    Steak and Eggs
    Martha G.

    I've always liked this place and usually leave happy, even though the portions aren't massive (which is fine by me if the quality is there). Unfortunately, this visit was a letdown. My chicken was small and extremely thin -- like paper-thin cutlet thin -- and it came out very dry and overcooked, with a burnt, almost charcoal-like taste. In the past, they've served a thicker, juicier piece that's flavorful and well-cooked, so this was a noticeable drop in quality. I'm hoping this was just an off day because they normally do much better, but it was disappointing compared to their usual standards. Half of my little chicken slice was inedible.

    The food is delicious. The staff is friendly. The dining room is clean and comfortable place to have a meal.

    Every time we go there is at least one item we ordered that isn't cooked correctly or is cold. This time it was my potatoes that were ice cold. Our server was awesome, friendly and quick to fix the issue. It's always busy on Sundays but we have never been made to wait for long. We keep coming back because the food is decent.

    Cute little cafe which is full of red truck paraphernalia. I ordered the cheesy shrimp and grits with a side of scrambled eggs which was delicious. However, the service was horrible. I notice that it improved when an older gentleman arrived and was behind the register. Perhaps the owner or a manager? Food five stars, Service 1 star.

    Finally stopped by Red Truck Cafe in Plano after driving past it every day on my way to work. After a weekend of crazy snow in Collin Co., it felt like the perfect spot to start our day. We ordered the Migas with chorizo and the steak and eggs. The steak was tender but could've used a little more flavor. The Migas were ok, not bad, but nothing that stood out. What really made the experience was the service, polite, attentive, but not intrusive. Early in the morning, before my first sip of coffee, that's exactly what I appreciate. Overall, a decent spot for breakfast with friendly service, though the food could use a little more seasoning.

    Third time in three weeks. Brought wife and daughter there. They loved their chicken fried steak and desserts.

    2pancakes and sausage

    It's a cozy and welcoming café. I wasn't very hungry--I just stopped by to feed my baby and enjoy a cup of coffee. The pancakes are fluffy and not overly sweet, and the portion size is just right. The sausage links were nicely cooked. The coffee is a bit mild, but it goes well with the food they serve. The interior has a red theme, with several red truck decorations and red paintings. Overall, it's a very cute café

    My second time sampling their fine cafe fare. This time I dined in. Craving a real meal I quickly eliminated the usual suspects when I remembered Red Truck. So,I jumped in my red truck and hauled over just in time to catch the Sunday special of pot roast potatoes and carrots along with chicken fried steak,mashed potatoes and black eyed peas. It did the trick. If you want " home cooking" without doing the work... Go!

    Mimosas!

    Perfect Sunday morning breakfast place. Big thick and fluffy pancakes and sausage were what I needed after working a night shift. Fun atmosphere and wonderful service. Great prices as well! Will come back!

    This place is a hidden gem when it comes to the decor and ambience. It feels super diner and dive-y inside which was very cute. There are red trucks everywhere and they were playing bingo on one side of the restaurant. Unfortunately the food was very mediocre at most and the service was super slow, too. We got the chicken fried steak, chicken salad sandwich, liver & onions, and chocolate cream pie. The food was all just ok. Nothing was super memorable or amazing. It was more comparable to Denny's or IHOP at most I would say.. and we were hungry, too. The one good things was the broccoli casserole. It was really really good. The mashed potatoes were blah and the mac and cheese was the worst I have ever had at a restaurant. The prices weren't particularly cheap either. Parking is plentiful.

    Really good chicken, fried steak, excellent okra and good tasting eggs
    Beth H.

    I'm a big chicken fried steak fan. In fact I order it in any state in the US that I'm eating. The steak was well seasoned but not quite as crispy as I would like it next time I will order it extra crispy, but I can't deny this chicken fried steak is sometimes they don't have much flavor and this one is super well seasoned. Okra is a 10 out of 10 and their eggs are tasty and fresh iced tea is got good bite to it. I had the pleasure of having Casey serve me today. She is a doll. Lastly, the price is right and the place is immaculate, bright and well appointed. I will definitely have breakfast here tomorrow morning while I'm here in business

    Red Truck Cafe has a very homey and country town feel to it. We came in early in the morning and greeted by a nice and conversational waitress. There is a huge selection of menu items. The food was not mind blowing but filled me up for a good while. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Blackened Shrimp Cheese Grits
    Krista G.

    Both meals were a solid 4 stars. We went on a weekday for lunch and they still had quite a crowd. The restaurant is overly decorated for Christmas so it was very festive inside. We ordered the smothered steak with fried okra and French fries and the Shrimp and grits. The shrimp was seasoned and cooked well but the grits were lack luster. The serving sizes are plentiful so I had enough to take home for another meal. This is a solid choice for breakfast or lunch/dinner. We will be back.

Some feedback from my other party members: - The chocolate milk barely tasted of chocolate and was almost $6 (not worth) - cinnamon roll pancakes were good but very very sweet - the smores french toast tasted mostly of chocolate and had Oreos (?) I overall also enjoyed the creative variety of the menu. We would return

I asked the hostess to have the area cleaned so that my family and I can sit down and enjoy our meal. We ordered corned beef hash skillet with pancakes, south border skillet, biscuits gravy with eggs and pancakes. The corned beef hash skillet gets a high mark. The south border skillet was average. The biscuits gravy with eggs and pancakes were cold and it gets a low mark. If we decide to eat at Honey Berry in the future, it will be the Frankford Rd location.

It was pretty light but fun to try. We then saw our friends sharing a frozen margarita that looked too good to pass up so we ordered one too. I cannot believe they are only $10 because they are huge and definitely meant for sharing. They have a few flavors to choose from and I do not remember which one we got but it was good and strong in the best way. It sneaks up on you. No brain freeze either which was a bonus and it put us in a great mood for the rest of the night.

The three servers working were standing at the front counter talking away with each other our server, at one point, was talking on her cell phone. The food quality has gone down in recent months. Eggs were nice & hot, hash browns were cold, bacon had been good in the past, but our past two visits the bacon has tasted burnt & it has an odd flavor. Toast was over cooked, not buttered, it was not edible. The last time our coffee was refilled was by a man that looked like he had just come out of the kitchen. He was very nice & we were grateful that our coffee was being refilled without having to get up and ask for it. The servers were still lolly gagging behind the counter while the gentleman was refilling our coffee. I have worked in the restaurant business from being a server & also in management. I am very understanding of all angles of what is going on in a restaurant setting. The service on Saturday was the worst service I have ever experienced.
