ABOUT ROYERS ROUND TOP CAFÉ

The café has been here since 1946 and we took it over in 1987 and are the third family to run it. When we took it over it was pretty much a country restaurant serving mainly burgers and beer. Our menu has evolved over the years as we have grown and evolved ourselves. It took us a year or so to realize that our customer was from the city as much of the area is populated with second homes of folks from Houston and Austin. The café is often the “meeting place” for families as Round Top is so centrally located to Houston, Austin and San Antonio. We have been so fortunate to grow up with customers’ families as they have grown over these past 20 years. The café is a place to “bread break”. It is so much more than the food. Yes, the food and service have to be on the money but it is also about the experience and the relationships. Be sure to read the whole article about Karen which pretty much tells the family and café story (and there is a bit more to come…)

Good Eatin': We serve contemporary comfort food from a Grilled Shrimp BLT on Jalapeno Sourdough Bread to Grilled Pork Tenderloin with a Peach N’ Pepper Glaze to “THE GREAT STEAK” which is a 10 oz. center cut filet that you cut with a fork and runs rings around Ruth Chris’s, Sullivan’s and Bob’s Chop House in Dallas! In addition we have a wine list of more than 60 wines and of course we serve an awesome handmade pies topped with ice cream.

Priority Seating: The cafe seats about 40 people, so give us a call on the day when you want to come in and we’ll put your name on our “Priority Seating List” and you’ll be that further up on the list if there is a wait. VERY RARELY IS THERE A WAIT MUCH MORE THAN 10-15 MINUTES. No, there is not a wait like most folk think there is…. It’s that darn “perception is reality!” So when you see a large group of 8 on the front porch they are either leaving or more waiting for one of the 2 tables where we can seat a party of that size. So in most cases there are plenty of other tables open for smaller parties. PLEAS don't drive by a “assume” that there is a wait! Of course during the Antique Week it is a different story. And remember as the sign says “if you got a reservation you are in the wrong place!”

Dress Code: Real simple…..SPEND MONEY!!! No Pants, No Shirt…No Problem! Except for 70 year old men in Spandex...this is a family establishment!

Directions: If you need directions, you can find them here.
