Always a great experience in Brenham and Independence Texas! Had lunch about 1 PM on a Monday and was very pleased. The staff was friendly and pleasant. A great place to have fun and lunch as you travel back to the fifty’s. Music on the “juke box” was from the fifty’s and the food tasted homemade. I ate indoors at... More

We arrived Sat. 12:30 and elected a table out on the patio rather than waiting for a table in the diner. Inside would have been more fun, but we watched the turtles and fish in the pond and the occassional airplanes fly out. The staff was pleasant if hurried and the food was good. We both had hamburgers and onion... More

I had lunch at the diner today with a group of friends. We had a great waitress, and all of the girls were dressed really cute in their poodle skirts an saddle oxfords. I had the meatloaf an homemade mashed potatoes. Really excellent. Others at our table had burgers, fried catfish, meatloaf sandwich. The homemade onion rings looked really good.... More

This was our second time to eat here; but if anything it was a better experience the 2nd time. Staff very friendly and hoping around in their poodle skirts. Sitting out on the deck watching WW2 vintage planes fly around in formation, land and take off; as well as the other small planes and helicopters that were doing their thing... More

We went on a weekend during Spring Break, so there was quite a wait, but my 2 and 4 year old enjoyed hanging around outside watching the small planes and helicopters take off. The food was tasty, solid diner food. We will be back, hopefully when it is less crowded so that we can sit outside.

They serve Breakfast and lunch. Very busy with the servers hopping to stay ahead of the orders. People are friendly at the casual diner. It can be a good place to take the kids and grandkids to eat and watch the planes coming and going.

Many of the visitors to this fifties throw-back fly their small planes to the Brenham airport just to have lunch. But if you're already enjoying the square, take the short drive north to have classics like chicken fried steak, burgers and shakes. You can sit outside on the deck and watch the planes under an umbrella while you nibble the... More

Had never been here before, but an old flyer friend of mine told me about flying into Brenham for lunch. He would always meet a few buddies and then fly home. We spent the day in Brenham and I decided to give it a try. The burgers and milkshake where good, not close to gourmet or even Red Robin, but... More

Great hamburgers and onion rings! We arrived on a Saturday afternoon around 2pm and the lunch rush was just ending. They are only open for lunch, 11am-3pm. Every table was full with lots of smiling guests - families, bikers, locals, pilots who had just flown in for lunch, and out-of-towners like us. We would have enjoyed sitting in the screened... More
