Best cafeteria in the country for sure. Generous portions, freshest vegetables, desserts are to die for, home baked breads and rolls, and wonderfully attentive staff. Good old fashioned Southern hospitality. You definitely won’t leave hungry. Maybe a little bit pricier than your average cafeteria, but believe me the generous portions will more than make up for it!
Approx $25 per person for a plate of bland, unmemorable food -- huge servings that spill over the plates and bowls onto the tray... We walked out having spent $50 per meal when we could have gone somewhere nicer for a $25 entrée... Huge rip-off. Plus, what used to have a fun family feel now quite honestly feels like the dining hall of a nursing home. Mediocre mid-range place at fine-dining prices. Not going back.
Prices are at the higher end but they serve authentic Texan food. My favorite dessert is their Italian cream cake with pecans. Their iced tea is good too. Almost all their pies and cakes are excellent. The restaurant is clean and has a good ambiance. Portion can be better though with the price being so high.
Always good. The white fish I had (I had to go ask what kind of fish it was) the cod was AMAZING tasted like no cod I've ever had before. Last time I got turkey and dressing. This place has never disappointed me. The only problem is that as you go down the cafeteria line you will fill up you tray there is just too many good selections of things.
Spent $80.00 5/1/2022 food was horrible cucumber n tomatoes were spoiled, I guess recipes were burned or new cooks !!!!!
We live in the area, so regularly order from here, especially since the pandemic began. We were previously very satisfied with the meals and value until they REFUSED to sell us food for our children. We chose a healthier dinner option and opted to pick up kids meals togo from Cleburnes for the children, something we do at least twice a week. After having done the same thing for months, the last time I called our order in to pick it up curbside, I was told that I couldn't call in any kids meals without purchasing an adult meal. This was totally new because we've done it countless times. This forced me to unpack my kids, including a toddler to go inside and order something that could have been done over the phone.After going inside and going to the togo counter, I recounted the experience with the togo server and the manager came over and DOUBLED DOWN. She said she couldn't sell me TWO kids meals at FULL PRICE for my TWO hungry children who were standing with me. This is absurd and I've never been refused service anywhere, especially not somewhere that I've repeatedly given my business.Since this ordeal had already wasted 20+ minutes on a school night, going anywhere else would have taken more time. I sadly had to struggle through the cafeteria line while trying to push a tray and hold a toddler, simply to get food for my children. All while the togo servers and manager watched, not flinching at the ridiculous situation. All of that to take the tray to a table and immediately pack it into a togo container myself.I'm embarrassed to have been treated so poorly after giving this establishment so much business. What kind of establishment would refuse children food?!??If this is in fact the policy, any respectable manager and decent establishment would say, “I apologize for the confusion and lack of consistency with this policy in the past. I will be sure to RE-educate our staff to ensure that our customers get a consistent experience. I see your hands are full and I am so sorry for this inconvenience. Allow me to make an exception for you this evening [since we pulled this policy out of this air].”
I've been coming here for many, many, years. Portions are huge, and food is fresh. However, I got 2 side orders to take home, and it was over $8.00. They charge for the take out containers, too. I love the food, but I simply can't afford their prices anymore. I wish there were options for those of us over 65, and on a fixed income...maybe a half order, or specials, at a lower price. Anything would be great because I can't stop coming to one of my favorite places to eat. Hope they will consider some lower priced options in the near future. Love you Cleburne's.
My brother recommend Cleburne to us so before leaving Houston, Dropped in for dinner. Must say Food, Service and Staff are EXCELLENT! Hats off to all of you, we really enjoyed it and will have to revisit soon. We will definitely recommend Cleburnes to our Friends and Family in Corpus Christi. Thank You for the GREAT Service! Your food and dessert varieties are exceptional ? wish I could have tasted it all!
The service was really good. Everything moved in a fast and efficient way. You do get a lot of food for what you’re paying, I just was not impressed. I thought I found a new cafeteria style place to eat at but sadly I was wrong. The food lacked seasoning and flavor. Likely won’t be back.
Great food and friendly staff service
