"On my first visit, I tried the Southern Shrimp and Grits, which were simply amazing—stone-ground cheese grits topped with sautéed shrimp, enhanced by a flavorful mix of peppers and bacon. Chef Jeff and his team use fresh sirloin in their chili, and it’s absolutely delicious! The portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. The food is exceptional, and the concept behind it is truly inspiring. I now volunteer here regularly. Chef Jeff and his wife, Julie, have a mission: "Our mission is to feed, educate, and serve our community so that they may 'taste and see that the Lord is good'” (Psalm 34:8). Customers can choose to: 1) pay what they can afford, 2) pay the standard price for a similar restaurant, or 3) pay a little extra to help those who are less fortunate. This creates a beautiful and fulfilling experience. They are open for lunch from 11 AM to 2 PM, Tuesday through Sunday. If you’re pressed for time, I recommend making a reservation and letting the hostess know. Diners are seated using a "paced method" to ensure the volunteer staff isn’t overwhelmed, but any wait is certainly worth it! Be sure to try the pour-over coffee or refreshing lemonade, and sample small plates like bruschetta or farro salad, as well as main dishes such as the apple bacon sandwich, crispy potatoes, burgers, shrimp and grits, and chili. And don’t overlook the dessert—it’s indulgent! I can’t express enough how much I adore this place!"

The food was excellent, and the service was fantastic. I really appreciate the community service initiative they have. You can choose your own price, but be generous! I would rate the food a perfect 5 out of 5.

The food was truly exceptional. We've already begun telling our coworkers, friends, and family about this hidden gem. The atmosphere was distinctive, and the entire experience was simply outstanding. I genuinely hope to find another reason to travel through Texas so I can visit again.

The breakfast was fantastic! Even though their website stated that reservations were necessary, I opted to walk in and only had to wait about 10 minutes for a spot at the community table. I would absolutely come back for lunch or dinner. The staff was very friendly, and the restaurant was clean and well-lit. View menu

This is my third visit, and I continue to be impressed by the quality of the food. The volunteer staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the Taste Project to anyone seeking an outstanding dining experience while also helping those in need. The atmosphere is open and bright, creating a warm and inviting interior. Even the tables and chairs are of excellent quality. I can’t recommend it enough!
Joshua
The owner and co-owner are truly remarkable individuals, as are their volunteers. They are ten times more kind and welcoming than most servers at typical restaurants where you would leave a tip. I've never come across anything quite like it. This experience reminds me that there are still good, compassionate people out there in a world that often seems lacking in kindness, where we witness so many struggling every day. Thank you so much for what you're doing! View menu

The staff and food at this restaurant are amazing! However, the parking could definitely be better as it's quite limited. On a positive note, the restaurant is very family-friendly. I love bringing my children and grandchildren; we all enjoy the tasty food and excellent service. I recommend making a reservation to ensure a speedy dining experience. They also have wheelchair-accessible tables, which is something many other places don’t offer. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for lunch!
