On the flipside, if no-frills, Texas-style home cooking is your cup of tea, Sweet Boy's Diner in Bowie, Texas, has your name written all over it! The town might be small, with a population of just over 5,000, but its flavors are larger than life.
Inside, modern farmhouse décor promises to charm you into oblivion.
Old license plates and other vintage memorabilia cover the walls, leather-backed chairs look like they were taken straight out of a Western movie, and chandeliers add a touch of elegance.

Many of the entrees come with sides as well, and your options include mac and cheese, fried okra, mashed potatoes, and several other traditional Southern selections.
There are several unspoken rules at small-town Texas diners, one of them being that dessert is never optional.
You shouldn't need any convincing - the freshly baked pies and warm cobblers speak for themselves. If you can't decide on a flavor, a classic like coconut cream always hits the spot.
