Chicken Fried Steak Lunch
Victoria E.

Stopped in after Bluebonnet festival for lunch there was about 15 minute wait but lots of folks in town. I had the BLT with side macaroni &cheese Tiki Hubby had CFS with mashed potatoes & corn. CFS was tender with crispy coating yummy white gravy good meal for $12.00 with plenty leftover. BLT was perfect creamy cheesy Mac. Great Tea. Mia our server was attentive and so nice even though she was so busy.

I have no earthly idea how this restaurant has received such good reviews in the past. Our experience was beyond horrible and I would give it -100 stars if possible. The nightmare began when our estimated 20 minute wait for a table turned into 50 minutes. The wait would have been ok if the food had been decent, but it was not. We ordered and things seemed promising as we got our drinks and salads very quickly. Our house salads were excellent and both were fresh and crispy. We were optimistic. And then we waited. And waited. And waited. And when we got tired of waiting, we waited some more. At one point I asked our waitress if the cook had quit. An hour and five minutes later our food came. It was horrible. My burger was obviously pre-cooked and had been sitting in a warming bin. It did not have the texture of fresh meat and it was just warm. No flavor. One of the worst burgers I have ever eaten. It was disgusting. I have no idea why the waitress asked me how I wanted my burger cooked because they all probably came from the same heating bin and were dry and overcooked. The "hand breaded" onion rings were flavorless and tasted like cardboard. The worst I have ever eaten, by far. Ketchup could not salvage them. Horrible. The wife had the one meat BBQ plate. The meat was not brisket but rather pot roast. It was dry, not tender, and flavorless. It was horrible. The potato salad was decent. The fries obviously were frozen from a bag. The problem with this place is that all the food is simple--either pre-cooked or something that could be prepared quickly. There is no reason for an hour wait. No excuses are acceptable. They said they were busy, but excuse me, that's your business. We wanted to try a dessert but after losing 2+ hours of our life to this place we just wanted to leave, so other people can review the pies because we were exhausted by this nightmare.

We had the best and sweetest server, I think her name was Sami. Our food was hot and ready fast. My one of the pork chops on my husbands' plate was a little undercooked but other than that it was all very delicious.

Breakfast taco

Chicken Fried Steak. Good onion rings.

Went here for lunch, wife had Salisbury steak, I had Chicken fried steak and daughter had lever with onions. I recommend the Salisbury steak.

Large portion of CFS. Could only eat half and took the desserts home.

Wait staff super friendly!! Young kids waiting tables but very kind and respectful. Food was hot, fast and tasty! Nice little place to drive in from WAXAHACHIE and get away from the hustle and bustle crowded city.

Bread pudding. Very tasty, but the lemon topping is not my thing. You might love it!

Great "hometown" cafe. Glad my friend told me about this place. To begin, it's nice and clean inside, everything looks "new". Tables are well spaced not crammed together. It's a bright and cheerful atmosphere. Without the overdone cutesy clutter many cafes are famous for. Service was good, although it seemed my servers kept changing. Still, they were are friendly and communicated well. I ended up ordering a lunch special for around $8.00 that included lunch portion CFS, two sides, a drink and a dessert. I picked fried okra and redskin mashed potatoes, iced tea and bread pudding. I have to say the CFS is one of the better I have ever had and the gravy was really good. Okra was very good. I liked the mashed potatoes with the skins left on but I coulda used some gravy on them too. I didn't ask because I really didn't NEED more cream gravy. As for desert, I had a choice of cobbler or bread pudding and went with the latter. It was good but I didn't care that much for the sauce which was like a lemon fried pie filling. Tasty but not my thing. Your mileage may vary! I will for sure try this place again, and soon. I look forward to sampling other items on the menu.

Chicken fried steak cream gravy (large size). Loaded potatoes, Mac n cheese.  Excellent! Very nice place.

Two years sgo, we had been on a country drive and the summer sun was getting ready to take a…read morenosedive. We were looking for a restaurant that was still open. Ennis is far enough from home to warrant dining out, but small towns including Ennis, often close up as early as 8 p.m. We happened upon Bailey's Cafe as a popular option and still open after 8. Bailey's has a terrific menu modestly priced with something for everyone, but my eyes were drawn to the fried catfish. We found ourselves there again the other evening and I ordered catfish again! I asked for lemon, ranch for my okra and some pickled jalapeño to eat with the catfish all over again. This time Bailey's had no pickled jalapeño, but they did offer sliced raw. The catfish was still tender and delicious as before and still AYCE, but it is plenty with two sides from the many they offer. My husband had CFS last time, an enormous thing. This outing he opted for for the fried chicken sandwich with onion rings - an absolutely huge sandwich. I started laughing. It turned out to be the Chicken Fried Chicken Sandwich. He kept it. But it was big! Everything was delicious. Service is polite and friendly with a houseful of locals in to dine. My catfish was $14.99 and I had dessert for $3.50, a personal caramel bundt cake. My husband had pie for $3.50. They have one unisex restroom, clean but tight. There are a few booths and mostly tables and chairs in the Texana decor dining room. It's a private parking lot and easy to get to south of downtown Ennis. I'm sure we'll back! I have posted photos from our previous visit 2 years ago with the existing patio and exterior, the CFS dinner and my catfish, and the dining room.

Amazing food! I highly recommend this place for your next meal. Everyone was so nice and…read moreaccommodating

I've visited Ennis a few times, but never got around to the Waffle Experience. In fact..., I always thought the "Whataburger" building was the Waffle House. Instead..., it was a WTF moment when I realized that the double-wide mobile home sized bldg behind the burger joint was in fact, Waffle House. This particular Waffle House has a lot of miles on the odometer..., but it also has a lot of hard won character. It was noisy and it was cramped, and yet at the same time, despite the pandemonium, the staff were very friendly, courteous, and efficient (maybe 6 minutes from order to table, and they got the order right). It was kinda apparent that this was the Waffle House where everyone knows your name. Despite the visuals..., it had a good vibe. The food was EXACTLY what I expected. Not high cuisine for sure, but absolutely serviceable. So..., whenever I'm in Ennis, I will be returning to the Waffle House every Sunday for my once a week "traditional" breakfast. Waffle House of Ennis: A big, weird, thumbs up. (BTW: For any of my friends in fitness who read this and wish to say anything but kind words.., remember..., I know you go to Dairy Queen)
