Back Door Cafe

Stopped in here to visit where a scene from the Tree of Life was filmed. It was cool to sit where Brad Pitt sat with his kids in the film. The staff was friendly and I enjoyed the experience.

Love this place: owner/staff great, food delicious and interesting/old bldg and decor!

A true chef runs this bright spot. Menu changes from day to day and depends upon what he can get fresh each morning.

We were looking for a quick bite to eat on the way to Big Bend National Park (this is a long way from there, but we were headed down I-10). We drove by the place originally, since there was no sign, but made a quick turn around and stopped at the only place we saw that looked like a business. We asked the staff inside the store and they pointed us to the door in back. There is an actual back door to the place, hence the name and also the entrance most people used. This is what you might term a “hole in the wall”, but we loved the food and staff. Now, realize, this is not going to be salads and hummus...this is meat, fried potatoes and onion rings, and sweet tea and there ain’t nothing wrong with those things. The server was beyond great and helped us to some good ole’ Texas hospitality. They have a special every Saturday of the month, so you should definitely check this place out.

Wonderful family owned restaurant. Their sourdough pizza crust is made from barley from the shiner brewery. All other pizza is a disappointment now. The pork tacos might be my favorite though with a glass of house made sangria. Also can't go without a salad with their house made tomato basil vinaigrette. YUM!
