I was visiting from Houston, and was looking for a place to eat breakfast. Everything was great. I had the ham and cheese omelet with gritz and hashbrowns.The gritz could've been a little better and I definitely recommend the pan sausage, it was great! My friend had 2 overeasy eggs, pancakes, and pan sausage with bacon. Pancakes were fluffy and flavorful. Our waitress was the older lady and she was such a sweetheart. The only downside to this establishment is that it is cash only. I didn't pay attention to the sign on the door before entering so that was my fault. Luckily there was an ATM at the local bank across the street.

Busy, quaint, & friendly with great lunch options including home-style meals such as turkey & dressing on Friday to excellent juicy burgers. Different specials everyday. Family-owned for 50 years. Exceptionally busy from noon to 1pm. Recommend sneaking in around 11 if possible.

My brother and I stopped on our way to Houston. We were pleasantly surprised with the menu prices. The service and atmosphere brought back memories of our youth eating at a local mom and pop cafe!

Ever want your grandma's cooking? This is probably the closest you will get without it being your actual grandma. I have been here several times now and every time it's as good as the last if not better. Make sure you have cash because they don't take any form of plastic

Santa Fe Cafe is good food for a good price. Love that the daily special is $10 for the entrée, a drink and desert. Everyone in the cafe seems happy to be there, the staff has personality. The line can be long but it moves quick. Inside feels like a diner. Update 2025 - food is still good, had the meatloaf today, price has gone up, $12. Worth it!!

What a wonderful, down home restaurant! Full of regulars that are welcomed by name. We both had the Denver omelets and coffee, and they were delicious. We will definitely be returning every time we visit Brenham. Bring cash, but prices are affordable.
