I have lived in Ennis for 2 yrs. I have been seeking the BEST Chicken Fried Steak served with white Country Gravy, and I found it here! Everything excellent! read more

We ate at this restaurant when we went to the Ennis bluebonnet festival in Texas. The food was average or a tiny bit below average. The service was very nice and kind of the atmosphere was kind of like a cafeteria-Ish. It was a bit cold feeling & not cozy, But it was very clean and the server was really nice. The blueberry pie was great! read more

Maybe it was an off day since we dined in the day their head chef was out on competition. We went with waiter's suggestion of "the only thing he orders" which was the chicken fried steak. The white gravy was super runny, even after they remade it. The breading on the CFS was overpowered by the garlic powder. The mac and cheese was bland and the sweet potato fries were soggy. The shrimp boil wasn't bad, just on the blander side. Giving an honest review of our experience because we believe date nights should be worth the spending cash. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great food, great service, great portion size. I am from Chicago. Specifically a polish area on the south side. This food brought me back. Highly recommend the potato pancakes. Haven't had those in over a decade and they hit home. Fish plate was good and the Ruben was also killer. We will be back! read more

Cute lil diner tucked in downtown Ennis. Friendly staff and lots of seating. Waitress was super kind and working hard. Food was good but could have been better. Grill cheese was cold on the inside and warm on the outside. Soup was loaded and good The seasoning on the chicken fried chicken and chicken strips wasn't our fav. But we would love to try breakfast next read more

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. read more

Food was cold and not good. I took one bite and returned it. The manager would not remove or discount the inedible meal. No apology from manager. I paid for full meal.

First time eating here and will be the last time. I ordered the seasoned fried fish, onion rings, and salad. The fish was nice and golden brown but didn't have one taste of seasoning or salt. The onion rings were super big with a cajun batter I didn't like that either (let people know it's a cajun batter) The salad was mid-crunchy, not fresh.i gave a two for the presentation only it look good but didn't taste good read more

Eaten here several times with good food. But the recent experience was not good. I ordered meat loaf lunch special as I have many times before. The piece of meat loaf received was very small at about three bites. I asked the waitress and she was indifferent. The dinner roll was dry and stale. However, the two sides were ample portions. Preparation time to serve was also very slow. read more

Amazing food and service! Don't sleep on the baked potato soup or the CFS! Just good cooking that hit the spot.

Best chicken fried steak! Down home service with great food made to order. Thank you for a great family lunch

Small little joint in a strip center little past downtown Ennis. Be careful as you may pass it. Had the chicken fried steak lunch special and I was not disappointed. Great ratio with breading and steak and the seasoning gave it a great flavor. Sides were fresh and tea was sweet. Why no pic? Not that type of guy. If it's good you're gonna know. If it's bad, I'm gonna tell ya. read more

Small town hospitality with home cooking. Don't take my word, stop by for yourself and you can thank me later.

We came from out of town (originally from Houston) for a nice little getaway trip and stumbled upon this place! Let me tell you, BEST CHOICE EVER! From the lovely southern hospitality to the amazing tastes this place has to offer, I completely fell in love. The batter of the fish and shrimp is so soft and just the perfect crunch. The fish just falls apart in your mouth combined with the tarter sauce, man oh man! I would definitely come back here just because! read more
