Side Door Cafe - (Near Falfurrias, TX)

5 /5 David Simpson: You can taste the love that goes into this meal! Family owned for over 40 years, stepping into this cafe is like visiting your dear grandmas kitchen. What the decor lacks is made up in the taste and quality of the food! I will agree with other reviewers .. best tasting chicken fried steak...ever! Mashed and french fried taters were full of flavor and comfort. Welcoming service was genuine and not hurried.

1 /5 Venisa Earhart: NEVER AGAIN. I wish there was an option for zero stars on food since we never got ours. This is a tiny place that seems to only cater to the locals. Walked in (we are not locals but were recommended this place by a local). We drove in from Austin and when we walked in everyone turned and stared. Typical small town type behavior. No biggie. Young lady who came to take our order was very nice and polite. We were not given a menu but had seen one online so we ordered from there. We purposely did not have a big breakfast so we could be truly hungry when we got there. We waited for our food. And waited. AND WAITED. There were less than 20 people in that place. Including us. About an hour after we got there we asked if it was going to be much longer and the nice young lady went to check and told us that it would be “about another 10 minutes”. We told her to cancel our order. We went to pay for our teas (we should have gotten those for free because of the wait) and one of the “cooks” came out of the kitchen with attitude. She was rudely explaining that they make everything fresh when we order. I pointed out that we had ordered an hour ago. She rudely replied that we had arrived after another table and said that she was “sorry” we couldn’t wait because we would have loved it. We paid out $8 for two teas and walked out. I guess we’ll never know if we would’ve loved it because we will never go back. Headed to our go to spot in Falfurrias and we’re seated and served freshly cooked food in 15 minutes. We love to support small, locally owned places. Unfortunately, this won’t be one of them.

5 /5 Irma Armendariz: Food was amazing!! Service was great!! Loved the onion rings and chicken fried chicken!! Been returning for the same thing for years!!

4 /5 Don Anderson: Nothing better than good food, good service, and a good price. This family owned business checked all the boxes for me. My wife was pleased with her choice of Cheese Enchiladas (no onions) and I was happy with my Chicken Fried Steak.

4 /5 Juan L. Cano: Great tasting beef and cheese enchiladas with rice and beans. Their hot sauce IS hot! Really good
