Great food for an exceptionally fair price. Excellent, attentive service. The type of old-school well run independent diner you don't see very often anymore. read more

Excellent food good service and family ambiance im a regular customer ,not even prices went up but is worth it

I love to find local places to eat when I travel. So went here for breakfast and I was not disappointed. I got the egg, sausage, and cheese on a croissant. It was stuffed full of eggs and sausage, as they don't skip on portion size. I look forward to trying more food here before I leave the area. read more

Garland Cafe - Breakfast sandwich with sausage - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Garland, Texas

This is your standard breakfast joint with the normal offerings and good service. Plenty of friendly locals start arriving early, but I've yet to have to wait for a table. It's clean enough and the service is friendly enough. It's a lot more spacious and quieter than the Buckingham Rd location, also a little greasier, so dab that sausage patty with a paper napkin, please. read more

0 stars! Second time coming in to give it another try and nothings changed, my sister and I waited patiently for an hour and a half after having our order taken. No staff apologized for the wait and all I saw/heard was orders being taken over the phone from one of the staff members, terrible experience over all. read more

My husband had been here before, it was a first visit for me. It was around 11:30ish am when we arrived and it was kinda packed. We waited about 10minutes before we were seated. Coffee is good and they always seem to bring out more so your cup never goes empty. I ordered the Mega breakfast which was $5.50 it's a lot of food for a low cost! Giving it a 5 because the service was excellent, wait was short, prices are great, and the servings were huge. Not a fancy diner but Would go again! read more

I ordered the traditional fare for breakfast. The whole order was done quite quickly considering the amount of people inside. I loved their eggs and bacon. read more

Nice place, clean, and friendly staff. We went for dinner a couple of times on a Saturday evening and wasn't crowded so fast service. The usual simple home cooked meals. We heard the catfish is their most popular dish but I had chicken, first the tenders and after the grilled chicken and Hubby had a hamburger, which he said was great! read more

This café is set up completely with 4 top tables. There are no booths, no counter seating or 2 tops. There isn't a hostess. Just walk in and sit down at a clean table. All of the tables have a large visible number on cards attached to them. The servers never bring a check to the table. You just walk up to the counter when you're finished and they look at you and then look at receipts hung on the wall for your table number. I have never seen anything like it. I selected the inexpensive $4.49 breakfast special where you select 3 items from a list. It includes a drink! For diners, such as myself who like hot sauce you don't have to request it, they have bottles sitting on all of the tables. I ordered my eggs over hard and they were prepared correctly. My toast was unbuttered and the server never checked back one single time so I didn't get an opportunity to request any. The food was okay. My server was so lame. She wasn't friendly, never smiled and never checked back. If you're in the area and want something quick and cheap stop by. I definitely wouldn't make a special trip. read more

In a restaurant I'm always asking myself "did I bet what I paid for?" This Garland academy every time we have been there you get more than what you paid for! The food is excellent as well as the service. May not look like much but grab a seat and enjoy. Small note if you are someone who can stand to be a little hot while eating then may be hard during the summer cause their AC can't keep up with the amount of people that come in! read more

I absolutely love the Garland Cafe! It's a quaint greasy spoon diner that serves breakfast all day, as well as lunch and dinner fare. The food is an unbelievable value and taste great! I typically order the pick three breakfast which consists of 3 items from a very hearty list of choices. I get my usual which is scrambled eggs, hash browns and pancakes, plus a drink- all this for $4.49 if you can believe it! The eggs are delicious- nice and fluffy. The hash browns are my absolute favorite out of any hash browns I've had anywhere. They cook them evenly until they are golden. Finally, the pancakes are good too, but what really elevates them is the fact that Garland Cafe uses real butter to complement the pancakes. This carries a lot of weight with me and is extremely important in factoring just how good I deem a breakfast joint. As far as service goes, this place is tip top! The waitstaff are all very friendly and sweet and even remember what I order. It's nice to come to a place like this where it's very welcoming and the food is delicious and a great value. 5 stars for Garland Cafe all the way!!! read more

