This All-You-Can-Eat Buffet In Texas, Coffee Shop Cafe, Is What Dreams Are Made Of

Southern comfort food is sacred to us here in Texas, and if it doesn't taste exactly like mom used to make, we won't touch it with a 10-foot pole. Coffee Shop Cafe, located in the small town of McGregor, serves all the classic dishes we grew up with buffet-style, so you can fill your plate 'till your heart's content and enjoy every last nostalgic bite.

Just 20 minutes outside of Waco, the small town of McGregor, Texas (population: 5,144) is easy to miss if you aren't looking for it.

That would be a crying shame, however, as it would mean missing out on the delicious, down-home Southern eats served up at the Coffee Shop Cafe.

Immediately upon stepping inside, you'll feel right at home.

Farmhouse décor and pictures of the town cover the walls, and coffee mugs - paying homage to the restaurant's namesake - are hung everywhere you look.

The breakfast-until-dinner menu features a bevy of homestyle classics, including omelets, pancakes the size of your face, Texas-shaped waffles, burgers, and more beef, chicken, and seafood entrees than you could shake a stick at.

Everything is made-to-order using real, fresh ingredients, and you can absolutely taste the passion and love poured into each recipe.

If you happen to visit on a Thursday night, expect a full house.

The famous Coffee Shop Cafe buffet runs from 4:45 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Thursdays, and there's rarely an empty seat to be found. For just $8.99 per person, you can enjoy unlimited chicken-fried-steak, enchiladas, fajitas, and more, filling your plate 'till your heart's content.

Don't fret if you can't make it on a Thursday - the buffet is offered every other day of the week, as well (lunch and dinner Monday-Wednesday, dinner only Friday-Saturday, and lunch only on Sunday.)

There's just one small, yet glaring difference: unlike Thursday evenings, it isn't all-you-can-eat. The portions are still plenty large, however, so you can rest assured you won't leave the table hungry.

Whatever you do, don't pass up the jalapeno cornbread.

It's as light and fluffy as a pillow, yet incredibly rich with a buttery texture that almost melts in your mouth.

No matter how impossible it may seem, at least try to save room for dessert.

From key lime to chocolate pecan, a variety of pies are made fresh daily to end your meal on the sweetest note possible.

Address: 1005 West McGregor Drive, McGregor, TX 76657.

Hours are 6 a.m. until 9 p.m. Monday-Saturday, and 6 a.m. until 2 p.m. Sunday.
