The Warren Buffet
Warren, Texas, is a small town on US 69 in southeast Texas. It is deep in the heart of the Big Thicket, and it is known for miles around as the home of a splendid little diner known as the Warren Buffet. To the casual observer, it is no more imposing than many another small town restaurant, but once you walk into that little eatery, you will be amazed at the ambiance. Friendly staff will usher you to a table where you can look out over the lovely piney woods. Many people have seen tame deer wander up to eat corn from feeders nearby. Bird feeders attract an amazing variety of avian wildlife and their colorful plumage and magical songs add something few more urban locations can provide. The cuisine is mostly home-style and not at all fancy, but it has a wonderful bouquet that titillates the palate and prepares you for a taste experience that reminds you of home, enjoying your own mother’s cooking (assuming your mother could cook). They feature chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken and roast beef along with mashed potatoes and gravy, black eyed peas, fried okra, crawfish gumbo, and big fluffy biscuits. You are invited to go back as many times as you like to the ample buffet table to refill your plate. It’s a place that is easy to miss, but shouldn’t be and you will return again and again once you have been there.
