    A great chicken fry, fries, and salad. $8.95
    Garry H.

    See if you agree. At some point, the population of a town gets big enough that the chain restaurants start taking over and the mom and pop's start to disappear. Abilene only has one original mom and pop left, the Dixie Pig. Well, the Dinner Bell Cafe in Graham, Texas is one of those FANTASTIC small town restaurants. They were SO busy, but service was quick and friendly. The daily special? Chicken fried steak of course! Bring it on! The chicken fry and mandatory white gravy were delicious. The fries were the perfect crispy. Even the honey mustard dressing on my salad tasted homemade! And all this for $8.95. I love small towns! If your ever at Possum Kingdom lake, head for Graham for lunch. You wont regret it!

    Breakfast menu.

    Think of a simple, country diner and you have Dinner Bell Cafe. Country style food is a great place to have breakfast or lunch.

    Food was great. Waitress friendly, but a little over worked and didn't check on us much. But I would certainly come back.

    The food was delicious I had the chicken gizzards and my husband had the chicken fried steak…read more.. The service was amazing .... And the ambiance was amazing as well even though it was raining outside it was very pleasant inside.....

    This place is a Texas institution, located in a small town west of Fort Worth about an hour, it is…read moreoff the beaten path a little bit but is always full of hungry patrons. I have heard about this place for years and I was excited about my first real opportunity to eat there. The menu has all your southern comfort food staples but is famously known for their chicken fried steaks. And since I love a good chicken fried steak, that's exactly what I ordered. First off, you get to choose whether you want a small, medium, or large size. Let me preface this with, "I eat a lot", but knowing this place is famous for their portions, I ordered the small. It was plenty enough for me. The medium comes with 2 chicken fried steaks, and the large with 3. Unless you're sharing with someone, I'm not really sure who is actually eating that. Anyhow, my favorite part about this chicken fried steak is that the breading stays on the cut of beef. It doesn't fall off like it does when you cut it up like almost every other place serves it. I hear that's because they cook it on a flat iron skillet instead of deep frying it. I did not verify that claim, but nonetheless it was probably my favorite CFS eating experience because the thin breading stuck to the beef the entire time. It was well flavored with the gravy served on the side so you could add as much/little as you wanted... also a nice touch. I ordered fries and pinto beans for my sides. The fries are fresh cut potatoes and fried to perfection served in a heaping pile on the side of your plate. Pinto beans were tender and had the perfect amount of saltiness on them. Waitstaff is flying around this place taking care of every table with a smile. This place is great!
