"Down home cooking in Hutto. My boyfriend is about as country boy as they come and he had a hankerin' for some liver and onions and I do love me some chicken fried steak! We headed out to Texan Cafe and got both our needs met. As someone who grew up in the city, I was not really exposed to organ meats, but I do remember my mom having to eat liver and onions for iron when she was pregnant with my sister. I remember thinking it looked gross and when I tried it, it was confirmed. I will say, however, when the server brought out my guy's plate, I thought, now that actually looks good! I tried it and initially liked the taste, but after a few chews, that distinctive texture and taste came through. I still don't love it, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I remembered. Kelly thought it was better than his Aunt Edna's. High praise, indeed. As for my chicken fried steak, it was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was the best I've had, but it was flavorful and tender. The macaroni and cheese was cafeteria style, not how I, or anyone I know makes it, but reminded me of how the school cafeteria made it. The okra was perfect and crunchy and not slimy. On Kelly's plate, the green beans looked to be the canned variety, which he loves, but I hate. The best part was the pie!! They have about two dozen made fresh pies to choose from and we had the skillet apple pie, served hot on a cast iron skillet with a brandy caramel and a large scoop after frozen solid ice cream which melts a little slower than normally ice cream temp. It was AMAZING! Worth the trip and the uncomfortable fullness we felt afterward. We will be back again!"

"Drive by this little restaurant all the time and finally stopped in. I love Filipino food and ate it all the time in Hawaii and Seattle. This restaurant has dine-in and drive through. Nice and clean with comfortable seating. Fun decor! The food was ok and it came out quick and hot. We had the lumpis appetizer, the Curry, and Pork Adobo. The rice was a little mushy and unfortunately the lumpia were on the burnt side. The filling was so ground up that we couldn't discern the different flavors. However, the curry was very tasty and in both dishes, the portions were great with a lot of meat. I am going to give it another try and hope that the things come out better."

"EDITED:2-10-22 Not everyone likes jalapeño Ranch! Must also offer normal ranch. Even if from tartaric acid sauce please inform the customer before they order catfish. They brought me my cat and then informed me about no tartaric acid sauce. I can't eat without fish. So I rushed and chose the club sandwich. That wasn't what I expected as a clubsand. 1. Review: We have placed an order for collection. So the fish wasn't really crispy. But that's okay, I was about 5 minutes late to pick up our order. When I had the cats in the restaurant, it was crispy. Nice size serving. Like they have pages, unlike Texan Cafe to offer. For some reason, if you want a good choice of the pages, you better come here because you don't find, but maybe 3 pages in the Texan Cafe. My husband didn't care about the meat. It looked like it had been frozen and then his piece was cut and thrown on a grill to heat up for a bit. He loves meat and was not impressed by what he got. But my husband enjoys breakfast and other plates from the Hippo Cafe. A bad record won't turn us away and it doesn't deserve a bad review. You have several cakes for the desert. It's about good food."

"Dined in on a weekday in the morning and was utterly disappointed. They appeared to be the establishment that locals would go to with good food and great service but boy was I wrong. Got the steak and eggs along with the country friend steak both with sunny side up eggs and hash-browns and an extra side of bacon. The sorry excuse for an 8oz prime rib steak was so raw I could faintly hear it mooing at me. The country fried steak was tough all the way through and absolutely drenched in their gravy that was disgustingly watery, I get that there’s different styles of gravy but holy moly it was nasty and lacking any flavor. The hash-browns on both plates were cooked on one side and raw/cold on the other, eggs had some green garnish that was completely unnecessary and on top of that they were runny. Lastly the bacon was almost $5 for 3 strips and clearly microwaved. The server was informed of all the issues but didn’t care and supposedly told the chef , the server left for a few minutes and came back with a bill totaling almost $70 which was ridiculous after the issues that were had you’d at least expect a discount of some sort on the steak that was completely inedible. Every bit of each meal lacked any sort of seasoning and had something wrong with it. The people who eat here must be delusional or maybe the chef was having a rough start the day. Either way my experience was horrible and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to come here unless you like cold and overpriced “food”."

"My wife and I visited Marios Mexican Restaurant for breakfast. I ordered migas rancheros, while my wife opted for the omelette Mexicana. Unfortunately, both dishes left us disappointed; the food was overly heavy and greasy. The taste was so overwhelming that I couldn't even finish my meal. A less than satisfying experience overall."
