Immediately upon entering, our group of five was greeted and informed about their specials. I tried the half turkey and Swiss and soup of the day which was chicken and rice. Today was extremely cold so they weren't likely expecting a lot of foot traffic but they still delivered on the experience. It does take a little bit for the food but keep in mind it was one person doing it all. The food was delicious and everything was fresh. It is somewhat on the pricier side but the service and Ingredients make up for this. I would return if I pass this area again.

I get there and walk in, smells of musk. Sorry but dusting is a requirement if you're going to keep all those vintage knick knacks. Very small and full floor, it was hard to walk through just because everything was so close to each other. I walked out as soon as I saw the menu, $18 bucks for JUST the sandwich? No thank you, imma go to subway and get the whole combo for cheaper. Ridiculous pricing and sounds like for mediocre food

We started with Buffalo wings. Requested extra crispy. All wings and no drums. Did not disappoint. For entrees I went beef and husband went pork. The meat was undercooked for my taste so I would not order this dish again. Husband gave the pork a good review. We both enjoyed the seasonal veggie side. The hasbrown-like potato side I tried was very well done. We hope this becomes a place we can return to year after year when we visit the Clear Lake area.

Local here who visited for the first time for a birthday dinner. This place was okay, not great…read more Catarino was not very attentive, even though the place had 2 other tables when we arrived. We were having to flag them down for requests. The Hawaiian Mac n Cheese was described as both "Mac n Cheese with Carrots" and 'Mac and Cheese with Pineapple" by two different staff... it was macaroni salad. We asked for a pasta spoon and some Ketchup and Catarino sighed loudly and seemed inconvenienced or annoyed by the request. The Sweet Potato Fries had cinnamon and sugar on them, which sweet + sweet = saccharine, so they were not a side dish as much as they should have been a dessert. We gave feedback to Catarino about our meal, but they argued with us instead of just accepting the feedback. We left a 30% tip on a sizable tab despite the meal and service... We won't be back.

Cabin Coffee is a cozy little western-themed cafe, with a wide variety of breakfast foods, pastries, and baked goods. They have a decent coffee menu as well, with alternative milks such as oat, coconut and almond for an extra 85 cents. The staff was extremely nice, and patient with not only my toddler, but my mother who orders slower than the speed of molasses. I appreciated that our order took some time to pull together, as that typically means your food is being made fresh, not reheated from frozen like a well-known overpriced coffee shop that we are all familiar with. I ordered a classic vanilla late with oat milk, and The Sundance bfast burrito. My mom ordered a large mocha something, The Longhorn burrito, two chocolate scones and my daughter ordered a chocolate chip cookie. The 7 items were only $36! Shocked. The latte was a little sweet, and took me awhile to finish, so if you don't like sweet, definitely tell them to hold off on a pump or two of syrup. The burritos were a good size, and mine kept me full for the entire trip. My daughter loved her crunchy chocolate chip cookie as well. Great vibes all around, and pretty decent coffee.

The lunch special includes your choice of soup, you can get an egg roll or a crab Rangoon as well as fried rice with your main entrée we both ended up with the Kung Pao chicken because we love that and it was very tasty, full of crunchy veggies.
