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!

The service was attentive with the food cooked to order and quickly. We both had the pancakes and bacon; the pancakes were big and fluffy and the bacon was thick and perfectly cooked! This was a quaint small town cafe full of regulars that we'll definitely keep in mind for our next pass through Ranger.

My hubby had the breakfast plate It was great. My mother in law had a burger she said It was amazing and my aunt the waffles and biscuits with the gravy she said It was the best she's had.

The burger was also very good, the portions are good without being overwhelming, and even the chicken fried steak was delicious too. They even have some healthy choices, but we'll have to stop by again to try one of those.

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.

A friend came with me for the drive and we wanted to find a brunch place in the Thurber area. Yelp led us to Zims Café. The atmosphere is a mix of appreciating the past with a touch of Austin artisan. The pottery is handmade by the proprietor. The coffee cups fit your hand perfectly! So perfect, I purchased one to take home. The food itself is really good and fairly priced. Everything was done to my preferences. (Over medium -right on the money!) The hollandaise sauce was exactly to my taste with the lemon evident but not overpowering. I would have purchased a pint of that to take with me too but didn't think to ask at the moment! The owners are personable and the business was steady. I would go out of my way to come here again.
