First time eating here. I thought it was just ice cream. I had the Parmesan garlic wings. They were fixed perfectly for me. No breading very tender and adequate amount of sauce. My wife had the hamburger steak and it was thick and tender. She also had the fried okra thin layer of breading you could still see the light green showing through. They came out hot and delicious. Highly recommended

Simply the absolute best breakfast I have had from a restaurant in years. I'm pretty sure the chef is cooking with magic. I ordered the Milky Way breakfast which consists of two bacon slices, two sausage patties, two eggs, to pancakes, and hash browns. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing!! The ladies that work there and the owner, Willard were very friendly!! This will be my go to restaurant anytime I am out here in Junction staying at the state park for astrophotography. Can't recommend enough! Going to be printing out one of my Milky Way photos from the local State Park for them to hang in the restaurant!

Best chicken fried steak I’ve ever had. It was so tender you don’t need a knife. Real mashed potatoes. None of those instant things around here. It was a busy little when we got there at 1 pm but the waitress was fast and efficient. Great service. Great food. 10/10 will be eating here again.

The Milky Way is a small mom and pop restaurant nestled on the main drag of Junction, Texas. The food is delicious and simple. No fancy food names, just good food! Our waitress was super polite and very informative when we asked questions about certain meals. There is plenty of parking here and I highly recommend this place for your next meal if you're in the area!! Update: Passing through on our travels, we decided to stop here for lunch once again. Still, great food!! Our server was the same young lady from 3 months previously and again she provided great service and hospitality with a smile!!
