Cleburne Cafeteria exists in the same cinematic universe as your local Luby’s. The West University spot has been around since the ‘40s, and walking in, you get the sense that everyone has been coming here with their families for years. The cafeteria has a sea of plastic trays leading to the food assembly line. But instead of your typical chocolate milk and fish sticks, Cleburne serves hefty pieces of cod and mounds of smooth mashed potatoes protecting pools of rich gravy. By the time you make it to the end of the serving line, you’ll have to make the tough decision between a slice of pecan pie and a quarter-pound of blueberry cake. And when you’re finally in the dining room tearing into chicken fried steak, you’ll get hit by the nostalgia of this classic restaurant and be thankful for the pause in time.
