    The walk up window is definitely the go-to for the locals but I went in as a new comer and did the sit down thing. GREAT chicken and sides. Get there EARLY. Even on a Monday it was BUSY.

    Mac and cheese, potato salad, rolls & coleslaw

    Passed by here on the way home to Rowlett from College Station. Best fried chicken I've ever had. All sides were tasty and delicious. I will definitely come back here again. Oh, the iced tea too is good

    Just what the sign says!

    I live outside Dallas, was a little restless so its a road trip to Mexia for lunch. Right on the main drag pretty much, some fried chicken from a local Cafe sounded good. Easy simple menu - fried chicken, chicken fried steak, gizzards, and catfish with nice variety of sides. Got a nice big breast fried to golden perfection with green beans and a dinner roll with a good dose of honey and a large ice tea (un-sweetened!) About 10 of us in the dining room and brisk activity at the carry-out window. Yes, I'll be back to try their catfish !!

    The best around! Always friendly staff waiting to take your order. Place has been around a long time, could benefit from some updating.

    I don't eat much fried chicken, but Jim's is the best I've ever had. The breading is just perfect. Love those corn nuggets too. YUM!

    The best chicken I've ever eaten. I recommend the strawberry fried pies. The food is amazing, I could eat it everyday.

    On the way back to DFW from College Station we stopped at Sam's on Sunday, 3/8. I was so glad we…read moredid!! This place has an absolutely amazing lunch buffet! The salad stuff was fresh and the dressings were all good. On the hot side of the buffet they had chicken friend steak, ham, turkey and dressings, bbq brisket and friend chicken. Everything was excellent! The sides were all great. I imagine their homemade pies are amazing but I was too full to try any of them! I will 100% be back anytime I am nearby!!!

    My dad has been coming here for years, I believe this was my first time…read more My dad went for the buffet, and I ordered a la carte. First, the service was excellent, I believe our server was named Presley. Very kind, always checking on us and keeping our water and tea full. On the buffet, my dad enjoyed the salad he had, but was surprised at the little variety offered that day. He said last time he was there with my brother there was more to choose from. He then got the fried chicken, which was greasy and barely any chicken on the thigh. I tried to find a drumstick but it was just breasts, thighs and a few wings. He did like the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. As for the fried okra, you have to eat it fresh. It is sitting under a heat lamp just makes it soggy and slimy. I ordered 4 vegetables a la carte which came out to be as much as the all you can eat buffet. First, their onion rings are OUTSTANDING! So is their homemade ranch. What was disappointing was the green beans, they definitely came out of a can and were heated. At $3.99 I expected fresh. There may have been a small piece of onion in it. Not sure if that was how it was cooked or if it fell in from another dish. The black-eyed peas were tasty. I also had a cup of the chicken corn chowder which was good. However, there was pieces of cubed chicken in it which also made me think that it was a prepackaged soup and not homemade. My dad got the coconut cream pie, which tasted good, but could have used more coconut then just on the top. He wanted bread pudding or peach cobbler, however at the time of day we were there, they had been picked over way too much, not leaving much for anyone else to enjoy. I did like the selections in the gift shop and purchased a tea towel before we left. I always like to try a place 3 times so I may stop in and try something else. Again, great customer service.
