"Lived here 5 years... decided to turn off the road and pickup lunch on the wY back to Longview. Classic East Texas cooking! Prepared well. Served hot. Small dining room. And I got what might be simply called... Texas Cheese Cake. Thanks for the memory! Ya'll Come Back!"

"We were in town while on a little cabin getaway from San Antonio. This place is a small town cute diner atmosphere with smiling friendly servers and DELICIOUS food. It was a little busy on a Monday at 11am so we had to wait a few minutes for a table. We were a party of 6 and our orders came out perfectly seasoned and cooked. They were even able to accommodate my 4 yr old's ridiculous request to make a Mickey Mouse waffle with whipped cream and blueberries on the side. You can see from the pictures he was absolutely over-the-moon excited when it came out and definitely a great memory made from our trip. I ordered a veggie omelette with ham and it was seriously the best omelette I've ever had. Hashbrowns were perfectly seasoned and crispy too, just how I like them...so good! Praise and props to the small town diner cooks here and all the sweet and patient servers we interacted with. You will NOT be disappointed if you stop in to get a bite to eat here! Thank you Y'all Come Back Cafe!"
