Best chips and home made salsa ever! Nice, quite, everyone knows your name place. Everyone loves Jeans's. Even out of towers rave about Jean's! read more

The exact hamburger you crave when driving through a small town with fresh cut fries. 1/2 lb cheeseburger with bacon and grilled jalapeños.

This place a cute little place. It's obvious lots of locals like it. Very clean for a little hole-in-the-wall. Service was alright but, as others said, locals get the good service. I also had two toddlers with me and we've been driving for days, so our waitress had a good amount of patience and was still kind. The food was okay. This is what earns this place a solid 3. It won't make you sick but you won't be craving it either. I didn't touch my salad. Looks like it was pulled out of a bag and some of it was wilty. We probably wouldn't stop again but I don't regret it either. read more

The food is good comfort food. Their service is prompt and friendly. The building could use some attention, and they used to have fresh pies on display. Every other Thursday night they have a live band of local entertainment playing music from the 50's and early 60's. Great talent! Their fish is the best in the area. read more

Really kinda mid id rather just make my own food at home. Grilled chicken was too tough and the enchiladas were too small and too greasy a without anything to complement about them. I mean if im old and don't have any tastebuds left this place would prolly be the best thing since medicare read more

Small town place with a small town feel. I felt out of place and the food was meh compared to anywhere else in the world. It might be great for this town, but I could also see this being a place that locals are proud of. The server was nice, can't complain. read more

Great service, excellent value, very good diner food, and cute clean atmosphere. What more could you want? Breakfast is top notch!

Perfect!!! Have loved everything we've tried here and will always make the long drive to Cross Plains to eat here. Good country food and super nice folks working there also!! 2 Thumbs Way up !!!! read more

We have eaten there several times and we love it! The food is always hot and good. Love their taco salad. It has a homey feel and the people are so nice. read more

Just good old country style cooking. The service is good and no one gets in a hurry or rushes you. Apparently a favorite for locals.

It is a very nice place in a very small town, with very friendly wait staff. It was very crowded at 2:05 PM on a Thursday which is an indicator that the food is good. As crowded as it was it seemed to be quiet. I enjoyed the food and the environment, but I do enjoy small towns. It is in the middle of cattle country, and everyone seemed to be very nice. I would have given it 5 stars, but I wouldn't want to mislead the non-Texans among us. read more

Jean's Feed Barn - Restaurant - American Near Me - Cross Plains, Texas

I've eaten here with and without family. Jean's is consistent with their food which is good and with their waitstaff which is not good. I'm glad that they've kept their menus since covid and haven't done like everyone else and switched it up. Customer Service: One thing I've noticed about many small town restaurants is that most of the waitstaff tends to visit a lot with the local customers while on the job. Here, it's not so much of the visiting but that locals get better service than out-of-towners. I end up having to holler to get my drink refilled, get more napkins, get the ticket, etc. - 1 star Food: Their enchiladas are awesome! Both the beef & cheese. Also their quesadilla. I've had their appetizer sampler and fried pickles. All good. - 5 star Price: Decently priced, a little better than average that I'm happy with. - 4 stars read more

Great food and home style cooking. Small town Atmosphère. Try breakfast homemade Biscuits, or lunch and dinner.

Wonderful service and delicious food. Fried pickles recommended for appetizer. Clean and would return when in the area. read more

This place is a great throw-back type diner with some good old fashioned food and friendly staff. I have only eaten here one time, but I am already looking at including it on my trips itenary every time I'm coming through. read more

DONT BOTHER STOPPING!!! I wouldn't give this place any stars if that was an option. The service was non-existent. If your not from Cross Plains keep on moving. Or at least go down the street to the Mexican restaurant. They're super quick and kind. read more

This is the food you expect to find in a small town café. Wait staff was fast and friendly. Both of us had the hot steak open face sandwich special of the day. Very good. apple cobbler for dessert. We'll be back. read more

Jean's Feed Barn - Open face hot steak sandwich. Really good. - American Near Me - Cross Plains, Texas

Always great service! The burgers are marvelous. The breakfast biscuit and gravy is something awesome.You had better be hungry! Tonight I had the rib-eye, and ask for medium. I should had asked for medium rare. While it had plenty of flavor, it was a little dry. I don't cook a steak that well for medium. My family loved their meals. I still recommend Jean's. It is well worth a trip from Brownwood. read more

Jeans was solidly ok. We may have caught them at a bad time, but we felt like we definitely got the out of towner's treatment. I don't doubt they can put out solid food, but it wasn't a stop I'd make again to find out. read more

best chicken fried steak ever!!!!! stopped while taking son back to Air Force base... The CFS was awesome!!!! read more

I ate there twice for REH days. The service was good and attentive, even with a large group of customers. My coffee was always filled. The portions are large for a "I have work to do" type. The waitress was willing to let me do some shifting to my breakfast selection. My only problem was the sausage was a little over done. read more

Pulling up we were worried it would be another small town, smokey, greasy spoon. Walked in to the smell of good food, and happy personable waitresses. Service was fast and interactions were comfortably pleasant. The fried pickles for an appetizer were the best I have had. This is NOT a place that just uses the cheapest food truck ingredients. Real cheese on the kids quesadilla means our 5y/o ate all of it with a smile. Real beans, fresh romaine, and even something I haven't seen in a while: carrot pineapple salad! My wife and I had the chicken fried steak, which I strangely like with an enchilada on top. Mmmmmm. All of us are happily fed and will gladly make the 30 minute drive to eat here again. Wish there was one in our town. read more

