Having grown up in Texas with a mom that cooked all the best southern staples like chicken fried steak I know what one is supposed to look and taste like. The chicken fried steak at Real Texas Cafe is as close to moms as it can be. The taste is great, the meat tenderized, it's the right thickness and the breading is crunchy so the overall impression is that this is a great chicken fried steak. Of course my favorite sides are mashed potatoes covered in gravy. Really crispy fried okra. I haven't had fresh fried okra in ages so when I popped the first couple of bites into my mouth I was pleasantly surprised that they were fresh and not frozen! I was in town for only a few days but enjoyed this meal so much I came back a second day to enjoy another plate! Service was great, the food was great I certainly will come back and recommend the Teal Texas Cafe. read more

This ambiance could use some work, a few repairs, a sign outside on the building and paint update, change the chalk wall, but the don't let the lack of an inviting exterior deter you from eating here because the food is amazing, the wait staff was so friendly, and to me that is more impressive than a photo opp. My husband and I shared chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and fried okra and it was cooked to perfection, well seasoned and tasted homemade. I would return in I was in the area read more

Good afternoon Yelpsters. Hope you're enjoying the rain as much as my yard is. I think I saw it smiling. Free water is always the best kind. So today, I wanted brunch. I usually trust my instinct. In the age of technology, those instincts are supplimented by an App, and thousands of thousands of great people like you. Yes you. . A review of Real Texas Cafe was highlighted this morning, so ever the lover of local mom and pop businesses, I scrubbed up to come chow down. I even put my stretchy joggers on just in case. I missed the rush. I figured theyclose at 2:30, come about 1:00 because the working ladies and gent have to be back at work. Lighter foot traffic means an unrushed, unstressed prepared brunch. Chefs/cooks don't need to be overwhelmed all the time. So I never show up last half hour of service, or at rush hour. The last picture tells the story. This is a family owned, family operated restaurant, not just in function, but in feel, in experience. It has an honest feel as if they truly want you to feel fed, and at home. No corporate vibe here. The kids are waiting and bussing tables, cashing you out, smiles galore. The meal? Griddlecakes, thick, but super light, fluffy, golden brown with that perfect buttery crisp edge. Just after Easter, both Jesus and these griddlecakes rose up. One saves my soul, the other, my appetite. God would laugh at that one so it's cool for you too. I asked for the sliced potatoes with crispy-crispy fried onions. Never in my 45 years of cooking have I achieved this result. The potatoes are soft as a baked potato inside, but crispy outside, the onions, what I pictured in my kind was not near as perfect as what appeared on my plate. I wanted to ask the chef how so I can replicate them at home. Eggs were scrambled light, fluffy, maybe they add something. These were light, realky scrumptious. Only slight was the coffee wasn't as strong as I prefer. It was a flavorful light roast, but I'm a coffee snob, so I prefer a rich, darl premium roast. Partially my fault for adding cream before tasting. Wasn't enough to withhold a star though. Thank you Yelpers that took time to share this spot with me. I've driven by Westpark way and 121 for 3 decades. I had a motorcycle accident on this very corner in 2000 something... youch. Never saw this place looking at traffic. But today it was highlighted on Yelp. Well worthy of the high ratings. Till next time. Stay safe, be well, be it known you are loved, important, necessary. Have great days, enrished lives. Thanks for reading, and sharing your experiences. Peace and bacon grease. read more

First a thank you for not turning us away 45min till close. I hate arriving before a place closes. Great service and a nice place to have breakfast or lunch. The menu includes breakfast and lunch and you can have breakfast at any time as well. The food came out quickly and was delicious. We all loved our food. Plenty of refills on drinks. Great prices as well. read more

Completely underwhelmed, especially for for the price. Almost $40 for a Waffle, Cute little omelet and potatoes. I've eaten here before for lunch.And it was okay so I decided to try the breakfast. I'm at Walmart now looking for my own Waffle, iron, complete disappointment. I really have had better food at a complimentary hotel breakfast the best thing I had was my black coffee. You will get full, but you will feel full of air, more than anything read more

Had a good breakfast. Easy parking. Very convenient place to eat close to local hospital. Lots of seating options and looked like two side rooms for larger gatherings. Dessert counter with single slices of pies & cake. Typical breakfast & lunch diner menu with daily specials. A little over priced compared to other local places with same fare in my opinion. Very quiet with multiple tables enjoying meals. Immediately greeted, seated & drink order taken. Friendly service with 2 ladies working the room & register (mid morning during the week). Received our meals quickly. I was looking for a cheaper item and ended up with the EGG & CHEESE MELT ($11.25) with sliced potatoes. (You choose bacon or sausage for the sandwich then hashbrowns or sliced potatoes as the side). Two buttery slices of Texas toast with egg, cheese, & bacon. Truly hard to go wrong here unless you're watching calories and cholesterol intake. The potatoes were okay but nothing special. My Mom got THE TRADITIONAL ($13.75) - Two eggs, bacon (believe there was 3-4 slices), sliced potatoes, served with multigrain toast. We both enjoyed our meals. They were good basic breakfasts. Just a little more expensive than I'm used to in the area. But owning a small business is expensive and I imagine costs associated with maintaining an older building aren't cheap either. They have done a good job! read more

