“ My buddy and I ate there last night. We had pizza and wings. Holy cow that was good. Those wings were as good as any wings that we have eaten from back in our hometown Cypress/NW Houston. We will definitely be going back on our next trip up here to our deer lease. ”
“ Diner with great breakfast. We loved all of the locals hanging out. It was a very friendly place with quick service. ”
“ 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!! ”
“ The food was solid, tasty, came out quick, all good things. I only had a salad and some ice cream, so there's not much to review. The staff was incredibly nice and attentive. Not that it means much, but I liked it. If you're in Junction and you're hungry, it'll hit the spot. ”

The food was so delicious that I just had to order one to-go for the road. I will definitely be stopping here every time I pass through Junction. ”
“ 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! ”
