    DELICIOUS! I actually heard about this place from a Reddit post about places to stop on a road trip…read moreacross Texas and I'm so glad I listened! It's home cooked food, calories-not-monitored, but worth every single bite. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I knew it was going to be good when we saw the parking lot was overflowing into the grass. Luckily there was still an open table inside and we were welcomed by the sweetest staff and our waitress was just as wonderful. So many things looked good on the menu, but I couldn't resist ending this road trip with another taste of chicken fried steak to compare to Mary's (and they can definitely compete because it was AWESOME)! We also tried the chicken fried chicken (delicious), sweet potato casserole (amazing), Mae's potato casserole (tasty), cheese sticks (good), and the hamburger and fries which was obviously delicious enough that my picky daughter almost finished it - which says a LOT! We were very glad that we'd ordered the "smaller portions" for lunch because it meant we could grab a few of the desserts to go to snack on for our final leg of the road trip and keep enjoying at home. We tried the toffee cake (incredible), peanut butter cake (sinfully good), and the coconut pie (very light and creamy)! We also snagged some items to take home with us from their coolers and I can 100% recommend their pork tamales and summer sausage. If you get the chance to stop here, you won't regret it at all! Delicious, great service, and good portions!

    A so so experience. When we walked in we were shocked by the amount of people there eating and took…read moreit as a good sign. The waitress was very friendly, but spread a little thin through all the tables. Menu had something for everyone. We ordered the special, smothered chicken, and it was not special. The shredded cheese they balled on there was barely melted. We ordered a plain burger for my son. The patty was thin and over cooked and bun a little over toasted. I ordered the Philly steak fries and they were good and I would order again. We travel through this area and were hoping it would be a place to eat and rest, but not sure we will make it a priority

    Sooooo yummmy!! Today's special (Tuesday) is the fried pork chop and it was HOT and DELICIOUS and…read moreHUGE!! I needed a to-go box! Our 9 year old got the classic cafe burger and it was also huge and delicious and those FRIES... We also got the Texas Two Step which is slices of jalapeño and onions deep fried... sooo good!

It…read morewas slow not busy at all, I asked the server for the special which is 9.99 and comes with a drink an entree with one side and a dessert. Me and my boyfriend both ordered that so it should've came to about 20-23$. Tell me why even though I asked her MULTIPLE times if it was part of the special, because 1) she said "it comes with two sides" 2) asked if I wanted on or two scoops of ice cream and 3) I told her the food item was too big to be the special and she COMFIRMED it was, I was charged FOURTY NINE DOLLARS?!?! Are you kidding me? She charged us for the regular meal which is 15.99 a piece plus our drinks plus desserts. And when I asked the manager for a refund she said the best she can do is 10% off because we already ate it. YEAH I ATE THE FOOD I ASKED FOR! THE SPECIAL! YOUR WAITRESS CONFIRMED IT WAS THE SPECIAL I ORDERED FROM THE LITTLE MENU! Why should I be charged for HER mistake? You obviously don't care about your regular customers if you're only gonna offer 10% off a 49$ meal that should've been 25$. Some of us are on a budget and have Little money to go out to eat with and you guys charge us like this? VERY disappointed will not be back for a while which sucks because I usually like this place. Just know if y'all go here you have to either speak very slowly for a couple of them to understand you want the special or put the small menu in their face to show them because even if you have your menu closed and you're point at the small menu some of them will still act like they didn't see, and they to blame you so they don't get in trouble.

    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.
