I have passed this place at least a hundred times always intending to stop but not quite making it…read morehowever tonight is the night I find myself at the infamous Cowboys Truck stop and the Junction Cafe. First and foremost these are some of the friendliest people that I have ever encountered. As I approach from the outside ruck parking area I must confess it does look a sketchy there is no one here no one moving around but as I get closer I realize there are a few people in the store area. The cafe itself is almost like a building within another building it's walled off with large windows and a brick facade. Entering through its door I immediately notice that the place is very clean and even smells clean. I ring the bell on the counter and a gentleman comes out advises that I should sit anywhere so I did, the menu is presented and my drink order taken. As I look over the menu he returns with my tea and asks me to bear with him he is all alone tonight as his server didn't come in to work. He is pulling double duty as Cook and Server but assured me I will be well taken care of. I ask for some chips salsa and guacamole and he asked what level of spice I would like in my guacamole. I assured him I could take the heat so whatever he brings out will be fine by me. The salsa is sort of a brownish color and what I have often heard referred to as a dinner salsa. Body you ask yes it has body it thick but smooth the heat level is very nice and all of the ingredients are almost puréed it goes down smoothly. The guacamole was made freshly for me it's great I'm so impressed already with the attention to detail the guacamole has tomatoes onions and peppers both sweet green and jalapeños the vegetables are cut in decent sized pieces so that they are actually identifiable and not lost in the mix as I so often encounter. The chips are just that chips but they are plentiful. I order the combo fajitas consisting of chicken and beef being as I'm not really sure what I want. It doesn't take my host long to bring the food and bring it he did I actually asked for a half portion and was quickly glad that I didn't go for the full one. The sizzling skillet of meat is brought the table and immediately I am just overwhelmed with the aromas of the grilled meat and vegetables the seasonings are good and not over powering allowing for the meat to speak for itself. I am also brought a side plate of pico, sour cream, shredded cheese and sliced avocado as well as a bowl of rice and another of beans. The rice is the standard Spanish style but the beans are on a whole other level. Had me thinking I should have just gotten a double order of them and been just as happy. Everything presented is excellent I'm very happy and grinning it's been a while since I've had this level of cooking and I am really impressed. Let's face it, I'm in a truck stop in nowhere Texas enjoying food that is way above what one would associate with standard truck stop fare. This is way to much food for me there's no way I will come close to finishing it but I will not leave it behind into the box it goes. As I bring this to an end I would just like to urge you to give them a serious chance. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Next time I'll skip the seasoning on the fries. It was a little sweet, almost like the seasoning included sugar. Not my taste. My wife had a Cheeseburger with onion rings. The onion rings were excellent. Now the burgers: they were awesome! The meat was a hefty patty, well seasoned and cooked fresh. Mine, with chilli was so yummy. Service was very good and fast. Plenty of room in the dining room. Good ambience for a burger spot. Kid and family friendly. I'll be going back regularly. And the price was very reasonable!

There are a lot of Yelp complaints about the Cracker Barrel at Bellmead…read more According to the voters, the quality of the food has gone dramatically down. My fried chicken dinner was completely fine. There was more fried chicken than I could possibly eat. More than I can possibly eat is always a good thing. * * * Is this A) dedicated Cracker Barrel traditionalists fuming after the attempt-to-change-the-logo fiasco? B) a local restaurant with a lousy manager who let things go to the bow-wows? C) a systemic decline in a the whole chain brought on by the same brain-out-to-lunch MBAs who had the change-the-logo idea in the first place? D) a global crisis in the supply chain based on an inability to get good biscuit flour from China? I suspect we can rule out Explanation D. But then I would have ruled out Cracker Barrel trying to change their logo as well. As for the other three explanations, I would have to eat a lot of Cracker Barrel meals at a lot of Cracker Barrel locations before I could answer that question with certainty. Not an awful prospect since Cracker Barrel meals tend to be pretty good. * * * That said, if you are really worried about some impending Cracker Barrel Crisis, Order Fried Chicken.

After seeing all of that, I had to try out Griffs for myself! I got the catfish, shrimp, fried okra and onion rings. It was so much food, I enjoyed the okra, onion rings and fish it all tasted great. I didn't really enjoy the hush puppies because they were deep fried a bit too hard for my liking, and the shrimp just didn't hit the spot for me, but it definitely had a nice crunch. I would definitely come back to try more

We visited Griff's this morning for breakfast, and it was a huge disappointment…read more My husband ordered the steak and eggs. The steak was rubbery--cooked on the outside but red and underdone in the middle. The hash browns were mostly burnt and inedible. The sausage was unevenly cooked--one side was brown, the other side was burnt and crispy. His eggs were just okay, and the drink was fine. I ordered the chicken fried chicken plate. The pancakes were two different sizes--one was burnt and left a bitter taste in my mouth for over 30 minutes. The chicken had no flavor at all and was soaked in greasy oil that tasted like it had been reused to fry fish and everything else. My eggs were inconsistent--one almost over hard, the other closer to over medium. What made it worse is that no one even asked how the food was. Normally, when we pay, they ask. I was waiting, because I was ready to be honest--it was disgusting. We won't be returning for breakfast if she is cooking. I've been here before and the food was good, but I don't know what happened today. Actually, I do--it was the cook. The food was nothing like what Griff's usually serves. -- Disappointed Customer 7/9/25

Ordering is really simple, from a large paper menu just circle the item's you'd like, that's it, that simple. And there's a reason their Waco's oldest steakhouse, the food is really good. This trip, our group ordered a couple Lonestar steaks, which is a 7 ounce Akaushi sirloin, with ranch style beans and a baked potato, chicken fried steak and chicken tender meal with fries. The steak was soo juicky and full of soo much flavor. And both the chicken fried steak and chicken tenders were cooked perfectly as well. Our server was very friendly and attentive. They have some cool wall hangings that are cool to look at. Come on in if you haven't yet, I'll be back the next time I'm passing through Waco again.
