Episode 132 // JB Royer of Royer's Round Top Cafe

Written By Danna Larson

Today on the Rural Revival podcast we’re with JB Royer of Royer’s Round Top Cafe in Round Top, Texas (pop. 90). We met up with JB just as Texas Antiques Week was starting, and we did this interview as they were getting the restaurant ready for the evening dinner guests, so hopefully you feel like you’re sitting right there in the cafe with us.

We’re talking about the great family history behind the cafe, the importance of relationships, how they’ve made it possible to ship their pies nationwide, plus Texas Antiques Week and more. This is a great family serving up great food and great hospitality, and we can’t wait for you to hear their story.

You’ll love how the Royers are always innovating and trying new things, and also love their heart for serving people. It really does shine through. And can we just say, their food is absolutely amazing — so amazing that we hired them to come cook for a ranch dinner we did out at the Coy T. Ranch in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.

And since we did this interview, the Royers have come out with a new cookbook. It’s called Cooking with JB & Jamie: Royers Round Top Cafe Cookbook. We cannot recommend this enough! So be sure to go grab yourself a copy and give them a follow, and all those links you need are in the show notes.

Sometimes you have to learn how to evolve. You almost have to have that foot put on your throat. You’re definitely not gonna let it sink.

It’s all about the relationships, and that’s the joy of it all. Relationships take work. And if you really nurture those relationships and the customers that walk through that door, they will time and time again always be there. These people, they want to support you and they want to see you succeed.
