Walked in one evening randomly because I have seen all the hype and wanted to try it out . I try dives and locally owned restaurants all over Texas and the US . It was Tuesday so they were running specials on . I ordered the CFS was told fries were my only option as a side since it was Hamburger Day and they weren’t making mashed potatoes.My salad was brown lettuce with tomatoes on it and not what I was looking at in thier pictures online .When my order came out the grease poured off the waffle fries the CFS was thin . The staff was not very welcoming it was a very get what you get type of experience. Cleanliness I will give a 2 on because it’s a typical dirty greasy spoon . All in all the place probably use to be amazing but I fear I arrived about 20 years too late for that experience . For what we spent on 2 meals with no options and bad service . We could have saved and went to a nicer establishment and actually got what we wanted side wise . People still give amazing reviews and it has me baffled on their mind set or lack of experiences and food. This place is horrible ! Give other locally owned places in this town a try and steer clear of this one .

Got the country fried steak, I've never tasted chicken and gravy that tasted actually like nothing let alone a chewy chicken, would not recommend. Staff are nice though.

Waitress was good but took over an hour to get our food

Been there three times and the service is terrible and the owner get mad when I wanted a steak last night Don’t recommend to anyone I won’t be back

Omigoodness, how is it that we are this many days old and never knew about this place that's only 2-1/2 hrs from home????? We just enjoyed their famous chicken fried steak made with ribeye and hand cut waffle fries. Thank you, Dawn, for serving us well and filling us in on the history of Jakes and Dorothy's. We are already looking forward to stopping in the next time we're passing through.

If you want subpar food this is it. Takes for ever to get your food & they totally mess it up. Don’t make it right either. Use to be good prior covid sure not now.

Great food, great service, if you leave here hungry, that's your fault.

Definitely not fast food. But if you want genuin awesome food. You came to the right place. It is well worth the wait. I highly recommend. This place is filled with history as well with over 75 years of service.
