if you havent stopped by william's confectionery you are MISSING OUT! breakfast! yum! lunches! yum! desserts YUMMMMM! service is always fast & friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]nice atmosphere and you can tell the "locals" treasure this spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] first time trying lunch (hard to pass up those light fluffy biscuits with breakfast - upgrade from toast for .50 last time i asked. thursday lunch had pork chops, smothered (and i think fried or grilled, i quit reading after SMOTHERED!) came with rice & gravy, greens and pineapple casserole. it was an insult to the chop for a knife to be provided. although this chop was huge, and thick, it was FORK tender! gravy was delicious too, not that gloppy dark brown stuff, but nicely textured, extremely tasty homemade sauce. greens - perfection. i wasnt sure about the pineapple casserole, it wasnt something i was familiar with. seemed to be a combo of pineapple chunks, shredded cheese with a crunchy topping. sounded like an unusual combo, but it was tasty. always fun to find something new. grabbed EXTRA greens to go with my leftover pork chop along with a raspberry bar & my fave chess pie for hubbie & i to share later. read more

We recently gave Williams a try after finding it through Yelp reviews while we were in the area. It may have been an off day, but I wanted to share an honest and balanced experience for others considering a visit. The positives first: the food was hot, fresh, and clearly made to order, which we always appreciate. The display case was filled with beautiful, tempting desserts that definitely caught our attention. If you have a sweet tooth, that alone might make the stop worthwhile. The breakfast menu leans toward classic, home-style staples--pancakes, hash browns, eggs, sausage--simple and familiar comfort food. While everything was prepared well, nothing particularly stood out or felt unique compared to other traditional breakfast spots. Service during our visit was a bit slow and didn't feel especially warm or attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff appeared to be family-run, which often adds charm to a place, but we didn't experience the kind of welcoming, lively atmosphere you might expect from a family-style restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It seemed like everyone may have just been having a long day. My husband usually prefers Tex-Mex or breakfast tacos, and since I don't indulge in bacon and eggs very often, I tend to look for a breakfast spot that really wows us when we do go that route. While Williams delivered solid, made-to-order food, it just didn't quite "hit it out of the park" for us this time. That said, every restaurant can have an off morning, and others may have a different experience--especially given the positive reviews that brought us in. read more

I was in the area and really wanted breakfast after an appointment. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance at Williams Confectionery is always great because the employees make you feel like family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was able to look at the menu with no pressure and ordered pancakes, an omelet with the works and a biscuit. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious as was the biscuit. The omelet was just ok. Overall, I enjoyed my breakfast and will definitely be back. read more

I visited this restaurant around half an hour before closing. I was also waiting for my friend to come join me. I was told by the lady at the counter to order and take it to go. I understand they need to go home on a Saturday. I decided to just order some baked goodies to go. I am very picky about pastries specially homemade ones. Yes it looks like they bake everything on site but why the need to use essences? I got a pound cake which is super moist baked to perfection! And then you bite into it you get the strong strong taste of fake almond essence! I realized this is one bakery that make things from scratch and actually is good! But why ruin it with the essence? That really disappointed me! If you are ok with this type of flavor profiles then the bakery is for you! It is fresh too! Sorry this wasn't really for me! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a small locally owned place that reminds me of the diners and bakeries from hallmark movies.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very lovingly decorated and the bakery case is right in the entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Self served refill station for tea and water. The meatloaf was delicious and the sides I picked were salad and beans. Both delicious and home made flavors. I'm sad I didn't order dessert but it's okay I'm going back. read more

I've been wanting to try this place and just happened to be in the neighborhood. I went up to the register and stated it was my first time there and the nice lady behind the register told me to have a seat and they will come take my order. As I'm sitting and waiting, a man comes in after me. One of the waitresses comes over to take a families' order then proceeds to go to the guy who came in after me. She takes his drink order. Brings his drink and proceeds to take his order. That's when I leave. I guess they won't be getting my business after all. read more

Man... Williams Confectionery Crafts done messed around and cooked me a plate straight outta my grandma's kitchen. I sat down thinking I was just gonna eat, but when that mac & cheese hit my fork? I almost called my mama to apologize for all the times I said her food was "just okay." The green beans tasted like they been simmering since Moses parted the Red Sea, squash and onions so tender they slid into my spirit, and that roll? Soft enough to wipe away your sins. And don't get me started on the fried chicken tenders--crispy like they just whispered "HalleluYah" when they came out the grease. This place ain't just serving food, it's serving therapy with a side of fries. If you leave here hungry, that's on you. read more

