Always great! Food never disappoints and service is fast and friendly. Our favorite place to dine in Cleburne.

Good food and service. They were fast and the orders were exact and hot. The value for what you get is well worth it.

My 4th time here and I absolutely love this place. Beautiful decor and very charming. The staff has always been welcoming and the food spot on. Have had the salad bar, chicken fried steak, and enchiladas. All wonderful. My goto stop on the way to my lake house every time! read more

Sure wish there was a less than one star rating because this place deserves it. We sat at our table for over 8 minutes without anyone of the wait staff acknowledging our presence. Will never return and will spread the word on my poor experience. read more

Good food, but waitress should spend more time taking care of customers than socializing. Sitting at a table with friends for ten minutes is not doing their job. If you order something cook the way you like it the cook plays games with the food. read more

Tried this little diner on a locals recommendation while in the area, and was pleased with both the service and the food. The fully packed parking area was an early testament to their quality, and I was not disappointed in the least. Everything from their pricing, to their portions and flavor represent what's desirable in a small town diner. Upon first stepping inside the R&K Cafe 2, you're met with the simplicity and straightforwardness expected within a small town diner. No reason to overdue things when simple and straightforward, albeit delicious american fare makes up the just of the menu. We were greeted moments after we stepped inside by a waitress, whom told my buddy and I to sit where we would like. We were quickly served our drinks, and didn't have to wait long at all to place our orders. I never in fact had to ask for a refill or anything, as the wait staff seemed to be on top of just about everything we needed. I was in the mood for a hearty meal, and ordered the R&K burger with Double Patties, Cheese, Jalapeño, and Chilli. My buddie ordered a club sandwich with fries. The burger was delicious, the meat obviously was hand mashed ground beef as it seemed to be packed by hand and off rounded rather than pressed and even. The meat texture and flavor took me back to the home cooking I was raised with, and had that pure home made flavor with simple salt and pepper. The chilli wasn't too salty and didn't overpower the burger too much, as I could still take in the juicy beef with every bite. My only (minor) complaint would be that the jalapeños were a little milder than I had hopped. The club my buddy ordered was quite a bit larger than I had expected, and looked delicious as well. I'd recommend this spot to any body passing through Cleburn in the mood for high quality american diner fare, as everything about the meal and service I received was as good as I could expect in the area. Of course to any locals looking to try some place new, I'd tell you to give them a shot! I doubt you'd regret your decision. read more

I was told about R&K after my mother in law tried the chicken fried steak, she told me it was amazing and great value for money so I had to check it out for myself. On my first visit I tried the rump steak which comes with a choice of sides (the choices are amazing I might add). The steak was great, the sides were all amazing too, I had corn and mashed potatoes (You do get a choice of 3) My wife had the garden salad and never has anything different, the waitresses have even taken the effort to bring extra onion each time for no extra charge. The next time I visited I had the chicken fried steak, this was AMAZINF and the serving was huge. This time the restaurant was out of regular corn so I had to substitute for corn nuggets and i've gotta say this was the first time I'd ever eaten them, I'm originally from England so it was new to me, but this new food was amazing to me and I look for it everywhere. Overall R&K is a great resturant, beautifully decoraated in western style decor, great food and a great service. read more

If I could bump the star up a little tad above 4, I would. Honestly, I would say 4.3 or so. The food is pretty darn good and the wait staff is "down home friendly" most of the time. The last time we ate there, we overheard a waitress telling another customer some very wrong information; however, the manager fixed everything. I have not personally experienced bad service, but I witnessed a little going on to my left. Perhaps she was having a bad day. Anyway, the place is pretty consistent. If you are hungry GET THE RIBEYE! It is cooked on an open wood fire. If you are really hungry, request a large cut. The steaks are all precut, but of course, some are going to be slightly bigger or smaller. The menu is limited, but good. I have had to add a little salt here and there to the peas and other sides. Other than that, the food is solid. read more

Creative menu, friendly staff, delicious food, and great price. Can't ask for anything better! I recommend going for lunch to get their specials. You will be able to get an awesome deal and you'll be full!! read more

I love the new look. Good is still great, homestyle! And the atmosphere has improved with the renovations.

This place is what I would call, "southern favorites". I had the pleasure of eating here. And they have great southern favorites. The lunch special is the absolute best deal I've found in the area. The food was literally out in a flash and it was good. The servers were friendly and very informative. Their cole-slaw and many other things are made in house. That to me was worth stopping in. I also discovered the their pies are all house made. Next time you're in Cleburne, stop in and give R&K a try. read more

R & K Cafe II - This is a country fried steak, coleslaw, baked potatoe, and squash casserole. - American Near Me - Cleburne, Texas

Very friendly staff, and pretty good food. R&K is definitely nothing fancy but it's always good and very reasonably priced, especially the daily specials, If you save room ,the pies are pretty good too, but many of the specials you get banana pudding for dessert, so you may never get to the pies. Avoid going on a Sunday for lunch unless you get by 11:30 or don't mind waiting. There is always a wait. The service though is usually fast so the wait's never intolerable. read more

This place belonged to my grandmother when I was little now it is the best breakfast so good

Great home cook meal. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Check out their daily special on Facebook.

