Brought my family for my mother's birthday. 10 of us total. Food was incredible and fresh. Service was patient and so very helpful. Shoutout to the busser working that shift! Excited to go back and try more of the menu and especially the desserts. Love that it's breakfast all day. read more

Precious folk! Bustling with diners at 11:30 on a Saturday but no one was too busy to greet us, smile and be so accommodating. We had a group of 6 plus a service dog and they were nothing short of gracious. Put us upstairs as she saw it was a family meet up and we laughed, enjoyed fantastic food and incredible service. Diners really thought the catfish was outstanding and the burgers cooked perfectly. As a bit older diners, we did wish for more than one green veggie on the menu but if that is your only complaint . . . We all agreed this will be our spot to meet for lunch quarterly. Good honest home cooking and real service. Well done! read more

The place is perfect! The service and food is above average with plenty of choices with great lunch specials plus have breakfast as well

We stayed in the Hillsboro area for the weekend. Came across this place and I trusted the reviews. Excellent. The food, the service and price were all great. Went right before lunch time so like brunch time and there were several tables open. There are tables upstairs as well. Started off with the fried green tomatoes. Delish! I had their catfish plate and my daughter had the oatmeal with eggs and bacon. She loved it. Would definitely go if in the area again. read more

This place was fantastic. I will definitely be back if I am able. They were the most tender chicken strips I've ever had. Full of flavor as well. The taters and gravy were delicious and the salad bar had a great selection. Coconut pie kicked ass too..... ENJOY the comfort food! read more

Solid food at an excellent price. Went on a busy Sunday and the wait was short. They offer a full menu but they do have daily specials that can't be beat. I had the chicken fried steak and it was delicious. Nice experience read more

meh. Let me start with the very good - decor and atmosphere are outstanding. The waitress was great to explain everything and clearly enjoyed her job. The restaurant is fun. It has a western theme and scriptures around which I appreciated. I wanted to LOVE the food based on other reviews and the waitresses recommendation. We had the chicken fried steak - part was tender, part tough, gravy good. I had the hamburger steak and found it bland. My favorite part was the salad bar. Neat place to stop on a road trip and I'd love to visit Hillsboro sometime as the downtown area - where the restaurant is located - is super cute. read more

As soon as we drove up the filled parking lot was evident that we picked the right place for an early lunch. We walked in to a bustling Cafe. There is no hostess or instructions as to service so we just stood there for a few minutes waiting for directions. Finally a person who was working the register told us to find a place to sit anywhere in the cafe but did indicate that there was a few tables upstairs. We went up, found a table and was immediately greeted with a friendly smile and menus. We ordered coffee and our breakfast foods and enjoyed the sights and sounds before our food arrived in a few minutes. Service was friendly, food was hot and delicious. Really enjoyed the crispy hashbrowns, hot and tasty western omlete with a side of homemade salsa that had just the right spice. We were all very pleased with the cafe and will definitely come back when we come through Hillsboro. Finally, it's a great value for a delicious meal and friendly service. The bill was just under $40, with tip, for 3 adults . read more

Cute little cafe a few miles off the highway. Good daily specials and lots of food. I had a fried chicken sandwich and it was huge! I really enjoyed the salad bar. read more

Manager, who started she was part of the owning family, was rude and unfriendly. Food was bad.

Since moving to Hillsboro, I've visited this establishment several times and have generally had a pleasant experience. The food is consistently good, and the service has always been attentive and welcoming, which keeps me coming back. My only real criticism is the surcharge added when paying by card. While a credit card processing fee is somewhat understandable, applying that same surcharge to debit card transactions is concerning, especially since that practice is not legally permitted. It puts an unnecessary blemish on what is otherwise an enjoyable dining experience.. read more

This place is a mess. The staff we got was so un helpful i had to ask the ladies that were paying attention. The veggie plat let you go to the salad bar but the plate they gVe you to get salad was only the size of the roll we got. Everything was just plane but good. We go to pay at the register and the lady working is complaining about how she needs to take a break and take her pills.. read more

