Old River City Cafe - Cafe in New Braunfels - 2771 FM725, USA

We had River City cater our wedding and they did such an amazing job! We are so grateful for how easy they made the dinner at our wedding. Everything was so delicious!!

Wow. Just wow. This was such a wonderful experience. When we got to the Cafe, it was not busy and we were immediately seated by friendly staff. We chose to sit outside and it was like walking into grandma's backyard in the absolute best way possible. There were so many outdoor games like chess, corn hole and giant beer pong. All the food came out so fast but was also incredibly delicious. Our server was so fun and had some great suggestions. I already can't wait to come back again!

UPDATE: This location burned down a few months ago. I am sad our favorite local eatery is gone. They are catering events and planning to rebuild and reopen, but it is going to be a while. Previous Review: The beer-battered catfish is wonderful. And on Saturdays, they have a corn meal catfish special. The place has great service and lots of good food. Texas toothpicks are fried jalapeños and onions and the spinach artichoke dip is my favorite. I do not recommend the Mac N Cheese. But everything else I have tried is delicious. My server is ALWAYS kind and it’s a really cute little place. Yes, stop here and try it. We always leave satisfied. Highly recommend!

This might just be our new "go to" place. Our food was delicious and we were pleased with the quantity and quality of the food. Our server, Holly, was quit pleasant and informative. She made us feel at home. We were there on a busy Sunday, still were seated right away and bing, Holly was right there. Quick with our drinks and surprisingly fast with our order. What was supposed to be hot was hot, what was supposed to be cold was cold. We all had the chicken fried steak. My wife and I had the breakfast version and our son had the small lunch version. Side note, The small lunch version of the CFS, looks to be the same size as our breakfast version of the CFS. Many different choices as your sides. Too many to list here, but we both chose the cheesy breakfast hash browns, my wife with toast and green beans. I had fruit with biscuits and gravy. Our son with green beans and mashed potatoes. We topped it off with peach cobbler a la mode. It all was good.Man O man, what else could we ask for? Oh yes, live entertainment and pictures in the water garden out back! We had a fun filled lunch/brunch! Thanks!

My wife had the grilled chicken burger I had the Sunrise Swiss. Both great taste and the potatoes were cut different but they were so good. The staff is just a bunch of lovely folks, we will definitely be going back.

Highly recommend. Great home cooking and very good service. This place gets busy for a reason - a lot of good food. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Everything on the menu is good but the Eggs Benedict, French Toast with Fruit and Sunday Sampler are great starts to the day. The Chicken Fried Steak and Grilled burger are tasty and focused on quality over quantity (something to take note of). The Smokin Salad or BLAT (bacon-lettuce-avocado-tomato) sandwich are terrific also. All sides are classic and great. They have a kids menu that includes PB&J. Look for the green and white sign off FM 725 south east of New Braunfels. This is a casual place but get there early and don't hit the parking lot cat.

It was ok. Had the all you can eat catfish. A bit flavorless but still not bad. Wouldn't let me switch sides which is silly after paying 15 bucks for the meal. I could go to a buffet for less and switch all the sides i want. Very nice server and refills were quick. I probably won't be back. Too many better restaurants around.

Great service and great food. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it is cute and a nice atmosphere on the inside. The back patio area was very nice especially if you have any concerns about inside dining. They serve a limited alcohol menu but we were fine with that. Would definitely recommend.
