Food was inexpensive, service was gracious, servings were huge. While the place seems wide open and large, they use electronic ordering handheld devices to ensure accuracy and speed preparation. The food was visually appealing, specifically the M&M chicken (mozzerella and marinara). The vegetables were a nice complement to the meal and you get three with a lunch order. While my... More

You may have to stand in line, but it moves very quick and it's worth the wait. Great down home food that sticks to your ribs. Eggs Benedict are the best in the DFW area! More

Go here for comfort food. The chicken fried steak is good as is the breakfast entrees. Stay away from the burgers. Service is fast, friendly and efficient and prices are good for entree and veggie plate. More

We ate our first breakfast in Plano here because we read that it was a good café. We ended up eating all our breakfasts here during our stay because the food was delicious, cooked exactly how we ordered it, they gave us glasses of water without being asked, they came around with coffee regularly, the food came quickly, there was...

We went to Poor Richard's Cafe to celebrate with family and friends. My daughter wanted to take us "someplace different" during our visit in the Dallas area. We were a large group (15) and we had reservations with a request for a private area. They seated us in a back area, where it was open to the rest of the... More

The staff is friendly and efficient and work together as a team Service is excellent, the place is clean and comfortable, and prices... More

If you like home-cookin' and prefer meat-and-three to see-and-be-seen, then this place is for you. Superior fried chicken on Monday's and chicken-n-dumplings on Tuesdays are especially good. Service is fast and friendly, the food is good, the table is clean, and the bill is light. What more can you ask for? More
