October 14, 2016. Harper, Texas. A Special Lunch.

All four of us felt that we were having a special lunch but in truth, we ate lunch at The Longhorn Cafe, which is anything but fancy.  Tomorrow morning,  Ken and I go to San Antonio for the weekend, then  on to the lake for the rest of the week.   When we return to the ranch, Robbie and Joyce soon leave for Playa Royale, in Nuevo Vallarta so we will not see much of them on our Texas visit this time.  I invited them out to lunch.  Today was the day.  I had intended to try one of the new elegant restaurants in Fredericksburg, but as we had already driven that path twice this week, we decided to stay close at home.

The Longhorn Cafe is popping with activity.  The place is busy.  They have improved and expanded their parking lots and installed a new fancy sign.  Every day they serve one special meat.  You chose two from their list of side dishes.  The meal comes with iced tea and a pop over roll.  All this for $9.00. The food is good and the service quick.

While we were in town, Robbie, who was driving, took us to the post office to pick up our 2 packages so we killed two birds with one stone.  The weather was beautiful and when they picked us up just before noon we were all in good spirits, pleased to be together and happy to be eating reliably good food.   Robbie comment today that they have never had a bad meal at The Longhorn Cafe.  Pretty high praise for this simple place.  And a perfect choice for a special lunch with our friends, Joyce and Robbie.
