So Glad We Stopped—What a Find!
We were just passing through town and decided to pop into J.P. Werner Cafe on a whim. Best. Decision. Ever.
First off, the staff was incredibly nice—welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. They made us feel right at home even though we were clearly just travelers passing through.
Now let’s talk about the food, because WOW. I tried something called a Dutch baby for the first time, and I’m officially obsessed. It came out in a skillet looking like a giant, puffy, golden pancake with eggs and bacon on top—absolutely amazing. I had no idea what I was ordering, but I’m so glad I took the chance.
My husband got the open-face chili burger (the one buried under a mountain of fresh shredded lettuce), and he could not stop raving about it. The combination of the hearty chili, melted cheese, and that crispy fresh lettuce was apparently perfection.
And here’s the kicker—they have a lemonade flight. Yes, you read that right. We got to try multiple flavors, including dill pickle lemonade, which sounds wild but was surprisingly refreshing and tangy in the best way.
The vibe is cozy and casual with a quirky charm that makes you want to linger. If you’re in the area (or just passing through like we were), do yourself a favor and stop at J.P. Werner Cafe. You won’t regret it.

We stopped here based on Google reviews and were NOT disappointed. The cream sodas ordered were delicious. We had the blueberry Dutch baby, country hash and brisket hash. Each was phenomenal as was the service and the ambience. You will NOT leave hungry. Will definitely return!

This is hands-down the best breakfast spot in Cameron—and genuinely one of the best in all of Central Texas. We ordered the Rancher’s Dutch Baby and the Brisket Hash, along with coffee, and everything was outstanding. Service was attentive, friendly, and exactly what you’d hope for from a great local restaurant.
They also sell pre-made baking mixes and spice blends you can take home, which is a great way to support a small local business even after your meal.
If you’re in Cameron or just passing through, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back!

This was a very nice place to dine, if you like authentic country style establishments. From the direction I came in, the town, many of the buildings and the restaurant itself looked as if they were closed. The atmosphere, music playing, and restaurant gave me everything I was looking for and I was excited to try the food!
We ordered the Texas Sized Biscuit and Gravy with Scrambled Eggs as well as the Plain Jane Pancake/ Dutch Baby, 2 hot chocolates, and ended up orderingsome Dill Pickle flavored lemonade.
The lower rating on the food is primarily due to expecting a pancake and instead receiving more of a quiche. The eggie-creamy dish does not pair well with butter and syrup. I think a more savory version would have been preferred. The scrambled eggs taste of some type of cream or buttermilk add and it didn’t sit well with me. I added a good deal of pepper and salt to the Eggs and was able to eat a few bites. I’m a biscuits and gravy fan but the gravy on this dish tasted different than any I had before. The creamy consistency and taste of the “pancake” (Dutch baby) and eggs may have been better in the gravy. I half joked that we may not be fond of the food because it is too fresh! Thinking maybe all thr ingredients were grown or raised locally instead of being shipped in. Perhaps what we are used to in “the city” is over processed!
The service was good and although we were not fond of any of the food items, I think plenty of people would love it. As a matter of fact, there was a large party dining when we were sat, but not many more. Before long the establishment was near full with one or two available tables. I think most patrons were local/regulars, we were passing through and stopped by as a result of me looking for good old fashioned type of breakfast on our way back to North Texas.
The beauty of being different is that everyone has their own preferences and likes. I would recommend they not describe the Dutch Babies as “pancake-like just in a skillet”. Wanting actual pancakes this was a complete disappointment, especially for a kid/teen.
I would recommend this restaurant because you only live once, so give something different a try.

Great burger but we came for breakfast not knowing they don’t serve breakfast on Mondays. Nowhere online did it state that. But the burger was outstanding. We’ll be back.

Went for lunch yesterday with my folks. The burger was flavorful and the potato salad was amazing. My mom had the Monte Cristo and said it was really good as well.
The plates our food came out on were the exact same as we had when I was a kid. The marble bar and large wooden buffet are fixtures that have been there since the 70’s. Well done!

The waitress was so sweet. The food was outstanding. I got the garlic BLT, OMG it’s the best BLT I’ve ever had. Hubby got the Hot Brown Sandwich, turkey with brown gravy and thick sliced tomatoes. It was also delicious and reminded me of my grandma’s cooking. We’ll definitely be back for breakfast and lunch again.

I was looking for a neat local cafe for lunch between Houston and Waco, and came across this place on google. The website looked promising, so I detoured over to check it out. I’m very glad i did! It was a miserable, dreary, soggy day and the chicken pot pie looked perfect for that. Excellent! Tender chicken, flavorful and well seasoned gravy and vegetables, all on great big homemade biscuit. Had a piece of raspberry crumble pie with whipped cream to finish it off. I travel often for work, all over the region, and this is one of the best finds I’ve come across. It’s in a cool old building, it’s clean and well decorated, wasn’t too busy, and was reasonably priced. I will definitely be stopping here again when I’m in the area.

The food is not the issue here, it’s always good. But for the price you pay, they can definitely afford to better their ventilation. We’ve been here three times and today was unfortunately our last. The second we get home from here, I always have to change my clothes and wash my hair – and I’m not being dramatic. The entire place smells like old bacon grease and not in a good way. It’s so smoky that it’ll make your eyes and throat burn. In addition, the service is always subpar. The server is hard to hear, doesn’t check on the table, and never brings us the things we ask for. And finally – the price. The portions are giant, so I guess that’s where they get away with what they change, but that to me is unnecessary. The prices are more aligned with a downtown Austin restaurant than a small town diner. Again, the food is good, but so much could be improved here.

I always make it a point to stop here when in Cameron. The food is so fresh and made with love. I don’t usually eat biscuits and gravy but it’s a must here. It’s so good. The portions are so big that I can share it or take it to go for later. The service here has always been kind and attentive. The space is open and I love how they incorporated vintage elements in the restaurant. It’s a small woman-owned business too, which is a nice bonus. My only complaint is that it’s not closer to me!
