Great place to eat

Dec 2020 • none

This is a hidden gem, we had the chicken fried steak and fried pork chops. They serve home made mash potato's and delicious homemade cakes and pies, The staff is super courteous and funny. Elizabeth was our waitress and she was amazing! If you get to Whitney Texas you have to stop for a bite rather it is coffee and pie or lunch or dinner, also serves breakfast. If we ever get thru Whitney again it is a must!

Great Small Town Restaurant

Jul 2020 • family

My family and In-Laws stopped in for lunch yesterday while on our mini vacation. It was our first time to eat here and we can’t wait until our next trip to Lake Whitney. We will definitely be dining at Texas Great Country Cafe and Pie Company. All nine of us had something different on the menu, and we all enjoyed it. The food was fresh and made from scratch. We had awesome service from Derek! It was hands down one of the best places we’ve dined at in some time with the best service. Our family highly recommends this restaurant!!!

Tanir the great!

Sep 2020 • business

Tanir made the visit! He was funny and made our food happen. It is so simple, but finding a spinach, chicken, cheese and ranch salad is not that easy to come by. He was super accommodating and made the memorable.

Worst Breakfast

Sep 2020 • couples

We have been going to The Cafe for several years and have even recommended it to several people. Unfortunately the last few few times we have been there we have noticed a decline in the food. Today was the worst. We stopped in on a Thursday around 2 and decided we both wanted a breakfast. My husband ordered the grilled pork chop breakfast with medium eggs and hash browns, and I ordered the Starving Marvin with scrambled eggs with cheese and hash browns. After an excessive wait my husband’s breakfast came out with hard eggs and burnt potatoes and mine came out with burnt potatoes, they put cheese on top of the potatoes instead of in the eggs. The waitress caught their mistake and they just threw extra cheese on top of the eggs. Totally inexcusable to ruin an order like that. If you think about it a breakfast should be the easiest thing any restaurant could make. Going forward we will not be going back nor will they be getting any recommendations, there are plenty restaurants that can do a far better than what we were served. The only reason they got 2 stars is because we can’t blame the server.

Worst coffee ever!

Apr 2021 • couples

Got there at 11:00 AM Sunday. Starting to fill up. We ordered coffee with cream before our friends arrived.We were informed we would have to buy a bottle of milk as they only had the chemical substitute! Our friends arrived and ordered coffee. Our milk still not delivered. Finally, when the bottle of milk arrived, the coffee was cold. Not only that, it tasted like "dirty sock" coffee--- so bad that it must've been left over from the previous night! The pinto beans were completely tasteless. I tried adding salsa, salt and pepper to no avail! The rest of the meal was passable. The coffee never got hot! The waitstaff did all wear masks. I blame poor management!

Great Cafe

Feb 2020 • none

I am a local and dine at the Cafe from time to time and find it to be one of the best restaurants, if not the best, in Hill county. Their food is always excellent and they provide great service. Be sure to stop here if you happen to be traveling through Whitney, Texas. 76692 Forrest

Breakfast was disappointing

Sep 2022 • couples

After reading the reviews, my husband and I were looking forward to have breakfast here as well as a piece of pie. We both ordered a basic breakfast, my husband had pancakes and I got hashbrowns. The pancakes were so tough that they had to be cut with a knife. The hashbrowns were overcooked and very crunchy/dry. The scrambled eggs were bland. The bacon and Texas toast were the two most edible things. The pies looked like they had been sitting in the case for too long. My husband got a bad belly ache on the way home and we both agreed that we’d never eat there again. A very disappointing visit.

Home cooking

They were so sweet, we had Ellie as our waitress and we walked in 2 minutes before close not knowing it closed at 8. Apple Maps said 9pm! We told them we could leave and they said it was perfectly fine, they just placed a food order for the people in front of us. We just moved to town and wanted to try this place it was great food and great customer service! Definitely recommend this to anyone especially if you are on the lake that day!!

Solid breakfast!

Jan 2023 • couples

Decided to try the Ham and cheese omelette with a biscuit. The omelette was good but would have liked having a bit more ham and cheese. Added sausage gravy to the biscuit. This was a good call for sure - really upped the game. The meal also came with grits. The grits were plain but well prepared.

My son asked to leave a review. Here are his words- The waitress (Jen w/butterfly tattoos) was very nice, the catfish was THE BEST. The tea was so good that I drank 3 glasses and the waitress always kept it full.

First time dinner

10/21/21 - wife and I plus another couple had breakfast here. Can't say enough about the hospitality - just good old southern greatness. Place was clean, food was excellent, service was great and pricing was on par with quality of food. Pancakes were light and fluffy.

Great place to eat!!

Jul 2022 • couples

This was our second time trying this place, making sure the first time wasn't a fluke. Wow it was it great again. We both tried something different and again were extremely pleased. My Texas cheese steak sandwich was excellent and my wife's club was perfect. The onion rings were awesome! Waited for the chocolate pie and wasn't disappointed. Well worth the stop.
