We got to go to the Big Cup Eatery on the day we left Oakdale RV Park which lays claim to having the biggest biscuits in Texas. Well, how could I not try one of those? I ordered the Southern Plate which incorporates said gigantic biscuit and I can attest to the sheer size of this thing. The dish includes two eggs, hash browns and country sausage gravy in a big pile of carbohydrates. And I freaking loved it. The flavor was good enough that I didn’t salt it which is saying something. My better half had the Quesadilla burger which was about $10 and is a big burger in a tortilla. She ordered hers with seasoned fries on the side. Also very good. The service was friendly and prompt and the food arrived in a timely fashion. I thought the place was clean and friendly and the prices were really fair for all the food we got. Overall two thumbs up on Big Cup Eatery. Yum-o!

Well we have been sitting here for 30 minutes waiting for our food... that seems a bit much, it's not that busy. It just showed up, there are 6 of us. Eating and it's delicious!! Totally worth the wait. I especially love that they give you the option to have avocado as your side. Their grilled veggies are scrumptious I will definitely be back again!!

Was seated almost immediately when I arrived for lunch with a friend. Service was pleasant and quick. I had fried catfish with french fries and the catfish was VERY GOOD! The meal included two fillets and a generous portion of fries that were tasty. My friend had shrimp tacos which he enjoyed and our total bill was $28 but with both only had water. The atmosphere was fine, nothing upscale but very comfortable and clean. Highly recommend

We tried The Big Cup Eatery for lunch and the Littles were in the mood for a burger and they enjoyed it. Mrs. Flip Out tried the club sandwich and it was good. I had the beef enchiladas. The service was great and our waitress was friendly and attentive.

Southerner through and through, and this reminds me of quite a few cafes I’m accustomed to in my home state of Georgia. Though, I admit that the Mexican cuisine in the mix is new to me. I’ll start with the good. The chicken fried steak got rave reviews by one reviewer here and that was the sole reason I tried it. I’m not normally a top fan of the meal myself, but this one won me over. It is spectacular. Delicious! Crispy! Flavorful! Absolutely the best meal I’ve had in Texas. My son enjoyed his a la carte tacos, which are simple enough and hard to mess up, I imagine. My daughter enjoyed her Mickey pancake, but yearned for more. I’d say the portion size is a bit small. Now the okay: There were criticisms of the biscuit, so I was sure to try it. The flavor was good (I’m sensitive to baking powder/soda, and there was none of that), but the texture was too crumbly and the bottom was soggy from sitting in the pan too long, I imagine. The burger was good enough. Not particularly flavorful or enough to write home about. The service was fine. The young man who served us was nice enough, but didn’t come to check on us after our meal was served. He also didn’t refill our beverages as much as we would have liked. Whenever I spoke to him, he would start to walk away before I could finish my sentence or before anyone else in the party could speak. Thus, he’d bring a drink only to have to go back and bring a drink, and then do it again and again, rather than asking the table who needed a refill. Parts of our meal were forgotten (like the bread roll that was supposed to come with my meal, and the milk that was supposed to come with my daughter’s) and he took so long to check on us that our meal was practically over by the time we could ask for it. The bad: Maybe this is more of a criticism of Texas—but why are we putting yellow velveeta cheese on Mexican food? That is decidedly awful and doesn’t taste good. Queso is not velveeta. My MIL enjoyed the meal, minus the plastic topping. Overall: It was good enough. There is an extensive menu with options for lunch and seniors, which was nice. The atmosphere is eclectic and a little odd—like a cross between boomer’s living room and a 90s Pizza Hut. We would certainly give it another go—but this time we would all order the chicken fried steak.

