We ordered the veggie omelette with biscuits and gravy and pecan French toast and it was so delicious! It is the best French toast I have ever eaten! Our server was so nice her name was Karen, she was very attentive and continued to offer my husband more coffee and checked on us frequently. It was a great place I would come here again!

Went in wanting breakfast and thank goodness they were the only one who served breakfast after 11. The staff was very friendly. I wanted coffee and it was very strong with a rich bold flavor. Definitely my style. The menu is overwhelming especially for someone like me who shouldn't have a plethora of choices. I decided on the chiliquiles w/pork. My gf decided on the juevos rancheros with a side of French toast. The chiliquiles did not disappoint. Plenty of food as well. The rancheros has a nice taste. The one thing that I never order is hash browns. Usually too crispy or dry. Well I tried them and they were seasoned perfectly and were actually home made not the frozen in box style. I messaged my mom and sister saying these tastes just like Mom's!! Lol. Great place, next time in the area you definitely have to give Pioneer's Cafe a try!

Great restaurant and atmosphere, awesome staff, and delicious food. What more could you ask for. I had the Pioneer Fries and it was hot and very delicious, so delicious in fact I went to Walmart so I could try and copy the recipe. This has become my new to-go place for food in Sulphur Springs. The only thing that threw me off is they told me to seat myself haha

This is the best fried catfish I’ve eaten! It has such a wonderful crispy batter. Fried to perfection. The homemade cut French fries were perfect too. Served with some sweet slaw and hush puppies. The waitress was very sweet and friendly. What are you waiting for? Go get some of this homemade grub!!

I found this cafe, looking for a place to get lunch. Wow! I was greeted coming in the door, even though it was real busy. Karen greeted me at the table like we were old friends; even though we had never met. The special for the day was chicken and dressing with all the fixings. Best meal I've had in a long time. I told Karen that after eating that meal, if the Lord called me home that day; I would go through the pearly gates with a smile on my face and a song in my heart, knowing I've already had a taste of Heaven.
