Sunny Delight

This was on my bucket list of places to eat. I can say hands down the best comfort food. They do serve a lot so you will end up taking a lot back home. Come hungry 😋

The food here is excellent! Tastes like it’s straight out of your grandmother’s kitchen! The food is served cafeteria style like Luby’s. The turkey was very moist & the dressing and gravy was delicious as well! The desserts here are out of this world! The blueberry dream cake was very light & fluffy & not overly sweet, the blueberries were huge! I will keep coming here over & over again for years to come!

First time visiting... All entrees, sides, bread are bought separately. Son and I shared since portions were generous. Desserts, large slices for several to share and were about $6. Food was good, would recommend everyone to visit and try for themselves. Has a server pushing a cart for refills, just like the old days.

The cleburne cafeteria came across my Instagram feed and I was trying to make a decision where to take my husband for his 67th birthday. He enjoys the cafeteria experience, but Lubys was not the place to take him so we were joined by two friends and we went after church on a Sunday and on Sunday they serve prime rib. The portion was huge and The best prime rib out there hands-down there was two of us two slices of roast beef and about 10 sides and a dessert two drinks for $135 considering the portions considering the quality of the food well worth the prize. The atmosphere was great there were people from all walk of life Enjoying their time after church and their Sunday finery plenty of people to people watch definitely would recommend coming and enjoying everything about the cleburne

First time trying this spot. The turkey was amazing. Very juicy and flavorful. I wish the receipts would show itemized prices. Was caught off guard by the $80 bill. But must say food was awesome.

My maiden voyage to Cleburne Cafeteria was great!! Went with a couple friends and we had a great time. The food was good, was it pricey? I don’t feel like you can overprice truly good food! The portion size was ridiculous!! I’m a good way. I’ll be eating prime rib for 3 days. Parking was easy and plentiful and people watching was top of the line. I’ll be back!

First time visit and my family member and I went for lunch. There isn’t anything I did not like. I love that we found parking. I loved the atmosphere. I love that you get to see and choose what you would like to eat and I loved all the different varieties of entrees and sides. It is a little pricey, but I think it is worth it. So many different types of cake desserts. Staff is so kind and helpful. Food is delicious and my family and I will definitely be back soon.

Delicious home cooked cafeteria fare but way above average cafeterias. Impressive portions and the pink lemonade took me back to my childhood for some reason!

I started coming to Cleburne's this year around January. I have been trying all their dishes and so far my favorites are the Turkey and Dressing, Baked Chicken and Rice, and Cheesesteak. Today I had Roast Beef with Natural Gravy, which now is a favorite. They also have delicious sides and salads. I have never tried the desserts, but will do soon. I love how they have someone walking around serving water and tea. The staff is so respectful and anxious to assist you. Although, I can't say the same thing for the lady boss. Thank goodness the food is gpod and the staff is nice, otherwise I would not bother coming. Cleburne is also a beautiful place to have a meal.

On today’s review lunch menu- Cleburne Cafeteria. I was in need of a mid-day meal and since I was in the area I stopped by. The building itself was gorgeous, new, and the Christmas tree is stunning! (very festive) I wish I felt that giddy about their food. The line ran quickly and everyone behind the counter had a “rush” mentality. I was appalled by their $4.95 for ONE devil egg!!! The portions are of generous size but the taste is extremely bland and mediocre. I was not impressed with spending (almost 40$) for “at best” a $15 meal. My time at the table was met with zero waitstaff as well. I will not recommend a try but I’ll leave that to you. Happy Eating 🍽️

12/2/2025: I like cafeterias. I was raised on them with my grandparents, so they hold a special memory for my taste buds. Cleburne definitely has great service and large portions, but I wasn't crazy about the food. My fish, casserole, mushrooms, and tea were $25.89! Yes, the portions are large, but they were so large I could not finish them and I had plans after, so I could not take my leftovers. I wouldn't have anyway because they would heat well. So, for my money side, I was not impressed. The fish is not even close to being as good as Luby's, the casserole was made with fresh green beans, so it was a little firm, and the mushroom were a little lacking in flavor. They don't have a lot of options like other cafeterias. It was very basic on the sides options. They have okra, but it is not fried okra. I wasn't impressed, so I am giving them 3 stars.

First time here it’s def overwhelming bc there’s so many options & they kinda rushed us in the line. I would def look at the menu beforehand since it’s very fast paced. Food could’ve had more flavor, kinda bland. Put salt on everything. I loved the salad, mac n cheese, green bean casserole. Stuffing & Gravy on the turkey no flavor:( roast beef was room temp not hot at all. Pricing def adds up 2 ppl with entree & 2-3 sides $65

Food is cafeteria style. I could say it's an upscale Lubys. They do have delicious desserts. Wait staff is nice and they can get busy when you go at lunch hour.

My dad's friend suggested we go here since we were going to Houston. So we tried it out. If you're not familiar with Houston's highways I would strongly suggest taking the street route. Lovely building/atmosphere. Food-meh. It was cold..all of it. We all had the fish, green beans, rolls. What did stand out was the cakes! I had the strawberry or pink cake-dangerously delicious! Their portions are huge and yes each side is an additional charge. For the 3 of us it was roughly $80. Luby's is better. Sorry, not sorry.

My wife and I are first time patrons. We thought we would try it out after morning doctors appointment. The food looked good as we were standing in line. We both went with chicken fried steak and white gravy. She had green beans and I had mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. It looked really good until we started to eat. My wife’s CFS was mostly grissle. Mine was ok. But all the food was lukewarm at best. This lunch was definitely not worth $62.00 for two people. We brought our leftovers home, but ended up in the trash. So we learned an expensive lesson today. Since we are on a fixed income, our next lunch outing will be someplace that has better food for the money.

Food is super expensive and everything lacks salt/flavor (probably intentional due to the senior clientele). Blandness is very akin to hospital food where they don't add salt bc some patients are o…
