Food and service was excellent for both me and my wife and our teens. Loved the small town feel and Americana.

On a Sunday at 10a, you'd anticipate the restaurant being packed. Nope. We walked in, and only 5 tables were in use. However, EVERY SINGLE TABLE had food, plates, and trash on them. The servers suggested we pick any table, and they'd clean it up...including the surrounding floor. Why we did not leave immediately? That's on us.... We should have left but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt. Service was decent. Food was decent. Cleanliness and upkeep were terrible. It smelled (sour, mildew). Instead of cleaning tables around us, trash remained. We ate. We left. We were overcharged. Didn't care. Just wanted to get out of there. read more

Ever since they renovated this is my go to place when I want a quick meal! So much cleaner and the food is affordable! Check them out, they have different specials everyday! Service is on point! Whether you're calling or eating in. read more

This little restaurant is one of those hole in the wall restaurants. If you're lucky enough to stumble across please stop in. You will not regret it I promise you that. The food is off the chain!! The atmosphere makes you feel like you're a regular customer and the staff is like you've known them all your life. Not to mention Leesburg TX is Carroll Shelby's hometown. read more

Had the chicken spaghetti. It was delicious. If I lived closer, I would visit this place often. Not living close, I do intend to make another visit. read more

Stepped into a little hole in the wall spot. Ordered the meat lovers and the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and okra. Husband added a side of Mac n cheese. Pros: pizza was tasty and packed with toppings(probably the best overall value); mashed potatoes and gravy were very good. Cons: chicken fried steak was small and overcooked. Okra was just OK. Mac n cheese was not good. Service was OK. Husband got a refill, but nothing for me or kiddo. Thankfully he shared. They weren't mean or anything, just not attentive. They took care of regulars, but we were def out of towners. Space: it's ok. Like the tributes to military and husband caught the cool backstory of Carroll Shelby being a local. The daily specials were like on EVERY wall. It felt overwhelming. The bathrooms were a bit sketchy. Not dirty, but a little old and dingy seems like t could use a new coat of paint and a light to make it not so terrifying. Overall, it wasn't too bad. Wish it could have lived up to some of the yelp hype and photos. Don't retreat going, unsure if I'd go back. read more

Excellent country cooking. Solid service from locals. Small town restaurant vibe where everyone knows everyone. read more

Ma’s Café - Fish and shrimp combo comes with 2 sides at a great price. I had the fried okra and broccoli with cheese. Everything cooked perfectly. - American Near Me - Leesburg, Texas

Who is doing these reviews? From the time we pulled in and saw there was no maintenance being done outside or in. The place was filthy . Food was not all that good for me to overlook the dirt and maintenance. Air conditioners all over but it was hot inside. The waitress had sweat dripping off of her. read more

This is just a little country cafe in the middle of no where. But you have to make the drive to try their Chicken fried ribeye. It was out of this world it will feed 4 people no problem. Be prepared to take plenty home with you for two meals the next day. The service was excellent and my glass was never empty. The cafe is just like you would think a little country cafe would be, nothing fancy just clean, comfortable, and homey. This is a destination cafe, and once you tried it you will make it a point to comeback. read more

Ma’s Café - Yes this is the beast. - American Near Me - Leesburg, Texas

This is sorta a diner restaurant. In a very small town. This was my first visit. If your looking for fancy or a modern restaurant then this is may not be what your looking for. Home cooking style from what I can see of the menu. A few people recommended this place to us. We are pretty limited to restaurants in our area so this style of diner is the norm. I give the burger a 4 star and the fries I would recommend not using same oil they fry their fish in. Gave the fries a little fishy after taste. Certainly popular spot with the locals! The servers were extremely friendly and fast taking the orders. The food took about 15-20 minutes to get out. I will try again, they offer specials every day. read more

Ma's Cafe is my go to for a chicken fried ribeye (steak) when visiting family in Winnsboro, TX. They used to serve the chicken fried ribeye on a plate by itself and the sides were on another plate, but this last visit it all fit on one plate. Kind of disappointing, but the taste was on point. Service can be slow on a busy day and they need to get the flies under control. In short: It's an East Texas diner with great food! read more

We stopped by this little Cafe again and we wanted to try out their pizzas. Excellent choice, the pizzas were excellent and very tasty, I would say that they're the best pizzas in the East Texas area. The staff was excellent. read more

I had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and fried okra, it comes with a nice salad. Fast friendly service and affordable price

Good down-home cooking I haven't had anything to eat here that wasn't delicious. They are so busy and my food is so good that they sell out of stuff quickly so if you're looking for the special of the day you better get there first . Friendly service and everything is fresh and delicious definitely be coming back here. read more

Food is outstanding! The service was just like the food. We we stopped there today 9/23/2023 after

Great little cafe in Leesburg. Family run business with home cooking and very reasonable prices.

Excellent food and great prices! The chicken fried ribeye was incredible. Their pizza crust is handmade and the cheese pizza we ordered was piled high with cheese and tasted great. The service was attentive and very friendly. This is a great find in East Texas & worth the drive! read more

Ma's burger is the best burger I've ever had. Huge. Delicious. And you MUST get the onion rings.

My brother has been wanting to try this small town cafe for some time now. We decided to give it a tru and were glad we did. We will definitely come back. I had a chicken fried steak sandwich, my wife had a burger, my sister-in-law had a Philly cheese steak and my brother had chicken fried chicken. It was all good and would recommend any of them. Next trip to the lake we will be back read more

Good ole country cafe. If you are sick of fast food go here. It's not fancy but it's good ole country food. Lots of people go here. Love it.

Food is great. Ambiance sucks. Servers do not wear masks. Catfish and chicken fried steak are the best. We stopped going because of the mask situation. read more

This is an unexpected gem! The first day we had burgers and it was the best burger ever! Nice and think but not too thick fresh burger. Toasted bun and just the right amount of everything. Tea was fresh and great! Onion rings spot on! Service was quick, friendly and attentive. We went back every day and will be back when we return for another trip! Thank you for the great food and service!! read more

Good homemade food! Don't get in a rush because they cook as ordered! Staff is friendly and the place is casual but busy most of the day!

Great food but be warned, the food is cooked as it's ordered and it can take some time to get your food! But, despite alll that the food is good and the portions are huge! The ladies try hard to please despite the corona crap we all have to endure for the time being! If you want a good home cooked type of meal this is your place! read more

Delicious food and great service. We've had breakfast,lunch and dinner and not been disappointed. Friday-Saturday seafood special is a win too and great price! read more

Phenomenal . It's awesome. Great. Worth. Chicken fried steak. Very cool. Mashed potatoes.

Like many have said, It's not much to look at. But if you want a delicious hamburger- you won't find a fresher tastier one. Their chicken spaghetti is good too. I probably should try more from their menu I'm sure it'll be great. But I just love a great hamburger. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. All the food was home cooked & delicious. Super big servings so you can take home your food & have a second meal lol! It's an old building & outdated but definitely a hidden gem. Don't let the looks deter you. read more
