    Looks like Garry H. beat me to Jake and Dorothy's. Except, I think the smoking section is gone....dammit. Part eatery, local hang out, liars club breakfast, and pie spot. GF and I spent the night in Stephenville before a Sunday trip to Abilene to pick up our new kitten. Coffee was excellent and so was the old men sitting nearby talking weather and other touchy subjects. Reminded me of where my dad used to hang out in Dripping Springs, Texas. We're settling into a booth making breakfast decisions. Two eggs for me; one for her. We both had hash browns. I asked the waitress if the bacon was pre cooked. She indicated it wasn't. Asked for soft and described what I wanted; it didn't go well. I'm personally not seeing why this place made any Texas Monthly list. Best bites for me was the biscuits with cream gravy. They also did manage to cook our eggs to order. Maybe I'm just grumpy about the burnt bacon. But, I can think of many small town restaurants that can represent way better on the the breakfast vittles.

    Late night special! So good!

    What a hidden gem in the heart of Stephenville! We've been in several times while I was visiting my son who attends Tarleton. The food is great, the staff are always helpful, and the price is fair. Try the pie for desert too! A perfect throw back to an original diner feel.

    Wow, the food was amazing!

    Wow, the food was amazing! Everything tasted so fresh. It was all served piping hot, too. And the service was excellent! Definitely coming back here again.

    Classic Chicken Fried Steaks with fresh cut waffle French fries and toast and cream gravy.

    This is an old school classic cafe where food is still made from scratch. The best Chicken Fried Steaks in Texas have been served to royalty and rock stars in Stephenville Texas.

    Chicken Fried Steak! Best in town and always a favorite to visit!

A small green salad got it all started and the coconut cream pie brought it all home!!!! If you have yet to try Jake & Dorthy's, it's time you get your life in order !! In Stephenville, Texas?

    The food and the atmosphere was outstanding. The waitresses were very friendly. Got the best Mexican omelette we've ever had here.
