The daily special was chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans a dinner roll. We both had that. The food was amazing. Hot, fresh and delicious. Way to much for us the eat it all so we brought some home for tomorrow. The service was fast and friendly . Oh I forgot to mention that the special came with peach cobbler. It's about 40 minutes from Weatherford and well worth the drive.

The ambience is hard to beat in this old time building just off of the highway. The food is really…read moregood, but the service is absolutely some of the best. This little cluster restaurants along my 20 for such an incredibly small town, is incredible. You can't go wrong in Thurber Mingus, especially at this house.

Love this place me and wife stop here from Haslet whenever we are in that area. I'm a huge CFS fan…read moreand absolutely love Mary's. It's not greasy or salty, just enough pepper and the best part is the breading stays on the steak when you cut it. A medium is big enough for 2 people to share but if you want leftovers get the large that is plenty for 2 with enough leftover for breakfast or lunch the next day. Also seen other reviews mention the salad is iceberg, every time I've been there the salad has been romaine and always fresh. The staff is very friendly and for as busy they can get they stay on top of it. Strawn is a nice quiet town tucked off the highway and Mary's definitely gives you that small town feel, if it wasn't an hour and half drive for me I'd be there every week, for now I gotta settle for every few months.

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!!

I'm always expected to be let down because it is soooo good every time coke here. Everything is still great. Talked my friend into meeting here and he was blown away with how great it was. I forgot to take a picture this time. My friend is not a leftover person, but he took his leftover steak fingers with him and also ordered slice of buttermilk pie to go. Our waitress was a sweetheart. I forgot her name, believe short young lady with black hair. Forgive me for not remembering her name, but she was wonderful and very helpful for any questions my friend had. Did notice someone ordered I believe cheese curds and did not know they had these. I will try to remember this next time I'm here. I will always update this place every-time I come here. Thanks for the greasy food.

I travel to Abilene somewhat often for business, in and out same day. I'm usually coming through…read morethe area of this restaurant in the morning, and back by again around lunchtime. And I usually stop at the place across the highway. Today I decided to check out New York Hill and I was glad I did. The ambience is like being in a house that had its living room converted to a dining room- which it may very well have been. I'm not sure. Regardless, there are booths and tables, and a nice view to the north. All good. I was greeted by a nice young lady who took my drink order (coffee) and brought a menu. I liked they served the coffee in a thermal mug as it stayed hot! The menu was extensive, plate lunches, burgers, sandwiches, salads... a bit of everything. The dishes were typical of what we call "home cooking" around these parts. I ordered the Texas Sizzler- a chop steak with onions and jalapeños, smothered in melted cheese. It was quite delicious, and since we just had our first cold snap for the fall, it really hit the spot as a dish that will warm you up. The salad that came with the meal was very good, and had a nice chunky blue cheese dressing. Crinkle cut sweet potato's fries were good, as was the pinto beans. There are lots of other sides to choose from. Overall, everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and they. Checked on me often. Bottom line is I will be back to try some of their other offerings.

The atmosphere is very kitchie...a whole 50's vibe! And their home market hot sauce...I buy 3 every time we go because we love it. Oh and their strawberry shakes are the best.

In fairness they told us it would be a wait, but we chose to stay anyway. Once it got there, Our breakfast was very average. The scrambled eggs were more just broken eggs on the griddle than they were truly scrambled. The biscuits and gravy were ok, but once again not great. The really good thing was the pancake, which was delicious. It was not a horrible experience but I'd probably try someplace else before I'd come back here.

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.

The menu leans heavily toward comfort food classics like meatloaf, lasagna, and shepherds pie, but lighter options like a chicken ceasar salad were also available. The desserts were definitely the highlight of our meal. Like the other menu items, the dessert portions are HUGE. My daughter and I split a piece of coconut cream pie, and we still didn't finish it. An amazing view, rustic atmosphere, and wonderful service rounded out the experience. If you're passing through the area, don't miss this place! I can't figure out why it wasn't packed to the gills.

We got the meatloaf, king ranch chicken, two teas and one desert and it cost us $54. And for that price we got served on flimsy paper plates with plastic forks. The food was less than average. We didn't finish our food and declined a to go plate. The cheddar biscuits had no flavor and were not warm. For desert ,we got the apple "crisp" which was not crisp at all. It was very mushy. Thank goodness we got ice cream with it. I am posting a picture of the Apple crisp. There is certainly a lot going on there. We stopped on The Junk Store (as they call it) and the sign was correct. We were not impressed and will not be back. To answer your response, the words "delicious" and "great" never left our lips.

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.

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!!
