I ordered the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and fried okra. My CFS was a tasty, tender steak with a nice crispy crust and sides were good. My brother has the fried catfish and enjoyed it. I was full so got a slice of coconut pie to go (picture would have been better if the pie hasn't traveled an hour home). Pie was okay but maybe should have gotten chocolate or lemon. Overall, I can definitely recommend The Farmstead.

I am so happy that I found the Magnolia Cafe in Durant, Oklahoma! This is the best run cafe I have…read morebeen to in a long time! The manager, Chris stays right up front and is a real hands on style manager. He makes sure that the customers are well taken care of by the wait staff( who are all friendly and knowledgeable as well as hard working). The decor is attractive and spotlessly maintained. The kitchen staff gets the food out very promptly and the bacon, eggs, potatoes, biscuits and gravy were all cooked and seasoned to perfection! Everything was so good that I drove through a flooding deluge of rain and lightning to eat there the next morning! Chris remembered me(after only one visit) and greeted me by name! I will definitely be eating here on every trip I make to Durant!

She seems like the type of person that smiles and laughs easy. I really enjoyed her as a server. Next up, coffee. I drink mine black so it has to be good. It was! It tasted like they brewed it fresh just for me in that moment. I suspect they are cleaning their pots regularly so the burnt taste doesn't carry over like in some of the large chain breakfast restaraunts. Breakfast was good, I had the Mexican omelette and the salsa was really good! I forgot to take a picture before I cut it all up, but it was a good size and I got full before I could make it to my hashbrowns and pancake

Called my daughter she had already arrived and said the gate was open when they got there. So guess who gets to open the gate in the rain? Me, in the rain and dressed in my new Easter attire. We were quickly seated, and presented with the Easter Brunch menu. A waitress came by and took our drink orders. She brought them and then we sat and waited and waited. No one knew who was taking care of our table. We finally placed our order and the food arrived at 11:53. The 12pm patrons started arriving. My son in laws order was wrong 3 times. So we didn't get to all eat together waiting on his correct order to arrive. We were apologized to profusely. The sweetest employee kept apologizing over and over. We came here last year for Easter and will probably return next year. The saving grace was the arrival of the Easter Bunny and the indoor Easter egg hunt. #DenisonTexas #GraysonCounty

Small interior offering 4 tables and a line up of bar stools. The kitchen and pantry are fully exposed. We were greeted by a gent opening the door for us and friendly hellos! The menu provides a wide selection of country fair with twists on cosmopolitan selections (the country bennie is a must). No pre-cut fries on site,! Everything looked and tastes freshly prepared. Will definitely make the trek again!

1836 Café in Bells, TX is a true hidden gem and worth every stop. From the moment I walked up to…read morethe door, the smell alone let me know I was in for something special. Inside, the atmosphere is small-town comfort at its best -- casual, welcoming, and the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. I ordered the Chicken Bennie, and it was absolutely outstanding. A homemade biscuit served as the base, soft and fluffy on the inside with just the right touch of crisp on the outside. On top of that came perfectly fried chicken tenders, a runny egg that tied everything together, and a generous pour of rich, savory sausage gravy. It all came with a side of crispy fried potatoes that were cooked just right -- golden and flavorful without being greasy. Every bite was pure comfort food perfection. The coffee was smooth and satisfying, the kind that pairs perfectly with a hearty breakfast. Service was excellent as well -- friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made the whole experience even better. You can tell the staff really cares about their customers and their food. Overall, 1836 Café is exactly what you hope to find in a small-town spot: great food, great people, and an atmosphere that keeps you wanting to come back. I'll definitely be returning, and I highly recommend it to anyone passing through or nearby.
