This little place with a big patio overlooking the Katy Trail serves up local, organic, fresh fare, but we aren’t talking just veggies or dainty salads or dull gluten-free breads. No. Here you are going to find thick, juicy steaks and mashed potatoes and what is rumored to be the best chicken fried steak around (it is gluten free, but you’d never know it).
Company Café opens at 7 a.m. Saturdays for breakfast, which was my first experience.
Because I’m on a bit of a health kick, I tried the Veggie RX, an fresh and light open-faced three egg cage-free omelet layered with black beans and sautéed seasonal vegetables sided with organic salsa ($9), but I did sneak in a few bites of my buddy’s Robert’s Silver Dollar buttermilk pancakes (12 cakes for $6). They were fluffy and moist and soaked up that real maple syrup like a delicious sponge.
For those with a special diet — vegan, vegetarian, selective omnivore or gluten free — this place offers plenty of attractive options.
They also have some interesting drink selections such as kombucha tea and coconut water, not to mention personal French press coffee, if you like.
All of the beef and produce at Company Café comes from Texas. Some of the suppliers, such as Impact Foods offering gluten-free granola, are philanthropic, giving a portion of their profits to hungry people.
There are two locations: 2217 Greenville Avenue (214.827.2233) and 3136 Routh (214.468.8721), which is the Katy Trail location.
Mon. – Thu. 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. Fri. 7a.m. – 11PM Sat. 8 a.m. – 11 p.m. Sun. 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.
