Uptown Cafe was rated as one of the top forty Texas cafes by the Texas Monthly magazine. The “secret restaurant shoppers” from Texas Monthly had visited over three hundred cafes in the state of Texas and selected Uptown Cafe of Italy. Sandy Eubank, (owner’s daughter) said, “There were many cafes that received honorable mention but Uptown bypassed that and went straight to the top forty Texas cafes.’

“Forget ‘My Space’, in the tiny town of Italy (pronounced “It-lee”), the Uptown Cafe is the social hub. Our waitress (and the owner’s daughter) pulled up a chair, and suddenly we found ourselves chatting away. It helped that she was toting an excellent burger, thick char-broiled meat served with juicy tomato slices, pickles, and lettuce on a buttered and griddle-warmed bun. Homemade fries are a dying breed, but not at the Uptown, where they come spicy, beer-battered, fresh-cut, or classic.”, quote from the November issue of the Texas Monthly magazine.

Doris Mitchell (owner) said, “It is a real honor to be listed as one of the top forty cafes in the Texas Monthly. We are hoping it will bring in some more business.”

Italy, Texas, hometown of Dale Evans, Dallas Cowboy, Keith Davis and The Uptown Cafe, one of the top forty cafes in the state of Texas. It is good to be from Italy, Texas!