Ate breakfast there this morning with my best friend. It was our first time patronizing. It's a quiet place, it was clean and it smelled good. It reminds me of Dixie House in FW. That's a good thing!!! I love DH's food and Real Texas Cafe's food was awesome, as well as, the coffee. I'm a fan of eating really good simple things, and this case, it was pancakes and bacon with coffee to drink. Real Texas Cafe's pancakes were crunchy around the edges, the perfect thickness, the butter was whipped and the bacon was good and crunchy. I was full and ready to start and finish out my day!!! I saw those pies but held back this time!!! Our server was great and professional and everyone that worked there was so nice to us. It's a "good place, good food" feeling cafe and I'm sure that I'll go back in the future when I'm on that side of town. read more

Trying out Real Texan Cafe. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the waffles were light and airy. Our server was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. The cafe has a cozy, down-to-earth feel, perfect for a weekend brunch. It seemed reasonably priced for the generous portion sizes. Highly recommend! read more

What a great hidden gem in the MidCities area. My dining out Toastmasters club decided to gather at Real Texas Cafe for our monthly meeting. Our meeting organizer knocked it out of the park, she picked an incredible venue with good ole southern cooking that makes tummies very happy. There were over 20 of us in attendance and the staff took care of us with military precision. Real Texas Cafe has a great menu of family favorites that will satisfy even the most pickiest eater. If someone can't find something on the menu they like, then something's wrong. I love a good meatloaf. After reading the previous reviews, I knew right away that I needed to order 'Mama's Meatloaf" accompanied with mashed potatoes and fried okra. You can't get much better than that. My wife decided on the grilled chicken salad. After a short wait, our orders started arriving. The whole staff pitched in to get the plates delivered to the proper individuals without the hot entrees getting cold. No one was disappointed. The portions are ample. If you leave Real Texas Cafe hungry, it's your fault, not the restaurants. My meatloaf was delicious. The accompanying mashed potatoes and fried okra were seasoned perfectly. Every once in a while one has to splurge on unhealthy choices and I had no regrets. My wife's salad was all that she wished for, cool, crisp and packed full of all the veggies she loved. Again our servers were spectacular in their handling of our group. My wife and I decided to return again soon for breakfast. We can't wait. read more

I was looking for a good breakfast spot and this place didn't disappoint. Food was hot and fresh. I'll be back soon to try lunch!

We happened to be in the area and enjoy the small, "hole in the wall" type of places, so thought, why not? We were immediately greeted by a friendly young man right we went walked in and were taken to a booth. We didn't wait long at all for drinks or to have our order taken, but the wait for our food was a bit long. At first glance, we weren't excited about the food, especially the 2 by 4, but we soon learned everything actually tasted great! The entire service staff seemed to work together as a happy team. They ran food and refills to each others tables and were all attentive. We were truly impressed by that. On our way out we asked the young man who greeted us and he let us know his mom owns the Cafe and it really gave us a family owned feeling, full of people who care about the customers. Definitely a spot worth checking out. read more

Great family style menu restaurant! Very friendly staff, clean with an up to date (Texas) decor/ atmosphere. Check out included menu pictures. The $12.99 price (for many items) could seem high until you see the large portions of fantastically prepared food. I love the Real Texas Omelette, it's a meat lovers plus! However, I'm never gotten anything which wasn't exceptional! They also have great homemade pie, too! This place is a must try! read more

This is definitely a mom and pop place with many regular customers. The waitresses are very friendly and attentive. They have daily specials. I had the two by four.

