    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.

    Absolutely great to eat at but not so impressed with the quality/taste of food when they cater! Not enough parking either!

    Great chicken fried steak at Mary' Café. We watch the show The Daytripper with Chet Garner on TV…read more He did a segment on Mary's Cafe. So, we drove about 2 hours west of Fort Worth. The place is just an old diner in the town of Strawn. We showed up at 1130. They had nice crowd no wait. Sit down and order. We got a small and a medium chicken fried steak. For the sides fries and mash potatoes with a small salad each. The small steak is prefect size for me. But if you are hungry go for medium or the large. The chicken fried steak is made a little different than most. Not the usual type of breading. We really enjoyed the meal all was very good. The steak was tender and great flavor. Fries cook perfect and great for dipping into my gravy. Mary came around and took the order and she also went to each table and made sure you like the food. Very good service from all the staff. We will be back and you should give them a try.

    Came here based on the Daytripper review saying this was the #1 CFS place in Texas. I hate to give…read morea hometown, non-chain restaurant a bad review, but also want to be honest. I'm really surprised at how many four and five stars there are. Almost nothing we got had flavor: Queso - literally just cheese with nothing added - no salsa, no jalapeños, no onion - nothing. If you put queso on the menu, I think people expect it to have more than literally melted cheese. Chicken Fried Steak - loved that the breaded parts stuck to the meat and was excited to eat, but again, literally no flavor. We didn't finish it and we didn't take the leftovers. Mashed potatoes - No flavor AGAIN. We were so surprised and disappointed. You can see everyone there busting their tails though. Those women deserve every penny of every tip left for them.
