Back In The Day Cafe

I have always enjoyed Back in the Day. Good food all day. Prices very good. Service is always friendly with a smile. Highly recommend you try this hideaway. Parking is limited and precision needed as it is a snug lot.

Good food good service. The plates go smaller than they were a couple of years ago. But still authentic home cooking.

Atmosphere is easy on the eyes and has a creative theme.
Service is friendly and quick.
Problem: I ordered “Back in the Day” breakfast. The eggs were good. Sausage is not homemade and served as little pucks. Hash browns are not homemade and served like the McDs hash brown. Biscuits and gravy is not homemade. They cut corners to save money of course. Loss of that quality that should be in home style cooking for such a well decorated Texas restaurant.
Solution: Get out the grater and make some real hash browns. Slap that whole sausage meat in your hand and cook it juicy. Make a batter for some fresh biscuits. Throw some bacon, bacon grease, and sausage in that gravy. And then I will come back.

My family ate here and it was great. We will be going there a lot. It was quick and friendly. The food was fantastic. We had steak-fingers and hamburger steak. The steak-fingers were better then the ones you used to get in Andres, Tx.

Waited all most 1 hour for my food

LOVE their Chicken Frid Steak!! The best we have found in Midland/Odessa. Mushrooms are tasty and the okra is awesome. Perfect for a lunch date.

Went for breakfast. Asked for three eggs scrambled with cheese mixed in. No cheese. They tried to melt cheese under heat lamps. First time I wouldn’t eat bacon. Hard as a rock and no flavor. And a frozen little hash brown patty that was drenched in grease. Service was not that great either. This wasn’t the first time for bad service. I will no longer go here and waste money

Service was slow. And food was very very very overpriced. The Taste was okay but honestly there are other places that are not as expensive and the food quality is a little bit better at other places. If you do choose to go here be prepared to spend a lot of money. I will however say that the portion sizes are pretty decent.

The Decor is very cool and the staff is very nice my problem was not the service it was the food I got the breakfast special Which consist two pancakes two eggs two pieces of bacon which was nice ok nothing out of this world the hash browns have no flavor and are the ones you can get at sams or HEB frozen not what you would expect from a diner or cafe it resemble the ones from McDonald’s to be honest it taste like cardboard had no flavor everything was just OK on terms of food I probably won’t come back the food was what did it for me

The food here was absolutely amazing. Everything cooked just like I asked. The service was horrible. Took forever to get a drink order and to get submit payment. While eating I noticed the servers were constantly running over and cutting off customers that were trying to get to their tables.