Garland Cafe - Front facade of the Garland Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Garland, Texas

Any place that has breakfast all day is a friend of mine. Catfish basket is the real ness! The CFS was tasty- but questioning the prep method- great prices and awesome food. Must hire more or new servers!!!! The floor is too big for two girls and a clueless busboy. Empty tables, dirty tables and orders singing left and right. Plus the cash register is run by food runners with no time to wash in between. EEWWWW read more

Great little hole in the wall spot. Good food to eat in or carry out. Good service. Great prices! Nothing fancy but tastes good. We've eaten breakfast, lunch, and dinner there. Great breakfast! read more

I've visited Garland twice in the last three years and have eaten here three times. All I can say is order the catfish breakfast or dinner and ask for an extra piece. It's delicious... read more

Good food, even better service and pricing. They have lots of options for breakfast and lunch, whatever you're in the mood for!

This establishment is very affordable and has great food! I would love to have given it more stars but service is questionable. Every time we come it can be a mess. Some days more than others, but to some point it's disorganized. Other than that it's a great place to dine at! read more

Garland Cafe - Pumpkin pie pancakes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Garland, Texas

I love this place!! I would rather stand in line here any day over Ihop. The food is so delicious and the waiters are always very friendly. The food is very cheap and you get large portions. The coffee is always hot and they give you plenty of creamers. I feel like at this point I have pretty much tried everything on their menu and loved everything about it. On the weekends it is a little packed but during the week it is usually just the "regulars" I would recommend this place if you are looking to eat good and cheap. read more

Me and my friend came here for brunch last 08-23-18. Food was okay and affordable prices. FYI that's the only thing I ate during the day even at work. Around 12midnight I started going to the bathroom and I had a LBM. Not a long a wait I had to go again. To cut it short i've been going in and out to the bathroom today until now. I thought it was only me, but my friend message me that she's also experiencing what i am right now. It's just a disappointment, it's out first time but it wasn't a good experience. Maybe the one who prepared the food doesn't have a good sanitation. read more

I like this little cafe. The food is very good and the prices are right. Especially for the retired folks that eat there. I usually stop in for breakfast and I have noticed that over the last 6 months or so, the breakfast crowd has thinned out. The ownership should wake up and hire back their best server, Jasmyn! Every time I'm in there, someone is asking a server, "where's Jasmyn?" Come on! Get Jasmyn back! And no, I'm not a relative! read more

love the old fashion ambiance food is good.. service is slow would have given s 4 star if the coffee was better... hopefully they will improve these two the coffee and quicker check in at your tables... will try them again to see if they proved read more

This has become my favorite breakfast/lunch go to. The food is just so yummy. The portions are big enough. I love it. I've tried different things all the time and each item, I like it more than the last one. And the service is always great. They are always smiling and treat you really well even when they are slammed. read more

Garland Cafe - Strawberry French Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Garland, Texas

I was hoping this place would be a little better since it's close to home. The chicken fried steak was ok, but definitely prefab and very small. The green beans were frozen, rubbery, and had absolutely no flavor at all. Steer clean from those. The service was fast though. read more

This place is my families go to restaurant when we are looking to eat good at an affordable price. I brought a group of around 13 people for breakfast one morning and paid less than $100. I was so happy! I will always recommend this place and bring my friends to come try it out! read more

This was a wonderful surprise. Great service and one of the absolute BEST bacon cheeseburgers I have ever had. Always like to try local places when we travel and this place was a true find! The kind of place that makes a stop in Garland, TX worth it! read more

