The House Café
Theme: Breakfast and lunch entrees; breakfast is served all day
On the Menu: Breakfast specials menu includes traditional eggs, bacon, and sausage dishes served with biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns and country potatoes. If you like your eggs with a Mexican flair, you will enjoy the migas, breakfast burritos and breakfast tacos.
ONA Webmaster note: The migas, with country potatoes, warm salsa and flour and corn tortillas are why I have to do The House Café at least once a month!
For those of you with a larger breakfast appetite for more traditional items, you will want to indulge in the T-bone steak, New York steak, chicken fried steaks, or pork chops served with eggs. French toast, pancakes, oatmeal, grits, or banana, strawberry, and pecan waffles and are also available. Eggs benedict are always a favorite as well as the eleven choices of omelettes.
For lunch, there is a wide selection of steak, chicken, seafood dishes plus garden fresh salads, burgers from the grill served in triple sourdough toast, and super sandwiches served with your choice of fries or potato chips.
There is always a special of the day which includes three vegetables, roll, and cornbread.
Desserts menu includes chocolate, banana cream, and coconut cream pie as well as fresh strawberry pie.

Comments: The House Café has been in business for approximately five years. It is know for its fine "down home cooking." It has a VERY casual atmosphere with very attentive and personable waitresses. The service is very expedient. Some of out favorite dishes include: waffles, pancakes, breakfast burritos, chicken fajita omelette, chicken fajita salad, and fresh fried catfish. Their portions are quite generous. I am always amazed how much chicken is in the fajita omelette and fajita salad. Most anytime you are there you will see at least two or three Richardson Policemen dinning. They usually know the best places to eat. Hope you enjoy!
