    We had really good brisket and al pastor tacos and chile rellenos, but the regular at the next table said the chicken fried steak is the best in town.

    Great chicken fried steak at Mary' Café. We watch the show The Daytripper with Chet Garner on TV…read more He did a segment on Mary's Cafe. So, we drove about 2 hours west of Fort Worth. The place is just an old diner in the town of Strawn. We showed up at 1130. They had nice crowd no wait. Sit down and order. We got a small and a medium chicken fried steak. For the sides fries and mash potatoes with a small salad each. The small steak is prefect size for me. But if you are hungry go for medium or the large. The chicken fried steak is made a little different than most. Not the usual type of breading. We really enjoyed the meal all was very good. The steak was tender and great flavor. Fries cook perfect and great for dipping into my gravy. Mary came around and took the order and she also went to each table and made sure you like the food. Very good service from all the staff. We will be back and you should give them a try.

    Came here based on the Daytripper review saying this was the #1 CFS place in Texas. I hate to give…read morea hometown, non-chain restaurant a bad review, but also want to be honest. I'm really surprised at how many four and five stars there are. Almost nothing we got had flavor: Queso - literally just cheese with nothing added - no salsa, no jalapeños, no onion - nothing. If you put queso on the menu, I think people expect it to have more than literally melted cheese. Chicken Fried Steak - loved that the breaded parts stuck to the meat and was excited to eat, but again, literally no flavor. We didn't finish it and we didn't take the leftovers. Mashed potatoes - No flavor AGAIN. We were so surprised and disappointed. You can see everyone there busting their tails though. Those women deserve every penny of every tip left for them.

    I'm not sure why this place is listed with $$$$. It's not experience at all, maybe $$ is more…read moreappropriate. We accidentally came here on a road trip and arrived hangry. Food came out super fast and we were so happy we stumbled in. Obviously a locals hang out and they do run out of things, as we arrived in the later side of lunch ie cole slaw, but they substituted a salad, which was fine. I would say the catfish was a huge hit and the grilled chicken was juicy and flavorful. I'm kinda weird about hush puppies, they're not my thing. As they can often be dry and under seasoned, but I couldn't stop eating these ones! We'd love to stumble in another time!

    I love destination restaurants. I like going to restaurants that are a 15 to 30 minute drive from…read moremy house. You get to talk and catch up on the drive there, have a great meal and relax for a bit, then try not to fall asleep on the drive home. What a perfect evening! DVB is about 20 miles from home. Perfect. They have a nice big dining room with a/c, or step outside when it's not too hot. Two large covered patios, both facing the covered stage for live music on weekends. Yes! Also lots of uncovered picnic tables for looking up at the stars. Check Facebook for music dates and times. Now the food. I've only tried the chicken fried steak, several times, cause I like it! Onion rings were really good. For dessert, definitely the buttermilk bars. I've tried 3 different flavors and all were so good! I talked with the owners when it wasn't quite so busy, and they really enjoy what their doing. Nice people. So, pick a night when there is some live music and come on out to the country. You'll be glad you did. See you there!
