Tara's Cafe and Malt Shop

"The food was mediocre. The waitress could have been more friendly. I wanted a fresh cup of coffee and she said it was only about 2 hours old. I asked her if she would make a fresh one and she refused because they were going to close in an hour. I left her a nice tip anyway but I will not be returning. I was a waitress for 35 years and if somebody came in 5 minutes before we closed and wanted to fresh cup of coffee I made a fresh pot of coffee. That customer service done right!"

"Tara's Cafe and Malt Shop is a delightful café in Belton’s Olde Towne. Come for the atmosphere and stay for the milkshakes. The staff is friendly and helpful. The milkshakes are delicious. I give them a 8 out of 10. There was no cherry on top, or in my case, a blackberry on top. While I was there a blind woman was there with her granddaughter. I took that as a handicap accessible stamp of approval. I sampled 3 of their burgers. The Jiffy burger, a regular hamburger, and a Bison Burger. All the burger came plain, with condiments on the side. Which made the burgers look basic and did not excite me. I give the plain burgers 5 out of 10. With the condiments, I give them a 7 out of 10. I could not tell if the burger buns were toasted. Which led to a very boring mouth feel when I tried the burgers without condiments. Once I added the lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle, to the burgers they had a lot more textures and flavors for me to enjoy."

"Small town appeal at its finest! The food was fresh and well prepared. Staff was super friendly. I would definitely suggest stopping in for lunch, pie or even some delicious ice-cream if you are in town. Clean and cozy place for burgers and shakes."

"Great little diner with terrific food and friendly people. The corn dogs are fantastic! So, are the onion rings and tater tots. And, it's connected to an antique store, which is one of my weaknesses. I'll be back."

"Had the ruban, sweet potato fries, and fried mushrooms. The Ruban was nothing special but it was good kinda light on the meat, fries and mushrooms were on point. The ladies were great hosts it was slow so they kept up conversation. The only down side is that the sweet tea I herd her tell one of the other workers that it was two days old so not refreshed they keep it till it runs out sounds like. I still drank it cause I don't care it was tasty."
