This place is a 10 outa 10!! I had the cowboy burger with sweet potato fries with a side of Brussel sprouts and my Lawd they were all winners. I also got some small apple pie thingys and they are amazing as well. The owner is super passionate of her new place and mentioned she just took over a few months ago and shortened the menus.

Omg, we finally tried Hope Floats and were blown away! KK the new owner (who’s worked here and at Your Moms for the last 10 yrs) is super personable and the food was excellent! I got the Southwest Bacon Avo Burger and my husband got the French Dip. The baked Mac & cheese was awesome and the Brussels sprouts were good. But my favorite was the homemade chips! I’ve never had warm chips before! Light, fluffy and tasty. The iced and hot mochas were the perfect accompaniment to a delish meal! Open everyday but Tues (for now). Smithville desperately needed a resturant committed to excellence and consistency. So happy we have this!

OMG, we are charmed! Some of the best burgers we’ve ever had. Amazing milk shakes. All kinds of lattes and what not. They also cater to everyone’s eating habits- vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc. The new owner- a sweet lady was so welcoming. We are definitely coming back! I wish I’d taken some photos of our order to post here but we were too busy eating.

We stopped in about 11:30 for lunch on a Saturday. My mom got a burger and ordered the chips as a side because they were out of sweet potato fries and we’re so glad she did because their chips are amazing! Not sure if it’s the cook, the seasoning, or a combination, but they could bag them up and sell them. I got a grilled cheese as part of the lunch special and they use sourdough bread which is delicious and crisp and seasoned with flaky salt and I think some rosemary. I saw that they have pot roast and a french dip so I definitely want to return.
The staff is also very friendly and attentive and our table was clean and the seats very comfortable.

Kaylyn is wonderful. I love the traditional menu items and the new ones. The prices, service and atmosphere were perfect with new seating too. Can’t express enough what a wonderful family dinner we had. I ordered the cowboy burger, hot chai tea and blood orange gelato for dessert and it was all so good. And I found out they have nightly dinner specials. Can’t wait to try them all. Hope floats cafe is a true hidden gem.

We love this place and this family. The care and warmth of the service carries through with the delicious food, which as the sign says is served with love. Just came from their special Valentines dinner which was wonderful – worth the drive from Austin!
UPDATE: we took a friend and she agreed, even better than we had said!
UPDATE: some great new menu items and restaurant modifications – all good!

Husband and I stopped here after visiting our Grandpa. We was looking for a place that served vegetarian/vegan options for me and we came across Hope Floats Cafe . This is an amazing family-owned restaurant with fresh, homemade ingredients and delicious options for everyone. The atmosphere was amazing, the staff was amazing and the food was outstanding. I truly love this place ❤️

The food was good, but the wait of 45 minutes canceled out the good experience. Located on the main drag, this 80’s themed restaurant is situated near antique stores and boutiques, making it easy to find within walking distance.
