Family owned business is so much better than a chained restaurant and the reason why is , the love put into cooking is better than anything . The service is always gonna be better because you can actually get it your way which is the right way (these people understand the difference). Try the breakfast , lunch and don't forget the Friday night fish fry , I promise you will love it . Dream

Best Breakfast within 200 miles. Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Hash Browns are the benchmark that all others strive for but few achieve. Pancakes and Waffles are Awesome, too. Biscuits are BETTER than Your Mama's. I always ask for real butter to top it off.

This place is small and amazing. Right now, sitting in the Café and it's simple yet elegant. The waitress who took my order is cooking my food as well. Friendly staff, plus semi parking. All in all, I can't complain. Definitely marking this stop as a favorite. If you're through this way, stop in and bring an appetite.

In my opinion, the best burger's, chicken fried steaks, catfish, onion rings and fries are prepared and served at the Woodlawn Cafe'. All my husband ever gets is the BLT on wheat. He swears it is the best he's ever eaten. The food is freshly prepared as ordered. The grill and fryer are clean and the restaurant in all aspects is clean. The owner and staff greets all customers making them feel welcome and at home. I am so glad Woodlawn has an eatery, where locals and traveler's can go in set down and enjoy a good home cooked meal and a friendly atmosphere. Thank you so much Daniel and staff, for giving us the best little restaurant in Texas.
