What People's Say About Place

I've been looking for a place to get a Philly cheese steak that was worth my time and I found that place!!! If you haven't tried IN THE CUT CAFE and you also search for an amazing cheese steak this is the place. The food is made to order, fresh, vegetables are great, mushrooms made my day. The sandwich i got was a 15" cheese steak which had meat overflowing and was incredibly delicious plus u get steak fries in addition that were just as delicious. I've been to many places for this but IN THE CUT has stolen my business and I will be a regular customer. He has many things on the menu, I only wanted a cheese steak connection. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Chef D got the best Philly cheesesteaks in Texas!! One small bite is HUGE; you can eat off it for two days.

I swore off gizzards years ago and the owner guaranteed I needed to give his a try. They were AMAZING! So tender and seasoned to perfection. My husband got Wednesday’s daily special of smothered pork chops, rice and fried cabbage. It definitely did not disappoint. Although the cafe is in a store front, please don’t underestimate In The Cut Cafe! If you are looking for great tasting food and friendly service in Garland, this is your spot!

Hidden Gem!! Even though this unique spot is located inside a gas station with each owner being a welcoming delight. The food was made on the spot. I enjoyed the seasoning that the food had to offer. I also appreciated the time that the chef took to prepare it. Thanks again and if you're in Dallas check them out.

Pork Chops were delicious... seasoned just right. I've also had the wings.. as chef would call it "Grandmama Wings", i'm telling you they're so good...The cabbage is bomb, and I DEFINITELY recommend you try the Philly Cheesesteaks - cause man... melt in your mouth

The chicken gizzards are amazing!! Order online and pickup since this is a pickup kitchen with no dine in. You can order delivery through a service such as grub hub. We were looking for good food in the Dallas, TX area and our BBQ choice was closed so we decided on soul food and Dale Johnson, the owner, was so accommodating & friendly! We will definitely be back when we return to the area to try the catfish since he was out tonight. The pork chops, cabbage, greens, and gizzards were out of this world delicious! Thanks Dale

The gizzards are the most tender and flavorful. I ordered pork chops for dinner. I must admit, chef's gizzards are the best I have ever eaten. I could not eat them all at one sitting; I had to eat the rest the next day. Chef's cabbage is so delicious. I had the pork chops the same night, and all I can say is, "This is real soul food cooking" and the food made my mouth and tummy happy. Can't wait for family to visit so I can bring them to In The Cut!

I went to this place for the first time today because I saw they had salmon croquettes. I love salmon croquettes! I called it and picked it up. When I went to get it, Chef Shaun said he was picky about his food and he thought he should be give me a discount it just wasn’t up to par. If my lunch was subpar, I can’t wait to taste the good version. It was delicious. The salmon croquettes were perfect, like my mom’s. The collards were tender and well seasoned. Excellent! He was making a big batch of stuffed peppers that looked yummy. I’ll be back to try the catfish.
