Love this place me and wife stop here from Haslet whenever we are in that area. I'm a huge CFS fan…read moreand absolutely love Mary's. It's not greasy or salty, just enough pepper and the best part is the breading stays on the steak when you cut it. A medium is big enough for 2 people to share but if you want leftovers get the large that is plenty for 2 with enough leftover for breakfast or lunch the next day. Also seen other reviews mention the salad is iceberg, every time I've been there the salad has been romaine and always fresh. The staff is very friendly and for as busy they can get they stay on top of it. Strawn is a nice quiet town tucked off the highway and Mary's definitely gives you that small town feel, if it wasn't an hour and half drive for me I'd be there every week, for now I gotta settle for every few months.

We always make it a point to stop at Runaway Train Cafe when we're passing through Brownwood on our…read moreway to Fredericksburg. It's one of those places we genuinely look forward to every time. The restaurant is set inside an old train car, which is just really cool and different. The hamburgers are always spot on -- juicy and full of flavor -- and I can't pass up the Reuben. It's perfectly toasted with plenty of meat and just tastes great every single time. The service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the stop even better. It's become a tradition for us, and it never disappoints. If you're anywhere near Brownwood, it's definitely worth pulling off the road for.

Newton's has been our go to restaurant when we want to enjoy some delicious food. We normally only…read morecome here for dinner, which is when we had the ribeye and chicken fried steak! The ribeye was perfectly cooked, tender and perfectly seasoned. My wife always gets the chicken fried steak. It's a huge meal and a heck of a deal. Each plate came with mashed potatoes and some veggies. I love desserts and I am always trying new places to find the best desserts. I can honestly say that Newton's bread pudding is the best bread pudding I have ever had and is one of my favorite desserts. I follow their social media and I always see their burger Tuesday's. We happened to be passing through and decided to stop in. Carlos was our server and he was on top of things and he offered great customer service. I got the triple meat smash burger with grilled jalapeños and bacon added. My wife got the buffalo chicken sandwich. They were both tasty. I would definitely stop by again for their burgers but their steaks are still my go to. And of course we had to finish our meals with a bread pudding!!

This time we arrived after the breakfast hours. There was some confusion with our young lady that was serving us, she took our order but was unsure what was included with the chicken fried steak meal and I ended up showing her on the menu what all was included. Nevertheless, she sent the other young lady over to get clarification if he wanted the chicken fried chicken or did he mean steak.‍, since he had left the table I told her "steak". The food was so-so, we probably won't be eating here again.

Had read about this place in the Fort Worth paper a couple of years ago, so we were passing through…read moreand stopped in for an appetizer and pie. (They're famous for their pies.) This place has been here for 60+ years and the exterior and furnishings are old, and worn, yet quite comfy. As they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover." We decided to split a cheeseburger and fries. It was really good and the fries are thin-cut waffle fries. Next we had pie...pecan and coconut cream. Yes!! As good as advertised. We met the current owner, the daughter of the original owners. She's been here her whole life.... Carrie. Interesting lady. After 5:00 on Tuesdays, burgers are $1 and the cheeseburger is $2. There are other nightly specials, as well. Come out and support this local legend!!

Value: 3 stars - it was food and it was cheap, value really depends on how much you are willing to pay for more flavor and texture. Overall: 2.5 stars - Would not recommend. There is a McDonalds one block away. Gas station food. They were friendly and the prices were cheap. We had the CDP breakfast. One egg, one pancake, two slices of bacon and a side of hash browns. The has browns were good, the egg was an egg, the bacon was bacon and the pancake was a large, flat, vehicle for unremarkable syrup. Would not recommend. There are not a lot of choices here for Sunday Brunch, next time we come this way we will probably try the Big Cup Eatery and Bar. If a full parking lot is any indication of quality.

Stopped along the way to Austin. Family had a party melt, chicken nachos, and a burger…read more The burger was ok. A little too thick of bun for my taste (too rollish too). Nachos were disappointing. The chicken was seasoned so I'd say above average. The portion was large. But the cheese seemed canned. No peppers or onions. No sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. Patty melt was ok. Meat was a little chewey and bread was toasted but not flavorful. I will say that if you want pie. I watched a dozen carry out orders. Also admitted one of tallest meringues I've ever seen. We just weren't in mood for pie. Service was ok. My water was empty for about 1/4 of my meal. They were it overwhelmed and had numerous empty tables. She was very friendly fly though. Ambiance is a charming little roadside cafe. Lots of neat salt and pepper shakers in a display case on the wall. Parking was not difficult but certainly more difficult that average. Looked like a popular chocolate place was next door.
