The River Oaks Cafe is basically a local institution in this small city, earning the business of locals? and travelers? as far... back as I can remember. Open 7 days a week, from 6:00am - 3:00 pm, it?s a little hole in the wall that?s serving up some of thebest comfort food in town! Located in a strip mall along the main drag in River Oaks, you can expect to see some lots of oldtimer?s, families with kids, police and even military personnel. I used to eat here with my Papa before he passed away, so it?sa very nostalgic place for me. The old 1980?s decor is tired, but what they lack in pizazz, they make up for in flavor! The waitstaff is always kind and the menu is expansive offering everything from breakfast, lunch specials, burgers, entrees, sandwiches,soups, salads, sides and desserts. Our order: Fried Hash Browns (ordered extra crispy) topped with shredded Cheddar Cheese andfresh jalapeños, but you can also add Bell Peppers, Onions, Sour Cream or Tomatoes! My aunt ordered two over easy Fried Eggswith two Sausage Pattie?s and an enormous Pancake with whipped butter that arrived at our table almost as large as the plate itwas served on! I ordered a small cup of Grits with my breakfast and enjoyed every single bite! Pros: The prices are veryaffordable! The service and atmosphere is exactly what you?d hope for and expect from a long term local eatery. There?s a coupleof small tables on the little patio for anyone looking to enjoy their meal outdoors. Cons: Not a single complaint from me, butit gets busy between the breakfast/lunch rush hours of 10:00am - 1:00pm, so keep that in mind when picking your mealtime. Read more

Pretty good food. Great atmosphere and servers. Will definitely be back. Though the chicken fried pork chop wasn't as tender... as I like (I suppose that's the nature of pork, eh?) - my companion's chicken fried steak was great. She was pleased with it. Topped off the day with a slice of hot apple pie and a scoop of ice cream. I'll definitely be back when I'm on this side ofthe MetroMess again. Read more

The perfect diner for just about everyone. If I'd lived in the area this would be my breakfast spot of choice. I'd for sure be a... regular. You get outstanding down home cooking, service with a smile and even the regulars make for a good experience. The foodwas portioned perfectly and was absolutely delicious. The coffee here is definitely a highlight because most diners skimp ongood coffee but not these guys. The place was clean and everyone who worked there had a smile on the whole time. Another thingthat needs mentioned is my coffee never went empty. It's the little touches like this and the friendly atmosphere that reallysets this place above the rest. I can't wait to go back!

I couldn't give higher praise! This is the best cafe in Fort Worth that I've found. The staff here is amazing, the food is... flavorful and fresh, and they keep the coffee full! Their Florentine Texas Bennie with hatch chilies blew me away, the pork hashis tender and crispy, and their french toast is unique and heavenly!! We had several staff members check in on us and welcome usto the restaurant. Honestly, a great Sunday brunch spot! Read more

One of the best meals and excellent service we have had in a long time. We will be back. When they ask you if you want 1 or 2... pancakes, there is a reason why. Literally the size of the plate! AmbassadorsOfFun.com Read more

Fantastic old school cafe. Always greeted with a smile by the staff. The food is simply amazing. Brunch on Saturdays is the way... to go. Several choices of custom egg Benedict's. Some of the largest pancakes that will fill you up! Have yet to have anythingthat wasn't very good. Must try small town cafe. Read more
