Came about 12:45ish tail of lunch rush so I know what's to be expected.
Took about 4-5 minutes for a greeting which is long even for this time of day.
Once greeted gave entie order.
Ordered Chicken Fried Steak, Fries, Collard Greens and Iced Tea. Was offered rolls and cornbread. Accepted 1 of each.
Drink came out quickly and food pretty quick after. Tea tasted great but a little sweet for my taste. Started with Collard Greens.. they were fantastic and the stars of the meal. Tasted fresh which seems odd for this time of year but they were well seasoned, not mushy, hot, and delicious. Fries were some sort of previously frozen product with a crispy coating, seasoning and not very potatoey. Chicken Fried Steak was also a previously frozen product and was warm not hot. Covered in a warm not hot liquidey cream gravy that was in the dire need of some cracked black pepper.
Roll was average. Cornbread was good but way too sweet for me as well. I want to taste corn not sugar. Breads were served with Margarine. Margarine should have died in the 90s real butter can't cost too awful much more. Service after first late interaction was fantastic and attentive. Ill try again another time but realized why I haven't been here in a while.

Lunch at the String Bean is always a pleasurable experience. The Lite Lunch items are just the right size.

I invited my friends to join me at String Bean in Richardson recently because I was feeling a little down. What better way to cheer up than to meet up with friends and share a little comfort food? I had the CFS(chicken-fried steak for you neophytes) while my friend had the chicken-fried chicken. That name has always bothered me. It's just fried chicken, right? What's with the redundancy? His wife had the daily special, which was turkey and dressing. Each entrée was around $12 except for the turkey, which was $16.99. I thought the Special was supposed to be cheaper than regular entrées? Our waiter was Zack, and he had the most delightful laugh, so I tried telling my best dad jokes just to hear him chortle. For dessert, we all split a bowl of homemade peach ice cream, which Zack claimed he made himself without a trace of irony. It was very tasty. By the time we demolished the ice cream, my sour mood had passed, and I was having a great day. Need a little mood enhancer? String Bean has something good on the menu for you.

Good food, home cooking, well seasoned, reasonable prices, quaint atmosphere, not crowded, clean tables and floors. Suggestions, negative on the meatloaf and banana pudding, everything else was good.
Server Monica was very friendly!!
