The Breakfast Hut

Omgoodness my new favorite place. Food has flavor! The kindness/love that we received was put the food. I could eat her green beans all day long

If ever I had a better onion ring I don't remember them. Everything was great and all the staff was so friendly.

stopped here while driving from wisconsin to texas and had an absolutely perfect experience. the restaurant is spotlessly clean, the service is friendly and very quick, and the food was all excellent. every bite was served freshly cooked, piping hot, and expertly seasoned. even the simple vegetable sides were somehow the best i’ve ever had. the desserts were also delicious and tasted homemade. prices were very reasonable—cash preferred! worth a stop if traveling through texarkana and also worth going out of your way for simple, classic home cooking done in exactly right. really a special place.

This was so delicious! I loved every bite. Everyone was friendly, the food was tasty, and I even got a sweet tea to go. Also, I love their shirts; I wish they were available for purchase.

Wow! Best home cooking diner I’ve ever visited. Food was prepared with love, hot, and taste was amazing. Staff is some of the best in the business, friendly and it shows they love their customers! I highly recommend this diner anytime you’re in town. I live in Canton, TX., and come here for business, this will be my lunch spot going forward.

I’ve heard good things about this restaurant for awhile from family so I decided to finally try it. It did not disappoint. The soul food was delicious and reasonably priced for this economy. The staff were very polite. I had the smothered pork chop with two sides of mash potatoes and cornbread casserole and a biscuit. The cornbread casserole was particularly tasty. They seem to rotate the menu daily. In total it was a little over $12 without the tip

I'm not a local (I'm from a couple hours away in Oklahoma) but this is one of those places mostly locals know about unless you find out about from a place like this. It's absolutely a hidden gem! I was in a group of six and everyone picked either the Friday catfish or the country fried (chicken fried) steak. We had a variety of different side items. We were ALL impressed with our choices. My country fried steak was EXCELLENT! The gravy can make or break this item - the gravy was perfect. The green beans were so good it had me searching the juice at the bottom of the bowl to make sure I hadn't missed a piece. Genuine mashed potatoes too. It was all just as good as you could hope for! The service was right up there at the top too - we didn't need for anything. Everyone was very nice obviously care about their customers. Our plates didn't arrive at the same time, but within a minute or two of each other - because they are really cooking in the back and it shows. It's also not a complete budget buster to eat at Mother Kelley's - I was wondering how they were selling a few of the items on the menu for the very reasonable prices. The building doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside (I'm wondering if it used to be something like a real estate or insurance office) and I've definitely driven past it many, many times and never noticed the place before. This is one place that WAY over delivered on what I was hoping for. I'm ready for my next visit and I just ate lunch there TODAY. Thanks everyone there! THUMBS UP!!!

This place is BOMB! I got the chicken fried steak w/white gravy, black eyed peas, mashed potatoes w/gravy and hot water cornbread. Finished it off with a delicious tea cake. It was absolutely delicious. The fam got beef tips over rice plate. It was very tender and flavorful. The service there was great and very nice atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back and try other things on the menu.

Oh my God, the food was astronomically good. Worth checking out.

Once again Mother Kelley's did not disappoint. We were greeted before we both got through the door. The dining area is welcoming and spotless. After we decided which of the appetizing dishes we wanted, our order was taken at the desk and our experience got started. We chose our table where our server quickly brought our drinks and utensils. Our dinners were fast to follow. I love mashed potatoes with gravy so I had to have a bite as soon as my plate was on the table. I thought I heard harp music when I took that bite. I also had the most delicious fried okra and chicken fried steak that I have had probably since the last time I ate at Mother Kelley's. The steak had a beautiful crust and the meat was tender. Our drinks were refilled and we were offered carry out drinks which we accepted along with a carry out container for my companion. Before we got to the door we were invited back by the staff. I had enjoyed one of those meals that you don't want to end. We went before the noon rush so we had all the time we wanted to enjoy our meals; however, at noon there is a waiting line for a table. My advice is to go before the rush. You can wait until after the rush, but you risk finding your favorite daily special sold out.

The BEST fried catfish I have ever had! Service was friendly and fast! The food was amazing. I’ll make this drive from Austin, TX all over again! I will be back! Thank you ladies and gentlemen for such a wonderful meal!

I don’t normally write reviews, but these ladies truly deserve it. The food was great—fresh, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for! The staff were so friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend stopping by if you want good food and genuinely kind service. I’ll definitely be back!

I had chicken fried chicken - juicy, crispy and tender... potatoes and gravy - flavorful.. candied carrots - wonderful. Great portions and price is good. Staff was welcoming, friendly. Dining was clean and inviting. Traveling through the area but would definitely come back.

Traveling through the area, looking for some home cooking; I found it here- the chicken fried chicken with the white gravy was delicious, everyone was so friendly. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop in and break bread.

The food here is fresh and well-prepared. We had country fried steak - it was delicious and prepared with cube steaks - not the frozen planks that others are serving! We'll definitely be back.

Passed through Texarkana while traveling and wanted a "hometown" restaurant. This place is absolutely amazing! The staff were kind, the atmosphere uplifting, and the food was incredible! Highly recommend! 🙌🍽️

Mother Kelly’s never fails to impress. The food is amazing, there are plenty of options always available, and the staff are really nice. If you haven’t been here before, make sure you stop by. You won’t regret it.

My family and I stopped by on our vacation just now and we are SO satisfied and blessed with our experience! Food was like your first breath of life in every bite. Those charming young lady’s know how to cook! We already settled on the idea of stopping back in on our way back home and I’m going to convince them to move back with us. I love mother Kelley’s!

We were visiting from out of town and looking for a good soul food restaurant. Since we had been in town we had spent a lot of money but the food haven't been good. This place was cozy,, food was good, they have a set meal for today, back home we're use to more options, food was good, the waitress was kind and when I asked who was Mother Kelley, she did know the history of the establishment, which is important. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling, it was a home atmosphere.

The young lady that answered the phone before we went was very helpful and answered my questions with a smile. The young man that took our order had a dry demeanor. The food was good, but it would have been perfect if it was hot. I sent my macaroni back to get heated up but we really should have sent all 3 plates to be heated more. It was lukewarm. Overall we will go back if passing through again to give it another try.
