Absolutely delicious! We visited this week for lunch with family. I ordered the half portion of chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and a side of green beans. The half portion of chicken fried steak was huge! I couldn't eat it all. The green beans were so tasty. A roll was served on the side that reminded me of those delicious rolls I used to eat when I was in school on the school lunch tray. Mouth watering! I was too full for dessert, so I ordered a slice of the banana split pie to take home. Wow! The crust was flaky and crisp. I'll be dreaming about it! read more

You know a place is good when you find delicious homemade croutons on their lunch time salad bar.... ENOUGH SAID!!! Outstanding!!! These people go the extra mile in all the food they put out!!! From the excellent/buttery/perfectly fried catfish (plate lunch) to the homemade English pea salad on the salad bar, everything is homemade and fantastic. In a world where everything seems to be mass produced/processed/quick and easy over quality this place brings you back to a time where people still cared about what they put on your plate. Every single thing on my (meat & 3/plate lunch) Id swear to be made from scratch... and not just that but made with love... like I was at my mommas or grandmas!!! Just plain old good food!!! I loved it!!! #DONTFORGETYOURDESERT read more

I am not against franchises, but if you want to get a true feel of the neighborhood that you're in, the smaller restaurants offer that. And Simply Country, located at an East Texas crossroads where roughly 100 people live within a mile, offers what outsiders would consider a true Texas diner. "Smokey and the Bandit" lovers, think of the choke-and-puke where the Smokey ordered a Diablo Sandwich and unknowingly met up with the Bandit. If you're driving on 105 east of Cleveland, this is one of several small restaurants that look like a great place to eat, with homestyle food at a good price. We ate there on a Saturday afternoon on the way back from the Renaissance Festival, and mercy sakes alive, this was good! We all had chicken strips, and it had a good country taste and texture. A little on the dry side for me, but whatever. We didn't have pies, but we sat close to where they can be bought, and I can see someone using their meal as the appetizer and those tall sweet pies being the main course. Many sweet local girls working there, drawl and all, and they made sure we had a relaxing, happy time. More than enough signs with references to God on them to give the liberals hives. Restrooms are on the far east side, the sign is very hard to read, and several antiques in the small hallway where the restrooms are - a very nice touch! Cash preferred, an extra charge is put on the bill for using a card. Simply Country is certainly not a unique restaurant in the Lone Star State. They don't try to compete with anyone. They just offer very good homestyle grub at a price that won't hurt your wallet. read more

Food is great and the service the best. I've loved everything I've eaten there. It's close to where I live and easy to get to and easy to get back read more

Best roadside stop ever! We happened upon this place on the way to see family. Food was excellent, service friendly, ambience interesting. I think we are headed back to get a whole pie. Still thinking about the amazing fresh baked pie smell. Large country fried steak was LARGE! Very crispy, well seasoned gravy and piping hot. The green beans and mashed potatoes were also well seasoned with great flavor. Mushroom burger was juicy, giant, and had great savory meaty flavor. Loaded high with mushrooms and meaty cheese, amazing. They kindly added lettuce and tomato for me, but it really didn't need it. Crinkle fries were crispy and hot. The things we didn't eat but could see were also very generous portions at reasonable prices. A one trip salad bar only $4.99 for whatever you can fit on your plate. Bar included some pasta and potato salad options and could really make a full meal. Catfish special of the day was gently fried fish with fries and another side plus a serving of chocolate pie. Lots of locals ordered that with no hesitation and I'd regret not ordering it too- but my burger was damn good. Ambience is fun- country kitchen themed with lots of signs and funny sayings. Original cook books on some country style hutches in the corner, wooden chairs and tables that are sturdy, and farmhouse staples like a butter churn decorated the dining room. Pie case was full of so many options. We should have gotten a pie to take with us. I'm going back for that pie. There was a dining room facing section of the kitchen where you could see the pie construction happening. I've never seen such a high, beautifully twisted meringue. Okay maybe we are going back for two pies... read more

The pork died in vain. Loud, echoes, uncomfortable hard wood chairs, table wasn't bussed (nor were the tables nearby). SLOOOW! Waitress was pleasant, but overwhelmed. Couldn't multi task or prioritize. Did I mention how long it took between each phase? 20 minutes on average... except waiting for our food- the tables on either side of us got theirs long before we got ours. The food was bad. Vegetables mushy overdone. Pork chops were leather boot tongues lightly paneled with plywood, the chicken fried chicken breading disintegrating in the flood of gravy. Due to the humidity the salt Shaker had to be beaten into doing it's job. But at least the bottled catsup, fries & rolls were tasty. Then: the 25 minute wait for our desert order... & we were told the item we ordered only had two servings, but we passed the pie case & spotted several more. We haven't eaten the pie yet, hopefully better than the rest of the experience. read more

Very good!! Delicious home-cooked, comfort food!!! The gumbo is one of the BEST we have had! Hush puppies are soo good! Lots of pies to choose from as well. Everyone is so friendly. We recommend!! read more

