    Side Salad
    Hayli C.

    Always love The Graford Cafe! Service is always good and food is even more amazing. Lots of sitting and cool atmosphere. The desserts are killer. Give them a chance, they're worth the drive too!

    The best patty melt sandwich I've ever had! Perfectly toasted rye bread, cheesy, with a good amount of grilled onions. Sorry, no pic as I must have been too excited to eat it that I forgot to snap a pic! The onion rings are HUGE and came out extremely hot. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars is the place has a strong oil or tar odor to it, and has for years. Otherwise, the food quality is always excellent!

    Country friendly and good food!

    Cest manufique! Mary makes a no nonsense GOOD chicken fried…read moresteak! A little too much flour, but ok. The service was OUTSTANDING! They only have one waitress, 2 girls that really do most of the work, and an owner who checks in and makes sure everyone is well taken care of. All and all, it was pretty great, with a no joke Chicken Fried steak! We saw this on the Daytripper on YouTube, and decided toDallas. A few things before you come: 1. It's 1 1/2 from the lake higlands area of dallas. 2. 2 60YO people can pay $2 and can share a small CFS. 3. IT WILL BE $24.00 for for your dinner.

    No. NO. NO!!! Best chicken fried steak in Texas? Hell no. I ordered the medium and it's big for…read moresure but it's pancake thin and 60% tasteless. Why 60%? Because apparently only maybe 40-50% of the steak was seasoned. Nothing special. It tastes like McCormick seasoned salt or simple salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Most of the steak wasn't seasoned and the flour was not crispy. It's like something I can muck up at home by myself. It's soggy and oily with only the very last part and edge of it being crispy (barely) and really thin and dry. If you've ever messed up trying to fry some chicken/fish at home and the batter a mushy like stuffing that's how this batter is. Is it the worst? Ummmmm... I had frozen CFS from Walmart that was worse but that was at least a bit crunchy. I know you'll still eat the CFS cuz of the BS "best CFS in Texas" YouTube and opinion pieces. Just order the small. You thank me later.

    Awesome food, service, atmosphere and menu. Fair priced…read more Clean environment. Will definitely be back and bring friends.

    We came here after a full day of biking, hiking, and kayaking at Lake Mineral Wells State Park,…read morewhere we were camping (keeping with our tradition of getting Tex-Mex for dinner after such excursions). Taqueria La Estrella has a high ranking, so we came in with high hopes. It's got that typical small town Texas restaurant vibe, and the chips and salsa were great, and you even get your own little personal salsa bowl, which was a nice touch. The margaritas (giant glasses) were also solid. Unfortunately, after that, everything was downhill. The queso was gloop with ground beef mush served on top. The lime chicken cilantro wasn't bad, but it was just very uninspired. We appreciated that there were cooked zucchini and squash on the side, but the chicken itself was really dry and we did not see any cilantro to speak of! The El Tejano was a combo plate that did not showcase much: the hard taco was basically just more slop in a shell and the enchilada was just covered in the queso goop and nothing else. Beans and rice were whatevs. Our daughter's cheese quesadilla kid's plate was as you would expect given the above. Our server was a nice kid, but it was clear that he was new because he didn't really seem like he knew the menu. But he was attentive enough. Anyway, we weren't expecting fireworks in Mineral Well, so this place pretty much lived up to expectations. Three stars.
