Why People Go Crazy For This One Chicken-Fried Steak In Small Town Texas
I’m not exaggerating one bit. Texans come from far and near to indulge in chicken-fried steak at Mary’s Cafe in Strawn because it’s simply the best in the state. Perfect texture and taste, and an atmosphere absolutely oozing Southern hospitality. If you haven’t had a chance to try the CFS here, you’re missing out on one of the best culinary experiences your tastebuds will ever have.
Everything about Mary's just screams small-town, down-home Southern cookin'. It's tiny, unassuming, and filled with friendly locals.
Rather than wasting energy perfecting the atmosphere, Mary's directs that focus towards the quality of the food - and I'd say they've got it just right.
Hundreds of our readers have proclaimed the CFS at Mary's to be the very best in Texas, with its crispy crust giving way to succulent, tender, melt-in-your-mouth steak on the inside.
Hospitable waitstaff are a huge part of the overall experience at a restaurant, and the customer service is outstanding at Mary's. You'll feel like you're eating Sunday supper with the family!
