Ho hum food, iffy service, decent atmosphere. The cafeteria of yesteryear is no more. Not bad. Not good. Just truly mediocre. I ate there expecting what Underwood's was 30 years ago, and I guess my expectations were just too high.

Great food, as always!!! Hubby and I haven't been here in awhile but we were passing through on our way to San Angelo and decided today was the day to stop and enjoy brunch!!!!

We missed this place the last time we found ourselves in Brownwood and I couldn't wait to try their fried chicken. When came back I looked them up praying it was still open. It was and they had a coupon you could print out at your hotel, very cool. We loved the fact that they have the old school neon cowboy sign and it was cafeteria style, something that seems extinct. It was after lunch and slow so we didn't feel bad asking a ton of questions and everyone was so helpful and kind. Grab a tray and go for it....the coupon allowed for two half portions of your choice of meat, I got the fried chicken and the baked chicken both tender and juicy. You also have a choice of three, yes three sides and whatever "fixens" you want. Lots of choices, but save room for the rolls, my goodness they are so soft and fluffy you could almost cuddle up one. They have them up on "the line" but servers will come around to ask if your like more and to offer sweet whipped butter that compliments those "fluffy air-babies" perfectly. Did I mention dessert? Cobbler in apple, peach or cherry, they come around with fresh whip cream for that as well as refills of your drinks. If we ever "pass through" Brownwood TX. again we will run right back in. Thank you for your hospitality.

Came here as we were passing through town after a recommendation from family. Reviews were good and there was lots of talk about the bread. We were the first ones in after a lull and were warmly greeted by the staff. The food line was smaller than I imagined with two types of half chicken, (BBQ & baked) ribs, a very dry looking BBQ steak, and some fried chicken. We chosen the small order of ribs , a half BBQ chicken and a chicken wing. The sides were the corn, mashed potatoes and gravy and an oddly colored potato salad. I also got some cherry cobbler. Oh and we grabbed some dinner rolls. The ribs were tender and thoroughly enjoyed. My BBQ chicken was tasty with the dark meat more flavorful than the breast meat. The chicken wing was also very good. The mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious! The corn was flavorless and the potato salad was good. Of course, the star were the delicious, soft, hot and melt in your mouth dinner rolls. Honestly, pace yourself because it's reeeeal easy to down 5-6 of these before you start your meal...they are that good. They even have one of the workers walking through the restaurant with rolls Asking if you want more... oh heck yeah!! All in all, it's decent food for cafeteria style. The friendly workers and the rolls are enough the bring me back with the text of my family.... The one negative thing is the dirtiness of the bathroom. Honestly, it's time for a serious deep deep deep clean !! I've been inside sketchy gas station bathrooms that were cleaner and smelled less of urine.

The best place to stop for home cooking goods in the whole city. Great value for the amount and quality of food you get. Super friendly staff work here also. Never leave here less than full.
