I grew up in Texas and ate at places just like this. Man the memories it brought back! The food is so good, The Heart Burger I would vote as the best, Chicken and Waffles made In The shape of Texas great look, sweet tea served in a tea pitcher’s loved it.

So glad we stopped here on our road trip back to Texas. Home style cooking . Had the lunch special chicken and dumplings, hubby had their huge hamburger. Tea comes in your own personal pitcher- just add the straw. Food was definitely home made. For desert had one of their many desert choices- chose the caramel apple dump cake since it's fall ya'll. Met the owner who is from Texas- and menu, friendliness, and atmosphere speak to that. Wish we lived closer- it would be a weekly visit.

What a wonderful place. My family has been here many times, and when I came into town from Minnesota, we brought 7 of us together. The waitress was wonderful, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxing and fun. Will make this a stop every time I'm in town.

After our cave tour, we had lunch at 5 Broke Girls. The food was very tasty and loved the iced tea . We did half sweet, half regular, and they served it in a small pitcher. We each got our own pitcher. Hubby ordered the Hamburger Steak. For his sides, he ordered fried okra, pinto beans, and cornbread. Cornbread was moist and slightly sweet, and the okra was fried just right. I ordered the Hart burger with everything on it with a side of fries. Burger was huge, and the fires were delicious.
