    Deliciousness! A woman in one of the stores recommended this place for lunch. I had the quiche, baked potato salad, and broccoli cheddar soup. Everything was amazing! The dad's homemade pies were also excellent!

    Combo (half chicken sandwich & quiche)

    What a cute shop/restaurant! The restaurant is located at the back of the shop and the whole set up is really fun. The menu is a bit limited but the quality of what we got leads me to believe that they do their few items very, very well. What we got: Combo - half a sandwich (chicken sandwich) & quiche - 5* all around. It was delicious and filling. The quiche crust was homemade and phenomenal.

    Lovejoy's on Main is a great place to visit. I took my Oregon relatives to grab desserts on the way to the airport. Our party of 7 tried and shared 7 different treats. Among the decadent desserts sampled were carrot cake, German chocolate cake, brownie sundae, and chess pie. ALL were yummy! This place can't be beat. The owner, Hank, talented dessert- maker and a legendary good guy in Whitesboro! He alone is worth the visit! Addison, grandson and soda jerk, has an amazing personality and handled our orders with ease! Everything about this place is great!

    Spinach strawberries salad chicken salad on croissant and of course carrot cake.  I definitely will be back.

    The food was awesome, fast and great service, during the Peanut festival at that. The servers and cooks did a fantastic job on serving the huge amount of people. You all worked like a well oiled machine.

    Tomato Bisque, GF chicken sandwich, potato chips with a pickle wedge.

    Whitesboro, Texas is hometown Americana! Lovejoy's from the outside looks like a gift shop, but in the back it opens up to a wonderful warm inviting cafe with an old fashioned soda fountain. I happened to go during Thanksgiving weekend so the menu was limited but the food was great. I had a tomato bisque with chicken salad. I was informed that they had gluten free rolls so I chose a sandwich which was overflowing with chicken salad. Everything was delicious including the peach mango iced tea. My waitress was absolutely awesome but I confess I am partial because I gave birth to her, but I watched her with other customers as she helped them with choices and asked how they enjoyed their food. She makes her Mama proud. All the staff was very friendly and after my lunch my daughter pointed out a few things in the gift shop that my granddaughter's had their eyes on, so I did a little shopping as well. I was surprised how busy they were on the Saturday after Thanksgiving but my daughter explained they had a shop local day going on. Each of the stores on Main Street had a small gift for everyone who walked in their store as well as sales going on. Downtown Whitesboro was hopping with shoppers. I love the small towns in Texas they remind me of a time back in the 50's when life was simple and I love that they continue to keep the atmosphere to attract people.

    I have eaten here 4 times. The first experience was great. The steak was perfect along with…read moreeverything else except the water which was tap water. Started going downhill from there. My last experience I ordered a rib eye. OMG. I was served a piece of grizzle. I had a sharp knife that couldn't cut through it. I needed a chain saw. I was done with that steak. Any one star chef could tell this wasn't to eat. It was strictly for the garbage. They brought a better piece. I was exhausted. I really think they changed chefs and got 'a want to be' with no experience. This person came out to retrieve my sorry piece of fat and grizzle he served me and had absolutely nothing to say. No apologies at all even though I almost choked to death. The chips and pace salsa are good.

    We tried it again for the second time; there will not be a 3rd. We really want to support local…read moreestablishments, but this one is off our list for good. We were really wanting a good steak; didn't want to drive to Sherman or Gainesville with storms coming, so thought we would try again. What they got right. Blue Cheese dressing was good and thick and the salad large for a dinner salad. Seasoning on the rib eye steaks were very good and they were cooked to medium for me and medium rare for my husband. The cheesy potatoes were pretty good and husband's baked potato was fine (hard to screw up a baked potato). What was wrong. 1) Green beans tasted literally like they had been dumped out of a can and some commercial bacon bits thrown in and this is after we asked was there bacon in them. We expected real bacon, not bacon bits. No other seasonings could be tasted. 2) Rib Eye Steaks: My rib eye was ok, a little tough and gristly - I could eat it with a lot of chewing. Husband's was nothing but fat and gristle (see photo) - over a 1/3 was left on the plate because it was not edible. It is obvious that the steak is not a prime grade, but commercial grade or less. 3) We were also surprised that no rolls, toast or any type of bread was served with our meal. Their response was "we only serve with the BBQ". Guess this is an area where they cut back. I find it very hard to recommend this place for anything, especially with our first experience with the BBQ being so bad and now with the expensive steaks.

It's a special for $7.00 and is unquestionably unique and different. Tequila and coconut cream definitely makes it work. The taste is odd, but in a good way. Ambiance: 4.5 STARS It's a a fun vibe and energy feel. I like the cozy country atmosphere and concept. The decor is cool and shows off Toby Keith's love for music. It's comfortable and clean plus the large booths are nice. Service: 4 STARS My waitress was friendly, helpful and pleasant. She was attentive and polite. Food: 3.75 STARS I tried multiple items and here is the breakdown The cheesesteak is good and well seasoned. The meat is tender and it's loaded with onions and green peppers. When you add the A1 steak sauce it's a tasty bite. The bun could be a bit better though. The Mac & Cheese is a NO. It's like elementary school cafeteria food. Looks cheesy and good, but the flavor is not there. The shrimp cargo appetizer is sautéed in garlic butter, smothered in Havarti cheese, with cajun flavors. It's not bad, but it's decent. The shrimp are a good size. However, it's not for me it's missing something. Baked Potato is huge and filled with butter! The ribs are tender and taste better than they look. The BBQ sauce is nice I enjoyed the flavor. Overall it was a funky good time and experience. I left happy, full and satisfied!

Inside, the atmosphere is small-town comfort at its best -- casual, welcoming, and the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. I ordered the Chicken Bennie, and it was absolutely outstanding. A homemade biscuit served as the base, soft and fluffy on the inside with just the right touch of crisp on the outside. On top of that came perfectly fried chicken tenders, a runny egg that tied everything together, and a generous pour of rich, savory sausage gravy. It all came with a side of crispy fried potatoes that were cooked just right -- golden and flavorful without being greasy. Every bite was pure comfort food perfection. The coffee was smooth and satisfying, the kind that pairs perfectly with a hearty breakfast. Service was excellent as well -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell the staff really cares about their customers and their food. Overall, 1836 Café is exactly what you hope to find in a small-town spot: great food, great people, and an atmosphere that keeps you wanting to come back. I'll definitely be returning, and I highly recommend it to anyone passing through or nearby.
