What customers say?

“ We were not expecting the level of delicious food that was brought to the table. Vanessa was our waitress and she was amazing. The staff was very attentive to our needs, refills and empty plates were constantly being monitored. What a gem in the heart of SMU. ”

“ Great vibe, the servants are very nice and food is good! For visitors who come for the presidential center, this is a good place to eat a brunch before the visit. ”

“ The seasonal menu offered at the President George W. Bush library is wonderful! My friend ordered the Butternut squash soup as a starter, and the Avocado toast with eggs and greens with fresh fruit. Both dishes were visually appealing and flavorful. I preferred the corn soup which was spicy and delicious and the corned beef sandwich, which was very similar to a Reuben. The only difference is that it is served with Russian dressing vs. Thousand Island dressing. ( I prefer Thousand Island as Russian gives the Sandwich an extra level of sweetness.) The sandwich is served with marbled rye which again makes it special. The accompanying French fries were fresh and hot. I do wish that the cheese had been melted to better integrate the sandwich’s flavor. Manny, our server, offer quick, attentive service. I plan to visit again in Spring to see what new offerings they have! ”
