Back In The Day Cafe – Menu – Midland

A Throwback to Classic American Comfort

Back In The Day Cafe is a hidden gem on Midland’s west side, serving up classic comfort food in a space that feels like a nostalgic stroll through small-town America. The interior is a cozy blend of vintage diner charm and down-home hospitality, with facades of old buildings and warm service that makes you feel like part of the family. This spot has earned a strong local following for good reason: it delivers hearty plates, reasonable prices, and no-frills flavor.

Start the Day Right

Breakfast is the star at Back In The Day Cafe, and it kicks off daily at 7 AM with an extensive menu that includes ribeye steak and eggs, bone-in pork chops, chicken fried steak, and their signature “Back In The Day Toaster”—a stacked creation of egg, bacon or sausage, cheese, and hashbrown patty on thick Texas toast. The “Back In The Day Special” gives you pancakes, biscuits, or toast with eggs and meat for a proper classic plate. Don’t miss their famous omelette, loaded with five ingredients and served with hashbrowns or diced potatoes.

Big Lunches & Texas-Sized Flavor

The lunch menu is equally stacked with all-time favorites and Southern staples. Choose from charbroiled ribeye, hand-breaded chicken fried steak, meatloaf, tilapia, and more—all served with two sides like mac & cheese, fried okra, or homemade potato chips. For something unique, try the “Back In The Day Bowl” or the “Pot Roast Bowl”—layers of mashed potatoes, cream gravy, corn, and either chicken tenders or roast beef.

Burgers, Salads, & Sweets Done Right

Their burger menu offers playful and bold takes like the Habanero Bacon Cheeseburger or Mushroom Swiss Burger, served on your choice of sourdough or jalapeño cheddar buns. The Southwest Turkey Avocado and Chicken Supreme Sandwich bring lighter, fresh options to the table. And don’t skip dessert—Timeless options like peach cobbler, sopapilla cheesecake, and bread pudding await to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Final Thoughts

Back In The Day Cafe is more than just a diner—it’s a community spot that captures the heart of Midland with every meal. Whether you’re swinging by for a plate of sweet cream pancakes or winding down with steak fingers and banana pudding, you’ll leave full, happy, and just a little nostalgic. Make it your next breakfast or lunch destination, and don’t be surprised if it becomes your regular spot.

Doris J’s Kitchen – Menu – Midland

Doris J’s Kitchen brings a fresh burst of Southern hospitality to Westwood Village, taking over the cozy corner once home to Chinese Kitchen on Illinois Avenue. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of slow‑braised neck bones and savory meatloaf greets you like an old friend. The dining room’s warm, no‑frills decor lets the food shine—think heaping plates of collard greens, creamy mac ’n’ cheese, and fluffy buttermilk biscuits that are begging to be slathered in gravy.

On the menu, you’ll find classics done with care: the Braised Neck Bones are fall‑off‑the‑bone tender, simmered in a rich, tangy sauce that’s the perfect foil for a side of steaming white rice. The Southern‑Style Meatloaf is equally impressive, a glorious mash of seasoned beef and breadcrumbs crowned with a sweet tomato glaze that strikes just the right balance between homey and indulgent. Don’t miss the sweet potato casserole—its crunchy pecan topping and gooey marshmallow finish are the kind of over‑the‑top delight that makes soul food brunch dreams come true.

Positioned next door to Brown’s Bar‑B‑Q and just across from Goodwill West Texas, Doris J’s fits snugly into Midland’s growing soul‑food scene. While stalwarts like Scotty’s Soul Food & BBQ on Rankin Highway and Tubby’s Kitchen & Catering downtown remain beloved fixtures, Doris J’s manages to carve out its own niche by pairing classic comfort with competitive pricing—most entrees land in the $10–$20 range—making it an ideal spot for everything from a quick lunch with coworkers to a laid‑back family dinner.

Open Thursday through Saturday from 11 AM to 8 PM and Sundays until 4 PM, Doris J’s Kitchen is carving out a sweet little corner of soul food heaven. Whether you’re craving a hearty helping of fried chicken or eager to sample the day’s special (word on the street is they rotate in some killer smothered pork chops), this new spot is ready to welcome you with open arms—and a plate piled high with all the flavors of the South.

J‑Peno’s #1 is a friendly, family‑run café that’s been fueling Midland early birds and lunchtime crowds since it opened. Tucked into the Texas Pride Plaza on West Illinois Avenue, J‑Peno’s greets you with its signature red-and-white façade and a cheeky jalapeño mascot ready to rock out with a breakfast burrito in hand. Inside, it’s all about quick, counter‑service efficiency—order at the window or walk in, grab a seat, and watch as your build‑your‑own burrito or specialty plate rolls out hot and fresh.

Come lunchtime, J‑Peno’s lunch burritos—stuffed with asado, barbacoa, brisket, chile verde, ground beef, chicharrón, chile relleno or shredded chicken—ring in at just $4.50, each served with rice and beans when ordered as a plate. On chillier days, you can warm up with a bowl of Caldo de Res or Menudo for $12, or indulge in the Caldo de Mariscos (shrimp, clams and fish) for $15. A la carte add‑ons—beans, potatoes, rice, lettuce, long green chili, pico de gallo—are just fifty cents, while extras like cheese, avocado or grilled pico run seventy‑five cents more.

Open Monday through Saturday from 6:30 AM to 9 PM (and Sundays 7 AM to 3 PM), J‑Peno’s #1 fits any schedule, whether you need an early‑morning caffeine kick ($2 coffee) or an afternoon refresher (agua fresca from $3.50, fountain drinks $2.50).
