    Pork chops with eggs
    John C.

    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.

    Great food - Menu could use more on the A La Carte but that's about it One of the better chicken fried steaks I've had in a while! Service sucked but I was in no rush and had a good coffee after

    Egg & Cheese Melt with Sliced Potatoes ($11.75 10/2024)
    Christie N.

    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!

    I had the meatloaf,mashed potatoes & pinto beans . Delicious every bite. Onion Rings here are the real deal . Big thick slices of onion and seasoned batter . Service was prompt . Tea was refilled quickly. Place was clean . Feels like a real cafe pardon the pun . Plenty of comfortable seating

    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!

    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.

    Part of my 2 by 4 $12.25

    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.

    Breakfast menu

    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!

    Greasy chicken fried steak, and cold eggs

    The food came out greasy, cold, and missing items. It also took over 30 min. When you order grits, when putting butter in them, you would think it would melt? Nope!!

    Pancakes and biscuits and gravy
    Rafael M.

    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. Just a typical breakfast, the pancakes were delicious. They were nice and fluffy. I also had an order of biscuits and gravy. It could of been more flavorful and a little thicker gravy. It's an easy place to dine. I will be back to try their pot roast.

    Coffee
    Charlotte H.

    The food was good. The eggs were just like I asked for. The restaurant was definitely a good one. Coffee was hot. the restaurant was clean. The waitresses were nice. The prices were decent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Ham & Egg Omelette delicious!
    Lauren A.

    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!

    My wife and I visited a barbecue restaurant we hadn't tried yet, "Rosako's Soulfood and BBQ." (2816…read moreBrown Trail, Bedford, TX 76021) As soon as I got out of my car, I knew I'd found something interesting. The restaurant had a sign stating, "Electric vehicle charging available here." Just to the right of the sign were two Level 2 chargers. We each ordered two 2 meat plates, which included two sides. When we got home and opened the to-go boxes, we realized we had WAY over-ordered. We had enough for two meals for each of us! We had chicken and pork ribs, mac & cheese and flat green beans. It was very tasty with a sweet and spicy barbecue sauce. I spoke with the owner and thanked him for supporting EVs, to which he replied, "How could I not? It's what's coming. How could I not get on board?" He mentioned that quite a few of his customers found him on Plugshare.com and stop by regularly for a meal and charge. I had to Google "So mote it be."

    We decided to order from this restaurant through the Too Good To Go app…read more I rarely write harsh reviews, but this experience deserves every bit of criticism. What happened today was unacceptable from the moment we walked in. The place was visibly dirty and completely unappetizing. The back area was mostly hidden behind what looked like a shower curtain, which did nothing to inspire confidence. There appeared to be only one man working, and he came out only a few times during the entire 45 minutes we waited. Even more concerning, there was a child who looked to be about eight or nine years old wearing latex gloves and repeatedly coming out to the front, apparently helping with restaurant tasks that no child should be doing. Despite having prepaid through Too Good To Go, no one acknowledged us for nearly 10 minutes. We stood in a hot dining room with almost no air conditioning while the child wandered in and out and the adult remained behind the curtain. More people arrived behind us, also with prepaid orders, until there were about 10 people waiting. We watched three other customers receive their food before us. One was a DoorDash driver, which made sense, and one woman had arrived before us. However, another woman with a very small order was served ahead of us even though she arrived after we did. When the man finally came out, we showed him our Too Good To Go order. He swiped the app, marking our order as picked up, then disappeared behind the curtain again and never returned with our food. After waiting 45 minutes in a sweltering dining room on a nearly 100-degree Texas day, we gave up. We left without the food we had already paid for. At that point, losing the cost of the meal was preferable to staying in that environment any longer. This was one of the worst pickup experiences I have ever had. Between the unsanitary conditions, the lack of staff, the presence of a child apparently performing restaurant tasks, the complete absence of customer service, and the fact that we never even received the order we had already paid for, I can say with complete confidence: We will never return.

    Alright now, this place is a gem!…read more I work with someone who raves about this place, and I finally decided to try it. Walking in, the young lady at the register was so sweet and pleasant. I had an online order and arrived a bit early, she politely let me know there would be a little wait, and I did not mind. I would, much rather wait, than walk in twenty minutes early to see my food just sitting there. It is a small space, but one that comes with warmth. What I chose: Mixed Plate Teriyaki Beef - The first bite, YES! The meat was seasoned so well, I was afraid the teriyaki sauce would overtake the flavor; it didn't. Both, the sauce and the seasoning complemented each other very well. The beef was thinly sliced and free of fat. I can't stand enjoying a bite, and out of nowhere, boom, a piece of fat. I'm not a beef person, but I'm so happy I tried something different. Hamburger Steak: I couldn't wait to try this, it's delicious! The patty is plenty and well seasoned; it isn't heavily seasoned, but well seasoned. It was juicy and not dried out, which sometimes happens. The gravy was perfect, and went perfectly with the meat patty. Next time, I will ask for more gravy and onions. I love grilled onions with meat patties. With my order, I asked for steamed veggies, but received rice instead. I don't eat rice often, but this is the one time I was happy with the mishap. I had a small bit with the gravy and patty, delicious!! Sides: Mac Salad and Rice - I didn't order rice; instead, it should have been steamed veggies. As I said above, the rice ended up being a great mishap; it was perfect with my meat patty and gravy. The mac salad, sadly, I didn't like. It wasn't horrible, it just didn't hit the right taste buds. Chocolate Mac Nut Cheesecake: I only tasted a spoonful of this, but it was good. I wouldn't get it again, for me, it was too sweet. They do have another cheesecake, which looks like a plain cheesecake, with a sauce on top. That, I will try. Spam Musubi: There seems to be more rice than what I am used to, so I cut it in half, and it made for the perfect bite. This was more than enough food; I have plenty to take to work for lunch and will have more to enjoy for dinner. I am so happy I visited. I will definitely visit periodically for a hamburger steak, and I am anxious to try their panko shrimp. Add them to your list, it is a must!!

Upon arrival and as we entered this little gem I just admit I was worried. It was dead and appeared only one person was working. We learned they only had 4 meat offerings, fried chicken, fried pork chops, meatloaf and fried catfish. We were a bit disappointed when we learned they only had wings and legs for the fried chicken but moved on and placed an order.

The corn and greens were cooked with waaaaayyyyy too much pepper and should have been labeled as spicy corn and spicy greens. Also, the greens needed to be picked - I had too many big stems in my serving, and I'm not a fan of those. Would I go back when I'm in the area? Yes.

Cody was our server and he was courteous and lively, and overall we really liked the cozy vibe inside. Plenty of space inside for large groups and can be intimate enough for date night too. We ordered the spicy calamari, a Caesar salad, and a pasta sampler to share. First, the complimentary garlic rolls came out, and they might have been my favorite part of the meal. Incredibly buttery, soft, and flavorful. The calamari had a nice batter and savoriness but my girlfriend noted that the green onion garnish tasted off and seem spoiled. We let Cody know and he hopefully relayed that to the chef to let them know. The Caesar salad was pretty typical but enjoyable nonetheless. We got the pasta sampler and the first thing I noticed was that the sauce tasted pretty one dimensional and a bit too sweet for my liking. I'm no Italian food expert but I found it to be at the same level as canned sauces. The cheese fillings and pasta themselves were pretty good and there no complaints there. The meatball also suffered from being a bit bland and had the same problem with the sauce. Maybe it was just an off day, and I do understand they are a family business. Hoping that if I try dining here again I'll have a much better experience than this one.