Garland Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Garland, Texas

Why???? Left one bad place for another. This place is a lot cleaner than The Gold Mine in Garland but when you get my order wrong and bring an empty plate out to scrape off the food you mistakenly gave me , there goes my appetite and patience. I ordered hush puppies , I speak clear English, it's my only language... how do you get hash browns from hush puppies? Then you have the nerve to come back and tell me the cook wants to know if I'm going to keep the hash browns. I guess they needed them back to serve the next person who actually ordered them. Don't get me started on the chicken fried steak . My high school CFS was 100% better. This place serves a deep fried and processed frozen patty. Needless to say, I did not eat my food... when we we went to pay our bill, the waitress said" we didn't charge you for the hash browns"... . My reply was, " I didn't order the hash browns".... seriously... Won't be back here either... But guess what was right across the street??? Good ole JIB... went there and got a couple of tacos... read more

You want a good breakfast reasonable price come here when traveling on a budget . I'm from Atlanta and discover this spot threw here and all I can say what you spend you get love it read more

I love this place, love the food and the price, only thing i wish they had TABASCO sauce, so if you like tabasco, TAKE YOUR OWN!

My other hidden gem of Garland. If not for the location and lack of an online presence I probably would have found this place sooner. Breakfast and diner food. Their counter gets a little backed up and no online ordering makes it more difficult to order food from there. read more

This is a Good Place To Eat !" The People Who Work There Are Nice and Polite. Its clean and the Drinks are good too!!"" I have had the Pork Chops and Vegetables good deal. Now if you are Driving away from the Walmart Store you may not be able to see the Front of the Restaurant. But turn across the street from Jack n the box and you will See the Front of The Garland Cafe it is well Priced not expensive at all. read more

Every time I eat here it's almost a spiritual experience. Like [expletive] this place is amazing!

Great breakfast.. I'll be back. Don't let the wait discourage you! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I came in the first time with my boyfriend, we were going to Denny's but decided it was too full and I was recommended by my friend to come here! I am so glad we did come! It was Father's Day so I was expecting a 20 minute wait but we just came in and told the girl at the counter it was a table for 2, she said We could sit wherever we wanted. We sat down and I ordered the chicken tender breakfast! The food was SOoo good and the waitress made sure we felt comfortable she explained how it works here and I loved my experience! Deff MY new breakfast stop(: read more

Great inexpensive place to eat. Staff is friendly and attentive. Environment feels homey. I mainly get breakfast when I go so I would recommend the cream cheese scramble. read more

I've been before for breakfast and it was pretty good, went for dinner the other night with family.... my aunt had the fried catfish and was very happy with it, my bacon cheeseburger was alright, my mom and daughter were both disappointed with the chicken fried steak and we all were freezing the entire time. read more

This is a very reasonably priced little spot that draws a healthy "after church" breakfast place, 7 days a week. The service is ok but the food is fine! The breakfast special with 2 eggs;choice of bacon, sausage; grits or hash browns or fruit; toast; $4.99 which INCLUDES coffee. Bring in your picture of your family in the military and become part of their Patriotic Wall. For lunch the burgers are great and the catfish is also a hit at luncheon special prices. The chicken fried steak is nothing to write home about, but, hey, that's why I gave the place a 4 star rating. So, bring your friends and family for some reasonably priced meal selections and enjoy some casual dining at a very friendly place. read more

The food is decent for a quick inexpensive bite but if you're looking for a culinary adventure, you won't find it here.

Went for lunch.Had to wait for 15 minutes to get seated . I have never been ,but girlfriend I was with had . We both got the Catfish dinner . Did not take that long to get . The Catfish was hot ,had to wait for it to cool off a bit. It was gooood . The fries were the frozen kind .but o.k. The coleslaw was homemade and good . Will go back .But will try to get there before noon or after 12:30 p.m. Might try the breakfast, as a lot of people had ordered ,and they all looked good. read more

It's a throwback in time. I ate breakfast and it was delicious. Can't wait to go back.

Greatest little cafe around the area. Good food at low prices & clean. You do Not pay for a bunch of things you don't need.

Excellent service-terrible food. We tried it out after the great reviews, but the good was just bad.
