About Bush's Family Cafe

Bush's Family Cafe draws regular visitors who appreciate its generous portions, country cooking, and wallet-friendly prices. The staff consistently earns praise for exceptional service—one family recounts how employees rushed to help when an elderly guest fell. While most rave about staples like catfish, pecan pie, and the unique pinto bean pecan pie, a few recent visitors note the food quality isn't quite what it used to be.
