Although cafeterias have become a diminishing part of the Houston dining landscape, Cleburne's Cafeteria at the edge of West U remains very popular, especially on Sundays, with its dedicated and veteran local clientele. Opened in 1941, its well-known commitment to high-quality ingredients earned the conscientious cafeteria a feature article in The New York Times a few years ago. The restaurant sources from local farmers and uses only extra virgin olive oil, real butter and house-made mayonnaise. The decadent pies, cobblers and cakes are made fresh daily, and the rolls, cornbread and muffins are baked continually during operating hours. The beef and chicken are fresh – never frozen. Entrées may include chicken-fried chicken, baked chicken with rice, turkey and dressing, roast beef, chicken-fried steak, fried catfish, and the not-to-be-overlooked liver and onions. The notably fresh vegetables are reason alone to visit. No alcohol available. Serving lunch and dinner Sun–Fri. Sun brunch begins 11 am. Closed between meals during the week. Voted Best Comfort Food in the 2008 Houston Press critics poll.
