They only have one waitress, 2 girls that really do most of the work, and an owner who checks in and makes sure everyone is well taken care of. All and all, it was pretty great, with a no joke Chicken Fried steak! We saw this on the Daytripper on YouTube, and decided toDallas. A few things before you come: 1. It's 1 1/2 from the lake higlands area of dallas. 2. 2 60YO people can pay $2 and can share a small CFS. 3. IT WILL BE $24.00 for for your dinner.

No. NO. NO!!! Best chicken fried steak in Texas? Hell no. I ordered the medium and it's big for…read moresure but it's pancake thin and 60% tasteless. Why 60%? Because apparently only maybe 40-50% of the steak was seasoned. Nothing special. It tastes like McCormick seasoned salt or simple salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Most of the steak wasn't seasoned and the flour was not crispy. It's like something I can muck up at home by myself. It's soggy and oily with only the very last part and edge of it being crispy (barely) and really thin and dry. If you've ever messed up trying to fry some chicken/fish at home and the batter a mushy like stuffing that's how this batter is. Is it the worst? Ummmmm... I had frozen CFS from Walmart that was worse but that was at least a bit crunchy. I know you'll still eat the CFS cuz of the BS "best CFS in Texas" YouTube and opinion pieces. Just order the small. You thank me later.

We always make it a point to stop at Runaway Train Cafe when we're passing through Brownwood on our…read moreway to Fredericksburg. It's one of those places we genuinely look forward to every time. The restaurant is set inside an old train car, which is just really cool and different. The hamburgers are always spot on -- juicy and full of flavor -- and I can't pass up the Reuben. It's perfectly toasted with plenty of meat and just tastes great every single time. The service is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the stop even better. It's become a tradition for us, and it never disappoints. If you're anywhere near Brownwood, it's definitely worth pulling off the road for.

Newton's has been our go to restaurant when we want to enjoy some delicious food. We normally only…read morecome here for dinner, which is when we had the ribeye and chicken fried steak! The ribeye was perfectly cooked, tender and perfectly seasoned. My wife always gets the chicken fried steak. It's a huge meal and a heck of a deal. Each plate came with mashed potatoes and some veggies. I love desserts and I am always trying new places to find the best desserts. I can honestly say that Newton's bread pudding is the best bread pudding I have ever had and is one of my favorite desserts. I follow their social media and I always see their burger Tuesday's. We happened to be passing through and decided to stop in. Carlos was our server and he was on top of things and he offered great customer service. I got the triple meat smash burger with grilled jalapeños and bacon added. My wife got the buffalo chicken sandwich. They were both tasty. I would definitely stop by again for their burgers but their steaks are still my go to. And of course we had to finish our meals with a bread pudding!!

Country decor is fitting for the "cowboy chef" and the menu falls right in line. The chicken fried…read moresteak was great, sorta wished my grilled veggies and mashed potatoes was separated on my plate instead of basically mashed together under the steak and gravy. My wife had the filet and the kitchen was nice enough to sub a gluten free pasta for the blue cheese gnocchi that was on the menu. The pasta was buttery and rich, very rich but my wife enjoyed it and said the steak was up there with the best steak she's ever had. Get the bourbon glazed carrot.. trust me.

The problem I have is they don't seem consistent on their operating hours. Yelp shows they were open until 9:00 PM Saturday night. My wife went there around 7 PM and they were closed.

This place has been here for 60+ years and the exterior and furnishings are old, and worn, yet quite comfy. As they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover." We decided to split a cheeseburger and fries. It was really good and the fries are thin-cut waffle fries. Next we had pie...pecan and coconut cream. Yes!! As good as advertised. We met the current owner, the daughter of the original owners. She's been here her whole life.... Carrie. Interesting lady. After 5:00 on Tuesdays, burgers are $1 and the cheeseburger is $2. There are other nightly specials, as well. Come out and support this local legend!!

Value: 3 stars - it was food and it was cheap, value really depends on how much you are willing to pay for more flavor and texture. Overall: 2.5 stars - Would not recommend. There is a McDonalds one block away. Gas station food. They were friendly and the prices were cheap. We had the CDP breakfast. One egg, one pancake, two slices of bacon and a side of hash browns. The has browns were good, the egg was an egg, the bacon was bacon and the pancake was a large, flat, vehicle for unremarkable syrup. Would not recommend. There are not a lot of choices here for Sunday Brunch, next time we come this way we will probably try the Big Cup Eatery and Bar. If a full parking lot is any indication of quality.

Stopped along the way to Austin. Family had a party melt, chicken nachos, and a burger…read more The burger was ok. A little too thick of bun for my taste (too rollish too). Nachos were disappointing. The chicken was seasoned so I'd say above average. The portion was large. But the cheese seemed canned. No peppers or onions. No sour cream, salsa, or guacamole. Patty melt was ok. Meat was a little chewey and bread was toasted but not flavorful. I will say that if you want pie. I watched a dozen carry out orders. Also admitted one of tallest meringues I've ever seen. We just weren't in mood for pie. Service was ok. My water was empty for about 1/4 of my meal. They were it overwhelmed and had numerous empty tables. She was very friendly fly though. Ambiance is a charming little roadside cafe. Lots of neat salt and pepper shakers in a display case on the wall. Parking was not difficult but certainly more difficult that average. Looked like a popular chocolate place was next door.
