We love this spot that has both excellent Tex-mex and some phenomenal southern food like chicken fried steak. It's rare to me that you can find both in a place that does both so well. Even the iced tea is delish! We have tried the chicken fried which is SPOT on. Super thick, well battered, cooked perfectly with some delish gravy. Comes with green beans and mashed potatoes also smothered in gravy. I had a shredded chicken quesadilla that came with beans and rice. Love the free chips and salsa. The same waitress has waited on us both times we have came and she is so sweet, great at recommendations and takes excellent care of us. We plan to come back often and try all the options of this eclectic menu. read more

Driving up, it doesn't look like much and could easily make you turn around. However, give them a shot! There's a large variety of food and something for everyone. Service is always good and they're quick to give salsa, chip, and drink refills! Food is always fresh! read more

Unexpectedly great! Service was phenomenal. Food was good. Would go back! We ordered cheese enchiladas, Texas twinkies, and kids chicken quesadillas. read more

Stopped into this cute little place today during a road trip. Susie was our waitress and gave us recommendations from the menu. I opted for Chicken Fried Chicken and my husband ordered Carmen's Plate: 2 enchiladas, 2 crispy tacos with rice & beans. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed some fresh, yummy chips & salsa. I mean REALLY good salsa! My husband practically drank the stuff. Our food was delivered quickly and was piping hot. My husband enjoyed his, and mine was also delicious. The breading on the CFC was unlike I've ever had: really airy and crunchy. Yummy! And they didn't skimp on the cream gravy. The cost was reasonable, too. We will definitely be back when in the area again. I bet their breakfast/brunch is to die for! read more

We just went in to the restaurant to order the super fajitas. They would not let us substitute a piece of sausage for 2 shrimp. What the heck....Ridiculous!!!!! We have been faithful customers for 3 years. Never going back. Take your business somewhere else where they are not so petty over substituting something. read more

Love the food, love the service, great place to eat. One of my favorites! Prices are great too. read more

We really enjoyed our lunch today! Monica, our waitress, was so nice. We ordered the chicken sandwich off the As Seen on TV menu, the sauce on there was so delicious and the daily special - two enchiladas with rice and beans. I got the queso over beef enchiladas. Everything was perfect and delicious. My husband loved the fries with his chicken sandwich, they were nice and crispy. We also ordered some breakfast burritos for tomorrow, they are a good size for $6 burritos! We will definitely be back. read more

Good food, friendly staff .. Chicken fried steak (almost as big as the plate), green beans, & mashed potatoes is a MUST to try ! Honestly that is all I ever order, it's so good. I'll always be a repeat customer and may try another dish next time. You won't be disappointed. Pamela Ratliff read more

We have lived in Joshua over 30 years and shamefully are just now trying this restaurant! We've missed out!!! Delicious meal today I tried vegetarian quesadillas with black beans and corn very good. My husband had the Carmen's enchilada taco plate...he's picky and he enjoyed it immensely was talking about his next visit before he finished! It was nice to have Wayne (owner) come around to see if we were enjoying the meal! I didn't catch the waitress name but she did a great job, kept our beverages full and brought more chips & hot sauce. Portions are large you won't leave hungry! read more

Saw this place on Restaurant Impossible and drove over an hour to try it. As of now, the name on the outside and on all social media still says "Fun Time Cafe" but the interior and the menus say "CW's." You walk in to a wall commemorating Robert Irvine's time with them. And the decor throughout looks bright, clean, and colorful. We ordered the Patty Melt Burrito and the Pork Ribs. Both tasted good and were cooked well, but the ribs were easily the star of the show! Wow! They fell off the bone and were bursting with flavor. Mixed with the pineapple slaw, it was even better. Also, the staff was SUPER kind and friendly. They'll make you like coming just in their demeanor. You can tell they take pride in their work. It was a fun, worthwhile trip with my daughter! Cool experience. read more

Visited here yesterday while picking up estate sale items. Wow! Food was outstanding and so was the service! We ordered the super fajitas that include beef, chicken, shrimp, and sausage. Lots of grilled onions and peppers. Everything was cooked perfectly. Meat was tender and very flavorful. Served with homemade flour tortillas. Delicious! Our host/ waitress/ server Cheryl was wonderful! Very attentive. So nice! Suggested a dessert so we took banana pudding to go. It was awesome! Now we are trying to find a good excuse to go back to Joshua so we can try something else on the menu! Go there and try this place soon!! read more

It is a nice experience. Many long tables to sit at. Sandwiches were tasty. Staff was attentive.

