Everything I have ever eaten here has been awesome! My favorite at breakfast is the Carne Guisada Omelet. The best waiter ever is Mike.
Yesinia and Natalie are awesome and the food was very good! Would highly recommend this place and we will go back in the future. Great service and good food in Manor, Texas.
I have eaten here for twenty years and it is absolutely the best Cafe in the Austin area.
If you leave this cafe hungry it's your own fault! Portions are sizable, prices are reasonable and the staff is outstanding! Go get some good food folks!!!
Everything is delicious and worth the prices. Friendly staff and fast service.

We eat here all the time. Food and service is awesome. Stopped today for breakfast on our way to Central Texas Speedway to go racing - Jack & his staff were awesome! If you've never stopped here you're missing out on some great food! Tell them all of us at Jake Wright Motorsports sent you!
There chicken fried steak is great!!! Would really recommend trying them!!
Great place to eat and it has great staff good food.
We are from Indiana (lived in Pflugerville at one time) and Cafe 290 is a must make stop when we are in the Austin, TX area. No one beats their fried green tomatoes and homemade pies! Have never had anything we didn't like. Good, fast service.
I have only had their Cobb salad and Cheese burgers. They are delicious and great portions.
Michael, is Awesome!
If you all go there to dine, ask to be served by, Michael.
Great breakfast and friendly staff!! First visit and will be back.
I've been eating here since I was 5 years old and I'm 47! I'll be eating here until I'm 105! But I really miss the fried mushrooms
Great food. Our first time and we will be back. Homemade, so it takes a little longer. Curt took good care of us.

Okay, if you like chicken fried steak then you've got to try the one at Cafe 290. It's thin, perfectly tender, lightly battered, not greasy or gristly, and the batter sticks to the steak perfectly. In a dream world, I'd make it (and the gravy) a little more flavorful but I'd still be happy to eat it again and again as-is. Everything is made from scratch, including the delicious buttermilk pie I had for dessert. I've also had a take-out burger from here that was great. So it seems like you can't go wrong! And anytime I find myself in this neck of the woods, I'll definitely be back!
The food was delicious! Chicken friend chicken and the friend chicken sandwich were yummy!
But!!! The dessert... the home made, from scratch dessert... Oh My Gaaawd!!! We had the carrot cake and cherry cheesecake.
Great food even better customer service. Ive been here twice now once for breakfast and finally dinner.
I had the catfish plate, was very good. Hubby got chicken fried steak was huge and delicious. We will be back. Burrito was fabulous.
I had not been here in years. I was impressed with how much the food quality and staff had improved. The service was quick and friendly. The food was hot and delicious. I may have to make this a regular place again. The chicken and waffle was delicious and filling. The atmosphere felt familiar and inviting. This place is a old-fashioned diner with quite the menu selection.
Well gawwwwdang! Café 290 is doing it right! I have to be completely honest and say the very first thing I saw on the menu, I ordered. Having had a night of drinking the night before, a Fried Green Tomatoe BLT with fries and a chocolate milkshake was exactly what I needed. Annnndddd MAN WAS IT GOOD! Fresh. Nicely grilled Texas toast. The right amount of bacon. Whoever is cooking in the back knows what they're doing. We definitely had to try some pie sssooooo slices of coconut cream and chocolate ice box came back to Houston with us. Thanks to the friendly staff and great kitchen crew hooking it up! Y'all rock🤘🙌🏼
