Everything is good! Staff is wonderful and friendly! Highly recommend if you are in the area!

2 words: Southern. Hospitality. Such warm and welcoming service here. Exactly why you're looking for in a rural diner/cafe. Word of advice, get a burger. These burger patties are so juicy and tender my jalapeño cheeseburger was great, it would've been a nice touch is the jalapeños were warmed or grilled instead of just pickled, but still great burger. And the bacon was savory. Stop by if your passing through. read more

Great food in the middle of New Ulm. Hey, New Ulm is not very big, but if you happen to be in the area, Texas Star is a MUST VISIT. Huge burgers. Don't forget to substitute tater tots for the fries. They ran out of tots when they got to my order, but the fries are also very good. The chicken fried steak was very tasty. Be sure to add grilled onions. Wow, what an experience. Funny signs on the walls and very friendly waitstaff. read more

I love their breakfasts and their hamburgers. Both are delicious and neither break the bank. Friendly service is also a plus!

Nice drive from Sugarland to New Ulm. Specifically wanted to try this place so out we went. Cool little joint with BIG plates and tasty food. We split a double cheeseburger with bacon and glad we did. Barely got half of it down! Onion rings were terrific as well. Everyone else seemed to be really enjoying their meals. Great day trip location for weekend lunch! read more

Always a solid go-to when you can't decide, great food and even greater staff, I have been eating here for nearly 20 years now at least, pretty sure we just quit cooking for 1/2 of those years. They offer fantastic homestyle cooking, best chicken fried steak in this neck of the South, Great burgers and daily lunch specials so good you'd swear your grandma had to be in the kitchen.... someone's is! Just a cozy little place to grab a bite, get the daily New Ulm scoop and enjoy a break here in town. Stop on by, they'll treat ya right. read more

Wasn't impressed. Had a basic bacon cheeseburger. Way too many onions, the meat was plain and the bun was cold. It's fine if you're not looking for anything fancy. read more

Texas Star Cafe - Bacon cheeseburger and onion rings - New American Near Me - New Ulm, Texas

Food is at best mediocre and not inexpensive. I would have to be hungry to go back. They are open intermittently and obvious signage is lacking. It's a local hangout and the people are friendly. read more

Super cute cafe probably a locals place because you wouldn't even know it's there without a map. One little sign but great personality on this inside. We had a burger and hamburger steak. Both BIG servings and tasty. Will definitely stop again on our way through! read more

We stopped in for lunch at one of only two restaurant in the quaint little town of New Ulm. The Texas Star Cafe is only open for breakfast and lunch. Be sure to get here early as it can get crowded and they close a 2pm. I had a 1/2 lb specialty burger and rings. My burger was served on Texas toast, smothered in grilled onions, mushrooms and pepper jack cheese. It was great. I also tried the standard burger as well, it is served an a regular bun with lettuce and tomato. If you are craving a burger either one would be an excellent choice as they are both very good. My onion rings were cooked perfectly and not very greasy. If you prefer fries they have both steak and curly. A lot of people were ordering the chicken fried steak, I think it was the special. I am looking forward to try it the next time I'm at the Texas Star Cafe. Service was great, our waitress was friendly and checked on us several times. My fresh brewed unsweetened ice tea was always full. Truly a 5 star lunch. read more

Simple, good dinner food. Fast, inexpensive, courteous. Really just plain country cooking. I'll come back!

First time to visit here and I am really impressed. A very small town with a great place to eat. I had a cheeseburger and onion rings. The meat was very fresh and cooked perfectly. The onion rings were hand breaded and delicious. The iced tea was fresh and the server had a great additude and a constant smile. I liked this place so much yesterday that I'm back today to try the frog legs. read more

Great Food! Good home style cooking! Generous portions! All the locals eat here! Saddle blanket chicken fried steak! Burgers are homemade and HUGE. Owners are 2nd generation locals. Thirsty too? Beer and Wine is on menu. ALL AMERICAN ALL AROUND! Enjoy! read more

I believe this to be the only place to eat in the small town of New Ulm, TX (Pop. 152). Before this there was The Tavern which burned down I believe and The Parlor, which also burned down. Texas Star Cafe is made from barn tin so hopefully they'll be alright. The menu is very much like The Tavern's used to be, but they have traditional German lunch specials like sausage and sauerkraut which was very tasty. You will never go wrong when ordering chicken fried steak and gravy here. Also, the salad bar is typically fresh and above average. I usually eat lunch here and the waitstaff is always welcoming and friendly. The prices are fare and locals visit with one another across tables as it's not hard to know everyone in the town. I would recommend this spot to anyone passing through or looking for a local place for fine Southern cooking. read more

Good food! Local and friendly!! Kind of place where everyone knows your name!!! Waitresses Jessica and Heather are awesome!!!! read more

Great Texas small town cafe with a wonderful chicken fried steak. Very nice people and a great decor. I look forward to my next visit.

Service was wonderful. I had a regular burger and tried their sweet potato fries and the curly fries, and wow... it was all delicious. Great spot to have around read more

New Ulm doesn't have many restaurants (this was the only one I could find!), so Texas Star Cafe dealt with a big rush from the motorcycle rally that we were in town for. They had no problem getting everyone in and out quickly and didn't seem to mind all of the pirates invading their town. The service was very friendly, and the wait staff was attentive with our order and drinks without being intrusive. The food is the best you can expect from an old-time Southern diner. I had the large chicken fried steak with gravy, which was delicious. The fries were decent, and I had no need for the included salad bar so I can't rate that at all. Note that this place doubles as the local farm store, so you can get herbicides and food for your horse at the same counter where you order up a pie to take home. That was a little odd, but I'm sure the locals appreciate the convenience. When I find myself in New Ulm next year, I will be sure to stop here first. read more

Really good lunch! Onion rings are awesome and the biggest i've ever seen! lol You won't leave hungry.

Good breakfast and service. Love to eat here. They have one of the best servers there in the morning. She is always on it and never messes up. Good food so if your are in new ulm and want to eat somewhere this is a good place read more

How do you mess up a scrambled egg and grits? If you're looking for hot eggs and hot grits this is NOT the place. Sorry. Service was good. If you're serving food, shouldn't it be good and HOT? Especially breakfast. It's easy meal to fix. read more

Good home cooking. Daily lunch specials. I come here about every time I am here working.

Texas Star is a fantastic family owned business in lil old New Ulm, Tx.Their food is great but one item on the menu stands out their HAMBURGERS. Whoever votes the other place the best hamburgers in Austin county must of not stopped at Texas Star! They are consistently the best around. The meat patty must be at least half a pound or better plus at a affordable price. They serve terrific lunches every weekday and Saturday and won't hurt your budget. Give owners Wendy and Chad your business! You won't be disappointed! read more
