The Daily Special Cafe

It was fine. Small town cafe that serves alot of pre-made frozen foods. Stuff they actually make in house was pretty good.

Overall, won't return.

Food was so good !!! Sweet tea was great, service was amazing. I got the coconut shrimp and I thought it was great. I recommend trying this little cafe 10/10!

Chicken fried steak and service was great. Spinach was also great.
Lots of deserts to choose from as well

Not bad if you're not picky. Being a resident of Alvarado you're held hostage to chain fast food restaurants. This is one of the only non chain establishments in town. Is it food worth going out of your way for? No, but it's better than chain Pizza or burgers. 3 stars for the friendly staff that makes you feel at home.

Today was our 3rd and last time going to the Daily Special. Upon arriving we were able to choose from many empty tables. The Diner was semi busy but they seemed to have plenty help on hand. We were finally given menus after a 10 minute wait and then ignored while I watched the waitress take orders of tables that came in way after us. When we finally put our order in we thought our long wait times were over. We had ordered 2 hamburgers nothing that should take too long. Then we watched as everyone around us got their food, then many finished their food, paid their bills and left. Finally in frustration I asked about our order and she said she go and check on it. Another 10 minutes go by and she finally served us with not one "I'm sorry " The food was OK but the service left a very bad taste in our mouths.

The cook Miss Maria!!! The service from the awesome waitresses!!! I luv the down home feel and the warm friendly faithful regulars that I interact with on a daily special (pun intended). Cook fresh to order and served up hot. In my pic below I didn't have room to show my eggs over medium on a bed of grits.

Popped in for dinner to this hidden gem! Meatloaf Monday night dinner special is so full of flavor. And by the looks of photos shared on Google we of course had to get the chicken fried steak. We shared the 4 veggie sides corn nuggets, fried squash, mashed potatoes & yesss the fried okra. They were out of rolls so toast was substituted & a very great substitute tasted more like an upgrade but now just has us intrigued to get a taste of the rolls!!! We'll definitely be returning for many other menu items... catfish for sure & will make sure to save room for dessert & already making plans to try out breakfast menu items is a must! Oooh & the sweet tea... my oh my... refreshing!!! Such great positive vibes felt from the moment we walked in & were in ultimate shock when we were told our bill had been paid. Such a blessing. Prayers & thanks to the kind hearted soul of a stranger that gifted us with an awesome meal tonight!

This is my breakfast stop almost every Monday. Absolutely love the food. The friendliness of staff and other customers is a breath of fresh air.

Great little spot for a quick, affordable, delicious breakfast. Love a small diner with good breakfast.

My colleague and I stopped in for breakfast today after reading these mostly positive reviews. We were told to sit wherever and asked for a drink order pretty quickly. About 10 minutes passed by and no drinks came. The waitstaff were in the prep area discussing their schedule for the week and their weekend plans. Our waitress and I made eye contact several times without any notice from her to bring drinks and take a food order. We eventually got up and left.
