13 Houston Restaurants Where You Can Get Your Own Entree - Houston - The Infatuation

"Sharing food at a cafeteria-style restaurant may or may not be illegal. Getting a loaded down tray with all of your favorite things purely for personal enjoyment is kind of the point of a cafeteria anyway. At Cleburne Cafeteria in West University, all of the usual suspects are available, shimmering amidst the heat lamps: fruit salad, Jell-O, chicken fried steak, liver and onions, a mess of delicious sides like mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, candied yams, and gigantic slices of cake. It’s a treasure trove of American comfort foods, and nobody better pass a single fork tine across our tray if they know what’s good for them." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
