Mill Creek Cafe

We came here on a Saturday for lunch. It was fairly busy and we were seated right away. They had a delicious looking buffet and we would have ordered it, but our waitress told us it was going to be $ 12 for each of us. My children are 1 year and 2 years old-​by no means would they even eat $ 5 worth. I asked again to make sure that there wasn’t kids pricing and she said no, disappointing.
I ended up ordering a taco, the meat was flavorless but the portion size was good and it came with chips and salsa. My husband ordered a hamburger and it looked delicious. We ordered Mac and cheese for the kids and they really liked theirs as well.
Overall it was a fair experience. I’m sure we will go back when we are in the area.

Visited Mill Creek last summer 2013 & enjoyed a good chicken fried steak. This summer 6÷10÷2014, the chicken fried steak was horrible: poor choice of meat, very blan breading and chalky tasting gravy. WHAT HAPPENED? Even the water tasted bad. I will eat elsewhere next summer.

We went to this place to try something new while we were in Leakey. The place was not very busy, but it took a long time to get waited on. The service was also slow. The food was ok for the price. For the salad bar they have a choice of all you can eat, or a single trip only. I never heard of such a thing, but ok. I ordered the «all you can eat.» While going to the salad bar for the second time, an older lady who worked there was very rude to me, asking in a nasty tone, «did you pay for the all you can eat?» This would not have been so bad, but there were other people in line at the salad bar and they all heard what she said and I was embarrassed.

cute little warm café for our cold weekend to the Lost Maples this past weekend. friendly waitress, comfort food that wasn’t exactly «WOW!» but definitely still hit the spot. :)

It’s a good place to eat for such a small town. Our burgers were large and delicious and the onion rings were to die for! Our server was friendly and attentive.

The staff is very nice and the prices are great. The food was on average for a southern comfort establishment. It was a limited variety but everything tasted fine. It didn’t wow me with complex flavors but I enjoyed my meal and would happily come back. The lighting is a bit low over the buffet so that was a bit unappealing.

The parking lot had was full of vehicles at 11:30am on Saturday… usually a good indication of what awaited inside. Upon entering the large spacious dining area you are immediately greeted with bright yellow walls with minimal décor. The establishment was full and therefore a bit loud.
Waitress was friendly and smiled during the introduction and after placing the drink order she explained the salad bar and lunch buffet and left a menu for me to examine. The waitresses wore shirts depicting Leakey’s latest census count, pretty cool for a small town.
The lunch buffet looked really good. Today’s selections included various meets — pot roast, sausage, brisket, shredded pork for making sandwiches, etc; sides included beans, corn on the cob, green bean casserole, roasted potatoes and a few others.
I didn’t want to overeat so passed on the buffet. Ordered a cheeseburger with fries and observed another table had a large plate of onion rings, so added them to my order as well. The iced tea arrived in a very large glass with lots of ice, perfect for satisfying a summer thirst. The burger was big, juicy and delicious and the toasted jalapeño bun well worth the extra dollar. The onion rings were some of the best I’ve ever had, consistent thickness, perfect amount of breading and golden brown. Highly recommended. The rings were so good I actually ate them first and ended up needing a to-​go box for the remainder of the cheeseburger. The waitress also offered a to-​go cup for my tea, which is a +1 in my book for great service.
Upon leaving I grabbed a small pocket sized folded to-​go menu from the register counter on my way out. It was professionally printed and a good reminder of the meal and experience. I Will definitely be back.

We went in for breakfast. It’s a large place with very reasonable prices. The breakfast buffet wasn’t all that appealing, but at $ 8 for all-​you-​care-​to-​eat, it was likely a bargain! We ordered from the menu (the usual breakfast fare) and everyone was very happy with their meals. The thing I liked best was that all of the waitresses were notably happy and very friendly.

Nice salad bar.
We all three got chicken fried steak … wasn’t just mediocre … It was AWFUL!

Good food. Fine salad bar. Friendly service. Excellent prices.
