Great place to go. Excellent food. service was prompt and friendly. Thank you Paige. We had the liver and onions as well as the pot roast. They get a 4.5 instead of a 5 because they used those baby carrots in the pot roast. Wish they had hand cut them. No need for butter on the rolls or corn bread. Very moist and tasty. Can't wait to go back. Wish it were closer.

1st time here, spreading our wings a little. This place is tucked away in a small little mini mall. It is indeed a hidden gem. We were pleasantly surprised at the extensiveness of the breakfast menu, and the speediness of the food arriving at our table after ordering.. I got the pork chop breakfast; 2 over medium, toast, home fries w/ onions and 2 pork chops. Well it all was super well cooked as should be and scrumptious.. These were the best, most tender most flavorful chops i have had in years. What a pleasure having a great breakfast for a change. You can bet we will be back again....

Classic American Cuisine with a Bistro Flair! Plenty of classic Fresh Egg breakfast options to choose from, cooked fresh to order. Nothing fancy, just quaint and cozy little Mom&Pop corner cafe. Great Cubans & Black Beans and Rice, Big Homemade Tastin' Bu

Looking for fried fish that tastes fresh with a light, crunchy coating? Britt's Cafe is my new go-to place for fried fish. The home fries were lightly spiced and bite-sized. I ate outside with a friend in the shade. The coleslaw was so fresh it would impress mama. I also ordered a take-home full-size Cuban that hubby devoured with glee.With indoor and outdoor dining, this place is swamped at breakfast and lunch. Enjoy the 11 a.m. lull for quickest service. Though this cafe has been in business 20 years, and the staff has almost no turnover, I just discovered this hidden gem. Find it at the opposite end of the strip of stores from Target on Harden Blvd.Family-owned.Joni! You are a gem!! We're so blessed to have friends like you who take time to tell others about your awesome experience! We love you Joni and pray you have a blessed week! Looking forward to seeing you again real soon!

This is a friendly place with decent food. The food is not above average, but the service is great. The fries are very good. Sandwiches are what you might call standard coffee shop quality. Itâs a very popular place, always busy. I will go back when Iâm in the area to try other things there.