Food is consistently delicious. I typically eat breakfast there because the omelets are excellent and the stuffed biscuits wonderful. The sausage gravy is unbeatable. Can't go wrong at Williams! And if you have a sweet tooth, you won't be disappointed with the selection of cakes, cookies, cinnamon rolls , etc!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is so cozy and makes you feel like you're at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is very friendly and makes everyone feel welcomed. The food is delicious. One of my favorite dishes is the Chicken & Dumplings, served only on Tuesday. It is so comforting. The Breakfast Special is great - eggs, bacon or sausage, grits and toast. You can substitute the total for the large biscuit for an additional charge. It's worth it. The Loaded Biscuit is great, as well as the BBQ chicken and catfish, both served only on Friday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Cafe is small in size but serves comforting and delicious food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also, the dessert options at the bakery are plentiful and delicious. There are assorted cakes, cookies, pies, cobblers and brownies. Stop by and enjoy! read more

I saw Williams on Yelp while looking for some sweet treats. I stoped by and ordered a few treats, but left with a smile too; for free! The team were so friendly and made sure to make everyone feel welcome. Inside I learned that Williams is also a diner with a lot of seating. The food served here is just as good as the bakery items! Its so good that i went two days in a row! I ordered the same thing, but tried three other dished as well. I would love to go back and get a slice of pecan pie! read more

Had a really great breakfast here! We stopped in early on a Saturday morning while visiting from out of state.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Super cozy and at home feeling as soon as you walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm still dreaming about the potatoes and bacon, and the desserts were amazing too. Thank you again Miss Andrea and the Williams family.. Congratulations on 20 years! Definitely coming back next time we're in town read more

Oh. My. Goodness. I had a wonderful breakfast experience with Ms. Williams and her family. Everyone was welcoming and attentive, and somehow, this team performed magic on regular ole' morning dishes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Set up like many smaller family owned spaces, the ambiance is clean but nothing fancy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There were options to purchase local(?) art fares and t-shirts. Our food and service were superb. The hominy/grits were cooked and seasoned well. Our party of four each ordered differently styled eggs, which were appropriately prepared to our individual desires (such a small thing that is often not done well). Dem biscuits. These wonderful, daily made biscuits brought joy to my soul on first bite. I couldn't even contain myself long enough to add butter, honey, or a fruit spread before mine was devoured. I was feeling out of character and ordered a pork chop for breakfast. I misunderstood a question and thought I was ordering grilled vs. fried hashbrowns. I was a little disappointed when a non-fried pork chop was presented. Upon noticing my reaction, the regular who brought us stated, "I didn't know why you asked for that grilled." LET ME TELL YOU- this grilled delight was perfectly seasoned and cooked! The first bite changed my attitude. After easily slicing through with my butter knife, I asked one of the teammates who cooked this pork chop. She said, "Momma. Everything alright?" I then advised her to let Momma Williams know I owed her a hug before I left the premises. After sharing (a small bite) with the repeat patron, they declared it was even better than the expertly fried pork chops he'd enjoyed there in the past. In addition to dem biscuits, they have the audacity to taunt you with numerous baked goods at checkout. At least 15 different A1c challenging options were taunting us as we were just trying to pay our bill. Long story long, we happily spent just as much on the carry-out sweets as we did on breakfast! The chocolate cake, pineapple upside-down cake, key lime CAKE, chocolate cake, carrot cake, and hummingbird cake slices extended our joy over the next two days. I'm not sure why me and the folks who out here assigning 1-2 stars experienced such a different reality, but I will say thank you Lord and I'll be back next visit! Oh, and Momma Williams is an excellent hugger read more

Excellent homemade food. Be careful of the baked goods if you are watching your weight. I am glad that I live across town or I would frequent it too often. read more

I've been looking for a place with good food that never fails since I moved here in 2021. It's a little restaurant inside of a small strip mall. It's a little divey filled with black art and references, religious and spiritual decor. It feels like a welcoming place. The cases are filled with desserts of all kinds but don't be confused. Confectionery isn't all be served here. The breakfast is outstanding. Perfectly fried or grilled pork chop with eggs and the creamiest grits in the city. I'm told there are also omelets but the chips gave me in a chokehold. Apparently people like to gatekeep this place which is weird. Tell the people so it never closes. The construction over there is annoying but it's all over town. It's worth the drive and the headache. read more

Delicious home cooked food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very popular. Almost every table filled every time I was there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service a little slow but acceptable based on the volume of business.

