1st City Cafe

This place is great! It's in a beautiful retro 70's hotel with a great view of the pool.
I got the best Chicken and Waffles I've ever had in my life. Skylar was our server and she was the best!

I highly recommend!

The food was pretty good, but some dishes were a bit too salty. However the overall quality was fine and the atmosphere was great.

Food was very good. My wife had chicken fried steak and I had the Cobb salad.

Food was excellent. I got the crab cake Benedict which was amazing and husband got the banana bread french toast which was also very good. Good service.

It is tucked away inside the Fredonia hotel. The food is decent and the service is always nice. We have never had to wait on a table.

Went here yesterday and has an excellent experience. Our waitress (think Alysaa? From Newton Texas) was very friendly and new the menu very well. All of the food tasted very good. Even though the place was decently busy, the service was still quick. Lastly, the banana bread dessert is an absolute must.

We had breakfast here. The food was better than most breakfasts.
However, the service was terrible. We counted 6 tables occupied and 3 servers.
We only saw our server when she brought our coffee and took our order, when she brought the food, when she came back much later to see if she could take any of our plates, and of course to bring our bill.
She never came by to see how we were doing or if we needed coffee refills.
We really felt like we were forgotten by her.

First off, if you can get Addy/Ashley from Waco(Robinson to be technical) she's amazing, a total sweetheart, great service, we've gotten her both of our trips and she has not let us down. So my first visit I doubted my date's recommendation of Shrimp & Grits, but I did try his at one point and it was phenomenal. Needless to say, Valentine's Day, I had to get some Shrimp & Grits, they just fill my soul w/ southern joy. I did get I believe the Love Charm Martini (it didn't have any vodka though, which I liked about it) , as you can see the presentation was nice, and I admit, it was yummy. I was glad they left vodka out. The other specialty drink for the day had gin and I don't much like that either. But the atmosphere and style of the remodel is great, and I hear room service is basically from the 1st city kitchen, so feel free to order those Shrimp & Grits straight to your room.

Wonderful atmosphere, good food. A great for a destintstion breakfast\brunch in East Texas.

Nice downtown spot for brunch, good mimosa’s and friendly wait staff.