You can't go wrong here, it's home cooking but in a Cafe setting. From Breakfast to Burgers, to Chicken Fried Steak, it's all really good. Simple do well is as only way to describe the goodness. R & K also has a Weatherford Tx location that is just as good. read more

Read the reviews online so decided my wife & I needed to give it a try & we were not disappointed. I had the fried catfish which was very good & the sides were great too. My wife had the chicken fried steak & said it & her sides were equally delicious. The quantity & prices are solid & hard to beat. Our waitress was fun & another was accommodating too as they help one another which is also refreshing. We definitely plan on going back anytime we're in town & it's busy, but worth the wait. read more

So after having a breakfast of runny eggs over easy, bacon puddle in grease and biscuits with canned gravy I can only think my mother in law must be in the back. She has zero cooking abilities. The price was low but you get what you pay for in this case. My kids wanted McGriddles and they were not wrong. NEXT! read more

Great breakfast! Staff is nice and very helpful. The restaurant is always clean. The food is always delicious.

Don't come here unless you're really hungry! The portions are huge! We ordered the chicken fried steak bites for an appetizer and WOW! They were soft and delicious! Everyone loved their food and I think we may have found our new spot. The only down fall was that our waitress was a little out of pocket but another one was happy to help us.... other than that this place is fantastic. read more

I had gone for the "all you can eat catfish," which they claimed to serve during the breakfast hour. I had ordered corn and mashed potatoes as my sides. The waitress attending my table at the time, after taking my order, came back a little later, and apologized that they did not have a way to make the sides, so I said "no problem," and changed it to fries. About five minutes later, a different person comes back to the table, and told me that they were not ready to make the cat fish, and that it would be another "45 minutes." I was starving, so I settled for the ultimate omelet. Granted, the omelet was great, but I live in Dallas, and I did not drive all that way for an omelet! If you are going to offer something, have your kitchen ready beforehand, and for pete's sake people, convey the news to your waitstaff ahead of time. If I do go back, I will call in ahead of time, to make sure they are ready. That is a long drive for me. read more

Saw the reviews and checked it for breakfast. It was right on. Portions are huge and all home cooked. My wife I and Split the chicken fried steak breakfast and it was delicious. We will definitely be going back to try their lunch and dinner. Service was outstanding, quick and extremely friendly. If you want a bang for your buck this is it read more

While visiting beautiful Cleburne decided to grab some hometown favorites. Simply put - don't waste your time nor money at this so called "cafe". The people are extremely nice. The food is extremely horrible, at best. Try another local Cleburne favorite instead. read more

Best home cooked chicken fried steak you can buy out. My husband and I both had the chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, cream gravy, corn, green beans and salad. The salad is the old traditional dinner salad--small iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, croutons and onions. I wished I had passed on the salad and had an extra helping of mashed potatoes. Yes they were that good! read more

Everything, everything was amazing! Chicken fried steak bites are great! Roast beef was the best! And banana pudding after all of the amazing food. I was waddling out! Service was excellent and it was packed! read more

Seems like a very nice place with good food. I had the enchiladas (with beef) and the chips and salsa that came with the meal were surprisingly good. I suspect that ordering Mexican food here was a mistake, though. It was good, but not quite worthy of five stars. They seem to specialize more in burgers, fried steaks, etc. The service was also prompt and courteous. read more

Great family dinner! The chicken fried steak was very good and the side vegetables were outstanding. This place was way out of my area, but will definitely go back if I was in the area. read more

Small cafe. Great family atmosphere. Delicious food!! Had chicken fried steak, BLT, breakfast burritos. Everyone said five stars. People ay next table had chicken and dressing. It looked and smelled delicious. They commented how good it was. read more

We went there for breakfast and we were told to move to another table which we did .Then we were told to move again from that table .I called up there to complain and the explanation was ,"we have a waiting list " .We are regulars at this local restaurant . I find it awfully fishy you can't leave a Facebook review now ?? read more

I feel compelled to write this review about not feeling very welcome at a restaurant I have supported and enjoyed for years. I had an issue on Saturday August 15 where a waitress took my plate before I was even finished with my food and have to holler at her that I wasn't finished. I have many times covered this and requested many times with staff not to take my plate without asking first. The waitress commenced to telling me I was done and even acted like she was licking my food to claim it as her own. No this waitress was not wearing her mask, none were when we arrived until the manager showed up and were told to, this one still didn't. I told her to get out of my face, she continued, I even raised my voice and told her to get the "F" out of my face. She still continued so I yelled for the manager. The only thing that happened was this waitress was sent home for the day. We paid our bill and left. I have now been back twice and this same waitress has been back with out so much as an apology from her. This has now led to waitresses we talk to and have always conversed with all the time to not even acknowledge we are there, passed up for coffee refills, etc. My friend and I that enjoy coming in sometimes 2-3 times a day hope that this hostile and rude attitudes among some of these workers can me changed. The owners and some of the good workers is why we keep coming back, and the food. I'm just not sure how I feel about coming back to a place that management has let their workers make patrons feel unwelcome. So just be warned if you get cross with this waitress you might get your food licked. read more

Food is great,parking is terrible,the waitresses were loud and obnoxious yelling at each other might have caught them on bad day don't know read more

Disappointed. Came in for Catfish dinner on a Friday. Catfish was far from hot. Hushpuppies were not fresh. Used to come here. Can't comeback. read more

We stopped here for lunch when in town for Antique Alley. The place was packed at 1 pm so we killed time in some of the shops nearby and came back an hour later and got a table right away. Very friendly and attentive servers and great food! Chicken Fried steak was expertly prepared. Sides were good too and the rolls had just a touch of sweetness. Definitely will eat here again. read more

First visit based on Yelp reviews- glad we did , nothing fancy but very friendly and fast service, and basic home cooking. Agree with previous posts about parking, but you can find a place on the street if you need. Will go back read more

I was eating my dinner and looked down and right by my plate was a huge mouse dropping on the table. I showed the waitress and she let someone in charge know. We could not even finish our meal we we so disgusted and they were rude and did absolutely nothing to fix it. read more
