Walking into this breakfast spot makes you feel like you stepped back in time. Nothing fancy. Nothing modern. They just are there to feed you. I ordered the two eggs(over easy), thick cut ham, hash browns and biscuits and gravy. The server even asked if I wanted another biscuit since I had left over gravy. The biscuit was flaky good but I said no. Water to drink. The service was great. Food came out hot and fast. It was a delicious breakfast. Was it worth the price? YES. I paid $8 for all that food. Would I recommend? YES. Will I return? Most definitely. read more

You haven't truly been to Fort Worth if you don't include either breakfast or lunch--why not both--at this street side cafe. Unpretentious is putting it mildly. Booths or tables, you choose. But be ready for over the top friendly quick service. I love the banter with the staff. Food is solid and roadside diner-like. A must is the chicken fried steak--really tender beef and NOT covered in a heavy breading. The sawmill gravy is a bit thin, my only complaint. The fried chicken lunch special is excellent too. Veggies are solid--love the mashed potatoes and the lettuce salad. Chocolate and coconut pies are legendary but man the lunch servings are so generous I don't know how you could do both. It's traditional in all ways--cash only! read more

Awesome little spot with great service. I ordered the sausage and cheese omelet and I added onions. It was the best omelet I've had in a long time. The onions were grilled which was an excellent surprise! The hashbrowns were just perfect, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. My mom said the biscuits reminded her of her grandmother's. We also got a short stack of very fluffy pancakes. We will definitely be back! read more

What a busy place. We had to wait a bit but all was fine. They were busy. Definitely a locals place. The western omelet was very good. The veggies were grilled which is the only way they should be done. The sausage omelet was also very good. The biscuits very large and good, couldn't eat the whole thing though as it was a lot of food. I think the decor was a lot of original items. Rustic but fitting. I was amazed the old refrigerator they were using was still in working order!! Everyone's super nice. Would def recommend. read more

Cheap, QUALITY food. Can't beat the prices. Staff is friendly. The restaurant itself is a bit old and dated, but that's what gives it character. Nice little diner that I'll go back to for sure. read more

We'd heard about the cafe in the local news, and decided to drop in for Saturday morning breakfast around 9AM. After putting our name in and waiting about 10 minutes, we got seated across from the front door - it was a cold morning, so every time that door opened (which was often) we felt a rush of cool air that our breakfasts did not appreciate. It is a SMALL space trying to accommodate more folks than is comfortable. The tables are squeezed together making it hard for both guests and staff to get around. Removing even just one table would make a huge difference As for the food! Some of the best breakfast I've had out. I ordered one of the specials, labeled the Nugget - two eggs, bacon OR sausage, waffle OR pancake. It was the perfect amount of food! Very rarely do I finish a meal out but I finished this (save for one piece of bacon I shared with my partner) and was perfectly satisfied. The bacon was cooked just right, the eggs tasted fresh and well seasoned, and the waffle was super light and fluffy. My partner got the three cheese omelette with hash browns, a biscuit with gravy, and an extra single pancake on the side. The omelette itself was good, but the cheese was just piled in slices inside, unmelted. He took two bites before removing all the cheese because it was so unappetizing. The hashbrowns had a great flavor, but were pretty soggy. Standard hatred salsa, and a tasty pancake. The biscuit was the star here - you could tell it was homemade fresh, it didn't even need the gravy (though it was tasty!). He also said the coffee was really good, albeit strong. Overall, friendly staff, cute space, and delicious breakfast. We will be back! Even if it means bumping elbows with other guests. read more

Delightful. Everything was delicious. It's a great hole in the wall place. It's tiny. If you call before you go with a big group they'll estimate seating and time for you. It's very small so the 7 of us split two booths. Would definitely go again! read more

Traditional American breakfast with great prices! There was not outdoor dining, but indoor dining is available. Tables are not social distanced. I was able to get the bacon breakfast for just about $5 which comes with three pieces of bacon, eggs as specified (I asked for scrambled), a choice of hashbrowns or grits (I got hashbrowns), and biscuits (or your choice of bread/toast). The portion size was almost perfect for me (I was too full to finish the biscuits), but everything on my plate met my expectations. Service is attentive, and the waitstaff is friendly. After eating, you have to pay at the register. I would come back here again, especially since it's so close to Dickies Arena. read more

I don't know why anyone world give this place fewer than 5 stars. the food was delicious and none of it was from frozen packets like a lot of restaurants. the waitress was friendly and attentive. the most genuine place I've ever eaten in. I had a visitor from Europe and she was enraptured. we had a peerless breakfast, the bacon was cooked right and not limp and stretchy, eggs were done just right, the hash browns started as a potato in the kitchen. limited parking but we had no trouble at 7am. read more

I was a regular diner for breakfast and lunch while attending real estate school next door in 2008. It was always very good. So after a doctor's appointment I stopped for lunch. Got the chicken fried steak with double mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans. The steak is bigger but thinner and is now deep fried instead of cooked on the grill. It had way too much breading. The mashed potatoes were very dry and unseasoned. The green beans were very good but since the rest wasn't I sent it back and left. I'm sure the breakfast is still good but I can get that closer to home so will not be back. If you go during summer take a sweater, they keep it cold in there. read more

Great breakfast!!!!! Hearty American food! This place has fueled many days of equine competition in Fort Worth!

Fun but very crowded. The breakfast was very good and the waitress was delightful.

This is classic down home comfort food right in the Cultural District of Fort Worth. The service can't be beat!

