Review of The Overlook Cafe
The Overlook Cafe: A Scenic Stopover with Decent Food
The Overlook Cafe is a small eatery located inside the Nature Store and Children's Animal Center in Glen Rose, Texas. The cafe is open seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and serves as a convenient stopover for visitors to the nearby Fossil Rim Wildlife Center.
The cafe boasts a beautiful view of the surrounding hills and wildlife, making it an ideal spot for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. The food is decent, with burgers and fries being the most popular items on the menu. The cafe also offers hummus trays and French fries for vegetarians. Customers have praised the coffee, and some have even collected the cafe's souvenir cups.
However, the cafe has received mixed reviews from customers. While some have raved about the food and the view, others have criticized the slow service and high prices. Some customers have complained about the lack of variety on the menu, while others have reported receiving undercooked or raw food.
The cafe is run by students, and some customers have reported long wait times due to the limited staff. However, the waitstaff is friendly and attentive, and the cafe is clean and well-maintained.
If you're visiting the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center and need a place to grab a bite, The Overlook Cafe is worth a stop. The view alone is worth the visit, and the food is decent enough to satisfy your hunger. However, be prepared for high prices and potential wait times, and don't expect a wide variety of menu options.

The sad thing about it is they don't serve lattes here or sweets. Just hot coffee.
