Royers Round Top Café Menu

Burgers and sandwiches run $15–$18, dinner entrees $22–$64, and pie is $7/slice or $34/whole. The single biggest draw: Fried Chicken Sunday — $25, family style, 11 AM until it sells out.

Fried Chicken Sunday — $25

Marinated 24 hours in buttermilk, garlic & spices, then hand battered. Includes a thigh, breast, leg, and wing, served family style with mashed potato casserole and cream corn. Starts at 11 AM and runs until it's sold out — it regularly does. Splitting one order between two people costs $5 extra per additional side; pieces aren't substituted, but you can trade with your table.

Good to Know Before You Go

  • The café is small and does not split checks — one table, one payment.
  • 20% gratuity is automatically added to groups of 5 or more.
  • A 3% processing fee applies to credit card payments.
  • Fried Chicken Sunday sells out — arrive close to 11 AM if that's what you're there for, especially during antique show week.
