Very good place. Was heading to Killeen and Throckmorton was on my way through. Didn't know where to stop to eat and my brother looked up places in the area and Fowler's Restaurant and Cafe popped up. So, we stopped and I'm glad we did. Kind of a hole in the wall place. Very friendly restaurant. I believe family owned and operated. Everything is homemade and very good. My brother and I had the Blazing Saddle(chicken fried steak with queso, grilled onions, jalapenos, and chopped bacon on top with garlic parmesan fries) and my mom had a hamburger and onion rings. We enjoyed it and definitely a hot spot the next time we're through there. I recommend them if you are ever traveling that way.

Amazing food in this small restaurant in a small town. Just as you would expect from a small mom and pop establishment-the food was amazing. I had the cheeseburger with fries and just wow! Hot and fresh and came out pretty quickly even during lunch hour.

Staff was friendly and greeting on entry to restaurant and gracious to me for an emergency during traveling back home from medical appointment. Place was not busy at time and staff was cleaning for next rush of evening customers. Rustic and homey place with menu of basic meals and standard drinks. Did not eat due to medical issues so I cannot offer a fair evaluation of food. The people that worked there when stopped were helpful and kind. It made my time traveling on to my home less strenuous and so appreciated their concern and help. Pleasant experience during a hard moment.
