Javier's Cafe — Restaurant in Ferris

We were on our way home and decided to eat somewhere different. The funny thing was we saw a billboard for a burger place and for some reason Javiers didn't pop up when we did our Google search. But as we drove by, we decided to look down town and that's how we found it.

We got there at 130 and they closed at 2 so we weren't sure with them closing so soon on a Sunday how it would go but figured we would give it a whirl and glad we did.

The service was excellent even though they were getting ready to close and I'm sure they were ready to go home. They took care of us no issues and we very attentive.

We got the chips and salsa and they were absolutely phenomenal. I'm assuming they are made in house but if they are bought I definitely need to know where to get them. If they make them as I suspect, they should bag them to sell and they will make a fortune.

We got the chicken fried steak and the chicken fried steak sandwich and both were excellent. They hit that hole cooked meal spot and you could tell it was all made fresh.

I wish we lived closer to them because this would be a go to spot for us, but we may have to make that drive...

My “grilled chicken” was an unseasoned piece of chicken jerky, measuring roughly 4 millimeters thick. Wtf? Is this a joke?

I also endured a side of flavorless mashed potatoes and canned beans nuked way too long in the microwave. They still burned when we got up to leave.

The upholstery on the chairs was stained and disgusting, and the table tops felt gross as well. No wonder they keep the lights down.

There was hardly any traffic during lunch, yet our waitress barely made her presence known - beyond giving us no time at all to decide what we wanted to order. It seemed like chatting in the back was a priority for the staff.

What a waste of a...

I thought I was sure that I had reviewed Javier's before, but I guess I didn't. Maybe I didn't want anyone else to know about it and make it crowded.

One of the best places for breakfast in the area. We go their 2-3 times per month. Their omelets are the best, bacon is very good, sausage is good, and I always get biscuits and gravy. You never have to tell them you bacon crispy and hashbrowns crisp. They make them just the way I like them.

Javier and Juanita run a great café. If you are in the area, I urge you to...
