This old place is now brand new, and what is even better, the food is good. Yesterday afternoon, our friends Joyce and Robbie called to join them for dinner at the Longhorn Cafe in Harper, our closest town.
The town itself is shrinking even though the population in the surrounding area is increasing. But the Longhorn Cafe has been serving food for years. Since we have lived here, four different owners have purchased it and even though they changed the menu, the decor and furnishings never changed. Same walls, same tables, same pictures, same lackluster food.
But not anymore. The new owners shut the place down while they renovated, inside and out. The restaurant has a full sized longhorn in a pen, lending some authenticity. Instead of paint, the upper walls are covered with metal roofing and the lower walls painted turquoise. The new owners own and run a successful restaurant in Kerrville, so the Longhorn Cafe is their second place. From the looks of the crowd on a Tuesday evening, I believe the new Longhorn Cafe will be a success. I for one am delighted to find good food close to home and I was especially delighted because Joyce and Robbie paid the bill!! We are very fortunate to have such good friends.
