Triangle Cafe - Batesville

Chocolate Gravy?. While visiting Batesville in April to attend the Mark Martin Fan Appreciation Days, my husband and I had breakfast at the Triangle Cafe. It is an old school, traditional cafe, the kind I have always enjoyed in my youth, just good food and no pretense. The waitresses are friendly and it is usually packed, which is a good sign. We showed up for breakfast and for less than $5 we had the breakfast special, 2 eggs cooked the way you want them, bacon or sausage, hash browned potatoes and BISCUITS. Very, very good BISCUITS. The waitress asked us did we want chocolate gravy or sausage gravy for our biscuits? This confused me, I wondered if she meant just brown gravy or was it really chocolate? So I opted for sausage gravy, being conservative, I know I like that. My adventurous husband asked for chocolate gravy. The breakfasts we both had were perfectly prepared and the chocolate gravy is chocolate! And delicious! A biscuit dipped into this gravy was rich and decadent. It tasted like an excellent chocolate cream pie filling made from scratch, which it is, as the waitress described the process of preparing it. I plan to return to the Triangle Cafe for breakfast and/or lunch the next time we travel to Batesville. My husband and I enjoy this section of the Ozarks very much, it's very scenic and natural with friendly people. We have been in this area 4 times so far and will be returning!

Great food and service. Prices are reasonable with average of $12/person. Restaurant was clean. Menu is a little too literal printed as a triangle on 8.5x11 paper. Too small to read for older customers without reading glasses. They could improve printed menu with standard layout. Great plan to visit and eat!

Good food, good prices. I ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, 2 eggs and biscuits with gravy. My wife ordered the 2 egg, 2 sausage, biscuits gravy breakfast. My dad had an omelette with fried potatoes and a biscuit. Everything was very good! We had to wait about 10 extra minutes for the biscuits, but they were fresh, fluffy, right out of the oven! Service was really good too. Didn’t take too long for the food to come out of the kitchen. Would definitely return, only problem, we’re just visiting from San Diego. Definitely recommend!

Excellent food excellent service great prices will definitely go back again definitely a place to visit for breakfast

I used to eat here decades ago but haven't visited in years. Glad I came back. The food was some of the best I've ever eaten in a restaurant, including corned beef and cabbage, broccoli and cheese, real home-fried potatoes plus a little salad and dessert. It's rare for me to get served more than I can eat in one sitting but they did. And the young lady who served me did an outstanding job. All this for $9. Highly recommend.
