For 15 years the Yellow Rose Cafe has catered to a loyal customer base that appreciates the wide array of fresh foods served seven days per week at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The large menu offers traditional Southern foods, Mexican fare, seafood and steaks, just to name a few items available on the breakfast and dinner menus. Just about anything you might want can be found on the menu, and owner Homero and his staff of longtime employees will make it happen if they can. Substitutions are no problem for this staff that takes the time to get to know you and will remember your name if you visit more than once or twice.
There are daily lunch specials Monday through Friday that include Chicken Fried Steak, Catfish Fillets, Chicken Fried Tenders, Grilled Chicken Breast and Hamburger Steak. All come with your choice of two vegetables, rolls and cornbread. In addition, there is another daily special that changes from day-to-day featuring Meat Loaf, Fajitas, Mexican Dinners and other choices.
All of the food is hand-prepared daily, and the heaping hot plates come out of the kitchen fast. Too go orders are popular at the restaurant also.
There is a dessert menu, and if it is your birthday you get a piece of strawberry short cake compliment of the house.
The cafe, which features yellow roses in pots on the front porch and is decorated in a ranch theme with scenic local art and colorful pottery, opens seven days a week at 6:30 a.m. It stays open Sunday through Thursday until 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. on weekends. There is a full bar, and there is a separate smoking section. Fortunately, the dining room is large enough that smoke from the back seldom seems to reach the non-smoking section in front.
Yellow Rose Cafe, which also has a location in Terrell, is at 229 N. Seven Points Boulevard, Seven Points, TX 75143, 903-432-9555.
