Texas restaurant changes name to Trump Cafe ahead of election

HOUSTON, TX - Many restaurants are having fun this election season with Trump and Clinton-themed foods but one Texas eatery is being anything but subtle about its choice for president.

On Thursday, Bellville Café—located in Bellville, Texas about 60 miles from Houston—officially changed its name to Trump Café in honor of the businessman-turned-GOP presidential hopeful.

“He loves America and we hope he will be president,” the café’s co-owner Su Hawa told The Houston Chronicle. “People like the name, they’re supporting him.”

Before the name change, Belvillle Café served modern takes on casual French fare but the new menu features only “American, Trump-themed” foods. There's a burger topped with cheese, bacon, and barbecue sauce and a chicken fried steak.

Hawa and her husband Eddie aren’t just fair weather fans of The Donald, either. The couple told the Chronicle that whether Trump wins or loses, they plan on keeping the Trump Cafe name after the election.

Historically, Bellville has been a red town but not everyone is thrilled with the café’s new alias...

Texas is a big state. You don’t go anywhere in a nano second. From where I live in Texas, I can go to several different state in less time than I can get to Houston. But thanks for the support.

Interesting fact about how big Texas is: Dalhart, a town located in the Panhandle (northwest of Amarillo), is actually closer driving distance to six other state capitals than it is to Austin. It is 570 miles from Austin, 261 miles from Santa Fe, 313 miles from Oklahoma City, 348 miles from Denver, 448 miles from Cheyenne, 461 miles from Topeka, and 544 miles from Lincoln.

This is the Beltway 8 (Harris County Toll Road), overlaid on several different cities.

The inner loop is “Loop 610”.

There’s another loop, or really 3/4s circle (Hwy 6 / FM 1960).

The 4th loop is being constructed, and it’s called the Grand Parkway.

Thanks for the link. It is interesting.

I live by the stadium, off Buffalo Speedway, and work up at Greenspoint.

It is quite a commute.

I am at the Trump Cafe as I type. Is also called the Bellville Cafe.

Menu does contain lots of comfort foods. Just ordered tomato basil soup and a hamburger steak.

I read many of the Yelp reviews and the ones critical of the Cafe are junk. My server is black, other servers are black and an older “waitress that you see in every small town in Texas.

Tomato basil just arrive d, looks as does smells great. Looks home made.

Of to eat.
