Cafe Texan

I really wanted to like this restaurant. Very homey, cute atmosphere and nice staff. But we waited for about 30-40 minutes for a breakfast plate and a catfish plate. The pancakes were the highlight of the meal, light and fluffy. I was NOT impressed with the catfish “filets” meal for 8.99. Very small filets, the beans/rice was flavorless and the side salad wasn’t the best. That being said, still taking home the left overs because I ate my husband’s pancakes and only two of the catfish filet nuggets. Hopefully it was just an off day, because the staff did apologize several times about the wait. Maybe we will give it another try with something else on the menu.

This place used to be more homemade, from scratch, kind of foods. They don't make their own pies anymore and the food tastes sub-par, like it's bulk - bought from Sisco. It's not the same when I lived here 20 years ago. It is cheap, but I wouldn't mind paying more for quality and the nostalgia of this place.

Well attended local vintage type eating establishment. Large portions for breakfast but could use some improvement on quality but definitely not bad and willing to try again. Had breakfast there. I hear the catfish is very good but not available everyday. Service is very good. Older furnishings and decorations is the theme but eating areas and tables are kept nicely.

03/16/2019 I don't get to Huntsville very often but I typically look forward to eating at Cafe Texan but today I was DISAPPOINTED. Mom had Pancake, Bacon, and an Egg and was happy with her meal I had Chicken Fried Steak (regular), Side Salad w/French Dressing, Potato Salad, Pinto Beans, and asked for some Cornbread. Salad was a little small and the French Dressing was Very Thick & Very Sweet. All I could taste of the Potato Salad was the Mustard and the texture was just above mashed. Pinto Beans were average Canned Beans. The Chicken Fried Steak was above average but well below what I remember. I asked for Cornbread and received Rolls that looked house made but were Dense & Cold.
