Taylor Cafe

We were very happy that the bbq place we had planned had a 40-minute waiting time, so we landed here on the recommendation of a friendly local. I ordered the 3 meat plate with ribs, sausage and cut beef, and it was all delicious. The meal came with beans and potato salad. The beans were the best I had in my whole life! The prices were great! The lady waiting for us was very friendly and helpful. After we commented on how much we enjoyed the meal, the chef invited us back to see the bbq pit, followed by a quick visit with the owner, a WWII vet that started the restaurant in the 40s. This turned our visit to more an event instead of a meal. You can't beat food and hospitality. I definitely come back when I'm in town.

This was a great old country BBQ experience. The building is tucked around a gravel road, a big bridge, and a rail road track.. so cool. This place seemed to be accustom to regulars and I was not sure what to do when I walked in. Right after I had a seat I was greeted warmly. The menu is small but classic. Meat by the pound, sandwiches, and BBQ plates with only two sides, beans and potato salad. The potato salad is really good but the beans seemed bland. The brisket was lean and tender, the sausage was not greasy : and the the sauce was very authentic. Great REAL food. Over all this place was great and then on our way out we talked with the owner who is a World War Veteran. I loved this experience! Cash only and there is a pool table and they sell beer.

Good barbecue. My Grandma new the owner. I remember as a child going to this place in the 70s. Those were the good old days. Eating those sausages and crackers with a IBC Root Beer Soda. Thank You Taylor Cafe for the Many Good Memories I have to Cherish.

This restaurant holds cherished childhood memories for me with my grandfather, and it remains just as I remember it. The sausage is my favorite; it's drier than others I’ve tried. The potato salad and beans pair perfectly with the ribs, along with the raw onions and pickles, of course. Everything is truly delicious and has a certain secret quality to it. However, my husband surprised me with some sausage for lunch, and I noticed the potatoes lacked salt. The sausage tasted a bit different as well. I wonder if they’ve changed chefs? I love this nostalgic experience and would definitely recommend it.

I don't usually share food photos, but I couldn't resist this time. I visited Taylor Cafe, located at 101 Main Street in Taylor. Interestingly, in the 1870s, a fire wiped out every building in the city except for this one. It's a historic spot that serves delicious BBQ. We had a great time chatting with some of the regulars and the owners. One of the owners, a gentleman in his 90s, still dons his cooking apron and greets guests at the front door. As we were leaving, I wanted to take his photo, but he was a bit grumpy at that moment. Just another day in Texas!