Big fan of the feed barn, very friendly staff and good food. If you go on tuesday, the special is steak finger basket and it's pretty delicious. The only problem with Jean's is they never have any veggies. They have salad but that doesn't really count. The funny thing is they are right next to the grocery store, how hard is it to go and get some veggies and cook them. But other than that its defanitly the best restaurant in town. REMEMBER TUESDAY STEAK FINGER BASKET!! read more

After having given up chicken fried steak years ago, I had a good feeling about Jean's and took a chance. Wow. This is like the true, hand breaded, home-fried steaks grandma used to make--not too much breading, not too huge, served with good cream gravy on the side. Hubby had the steak fingers, also hand breaded, but with more coating. Both were good but chicken fry won first place. This might be my one guilty- pleasure fried steak place on earth. Coconut pie was decent, too. Friendly service in a small-town café deep in the heart of West Texas. read more

We ordered a cheeseburger and a Mexican Plate. Both were delicious. Food came out quickly and hot. Servers were attentive, and friendly. We're glad we stopped in! read more

Today (Sunday) I met up with the HOG riders from Abilene and we rode over to Cross Plains, a town I've not been to. We ate at Jean's Feed Barn. I tell you what people this place is TOPS! I went with breakfast while some of the others had the lunch specials . You have got to go there if your passing trough Texas and if you live in Abilene it's only 45 min away at the most. I LOVED IT. read more

Don't be fooled by the name or appearance on the outside, this is a great local spot to grab breakfast. I stopped in on my way through cross plains and I'm glad I did. The staff is friendly and attentive. The coffee is hot and fresh. But the standout is the food- one of the best pancakes I've had anywhere, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. The hasbrowns were crispy, the bacon just right. Stop in and check it out! read more

This place is so good. Everything is homemade. Delicious fried pickles, fresh homemade ranch. The cheese enchiladas are wonderful. Chips are also fresh. Service is prompt and very friendly. read more

Had the cowboy breakfast. Chicken fried steak was excellent. Lightly breaded and fried to perfection. Hash browns were crispy all over and not greasy. Huge fluffy biscuit! Yum! Excellent service. Will come back here again. read more

Outstanding service, wonderful atmosphere, and great food!!!!! The best chicken fried steak in the state of Texas!!! I have been going to Jean's since the late 80's. They have given a red carpet treatment to my Grandparents, Parents, Cousins, Uncle, and sister for many years. There's always a mandatory stop whenever I come back home from military leave in the Navy. read more

We were here for Robert E Howard Days and had lunch twice. They have friendly staff and good food. Large portions! I had the hot and spicy grilled catfish and the cheese enchiladas. Be forewarned- the cheese enchiladas come with meat sauce instead of enchilada sauce, so not good for vegetarians. Ate too much to try the pie. read more

If you are looking for home cooking this is the place to be. Their best bets are as follows and in this order: Sunday lunch ( roast beef is amazing), breakfast, Friday night catfish, and finally a hamburger at lunch. If you stray from this list and don't care for your food, don't blame me; otherwise enjoy your delicious meal. read more

Stopped by this spot on a road trip. Super friendly hometown cafe with very good service. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked fresh and delicious. We opted for the cheese burger, and we were not disappointed. Soft buns, fresh veggies, and cooked just right. The French fries are real potatoes and perfectly cooked. Then entire place was spotless. Not fancy, but a real gem. read more

So, while traveling for work I happened through Cross Plains TX. Never heard of it and never been there so was thinking something chain... I was starving and saw a Dairy Queen and stopped... The employee behind counter did not know how to run a credit card then the manager yelled out to cancel my order cause my card was no good.... I assured the crowd my card was very good cause she somewhat embarrassed me. A little old man suggested a small cafe down the road. I was a little nervous when I pulled into Jeans but was so glad to be there. The food was very good, the service great and friendly staff. If you're ever in this town I recommend checking it out. read more

Came thru here and stopped in for lunch just over a year ago on a cross country trip. Waitress was friendly and recommended the chicken fried steak and fries which were not bad. Seemed like all locals. It's somewhat "rustic", basic and sparse in a country way, not bad. Food was decent, good portions and definitely better than the usual chain restaurant garbage you find in the big cities. If I were passing thru Cross Plains I would stop there again. Solid no-nonsense food. read more

We were just passing through Cross Plains for a stop at the Robert E. Howard House and decided to grab a bite to eat. Being indecisive, my husband and I ordered a few things and shared it all. The breakfast taco and Spanish breakfast taco were both delicious, but the reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is because of the gravy on the biscuits and gravy. I don't know if it is a regional thing, but up in Michigan where we're from, the gravy is thick and peppery, and has bits and chunks of ground sausage mixed in...but here it was kind of bland and runny. I added extra pepper but it didn't help. However, if I ever find myself back in Cross Plains, I would definitely eat here again--I would just get more breakfast tacos! :) read more

Coming back from a morning of fishing and thought we'd stop and get the chicken fried steak that was getting such great reviews. The waitress was super friendly but service was slow. We ordered onion rings for an appetizer and when they finally came they were room temperature at best. The meals came a while after that. I love a good chicken fry but this was not it. The gravy was good and the baked potato was ok. The salad was just sad and the chicken fry left a lot to be desired. Probably won't stop here again. The best part was the friendliness of our waitress. read more

We travel through Cross Plains frequently and have stopped at Jean's several times. The food is always unusually good, but it has been very slow service every time. Today we were almost finished with our meal before we got the requested salad dressing and steak sauce after going up to the counter a second time to ask for it. If you have the time, the food is good. read more