A little off the interstate but SO WORTH IT! I had meatloaf & hubby had chicken fried steak. Both delicious! Service was excellent and we will be back. read more

I always like to try out little local spots whenever I can versus stopping at the typical highway spots on road trips.  Buc-ees has enough support - give the little guys some, ya know ;)  R&K was only 5 minutes off the highway and I was ready for some breakfast, so I decided to take a short detour. R&K has a rustic cowboy town kinda feel.  Seemed to be a popular local spot for the older crowd on a late Monday morning.  It was very laid back with the waitresses just acknowledging you at the door when you arrive to tell you hello and grab a seat anywhere you like.  Even with its dense wood, old timey feel, and metal decor, it was still clean and inviting.  But I did feel like I wanted to arrive horseback and tie up to a post outside.  The staff were hustling to not only wait on tables, but they were part of the food prep as well - chopping vegetables, kneading biscuit dough, and making iced tea.  They were efficient with orders and keeping water or coffee topped off. As for the food, I opted for a bacon, mushroom, and cheese omelet with hash browns and biscuits and gravy.  The food had a greasy spoon dinner vibe and for me the best part was the crispness of the hashbrowns and the B&G.  Not sure I'd get the omelet again - just didn't do it for me. The eggs weren't fluffy and they just felt flat (pun intended).  The biscuits were certainly made in house and the gravy was everything you expect white country gravy to be.  I can see why the older crowd and cowboys were into this place.  Certainly a rustic cowboy country food experience. read more

Driving from Waco to Dallas and just happened to run across this cafe . Thought we'd try it. Let's just say it was the right decision. Not a large location but well worth the wait. Specials for the day were chicken fried steak, full or half order, chicken, and dressing, roast beef, and hamburger steak. They all came with three sides and banana pudding. You could substitute two of the sides for a trip to the salad bar or one side if they made you a side salad. I chose the side salad and it was plenty, which allowed me to get two other sides. The sides for today were baked potato , mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, macaroni and cheese, yams, carrots, and pinto beans. Dinner rolls came with the meal. All of this for $12.99+ your drink. We ordered the chicken fried steak, full order and chicken and dressing. Our sides were green beans, corn and yams. Delicious! Seasoned well. They give you a discount with the cash price. Large portions, homestyle, cooking, friendly staff, and nice atmosphere. I don't see how any of the items on the list you could go wrong with. We were so hungry. I forgot to take pictures of anything except the menu. We will definitely be back and I highly recommend it. read more

Driving through, we stopped in for lunch on a Sunday at noon. This is a classic small town, home cooked style restaurant. We were immediately greeted upon entering and quickly seated. There's lots of tables downstairs and upstairs. The menu options allowed for some of us to get breakfast and some get lunch. The food was good and simple. By 12:30, this place was packed!! The outside looked a little sketch, not gonna lie. But what a great place and glad yelp did not disappoint with this find! read more

A true gem in Hillsboro, TX. The food and atmosphere puts off a comfy feeling as if you are eating a home cooked meal in the comfort of your own home. The price for the amount of food you get is phenomenal. The service is also fast & friendly and food doesn't take awhile to cook. There are a lot more dishes I would love to come back & try. read more

Texas is famous for 3 main food groups: 1. Beef BBQ 2. Tex/Mex 3. Chicken Fried Steak The R&K has the best CFS I've had anywhere. Thank God I got the small or half size. No way I could have eaten the whole one. I would have tried, but then I'd be in a food coma!!! The service was great, restrooms were clean, and the sides and desert were also top notch!! read more

I am new to the area and tried R&K as the first establishment to grab breakfast. The staff were very friendly and we were greeted in a very friendly manner. We grabbed a breakfast burrito to share and it was very good. Based on the name on the menu, I did expect the portion size to be larger (isn't everything bigger in TX?). The next day I went back to try another breakfast item and it was very good. Just wish the bacon was crispy and not medium rare. Overall, I see myself stopping by R&K to try other items. I like the rustic ranch appearance inside. read more
