TEXAN CAFE & Pie Shop

About

Just a cozy little cafe with a growing reputation for "home cooking" and an amazing selection of pies. http://www.texancafe.net/

Story

We seek to recreate a friendly Route 66 style cafe - and we are proud to have no TVs. We like making real food - right here - using lots of Grandma's recipes. We serve unique things like Fried Pickles, Green Tomatoes or a Chocolate Covered Cherry pie on Oil Cloth tablecloths. It's a bit like Sunday dinner at Grandma’s.

History:

The TEXAN CAFE began in 1996 in a small building along Highway 79 a few miles east of Hutto at the train stop of Frameswitch. Out front, along the road stood "Ferdinand," a larger than life Hereford statue. As traffic increased and the road needed to be widened, the cafe was moved to Hutto. Part of Ferdinand - his head - was mounted on the top front of the building. In October of 2006 the cafe was purchased by the current owners Roger Joughin and Ron Yaudes.

Hippos Everywhere
In 1915, a circus train stopped in Hutto and a hippopotamus escaped off the train to wallow in the cooling waters of nearby cottonwood creek. The engineer telegraphed ahead to "Hold the train - there's a hippo loose in Hutto." Thus began our claim to fame. In the 1920's the local school chose the Hippo as their mascot. Just down the block is "Henrietta" - a hippo statue that's great for family pictures.

A little pricey but couldn't go there and not eat the pie! My husband and I split a burger and fries and each had our own pie (we don't like the same kind...I don't like apple pie and he doesn't like coconut pie). That said, it was very good, but $35 for 1 meal and pie. It was a nice treat, though.

Disappointed, to say the least. The club sandwich was made using Kraft Singles for both the American and Swiss cheese. If you need to cut cost don't sacrifice the quality of the food!!! The Fries were half decent, and the staff was friendly, but not the most attentive. When we informed our waitress of the poor excuse for a meal she didn't apologize or attempt to rectify the situation at all. Even after I got home I'm still attempting to get the taste out of my mouth. The pies are store bought from Walmart and dished to look like they are house made. In short, don't even bother going inside.

I have never been disappointed. Every time I eat here the food is hot fresh and delicious. And the pies are fantastic. As long as they are open I will be a loyal customer

If you’re looking for great home cooked food this is the place to go. Best chicken fried chicken, large serving sizes(we split). The Mac and cheese is really good. The best pies EVER! Coconut Creme pie and apple a la mode are so delicious. Haven’t had a bad meal yet!

This restaurant has been around for decades. We first went there when it was on 79 before 79 was widened, maybe 25 years ago. It was between Hutto and Taylor. It is now owned by a person who was once a manager for Lone Star Cafe, an Austin favorite in the day. They also have a pie shop. I just ate a fresh made rhubarb pie, nice and tart. They have daily specials and an extensive vegetable list, but not all veggies are vegan or vegetarian. One has to ask. This is just good comfort food served well in a friendly atmosphere. I just wanted a great hamburger. I got it and will have the rest for dinner.