Can't say enough about how amazing this place is. I have eaten here many times over the years and I feel like the food and service get better each and every time I go. The friendly staff, large variety of classic southern foods, and extensive selection of homemade pies, cakes, and pastries are all a part of what makes this place so elite. If anyone is looking for the best country kitchen type restaurant and bakery for either breakfast, lunch, or dinner that Texas has to offer then this place is exactly what they are needing. This place is becoming more popular by the minute. People come from all over Texas to eat at this cafe. I would highly recommend to anyone. If you stop by do NOT forget to order some of their famous pie! Also, if anyone is wanting to switch things up and have someone else cook their dinner/dessert for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, you can place an order with Simply Country and pick up your food before the holidays. Holiday orders include everything from the list of pies to entire meals for your family. read more

The outside might not look like much, but the inside is fantastic. Awesome vintage decor all over the place. When you walk in the smell of their delicious pies hits you in the face. We sat ourselves and were immediately greeted by the waitress. I am sorry I forgot her name, but she was great. All the staff we encountered were very nice. The place was clean, including the restroom which is big for me. The food is old school kinda diner place but it was tasty and hot. I did get a slice of apple pie to go. That was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend giving this place a shot. read more

All the food is amazing that we have had. My favorite by far are the steak fingers! The brown gravy and rolls is an amazing combo too. Breakfast is so fresh and just the right amount and the potatoes are just right! The only changes I'd wish to see are more late afternoon/early dinner hours & the noise level being reduced somehow. Just putting sliders on the chairs would help immensely. But it gets so loud and echos in there that we have to mentally prepare to go. Our son declines going Bc of the noise as well. It's really the nature of one big open space and only hard surfaces, but it would be so amazing if it could be helped a little somehow. Regardless, we LOVE the food! It's a place we recommend to all and frequent! We appreciate the breakfast hours and options! read more

Stumbled upon this hidden gem Today picking up something from Houston on Marketplace. Wow, what a gem this is. Best food we've had in a while. Home cooking served with a smile. We got the stuffed hamburger steaks with cheese, onions and jalapeño, a side of the best green beans and mashed potatoes and gravy. Cannot wait to make another trip and try something else, because we know it will be delicious. read more

Simply Country is simply amazing. We frequent this restaurant for breakfast when heading out. They have great biscuits and gravy and omelets. I like the flapjack and bacon on the poor man's breakfast. If you're wanting a steak, come here!! They are delicious and cooked perfectly to order! I have never tried anything here I haven't enjoyed! Worth the drive down 105!! read more

Everything is bigger in Texas! My small breakfast burrito was massive. Hubby had the half order of biscuits and gravy with eggs. Everything was good and the value was even better. Decor is cozy and charming- Farmhouse old school antique items everywhere. They baked fresh pies and other sweets as well and looked like they were setting up for a lunch buffet. This was right off the highway as we were passing through and was a perfect stop for us. We will definitely come back if ever in the area. read more

Came upon this place by chance. We were starved and sugar running low. Got to say God brought us there and we had the best customer service every.

We drive an hour and a half to get there! The Chicken Fried Steak is about the best I've ever had. Everything is made from scratch including the mashed potatoes and cream gravy. There are no short cuts! Everything I've had is delicious! Then there are the baked goods. The Chocolate and Lemon Merengue pies are the best and they will have about 20 other flavors to choose from. read more

Most all restaurants are suffering from lack of staff and that translates into not so great dining experience for customers. Chicken nuggets and popcorn shrimp burned and over cooked. One chicken fried steak fried perfect and the other was under fried. Both served semi warm. This was the weekend and maybe it was a backup cook. Hamburger was good. read more

Have passed by this place for years and never stopped until I looked them up recently and saw the reviews. From the outside it's not very inviting but it is very cute once you step in the door. We enjoyed the food and especially the desserts. Didn't realize until we were about to leave that they evidently have lunch specials. My husband noticed many people were eating spaghetti . Next time we will ask about the specials . We will be returning. read more

I've passed this place a thousand times but never had time to stop. I regret that now! We finally stopped today! My wife ordered the chicken salad sandwich with tater tots and a one trip salad bar. I had the "plate of the day": beef stroganoff, green beans, fried zucchini and a slice of Pecan pie! I too, had the one trip salad bar. The salad bar was fresh and ample with a good selection. Our plates were more than enough! Huge chunks of chicken and tons of tots! EVERYTHING on my plate was delicious. We both have to go boxes! The Pecan pie you ask? Well, it was good enough for us to buy a whole one to take home! Great food at a great price! Highly recommend! read more

They are opening a bakery inside with all the homemade pies we got turnovers peach they were to die for

Stopped In was working past lunch time decided to get a bite to eat. I had heard about the chicken fried steak how good it was so I ordered one and it lived up to its reputation. The steak was tender and the batter was not real thick and stuck to the meat. Seasoned perfect. On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 9. I took a pic and sent it to my wife and she said order her one to go. I will be back! read more
