1st City Cafe

Absolutely amazing! Gorgeous decor, food was sooo delicious, and service was quick and friendly. The attention to cleanliness was unbeatable.

We ate at the restaurant with a large (20+) gathering on a Sunday afternoon. We initially started by the pool, but our server saw bad weather was coming and suggested we move inside before we received our food. Glad we did as it started raining 10 minutes later.

The appetizers & drinks were good. We each ordered off the normal menu. Our food was out in a reasonable amount of time and all were hot and tasty (large portions too). The servers did a great job of getting it all out and keeping our glasses full.

All the employees were very friendly and efficient. Would definitely try to stay at this hotel (and eat at the restaurant) next time passing through Nacogdoches.

Thanks!

The food here is phenomenal unfortunately the service doesn't always match. Everyone is friendly enough....if you can find someone. Seems that most employees hide in the kitchen or maybe they need more servers. Either way we have waited 10 minutes before having a drink order taken numerous times. The hostess took our drink order last time, which was nice but then our appetizer took 30 minutes and came out with our meal that we had ordered only 10 minutes prior. After all of that my wife's food was cold. We will keep going for the food but I hope the service becomes more consistent.

So many deliciously flavored foods ...my whole family loved it charming n mid century modern

We stayed at the Fredonia Hotel and ordered the room service for breakfast from 1st City Cafe. We ordered the lumberjack plate and this might sound small town, but these were hands down the best pancakes I've ever had. They had a perfect buttery taste and fluffy texture and the splattered batter on the fringes were even a little crispy. I didn't even need syrup for half of it (the syrup half was also glorious). I was a little skeptical of the potato side because of the look but even those had a great taste and texture. The biscuit was huge and also amazing. I personally ordered the breakfast tacos and this was easily top 5 in breakfast tacos I've had throughout Texas (yes, i stole the pancakes that my wife ordered). I will definitely be taking my family back to the cafe regardless of whether we stay at the hotel or not. 6 out of 5 stars.

Favorite Nac spot. Always friendly and good. Great menu and drinks!

You know the Trifecttta appetizer and my salad all of it looked fancy and ILOVED THE DRESSING house vinaigrette Good service just right. Enjoyed it all. Our server was very polite and helpful. Because I spilled my drink she didnt hesitate to help or ask questions she was quick about getting it cleaned up. Big servings as well. I didnt get a picture main dish it was very filling Chicken fried steak and the broccoli was Awesome !!!

Enjoyed the food. Very clean dinning room. We came just for dessert, and got the bread pudding and the blackberry cobbler. They said the bread pudding was the favorite, but I thought it was too mushy. The cobbler was nice. It seems that this was one of 3 restaurants at one hotel, and they all looked good. The portions for dessert are clearly large enough to share.

Great atmosphere, great quality, country yet modern food, huge portions. Everything we had was very decadent and rich, from the yogurt to the potatoes to the jalapeño grits. If you love a good hearty breakfast full of flavor and no shortage of butter, this Texas breakfast is what you're looking for!

This dinner experience was top-notch. Our appetizer (the trifecta) and main courses (prime rib and beef medallions) were incredibly well prepared and presented, our drinks were served on time and serviced as expected, and the dessert (apple crisp) was delightful. Our server was very professional, detail oriented, and not overbearing. Overall I was genuinely impressed with the restaurant altogether and look forward to our next visit. My wife and I are also excited about the opening of Republic Steak House, which will undoubtedly compliment this already pleasing dining experience The Fredonia Hotel has created in 1st City Cafe.
