| - Asked the nice guy at the Department of Revenue for a lunch recommendation, and he mentioned Art's Cafe. Told us it was comfort food, clean. and all the DPS officers went there so it has to be good! So off we trekked to find out for ourselves.
Patricia greeted us as we walked in the door. She was so friendly and helpful the entire time we were there. It felt more like we had stopped by her home than a diner. She answered questions about the menu, made suggestions after listening to what we had to say. Her suggestions were spot on and quite tasty. Ordered the salad with the meatloaf special and she offered to let us try the soup as well. Cream of Potato was pretty good, but stayed with the salad.
The bacon cheeseburger was nicely prepared, came with fries and a drink too for $5,99, My meatloaf was served with a rich brown gravy, mashed potatoes and green beans for $7.99. These were the daily specials for Tuesday, each day offers something different and I think we will be back to try it again soon.
I didnt eat very much of my meal and Patricia was worried that I didnt like it. It was very good, I couldnt eat much and the serving size was generous. It was nice to see her genuine concern that I might not have liked it. We asked her about the breakfast meals and she let us know that breakfast was served all day.
Asked her about the biscuits and gravy and she mentioned they also do it with Texas toast. If I hadnt been so full I would have ordered it then and there. Just finished my leftovers for dinner and Im even happier with my meatloaf choice.
Yes we will be back. Its good, its clean, its got great prices. Its not fancy and you wont get the anonymous chain restaurant experience. Thats even better in my book and I cant wait to try something else!