Headed home from Fort Worth on Hwy 281, we passed right by this place. We decided to try it and weren’t disappointed. The server was super sweet and told us all about the menu. I got the Chicken Fried Steak plate (of course) and my wife got the Cheeseburger combo. We were also offered chips and salsa. Chicken Fried Steak 8/10 - the CFS was pretty damn good! The only thing I would have changed was to cook it a wee bit longer to get the crust a tad crispier. The flavor was great though and it was tender enough. The gravy was good as well. The Mashed Potatoes were homemade and whipped fine. The Fried Okra as average. Cheeseburger 9/10 - my said it was one of the best burgers she’s ever had. She got it with a homemade Jalapeño bun, with all the fixings. It came with Seasoned French Fries which were delicious. The patty was thick and the veggies were fresh. Great combo if you ask me. Chips and Salsa 5/10 - the salsa was ok, nothing spectacular. Chips were just ok as well. It was a decent appetizer. Service 9/10 - Josie was our server and was phenomenal. Very attentive and helpful. Wish there were more like her!! Atmosphere 7/10 - the restaurant was a little older, but cozy enough. Several rooms in which to sit. It was next to an older motel, with plenty of parking. Overall 8/10 - if we ever come that way again, the do breakfast all day and I’m definitely doing that too. I highly recommend the Big Cup Eatery when in Glen Rose, Texas!

A good place for breakfast. They advertise their "big" biscuits. The biscuits are indeed big, very big! I ordered the Breakfast Chilaquiles Plate and it was fabulous! Overall, the food was really good and the waitress was very friendly and helpful. The only draw back was the service was very slow. The waitress seemed to have a lot of customers to serve. Regardless, this is still a good place for breakfast.

The food was delicious! \nIt just took a really long time. \nI loved the country fried steak and eggs and my family loved their meals as well. \nI do wish service was a bit quicker.

They were open, 2/3 of town not open. :(\nBut it was good food and friendly staff. I had the big cup burrito, delish.\nNow I'm glad the others were closed.

They have a good menu, and they make the items well. The chicken I had was fantastic. My picky eater had the bean and cheese burrito, and she finished it and the beans pretty quickly.

We had a one night stay in Glen Rose. Seeing the reviews, we landed here for breakfast. If you want just good ‘ol bacon and eggs, this isn’t your place. Well, unless you want to pay $13 for it. They …

We went into this restaurant on impulse. My wife judged the tortilla soup to be excellent and my basic club sandwich was just right.

I’m not exactly sure what has happened with this place but we go here quite often and it has steadily gone downhill. Today we were quickly seated and quickly given our drinks and quickly were able to give our food order but then it took 40 minutes for a simple omelette and club sandwich to be brought to our table. The omelette was room temperature and then our waiter disappeared until he brought the check. Two other couples in the restaurant were furious with the same service and one of those couples got up and left because it took so long for their food to be brought out. It’s really sad, we love this place, but we definitely will not be back near as often if at all.

I had the club sandwich which was drowning in mayonnaise and would not stay together when I was trying to eat it. I also had waffle fries and I asked for a side of mayo for them. The server may have gotten confused and just put extra mayo on my sandwich but I could not eat it. We also had a garden salad with added grilled chicken and the serving was huge. Complimentary chips and salsa.

For context, I brought my mom in the restaurant after immunotherapy for breakfast on 1/15. She uses a battery pack oxygen concentrator. We knew she had plenty of battery left to have breakfast before we would need to plug it in to the car charger. We came in, were seated right away. There was a table of 10 that were still arriving nearby and had not ordered. We placed our order, then waited. And waited. And waited. After about 40 minutes, plates of food come out - for the table of 10. Then for the booth next to them who also came in after us. Our server came by and said our food is almost ready. About 5-6 minutes later, my plate comes out. Not mom’s. Hers is again “almost ready.” My food got cold, hers didn’t get served. We got up, and I told an older man who was serving the table of ten that we were going to just go. I wasn’t ugly or confrontational. My mom was tired, and had 4% battery left on her oxygen. His only response was, “OK.” That’s it. We get out to the car, and the server comes running out telling us the food is ready. We told her no thanks, we’ll just leave. So, I can’t rate the food, but the service (not from the waitress, she was trying), was terrible. We pass by there every 3 weeks when she goes to her cancer therapy, but we’ll find other places to eat in town.

We go here every year after we have our reunion to have breakfast and say our goodbyes. Our reservations were for 10am. There were some other groups that came in that were alittle smaller so we rea…
