DownHome Cafe — Restaurant in Canton

First off let me say that I like that this business is ran with Christian values and beliefs, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also enjoyed the Christian music playing on K-Love 94.9

That being said, the food is average and tastes just like any other "Country Cooking Cafe" out in the state of Texas. I had the Chicken Fried Chicken, Mashed Potatoes and Gravy, and Fries and it was all pretty bland and without a whole lot of flavor.

The food tasted fine but the portions were small, the biscuits were small and I think paying $13 for a very skimpy plate of bacon and eggs and a couple cups of coffee was a little high.
