Improved service and has always served terrific comfort food. Serves excellent pies, as well.

Always a good meal here. If you're into home cooking with a skilled cook, this is your place. I've eaten here many times and never disappointed. The service is very cordial and the staff are always friendly. read more

Chicken Fried Steak was amazing! Don't even get me started on their amazing pies...service was very helpful and friendly

Dinner was so good, we came back for breakfast! I tell you, went camping at Lake Whitney State Park and arrived kinda late-ish after dark but weather did not lend itself to outdoor cooking. Sought a local place to fill our belies and found this little gem. Had their fried fish and shrimp special for dinner. Their portions were generous and fish and shrimp super crunchy while still flavorful - the best of both worlds, really. The next morning, after still thinking about our dinner, decided to skip making breakfast ourselves and went back to this cafe and try their options we saw on the menu the previous night. Boy, glad we did. Again, their portions were generous and food equally as delicious. The wife had the Lone Star Haystack and I had the pork chop and eggs. What can i tell you? We both loved our meals. Everything was great! And let me tell you, this is one of the friendliest places around. Service was awesome and all their staff is great. DO NOT skip this place if you're in the area! read more

The food is just ok.. the staff is super friendly. Don't go in wanting a steak, pretty sure we heard the staff say steak has only actually been available 2 different times... didn't try the pies, but they looked good. Probably worth a visit if you're into mostly fried food. read more

The service was very good, but they their food wasn't the best thing in the world. It was still good though. The ambulance was good and everyone was kind and nice. read more

Texas Great Country Cafe - The peach cobbler was amazing! - Southern Near Me - Whitney, Texas

Food is delicious,servers are friendly and knowledgeable. It's a really cute cafe and is very clean. The pies are to die for!

Great food in a small town. Friendly waitstaff, and you may learn some fun facts about Texas.

Don't come on a holiday. Seated quickly but took an hour to get food. Server checked on us twice. No updates on time frame. For small town cafe food was disappointing today. Normally food is ok. Home cooking is a lil bland but good. The kitchen cannot keep up with the huge crowd. Two tables came in after us. Both got food before us. That's disappointing. Eat before you hit Whitney if it's a holiday folks. read more

Texas Great Country Cafe - . It's breakfast cold. I ask extra crispy hash and for mush. Eggs. Cold. Sausage. - Southern Near Me - Whitney, Texas

Great place for home cooked meals in Whitney. Our favorite is their breakfast. Staff is always so nice.

Fantastic place to eat. Owners super nice, and some of the best restaurant staff ive had the pleasure to be served by.

This is the classic small-town cafe. The servers know most of their customers, and the food is simple. Currently charging a surcharge for credit cards and for egg dishes. read more

This place was good but not the best home cooking we have had. The service was awesome I just think I should have ordered lunch or dinner meal instead of a breakfast burrito. After I ordered I saw others getting their food and started wishing I ordered something else. I would definitely return but would try a different item from the menu. read more

Positive, friendly service. Inviting atmosphere. And the food, well it was amazing. We cleaned our plates. He had the chicken fried steak, it was a large potion and he said it was delicious. I had the breakfast option of eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns. It was also very good. Too full for dessert, so we got it to go. Yummy buttermilk pie and cheesecake. We will definitely be stopping back here again next trip through. Forgot a picture. It was so good there was nothing left. read more

Three words: Pie Pie Pie Pecan, Key lime, lemon, chocolate pecan, coconut cream, apple crumble... I'm sure there's more depending on the day. read more

Took a trip through here to grab some plants. Stopped in because a few socials had some decent reviews. This is a very small town and I believe this may be the only cafe around. I could be wrong. On first appearances walking in it seems very small. Tho to your left there was 2 other sitting areas, seating was fairly quick. It's country, designed so, it's a small country town full of ranchers and country folk, there were what seemed the occasional lake goers. Staff was friendly. It was super busy, after church rush, food took a while to get to us. Tho in all fairness, we also took a while looking at the menu. Menu is American traditional country food. Cafe burgers, breakfasts, steaks, catfish, etc. Wife and I had the Hog Burger (bacon cheeseburger) and the Bodacious Burger (double Pattie's with bacon and bbq sauce). Both were really good. Good flavoring. The friends fries were crispy. Wife believes they were blanched. The pies, they have a big menu of pies and cakes, but be forewarned, they make them daily so if you go later, the choices will dwindle down. The key lime was great. Didn't have the green coloring like you'd normally see. Doesn't need it really. Wife had the Chocolate Meringue pie. It was good, but the chocolate was super rich. Overall, really good fare. Worth a stop. read more

i love their chocolate pies.. and i am thankful for the hometown quality i love their desserts and sweet tea

