Yall's Down Home Cafe - Round Rock

Mycomplaint is not being able to order extra cornbread, like dang I can't buy it?! 30 minutes wait on to go order and I can't get what I want! Lesson learned. I probably won't be back.

On Thursdays, they have an open face po-boy that truly is a work of art in the realm of sandwiches. I'm a po boy lover and I can tell you right now that that was by far without a doubt the best po-boy I've ever had in my life my girlfriend selected the chicken fried steak which was also absolutely fantastic. If you're looking for the kind of meal that leaves you sitting quiet at the table when you're done eating just smiling at each other and shaking your heads like good Lord that was amazing this is your place. To say they have good food is incorrect. Everything I have ever ordered here is absolutely fantastic. This is perhaps the best Eatery in Round Rock!!!

This was a surprise and boy are we glad the other restaurant had over an hour wait. Found this and cant wait to go back. The portions can easily be shared or enjoyed the next day. We enjoyed the catfish, meatloaf, and fried chicken tenders. The sides were amazing as were the desserts. All the staff were pleasant and have all been there awhile, which tells me they treat their employees well. Well worth a visit.

We were driving through from Canyon Lake to Ft Worth, I was looking online for someplace to eat near the freeway that was not fast food. I choose well. The restaurant was in a strip mall, normally I would have never chosen a restaurant in a strip mall by the freeway, but we were hungry and tired. It was Sunday afternoon right before the churches let out. We were seated immediately by a very friendly man who turned out to be our server. I wish I could remember his name, he deserves a shoutout. I ordered the sweet tea, the restaurant has a full bar too, the tea was as sweet as syrup, like my grandmother made it, delicious. My husband ordered grilled catfish, he loved it. My grandson got the chicken fingers, the online pictures are nothing like what he got. He got a huge chicken breast cut into strips, thoroughly breaded, perfectly seasoned and piping hot. He couldn’t wait to dig in. He can eat, but one giant chicken finger filled him up. I choose the chicken fried steak, my normal go to when I’m unsure about a new restaurant. I’ve had hundreds of chicken fried steak in my sixty years in dozens of places, including homemade. There are many ways this was the best chicken fried steak I’ve ever had. Huge, tenderized, perfectly breaded and seasoned. This was made in the kitchen: breaded in the kitchen and fried in a skillet in the kitchen. I managed to eat half of it…it was magnificent. That was last week. My husband just said, let’s take a road trip… I’m super busy next week, but now I’m going on a road trip. So, the service, this young man was so polite and helpful, always a step ahead, he knew I was loving the tea, because I drank several glasses of it. So when he brought the to go boxes he brought me tea to go. I’m surprised I didn’t need an insulin shot, but I did sleep all the way home. This is the real compliment: when my grandson got home to his parents, he made us give him his chicken fingers! lol, he was not leaving them with us! He is seven and he remembered. I’m not telling him we’re going back next week, he’ll want to come too. I don’t remember what it cost, but they don’t charge enough, whatever it was. I know we tipped less than 20.00$ at 20% gratuity. That was for three adult entries and tea, soda. Quite a bargain. I would bet that every thing on the menu is excellent, oh, and they have cobbler, so save room.

Great food but we ran out of water after 15 minutes and it was never refilled
