Definitely worth your drive from anywhere! My husband and I shared the Texas burger and large chicken fried steak. For reference, my husband is 6’5 and that burger made his hands look small. The burger was perfectly done and juicy. The steak could be cut with a fork. The most impressive part of the meal is the gravy. Only restaurant I have ate at that you could 100% tell the gravy is made from scratch just like your grandmother made it.Mary talked with us as we were leaving and she’s such a kind person. Absolutely deserved to be on the bucket list and now we have checked it off our bucket list, and we will be back.

Waited an hour and a 45 min before we ever got any food ,meanwhile 5 other tables who came after our table got there food . Paid 16 dollars for a paper thin chicken fried chicken that was hard as a rock . And the rest of my party complained everything was dry .waitress was no where to be found the majority of the night and they stacked everyone in one room so it was so loud no one could have a conversation.

Fun place to visit! As seen on Texas bucket list! We were in the area and decided to stop in! Chicken fried steaks are huge! I like how thin they are! Like how much gravy comes out with dinner. Salad not my favorite...like it more leafy not shredded*Nice they bring dressing to table just wish salad on side was leafy* Decor plain not much on walls. Bought a t-shirt!! Will be back soon!

Never had calf fries served quite like this. Not enough gravy and I have always had them sliced then fried. My take is that there was not enough seasoning throughout the dish since there was far less seasoned breading through the dish being fried whole like this. The chicken livers were excellent and a very large portion even with the small order.

Food was basic, took forever and very over priced. 2 sandwiches 1/2 order fries, 1/2 order Owings, 2 drinks over $40. Server was nice but put orders in wrong, and never really around.

Hopefully just caught them on a bad day. Took forever to get food. For 2 people. Parts of meal came out at different times. Waitress forgot to place our fried pickle order. Was a little over an hour drive to get here. So doubt I'll be back.