When in Ft. Worth and hungry on a morning-check out Montgomery Street Cafe. We rolled in around 8:30 am and there were a host of regulars sipping coffee, talking shop and getting down to breakfast. This place is old school classic cafe, you won't find gluten free anything-fancy ice coffee or cage free avocados. Sometimes you don't need that fluff-get down to some serious old time breakfast. MSC is everything you'd expect from a trip with your grandpa to the local breakfast joint. History, basics, worn booths and tables and friendly wait staff and a solid no nonsense breakfast. The food was solid, the biscuits looked amazing-we were bummed we didn't order those-but hey, next time. I recommend MSC for your morning hungries. read more

Montgomery Street Cafe - Pork chop, grits, bacon and of course biscuit and gravy! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Disappointing. We checked it out due to the reviews and being in the area. Had a 15 minute wait.. which is not biggie. I thought "It's popular and the wait probably means it is amazing!" We got seated. We ordered the sausage and egg platter (two sausage patties.. 2 eggs soft scrambled.. hash browns and biscuit and gravy. Coffee and water. The couple of waitresses were making their rounds and tried to keep up with coffee.. some tables went to the bev station to refill their waters. It's a smaller place and got down to half capacity pretty quickly. The waitress would come to us occasionally and say "Your food is on the way!" My partner and I were having a good conversation, soo it wasn't a big deal. 55 minutes after we order, our food showed up. The eggs were very overcooked as well as the sausage. The hashbrowns were undercooked and the biscuit and gravy was ok. It had many awards on the wall as best breakfast place in Fort Worth.. but they ended about 2008. I'm guessing the lady who used to run it was no more. It was a very disappointing trip. read more

Wonderful food, outstanding service. We sat at the counter and were waited on quickly and our food came out perfect!

Nestled along the quiet street of Montgomery, this small cafe had exceptional food and wonderful service! I mentioned to my wife that the restaurant was full of folks who seemed to be local citizens - always a good sign at a restaurant. Once the food arrived, we could see why: this place kicks butt! I thoroughly enjoyed my ham & swiss on toasted rye and the family all loved their orders. Small and cramped, this place packs a punch. They have cracked the code on providing good food with good service for many years. Don't stop now! read more

I have dined here several times and found the service to be excellent, and the food delicious. They have been most accommodating in regard to substitutions to keep the carbs down. Typically I sub extra salad for a starch. Very friendly folks! read more

Great food. However, the waitress named Cheryl is a really bad match for this place. Her customer service skills are LACKING to say the least. We waited quite a while for our food and when I kindly inquired about getting our food, she smarted off right in front of everyone, look, I just pulled it out of thin air. Horrible attitude. The other waitresses are awesome so I don't know why we were just treated so horribly but it's not ok. read more

OK, the 5 stars is for incredibly authentic diner experience. It could be 1955. Or '75. Or 2020. I suspect very little has changed since 1949 when it first opened. Small corner diner, laminated menu, friendly waitresses and comfort food for breakfast or lunch. Not retro, not kitschy. Authentic. But the food was great. The coffee never ended. The pies look delicious. My omelette was perfect and served almost too fast. I wanted to linger. To become a regular. Insert "sigh" here. It reminded me of the Hiway Cafe in Ozona TX from when I was a kid. It's not breakfast. It's an adventure! read more

Well, let me tell ya 'bout Montgomery Street Cafe down in Fort Worth, Texas. Been grubbin' on their fixin's since '79. Many many years ago, I asked her to never give me the recipe to the bread pudding. She said, "never give it to you"? I said, yes, because I would be so big I wouldn't be able to get out the door! Now, they got these hours, bless their hearts - crack of dawn 'til 2 PM from Thursday to Wednesday, 'cept Sundays, when they take a well-deserved rest. Montgomery Street Cafe, it's more than a place to eat; it's where memories are made over grits and gravy. If you haven't been, you're missin' out on a slice of Fort Worth's heart and soul. Can get a little bit busy around the stock show . read more

Significant wait at 9:30 on Saturday morning. We waited almost an hour for a table, and for some reason there were groups of the same size getting seated before us. Not a huge deal, but a decent wait. Had the pork chop breakfast with scrambled eggs, hashbrowns and biscuit and gravy. Pork chop was small and, ok. Hashbrowns weren't for me, had an odd texture and flavor. Eggs were good but the highlight was the biscuit and gravy. Food and service were about average. Fairly inexpensive, but I wouldn't wait 45+ minutes to eat there again. read more

Never have I ever eaten in a "small town" diner like this with roughly sixteen tables and a counter. The place looks frozen in time but is so cozy and welcoming. The staff is a dream and the food is delicious. I raved the entire meal about the coffee because it was absolutely fantastic and my cup never went cold due to our attentive server. We were in town for a concert and very I'm glad we were able to snag a meal here. Hours are Monday to Friday from 6am-2pm & Saturday 7am-12pm & I believe closed on Sundays. They take credit/debit cards and cash. I am unsure of other forms of payment. If you're ever in town stop by because you will not regret it. read more

Food was great. Service was excellent and atmosphere was wonderful. So much history to look at.

Excellent food. Waitress was a doll. My only regret is that I didn't order a second pork chop because it was SO TASTY. I like my eggs over hard and they cooked them to perfection. I had a few bites of the sausage burrito and it was pretty good, but I would stick with my pork chop order 100%. Grits were excellent Biscuits couldn't have been any better. Homemade, soft, doughy. Loved them!!!! read more
