The Lost Maples Café is located downtown in Utopia, Texas. Not only are you always greeted with a friendly hello and lovely smile as you walk through the door, but you also quickly realize this is the exact spot you want to be while visiting small-town Texas.

Dakota was our server and did a wonderful job! I recommend you ask for her personally!!!

Below are the menu items we enjoyed…

2 Egg Breakfast w/ Bacon and Biscuit w/ Sausage Gravy

2 Egg Breakfast w/ Bacon and Biscuit w/ Sausage Gravy

Chicken Fried Steak w/ Cream Gravy, Baked Potato, Side Salad and Texas Toast

12 Oz. Rib-Eye w/ Baked Potato, Side Salad and Texas Toast

Fried Fish Entrée w/ Onion Rings, Side Salad and Texas Toast

Deluxe Mexican Dinner (2 Enchiladas, Beef Taco and Rice / Beans)

Buttermilk Pie w/ Ice Cream

I know it is cliché, but everything we tried was wonderful. If I had to choose, I would say the steak was my favorite thing we tried, along with the Buttermilk Pie. I suggest you get one to go. We also grabbed a bottle of their homemade Strawberry Jelly.

On a side note, the movie 7 Days in Utopia was filmed at the café and in town. If you watch the movie you will get a real good feel for the restaurant and the whole town.