Food was good. I'd go back and try something different. Service was good, it was slow so I wouldn't have expected otherwise.

I love to eat fish, but I don't like fried fish. I have traveled all over the United States and let me assure you; This is some of the best fish I have ever eaten! There Friday night fish is all you could ask for and more. And it's fried....... Trust the guy that's traveled everywhere and eaten just about in every place and everything. You will not be disappointed! I'll see you there every Friday!!! read more

Food was amazing and service was awesome! We went for dinner one night and breakfast with the kiddos on Sunday! Everyone loved it!!!

We are from Breckenridge Tx. Driving to see family in burleson. Glad we stopped. Food was excellent. Great service also.

Solid 4 stars, food is tasty, Nachos are excellent, Chicken fried steak was really good, side salad was shredded iceberg lettuce with a excellent tomato and cheese topping ( made a poor salad a good one ) service was attentive and friendly. Iced tea was really good, the coke machine is in need of brixing ( adjusting the syrup to carbonated water ratio ). Since they are 100 percent locally owned I really like the place and will continue to support it. Dining area is amazingly clean. Byob if you like/need adult beverages. Back patio for the smokers. We spent just over 10 bucks a person and left stuffed, your results may vary. If you are in the area it is worth the stop to fill your belly, strategically placed near the Chisolm Trail Toll Road and FM 917. read more

After a change in ownership, it's now called CW's Authentic Tex Mex . It's cute on the inside as it was recently updated on an episode of Restaurant Impossible. It feels like going back in time when restaurants were a place where communities came together. The owner and chef even came out to visit the table. It is BYOB! People were greeting each other and visiting, which was nice to watch. You can tell most everyone here is a regular by they way they were greeted by the servers. It's a great place for families, especially those who feel todays prices make it hard for a family to eat out. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions generous. We tried many things, the Fajitas were our favorite with the Chile Reno being a close second. There is a private space in the screened in patio at the back where you can host private events. They allow the cost of your party's food to cover the private space, and require a week or so notice. The menu has several options and the prices are very reasonable, and the portions good size. When doing an event you can order off menu, (which can take longer), or set a menu like fajitas, taco bar, and other options. Overall, I would say this place is a family owned gem we as a community should support! read more

4 star for the food review only. We had cheese burgers, tots and onion rings. The food was very hot, fresh and very solid. Only knock was the tater tots were slightly over cooked but still tasty. Nice people. Best described as a hometown, small town, and some what of odd dive. But the food is what you would expect from a home cooking type place. I don't believe they are cheaper than the burger chains you might visit, but you get more value in volume of food. Solid burgers no complaints. But I must say the outside of the building is odd, the name "Fun Time Cafe" doesn't inspire. The inside of the place is actually pretty nice. So if your looking for some home style cooking I would recommend if in the area. I wouldn't drive from FW for it, but should be a local hit. read more

Definitely love stopping in and eating at Funtime Cafe. The good is excellent! I really enjoy the beef enchiladas but, the burger is also one of the best I've had. The staff is excellent, taking care of the customers. Definitely recommend this cafe! No matter what you choose to eat, you won't be disappointed. read more

The cheese enchilada tasted like they used heated up cheese-wiz. I wouldn't recommend them. I heard they stepped up their quality, at the trade-off of being more expensive. I couldn't imagine paying more. read more

Food was not good at all. Way too many items to choose from so nothing can be great. Ours was awful.

Went from 4 to 5 because of Pam! Super friendly server. Had breakfast. Good fresh food. Potatoes were so good, everything was cooked nicely. They were great about making my dietary substitutions (egg allergy). Cute decor. Hubby loved that they grilled the jalapeños. Overall wonderful. read more

We saw it on Restaurant Impossible, decided to take a day off and drove 70 miles to give it a try. Absolutely worth it. The food was nothing short of what you would expect if you walked into one of Robert Irvine's restaurants. His work with the owners and staff have paid off big time for them and everyone who eats there. I'm only sorry we're not closer. We would be regulars (and will probably drop by next time we're in or near Fort Worth.) read more

Excellent food. Doesn't matter what you get. The whole menu is awesome. I got a Mexican plate and my wife got the hamburger steak with mushroom gravy. Can't go wrong. Could eat here every night. read more
