China Dragon Super Buffet closed along Texas State Highway 183 in February 2020 after years of serving the Euless area. The large brick building didn’t sit empty for long. By that summer, new signage appeared for a café specializing in homestyle Texas cooking.
From Buffet to Café
The China Dragon closure marked the end of a long-running Chinese buffet in the mid-cities. Photos from early 2020 captured the restaurant’s final months. Within the same year, Real Texas Cafe signs were installed on the building, signaling a shift from buffet dining to southern-style comfort food.
Food and Service
The café offers classic breakfast plates, burgers, meatloaf, and southern staples like chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. Reviews highlight large portions, fresh rolls, and casual but welcoming service. Several regulars point out the friendly staff as one of the main reasons they keep returning.
Community Response
Since opening, the restaurant has drawn steady attention on review platforms. It holds a 4.1 rating on Yelp, a 4.4 rating on Google from more than 700 reviewers, and a 4.7 score on Facebook. Locals describe it as a reliable spot for breakfast and lunch, with some noting they now stop in whenever they pass through Bedford and Euless.
The exact opening date isn’t documented, but it’s clear the transition from China Dragon to a comfort food café gave new life to a building many Euless residents already knew well.