Simply put - we're thankful for this great place in Whitney, TX. We order 8 pies yearly for Thanksgiving at our lake home and they never disappoint. We also enjoy eating onsite almost every visit to the area. Love the staff and consistent quality. Keep up the great work. See y'all again soon! read more

Oh my! Customer service was terrible! The pies in the case looked days old. The older woman at the front counter acted like we were a huge inconvenience, and she was overwhelmed by a takeout order. They had very limited drink selection as well. They were out of many items. We were visiting and will NEVER go back. Oh and adding lettuce and tomato to a kid's burger is also a major problem too. Today was my daughter's birthday, and we were hoping to find a great place to celebrate. Boy were we wrong! read more

Our first time here and it was amazing. We got the chuck wagon, and the chicken fried steak and chicken fried chicken was delicious. Sides were family style and we had enough to have lunch tomorrow. Best part was the chocolate cake!! We will be back! read more

I came to Texas Great Country Cafe because of the great reviews. So I had the Chicken Fried Steak with Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans. Mashed potatoes were good, green beans were good, Chicken Fried steak was as tough as they come. Batter was good, but the meat was anything but tender. If they had run the meat thru a meat tenderizer just a few more times, it may have been better. While I really liked the gravy, the steak was just a bit tough. Had a piece of Chocolate Pie that was also very good. l would come here again, but would order something different. read more

We visited this cafe after five days of camping at Lake Whitney State Park. We were all packed up and ready to travel home but needed lunch before getting on the road. I searched on Yelp and this was the first restaurant that came up. It had great reviews so we thought, why not?! I'm really glad that we did because we had a wonderful experience. When we walked in we were greeted and seated immediately. Our waitress, Rachel, was super nice. She took our drink order and left us the go over the menu. They had plenty to choose from as well as several lunch specials. I decided on the Chicken Fried Steak lunch special and my husband chose the Bodacious BBQ Burger with Onion Rings. We also had our children with us. One of them order cheese sticks with marinara from the appetizer menu. The second one chose Chicken Bites with French Fries from the children's selection. Our oldest daughter chose the Patty Melt and Homemade Chips from the regular menu. We were all very pleased with our food. It came out very quickly and everything was hot! My Chicken Fried Steak Special came with two sides and cornbread or rolls. I chose fried squash and mashed potatoes with cream gravy. Just a side note, their sides change daily so you have to ask your waitress what they are because they do not list them on the menu. When she asked if I would like cornbread or rolls I told her I would like one of each and she was more than happy to do that. My steak was very good! Hand battered and tender. Both sides were very nice as well. My only issue was that the cornbread, that happened to be in the shape of Texas, was a little dry. Other than that everything was great! Before we left all my kids decided that we definitely need to come here again the next time we are traveling through Whitney! If the kids approve you know it's gotta be good! read more

We just had salads and pie, but the pie alone is worth a review! Nice place, the kind with solid tables and old style country playing. Cheerful and friendly staff will ensure you don't leave hungry. Did I mention the pie? OMG read more

Love this place! Best breakfast served all day long. The breakfast burritos are huge and to die for

Great breakfast. Liz, our waitress made us feel welcome! Great service, great food! Homey atmosphere.

I stopped here on my way home from a road trip. The chicken fried steak was awesome. Nice crispy batter, steak was tender. My husband had the fried catfish, he gave me a tiny bite, it tasted clean and the batter was cornmeal, very delicious. Also, best green beans...ever. No pictures, but we had desserts. Me-coconut pie, husband- chocolate pie. Best pies we have had in a very long time. Homemade!!! read more
