TOO EXPENSIVE. IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE I DON'T KNOW WHY IT WON BEST CHEAP EATS. IT COSTS LIKE 10 DOLLARS FOR A SALAD. BUT THE FOOD IS GOOD.

only so so. The food is so so and the atmosphere is similar to a college cafeteria.

Yuppie Eatery. Cafe Express at best is okay food but overly priced. This has become a Yuppie hang out where you get a sandwich and bad chips for $10. I would have to completely disagree with anyone who said that Cafe Express was a cheap eating establishment.

Cheap??. I guess for River Oaks it is cheap but not the best deal in town.

Cafe Too Express. I have ordered the Express Burger there for years and without fail, my well-done burger comes out very pink in the middle. The Manager doesn't really offer any apologies, just to re-cook the burger longer. Then I end up eating alone because my friends are already finished eating by the time I actually get my food for the second time.

Worst breadstick ever. Service is good here but everything else is bad. The food was alright, but the breadstick was not at all what is considered breadstick.

Expensive and not that good. Cafe Express is too expensive for the quality of the food served. Stay away.

NOT CHEAP, but tasty. I tried the new one on FM1960 West. It is NOT cheap to eat here, but the food is very good, and quantity is good. Do NOT go here for a fast lunch during the week. Many of us stood in line for 25-40 minutes to try this new place.(new to FM 1960 area)
