If i could leave a no stars review i definitely would. Me and my gf pass this place often and wondered if the breakfast was any good so today we decided to try it. We walk in and the place is empty. We sit down and we were instantly attacked by a bunch of flies but we decided to stay anyway for some odd reason. Then as we waited for the food we ordered flies kept Landing on us and flying around our table and faces so we decide to get the food and drinks to go. By the way we hadn’t consumed anything from them the entire time we were there. So as we’re at the register about to pay the waitress tells us our total is 24 dollars. Now my meal was 8 dollars and my gf meal was 6 dollars plus 4 dollars in drinks plus tax that should have been 18 dollars. So we tell her about her mistake in the math and she tries to argue us down saying that we were wrong so at that point I’m completely fed up so we said that we didn’t want anything at all and just wanted the money back that we paid. And the lady tells us that we can’t have our money back so after telling her off in the most politec way i could fathom she enough gives us our money back and tells us that god is gonna get us for doing them like that. DO NOT EVER EVER EVER IN A MILLION YEARS GO TO THIS TRASHY UGLY FLY INVESTED RESTAURANT!!!

I had high hopes for this place, but alas they were quickly dashed! This is a local hangout and seems to be very popular! There are no frills and that is fine with me because there is a lot of character from the staff to the décor. The menus appear to be from the 60s and are worn but contain many choices! The walls are dingy and haven’t been painted in decades! The waitresses were «down home» friendly! The food was okay although the hash browns were sloppy with grease. The biggest negative was the smoke! Yes they allowed smoking and it seemed that every local lit up once they had finished eating!
If you don’t mind the smoke and want to eat in a true vintage café, this is a place you will enjoy. If you don’t enjoy a smoke filled environment then avoid Peggy’s!

Little hole in the wall. Had some good enchiladas. Hubby got chicken fried steak. It was really good. Waitress is super sweet and attentive.

Really this place equals no stars. Ok here we go over to this icky side of town. I guess it made perfect since to try some local dining based on a locals recommendation. How wrong could this get. This dump was peppered with cigarette butts right outside the door. The inside was worse. I hit this cloud of smoke that would rival a bingo parlor on a Thursday night coming from two old women (non ladies).
Ok sh#t. We are here now let’s tough it out. Here comes one of two waitresses. The other one was busy eating are the front bar. Looked at the menu. Mmmmmm. Doesn’t look very good. Daily specials looked tired and bland. Ordered off the menu. Food came. Salad was lettuce and ranch dressing. Three crackers. Nothing else. My pork chops were greasy and one tastes spoiled. Other plate of chicken tenders were frozen and came from a bag. Frozen French fries with no seasoning. Straight from the bag. Cole slaw was warm like it was unrefridgerated for a while. This place is just what I expected for this area. What a sad mess. Disappointing at best. Finally made us sick.

I love this place! Breakfast or other meals it’s great food and pretty cheap. Their waffles are awesome and actually what I woke up craving today.

«Renamed years ago. Now called PEGGY’S Café. This café is the site of an even older place called LONE OAKS CAFE, which had been in operation for over 30 years. If you want «country style Southern Home Cooking» you will not be dissappointed. They even do kareoke on Friday, Saturday & Monday nights.

Everytime I’m in Mesquite, I demand that we eat here. Marie is the nicest server and always knows just what we want. My parents live in Mesquite and frequent there, but she recognizes me all the way from Chicago. I get the Breakfast Special which is 2 eggs, 2 sausage patties (you can get 2 slices of bacon) and two biscuits with a little bowl of some of the best gravy I’ve ever had.
The biscuits are soft, the gravy is hot. Marie keeps the coffee coming. Peggy, the owner, is always around and friendly. It’s filled with locals, most of whom I’m sure don’t even know what a Unilocal is, but they know good country cooking. Peggy serves it up in her adorable little café with little pomp, but with a lot of heart and flavor!