Everything great and actually better than expected aside from our server who disappeared after randomly deciding to give a table her unsolicited political opinions lol. She's harmless but funny and not the most focused..no big deal. Breakfast potato's were AMAZING! Perfectly crispy on the outside and indulgently soft on the inside. Eggs were perfect and portions large. Coffee great. Highly recommend! read more

Real Texas Cafe - Ham & Egg Omelette delicious! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Euless, Texas

Had a few issues with this place but may/may not give them another try. Ordered the veggie omelette and asked for no onions (had a ton of onions). The potato slices were good and had the biscuit (which was huge but cold). Also ordered a single pancake, which was fine. The decor was western, wide open space, typical booths and square tables. Biggest issue was they must've done a shift change while I was there because I waited 20 minutes for someone to give me my check. The other servers kept walking by but no one wanted to step up and take over my table. Little frustrating when you're ready to leave and people keep ignoring you. read more

My husband and I came in for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon a couple of weeks ago. I was craving a chicken fried steak, and told him we needed to come here because I had seen the positive reviews others had posted about this dish. 10/10 would recommend this chicken fried steak. It was AMAZING and hit just the spot for the craving I had. Too many places now are doing chicken fried ribeyes, which is absolutely not what I wanted. I grew up in rural Texas, where we used cube steak and served large portions. This hit both those marks. I wanted a taste of home, and by golly this was it. The steak was even large enough for my husband and I to split! My husband got coffee and I got a coke. The coffee was not great. It was fresh, but tasted very much like Folgers. We prefer the Avoca, Lavazza, or Segafredo beans that other local brunch cafes are offering. We got mashed potatoes and fried okra for sides. The menu is correct, these are REAL, made from scratch, mashed potatoes, not instant potatoes. The okra was fried to perfection. The ambiance left a little to be desired. For a place called "Real Texas Cafe," I expected decor to be more similar to a country kitchen or to the Texan vomit all over Old West Cafe's walls. The black and white tile and grey walls made it feel like it was going for something between modern and art-deco style, which does not fit with the vibe of the food they are serving. The pictures and painted cow skulls on the walls definitely fit the theme, but the base colors of the building really need work. The service was wonderful. Our waitress sat us and made sure we were well-taken care of, even though we came in 50 minutes before closing and were clearly their last customers of the day. Overall, we will return here. Only things keeping this from being a 5-star review are the coffee and the decor. But the food is top-notch! read more

Real Texas Cafe - Pie cabinet... I took a couple of the banana pudding pies to go. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Euless, Texas

I wish I could give zero stars!! This was awful! It was recommended by a family member, she was paying so I didn't object! Firstly, the place seemed dusty and dingy. What concerned me was that there was only one waitress, so to avoid drama I only ordered a salad. Family members ordered pork chops and so on, they were all as disappointed at how tasteless the food was! And expensive too! To add salt to our wounds, the payment machine wasn't working and thoroughly embarrassed our host! It seemed other patrons were also having issues with the card reader! A mess. Never coming back, Unless it's to show people what a joke this place is! read more

Not sure what is worse, the food or the service. Order was wrong twice, sausage was burnt, had to ask twice for coffee, and we had to get up to get our own silverware and syrup because there was no one around. They only have good reviews because they offer you a dollar off your bill for a picture and good review. read more

My family and I have been grabbing food to go from Real Texas Cafe since 2020. We usually order the Chicken Fried Chicken, Chicken Fried Steak, or the meatloaf with some sides and they never disappoint. Food is delicious and the portions are huge! Since they are now open for dine in and we realized they also sell breakfast, we decided to stop in on a Friday morning. The place was nice and quiet and the service was quick and friendly. Hubby ordered some French toast and hot chocolate and I ordered the SOS, which was biscuits, eggs, sausage, and potatoes smothered in gravy. We enjoyed our meals, but I prefer stopping by or ordering lunch and dinner instead. Plus, it's a lot more socially acceptable to enjoy some pie or cake, which is on display at the front of the restaurant, and hard to resist, after those meals than breakfast. read more

You know you are in trouble when you order 2 pork chops 1 grilled and the other fried and then you can't decide which one tastes the best!

Did not try the onion rings but they looked wonderful. read more

We happened upon the Real Texas Cafe by chance on Labor Day. We were greeted by a friendly hostess and seated immediately. Our drinks were taken and delivered shortly afterwards. The staff was super nice and the food was exactly what we expected for a diner. Fast hot and overall - good food. The reason for 4 Stars - We had one small issue, there were eggshells in my omelet and I didn't eat the last fourth of it. It was interesting because the first part of the omelets was fine and I was really enjoying it. It was also such a big omelet, that I didn't feel like I missed breakfast. My husband told the manager, not to complain, but to let the kitchen know, and the manager not only deducted that from our ticket, but invited us back for a second chance! We will definitely be back. read more

What a find! We woke up late for our usual brunch date, but Real Texas Cafe is open until 8pm! I arrived ready for pancakes but quickly the entree of the day board caught my eye. $11.95 for chicken fried steak, 2 sides, salad and a roll?! Pancakes were quickly forgotten. The amount of food that arrived was so worth the price, and their chicken fried steak did not disappoint. In fact, my fiancé and I think it just might be the best CFS in town, and we've tried A LOT. Go try them out! I'm headed back for breakfast ASAP. read more
