Tex's Cafe

Great small town feel diner, friendly and quick service, keep an eye on their Facebook for specials

Tex's cafe hit the spot for our family. It's a great way to get your day started. Great food how you like it, and friendly service. Would stop again the next time I go to Kearney, NE.

Kearney, Nebraska - the atmosphere of the “Tex’s Cafe” 1952 era “diner” is authentic - from the cabinet fixtures, the ceiling tiles, the floor tiles, equipment & accessories … the service is super-riffic and the food is tasty-riffic - super-servers like “Danielle” & “Cat” (and servers before them) serve up my breakfast & lunch meals each visit with a smile … “Tex’s Cafe” offers the feel of a place that has “Been There, Seen It, Done It!” featuring customers that give the true spirit of a village … the wisdoms of the elders surrounded me and shared lots of “back in my day” stories that had my complete attention .. the stories and interactions made me confident I would know about many locals in the “Village of Kearney” within a short time by eating my tasty-riffic breakfast & lunch meals here on a routine basis … “Tex’s Cafe” is a “Run-A-Way Bill” Favorite diner and has been my personal favorite place to eat when visiting Kearney since 2017 .. “Run-A-Way Bill” was here! … and will return 05.15.25

This diner is a happy step back into Americana. No fast food, but food is on time, tasty and priced right. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and happy to visit for a bit. This is where the locals go, that says a lot! I had corned beef hash and eggs, my partner has a great Western omelet. Worth skipping the chain restaurants!

The food was edible but not enjoyable. Everything needed more seasoning. It seemed a lot of people got the specials so maybe that is the way to go. We ordered from the menu. Not sure I will be back. My experience would have been better had they used the salt shaker more.
