The Texas Cafe — Restaurant in Longview

Not impressed. The food was OK but nothing special. Appearance is that the manager or managers or owners, whoever runs the place, may have never been in the restaurant business before or has limited experience. The front door would not close all the way and because of that there were tons of flies all over the place. Staff was dressed sloppy. They need to have a dress code and enforce it. It can make a huge difference. I have nothing against jewelry, but way too many of the females and one person I think was a male, were sporting nose rings. Restaurant employees should not wear them in my humble opinion. The ambience was not very good. Did not get a good vibe from this place. It was a Sunday so they close at 3 o’clock, but started pulling out all the booths at around 2 o’clock and cleaning all around them. They were pulling the booths into the middle of the floor and were really making a big production out of cleaning.They really should wait for all the customers to finish eating, pay their tickets and leave before they start tearing the place down to clean. I have a background in food service as a manager, area director, regional Director, and regional vice president of operations for a large restaurant chain… I only say that to qualify my comments. Place has a lot of potential, but I would start...

Tried this recently opened new place. Service was good. Unfortunately the dishes still need work for basic things. Chicken parmesan was plain chicken patties, no cheese, and flavor was blend. Cook said he would fix it after I brought it to their attention. Well dish went to worse, cheese was sprinkled on and some marinara cream sauce was put on. Taste was not good leave it at that. Returned meal didn't even attempt to ear after first bite.

Decided to try highly recommended jalapeño cheese burger. Well it comes with meat cheese, raw jalapeño slices, grilled onions, buns and that's it. No tomatoes, no lettuce. Fries on the side. It was a $15+ dollar burger. Not worth it.

Hope they change up food options and improve quickly. Staff tried there best to make...

Walking into this warm atmosphere where everyone seemed happy about their food choices was an experience I want again, and again lol. Looking at menu seems over-whelming, but their grand selection of breakfast/lunch choices gave me optimism for a great tasting breakfast/lunch.

I ordered the Chicken skillet which came with grilled chicken, black beans, bell peppers, avacado, cilantro, which sat on top of hashbrowns and over medium eggs. It was very tasteful, the chicken was perfectly seasoned (I’m not much of a fan of salty foods) for me, and the mix of the ingredients made me happy and hungrier every bite!

Me and family loved the food we ordered, and we expect to...
