    Not worth the $. I spent $152 for 4 lunch meals with dessert. The portion size for the sandwiches was good, but you pay $20 for a salad that would be the side salad at other restaurants. The desserts weren't even good and they were really small. The carrot cake at Saltgrass Steakhouse is a million times better. It's just not worth the money.

    Dinner was amazing! My wife and I both had the filet mignon. She had the side salad wedge and I had the sweet potato soup without jalapeños.

    This place is amazing. Great food, pleasant relaxing atmosphere and improving service. Talk about farm to table. I'm pretty sure they actually make the table as well. First of all, what an amazing group of people. So down to earth, friendly and wholesome. We haven't been to the chocolate factory yet but the glass-blowing place, leather shop, wood working and all the other little shops are absolutely amazing. Luckily, they are about 10 minutes away from us. Absolutely worth a visit. This place gets insane busy so get a reservation or be ready for a bit of a wait. The bright side, we got to visit all those shots during our wait. EDIT: We just recently went to the Christmas concert and just wow. Beautiful music performed by amazing folks.

    The food was outstanding, and the service was even better. Get there early to avoid the line, but worth the wait.

    Walking into the Cafe you can tell it will be a special experience. I immediately wondered if the prices were going to be high. But I'm not sure you could find a better value anywhere else in Texas!The choice of food is good, the quality it great, and the flavor is simply fantastic. Everything was better than expected.The most important of all is the service. Not only did the young lady serve us well, she was friendly, helpful and made us feel truly welcome. It was like visiting family.We highly recommend Cafe Homestead.

    At first they sit 13 in a 10 person Booth. I thought this is going to be terrible. The neighbors left the table I told Mathew our waiter to give us the table to be comfortable he agreed. He saved the day my hero. Food was great.

    Loved everything we ordered! We got the chicken fried chicken, chicken salad sandwich, and bbq brisket sandwich. We were already stuffed but had to order the key lime pie! It was #tdf!!! It tasted so fresh, just the right amount of sweetness and tartness. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Will definitely come back and check out the activities!! Make sure to make a reservation, if possible!

    We had an excellent experience with fantastic food and a lovely server that just spread sunshine as she served us. This combination made for a wonderful lunch! We would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!

    Incredible. Amazing atmosphere, the waiters and waitresses are top-notch. Great experience! Longer wait times and higher prices, but you go for the experience, not fast food! The food was delicious and tasted homemade. Highly recommend!

    Finally I found a place where I got the trifecta of excellent service, fantastic food quality and great ambiance. Our server Brandon was polite, friendly and attentive. If you are old school, you’ll love it!

    Amazing!!! The restaurant is beyond gorgeous. The smash potatoes and their ranch, chef's kiss. I got the cheeseburger and my hubby the chicken fried steak and then we shared. Both were delicious. Unlike most places that do cf steak, this steak and breading was seasoned so well. Dessert is next!!! Come have some food and enjoy the craftsmanship all around you.
