We got the chicken fried rice yesterday steak, it was delicious. We will definitely be back.

I got the chicken fried rib eye steak today and it was DELICIOUS! The sides were also! I didn’t get pie today because they didn’t have the sugar free one that I saw on menu online; i am diabetic. I hope they have it next time! My favorite pie is the Guy Pie, but they haven’t had it when I was there.

We went a couple weekends ago while we were in town. They have sooooooooo many pie options. I got the Chocolate toffee and it was amazing, best pie I've ever had! Lunch service was great - I got a sandwich and it was very good, I tried fried green tomatoes for the first time and they were amazing. To me they tasted like a cross between fried pickles and fried zucchini

Outstanding addition to the City. Good value, good food. The BLT and fries is likely the best value in town for a meal even compared to a burger fries from a fast food spot. Queso appetizer was awesome and for a non-steakhouse, the sirloin was fantastic.

I had a really good chicken fried steak with brown gravy mashed potatoes and green beans.

I ordered food to go, especially bleu cheese burger was amazing and it was huge! The rhubarb pie was so delicious and not too sweet. Waiter was extremely nice and helpful. Definitely going back.

We needed good places to eat and the Texan Cafe is a great fit. We have eaten there a few times, mostly successful. A couple things to know, first, they do not have the exact same food as their Hutto location and their specials that show up on their website as available in Taylor location are not necessarily accurate, call if you are going for something specific you’re craving. Their chicken and dumplings, catfish, shrimp, sides, Texas toast and onion rings were all fantastic and portions are to make sure you don’t leave hungry. If you’re craving liver and onions, think twice unless you prefer them well done and a bit on the tough side.

This place is a true gem. The fish was so good and filling. The chocolate silk pie was so delicious. The crust was flakey and it wasn't overly sweet- definitely an indulgence I will glad seek again.