22 Feb 2023 What a find! I feel we are late to the party. Came on the recommendation of a friend. He had bought me a cake for my BD several years ago - a 7-up cake that was delicious. We both had the loaded stuffed biscuit with gravy. $10 each. This is a deal because the biscuit is huge and stuffed with three meats, several cheeses, veggies, including spinach. Was freakin' delicious. Coffee is only $2 and quite tasty. You take care of your own refills at the coffee station. Sodas are only $1.50. Food and drink is honestly so inexpensive. Family run. All the members are so nice. God-fearing people. You can hear a sermon on the radio in the kitchen. Religious artifacts throughout the restaurant. We got a scone, brownie and cinnamon roll to go. Yum. Stay tuned. Go there. The restroom is lovely. Like in someone's home. read more

It was our first time here. The server from 2 Pocha recommended it and we've been wanting to give it a try. Me and my kids all got the Chicken Fried steak and a bunch of different desserts. I have to say... I have NEVER had Chicken Fried Steak like the one they serve. It's like eating in heaven! The food is divine! AND the sweets ... oh man ... I may gain some weight or have to work out extra hard just to have the treats!! Didn't have time for photos! It was so darned good I didn't wanna share. read more

Wooooowww there's nothing I could knock this place for honestly. Which is great! lol [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were greeted immediately when we walked in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is kind of small[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but my god the food was so good! My boyfriend got the b-fast plate and he loved his and the biscuit was criminally good . I got the chicken and waffles and I wasn't ready... the breading was soooo well seasoned and the breast was not dry what so ever. They give you two huge filets! My phone did not eat first today as I was excited but I got a picture of my second filet compared to my hand! lol The only thing was that I'm 99% sure they were short staffed because the same lady that was taking orders was also doing the to go orders and the register. But even short staffed they did not mess up our order! We're super satisfied and can't wait to com back! Deffffff check it out if you're wanting a good home cooked meal. read more

I absolutely love this place. The owner does the cooking made to order. On this visit I picked up a blackberry cobbler that I ordered 2 weeks ago.

Great comfort food, self serve coffee in the morning. We had been wanting to come back, had been a long time. Parking is a plenty, restaurant has plenty of seating indoors. Service was okay, kinda slow for not being busy, but that's just this place, they are always polite and played back. We love the decor, lot of inspirational decor. The biscuit we got had meat and veggies. The biscuit was good. The portion was okay, I'm used to larger portions, but we are getting to the point that sometimes we need a smaller portion. read more

Very welcoming with delicious patries and treats in showcases as you enter. Our party had pancakes, biscuits and gravy, a chicken salad sandwich and a cheese omlet. Each entree was delicious. The bisucuts were at least 3 inches high and super fluffy. The pancake stack was light and yummy. The chicken salad sandwich was so filling, my daughter could only eat half. Your choice of white gravy or sausage gravy ( naturally my friend choose sausage like any good Texan). I believe it was the owner who waited on us herself. It was like your grandma making sure you got the breakfast you wanted. Most likely her husband checked on us and cleared the table so we could relax and chat. We ordered a custom cake as we left - that impressed by the love and care that went into the baked goods! Nice neighborhood cafe that is worth a drive if needed. Totally forgot photos- but we will return soon and take care of some pictures! We felt blessed to eat here and could readily identify many other diners were "regulars." read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I freakin' love this place. It feels like going to your best friend's house to eat, and their mom loves you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It has become our go-to place for breakfast. They are open from 7-3, and serve breakfast all day. The omelet is large - I get bacon and cheese - and there is just a ton of bacon. Also - if you order toast here, we can't be friends. Ms Williams' biscuits are sooo good. My husband regularly has the loaded biscuit- and it's a heap of food. Pro tip - get the sausage gravy on it. They have alkalinized water, so if you get water it's good, and their tea is so clear and tasty!!! Ooh, I have also had the roast turkey sandwich - love that as well!! And no matter who waits on you, you feel like family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ms Williams has a great collection of crosses - very pretty, and they have art available for purchase as well![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10, highly recommend. read more
