June 22, 2016. Harper, Texas. The Longhorn Cafe.

The Longhorn Cafe has been in Harper for many many years.  We have dined there since 2001 when we moved here.  Finally, the present owners have turned it into a rousing success.  When we stopped for lunch on the way back from Fredericksburg the place was full.  Every table was full.  Fortunately, a couple left so we could be seated.  The owners own a restaurant in Kerrville so they know how to be successful.  In the old days, the food took ages to bring.  Now the cook is quick and the two wait staff hustle.  The decor has changed too, all for the better.

The parking lot has paved with rustic fencing around the lots.  And a new sign was installed.  The whole place has an atmosphere of success.  Every day they have a special, which Ken and I always order.  The food is not fine dining, such as the Italian restaurant in Startsville, but it is nourishing and tasty.  The most important thing is that it stays open in Harper, in our little town close to the ranch.  It is the only place in town.  Fortunately, we like it and so do a lot of other people.  Hurrah for the new owners.  They know how to run a successful restaurant.  It is a pleasure seeing it in operation.
