The Gourmet Diner That’s Located Inside a Gas Station



Chef Point Cafe in Watauga, Texas, has made quite a name for itself. Don’t let the Conoco sign fool you — once you step inside, you’re immediately greeted with savory aromas, a packed dining room, and a friendly staff. It all started when owner and head chef Franson Nwaeza and his wife Paula couldn’t get approved for a loan to open a restaurant. They were told they didn’t have enough experience in the restaurant business, but they didn’t let that stop them. They thought outside the box and applied for a loan to open a gas station. Then, they cleverly put their restaurant inside. Today, Chef Point Cafe has been successfully operating for more than 10 years. The cafe has even been featured on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, in Paula Deen’s magazine, and in several newspapers, including Texas Monthly and The New York Times. From chicken and waffles to seafood pastas, Chef Point Cafe offers a wide variety of dishes that will leave you feeling full and satisfied. The restaurant is best known for their delectable bread pudding, which is served warm and smothered in a rich maple cognac sauce.
