot and breakfast is a highlight, so we are giving Cornerstone a 10 !! The owners obviously take a lot of pride in this jewel. read more

Passing through we stopped for breakfast. Cozy restaurant in downtown Gainesville. Great ambiance. Service great. Lots of local patrons. Food was good. The breakfast special came with 2 eggs, 3 thick strips of bacon and 2 pancakes. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The omelettes were cooked to perfection, lots of ingredients. They came with hash browns and toast or biscuit and gravy. Sorry guys no pictures. We were so hungry, we dove straight into our meals. Would recommend this place. read more

This was a solid lunch stop. Friendly service and our food came out quickly. Cute little space on the town square. The bill was a little higher than we were expecting for 2 people...but the portions were decent, the food was tasty and they made sure to warm up the coffee a few times. Also, they NAILED IT on the "extra crispy" for my hash brown order. Most places don't cook them enough, but this time was perfect! PS- Don't forget to pick up a fried hand pie on the way out! We didn't get to enjoy our strawberries & cream pie until later in the day, but it was the STAR of the spot! read more

Cornerstone Cafe - Veggie scramble with hash browns (extra crispy! ) and Texas toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gainesville, Texas

Chose to go "off res" on our way home from Winstar. Cute, CUTE bake shop with kick-butt plates. I had a Scrambler with toast and home fries. Full disclosure, I usually prefer hash browns, but our sweet server recommended the home fries and she was SO RIGHT! They were sliced, not chunked, so all that good pan frying got more surface area and I loved them! Hubby got the Ham Steak & Egg plate with grits and a short stack (one pancake). Grits and pancake were pretty standard, but Oh My Sweet Mother, the HAM STEAK!! Took up a whole plate of its own and about 1/2" thick! He brought half of it home and ate it the next day. Side of biscuits and gravy was also a surprise with not one, but two tall, fluffy biscuits and about a cup of creamy pepper gravy. I wish we had asked for sausage gravy -- I feel like we missed an opportunity there! Got a couple of homemade hand pies to-go for the day's drive home. Even if you're not driving home from Winstar, make a point to stop in to Cornerstone whenever you're within 20 miles. Your tummy will thank you! read more

Pancakes are fantastic! Just want to rave about the pancakes! My eggs and bacon were delicious! My wife had an omelette that she enjoyed- the cheeseburger omelette, the sourdough toast was great! Service was top notch! Will definitely recommend and return again! read more

Everything is good! We especially like the biscuits and gravy, omelettes, hash browns, and breakfast burritos. Be prepared to wait for a table and/or your food on the weekends: order a fried pie if you just can't wait. read more

We have gone to Cornerstone on many occasions and it was wonderful. We went last Monday and it was horrible. My omelet was cold, wouldn't even melt the cheese and the roasted potatoes I pad an up charge for were so hard you couldn't even eat them. Whoever was cooking that morning needs to go back to school. read more

The service and food were excellent. There was a bee inside that the waitress asked us to catch he was released outside to continue pollinating. Real oats is a big deal for an oatmeal person. It makes all the difference. Be wary of the bottle of honey on the table. It is syrup but it worked well for my oatmeal! Will return. read more

If you are looking for a hearty breakfast, you need to stop by here. Had the western omelet with grits. Would have been filling with that but then they add two huge homemade biscuits and gravy. A meal in itself and a must try! Hands down best biscuit - light and fluffy and so delicious. Someone in our group got the special with French toast and it was thick and very tasty. You'll unlikely have room for dessert so you'll have to take some fried pies home for later. Hands down the lemon is awesome but the sopapilla cheesecake is yummy too. As a matter of fact, can't go wrong with any of them - and if you are getting a dozen, you get one free - so you can try them all! read more

Food is always well prepared, fresh, hot & very appetizing! My rave is for the GREAT Customer Service. It starts with the owner and continues with all of the employee's. A community restaurant where whomever comes thru the door, is treated like they are a part of the family! The staff uses the adage, Treat all of those like you want to be treated. There are businesses that can take a lesson from fine folks! These folks believe in their product and have FAITH in their ongoing success!!! read more

Best Breakfast in Gainesville. Owner keeps the equipment up and running like it should. That definitely helps, along with the great staff

Home town charm and good food. Little gem in downtown Gainesville with great views of the historic courthouse. Our server Jean was amazing. She got every detail exactly right and made us feel welcome. Breakfast or lunch you will have a great meal and a good time! read more

First stop in Texas as we leave Oklahoma! Delicious pancakes, ham steak, biscuits and gravy, and eggs for breakfast -- with plenty of hot coffee for the road! read more

Great small Cafe with friendly staff...food was good and prices were great...except maybe the ribeye which was about $22. We didn't order it so can't say if it would have been worth it or not. Seemed a bit hight for breakfast, especially compared to other menu items. The entrance is not very handicap friendly. The small "ramp" has a big bump which requires the person in an electric wheelchair to get off and have someone else get it over the bump. It was a great place in a small downtown area. One hint to the folks that work there...if you see a group having difficulties getting in, at least offer to help or open the door. Other than that, everything else was nice. read more

My family and I stopped here for breakfast on a road trip. It was very good! The pancakes are the best I've ever had & the service was great! The ladies in here are very sweet. Overall it was a great experience 10/10 recommend read more

We were on the Square around the Courthouse in Gainesville, Texas and I was taking pictures. We drove around the Courthouse and noticed this little corner cafe that was open on a Sunday morning and there were cats parked everywhere around it! That is always a sign for us that there is good food there or it wouldn't be so packed!!! I found a place to park and we went in, and sure enough it was crowded, but we found an open table and sat down. Everything looked good around us. The waitress was very busy but got us menu's and took out drink order very promptly! We had tea and our 6 year old got a coke. I ordered their chicken fried steak with 2 eggs and hash browns with biscuits and a side of cream gravy. My wife ordered the Texas Omelette that came with eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos! Our 6 year old got pancakes and bacon. It was all really very good! The waitress we had and the others were really on their game and all very outgoing and friendly! Really Great atmosphere read more

This place is a good no nonsense cafe. Food is good. People are nice. We really enjoyed it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because we realized, after the fact, that the price we paid was not the price listed on our menu. Not good business! Fried pies were great but priced high. Wish they had a special if you bough 6 or 12 or something similar read more

We really like the remodeled interior, much better seatin in side room Croissant SandwichFrench Toast read more

Very good breakfast choices. I had my first lunch special last Friday and it was some of the best roast beef I've had in years. Delicious!
