Mary's Cafe

Several years ago I laid to rest my more than half century quest for the perfect CFS.
Mary's Cafe in Strawn Texas simply cannot be topped.  It's perfection.  I also like that Mary's is reminiscent of old Texas diners with nothing gentrified.  I smiled when I saw people who drove over 100 miles to Mary's.  I fly from Molokai with a visit to Mary's as a prime objective.

This is the best place to eat !!!!! Chicken fried steak is the house specialty , but there is nothing bad at Mary's.  It's hopping but the wait staff is friendly and attentive.  I am a personal fan of the calf fries.  If you haven't beef fit,s worth a special trip to Strawn!!!

We (11) went on a Saturday at 2:00 p.m. It was very crowded and we did not have a reservation. We did have to wait but only about 45 minutes. Once seated the wait staff was a little overwhelmed so there was a long wait for drink orders. When the food came out we had to keep asking for things such as salad dressing, ketchup, gravy, potato fixings, etc. However, the chicken fried steak is at the top of my list of best chicken fried steak in Texas. The fries are good and so are the baked potatoes. This time next year we will call ahead. Oh, by the way, even the medium size chicken fried steak is almost to big to eat.
