This day trip takes us about 24 miles east of our winter haven at Leakey. The location is the scene from a local favorite movie, "7 Days in Utopia", about a local golf hero and his cowboy mentor, decent flick.
This is your typical small-town (pop. 228) cafe in a town not on the way to anywhere yet known by all the locals and believe me everybody knows everybody. The menu is simple, yet loved by everyone, easily described as 'down home country cooking'. www.lostmaplescafe.com
Breakfast
Lamb Sliders
Rib Eye Steak with all the trimmings
Barb and I drove over for the day, always enjoying the Hill Country scenery. We arrived in time for lunch. The parking lot was full as it always is. We made our way inside and managed to find a seat. Nothing like a cold drink and lunch.
Barb ordered the Grilled Chicken Sandwich Special w/Fries while I selected the Steak Fingers with Onion Rings.
We absolutely loved our meals. Barb thoroughly enjoyed the chicken while the steak fingers were the best I've ever had since Sir Scott's Oasis Steakhouse in Belgrade, MT. Delicious beef, HUGE onion rings, and a bowl of delicious white gravy. The service was small town excellent. There were 4 servers. Ours was at our side immediately, the food arrived in 10 minutes, and she checked on us several times. She even delivered a piece of complimentary Spice Cake for dessert. Price of our meal was $31.15 and the food is much better than many more upscale restaurants. Lost Maples Cafe, a bit of local history and well worth the price of the trip. This is Barb's and my type of place, friendly folks, great service, and food that will spark many a fond memory. They haven't seen the last of us. This one is easy.
