Highway 77 Cafe

Highway 77 Cafe


A Rural Texas Road Trip – 16 of 25


This cafe is just outside Rosebud (a romantic name not quite justified by the town) has good food and friendly service. The specialty is chicken fried steak. Framed pictures of military personnel, some going back to World War II, line the walls. “People bring ’em in,” our waitress explained, “and we hang ’em up.” Local heroes, great stuff.

“There’s a rose bush in every yard in Rosebud, Texas.” (Ripley’s Believe It Or Not ). The city has a yearly rose planting to maintain the citys motto  “Everything’s Rosy In Rosebud” .

Nowadays the population is mainly elderly and it seemed like many of them had their lunch or dinner at the Highway 77 cafe.  The population as of July, 2007, was 1,348. What else to mention….  Rosebud is the birthplace of two “famous people” – the NFL running back LaDainian Tomlinson and Kenneth McDuff, a serial killer suspected of at least 14 murders.
