    Really good chicken fried.  I saw the chicken come out that might be even better.

    Really enjoyable lunch here after the holidays. Great chicken fried steak and fried okra. Potatoes were good but probably could've used a touch more butter.

    Cute cute cute!!!!

    What a great find. I try so hard to find these gems when I travel and I hit gold! They are a family run home cooking quaint cafe. Everything was fabulous. They have country sides like purple hull peas, fried okra, cabbage, etc. If you are near stop! You'll be happy you did!

    We heard good things about this place. We came here once before when it was called the "Whistle Stop." JG score of 4/10 (+2 for the burger, 0 for atmosphere, +1 for price, 9 for no Diet Dr Pepper, 0 for typical service and +1 for we would return) The Hoss Burger was a very good burger. A good down home burger= meat, bread, flavor.... All of it good. The chicken fried steak was good too but far from the best we have had. Fries with the burger were good but you don't get many. Vegetables were par for vegetables but mashed potatoes were fresh. Pies were good too but we have had better around. The atmosphere was country home type...okay. The price was under $15. No Diet Dr Pepper, only Diet Coke. Service was friendly and typical. We would go back for the burger.

    Jr Burger and fries

    Family friendly home cooked food. We were in town and decided to try this little cafe for the first time. We showed up right at noon and it was packed with locals (obviously that's a good sign). We had to wait about 10mins for a table but it was worth it. The kids got JR burgers that are hand pattied and very good size. Older kid got the chicken strips (more like small breasts because they were huge). We also had Chicken Fried Steak and Chicken Fried Chicken. The food was delicious, the staff friendly and great! We will definitely be coming back!

    We have eaten a Dolli's several times and it is always busy. This visit was no different. However,…read moreservice was marginal. Several apologies later, we finally got our food. I had the BLT with the optional egg and it was okay, nothing to write home about. Coffee was good. Restaurant and toilets were clean and from the sign posted in the men's room, it is highly rated (lol). Nothing like some bathroom humor! We will certainly be back as we are always hopefully that today was an anomaly.

    Right in the center of downtown is a corner cafe that is full of friendly smiles as well as loyal…read morepeople who obviously frequent the place and even have their regular tables. Makes you feel like you're in a Texas country town for sure! My daughter and I were in Nacogdoches for college visit to SFA and we looked this place up in the hopes that we would find something different than a normal chain stop. It certainly is different and was exactly what you might imagine. Everything on the menu is decently priced and it seems that Tuesday is the place to be with short stack specials for $2 along with the weekday breakfast special at $6.95 On of my daughter's favorite meals is chicken fried steak and what better place to try that than a local diner??? Unfortunately it fell below expectations. The portions were quite large, enough that we could have just split a plate. The idea of sausage gravy on top of the mashed potatos and steak sounds heavy but also potentially fantastic. However both the gravy and the fry were quite under seasoned. I was able to fix mine with some cholula sauce and some salt and pepper was a quick fix as well for my daughter. The side of green beans and carrots she got were actually pretty good so perhaps there was just a disconnect in flavor at the meat station this day. I did very much enjoy the side salad I chose instead of the veggie medley. Came with home-made ranch which brought me back to my East Texas family gatherings with the freshly shaken ranch.....it was great. The portion size was pretty fair value at $13. Like I said we could have just split it between us. Very hit or miss flavors leaves this at a 3-stars for me. But no doubt some of the nicest folks in town work here.
