First off the staff were amazing, food amazing and well worth the 2.5 hour drive to try Mary's. Best blooming onion I've ever had. Cam for the chicken fried steak and it didn't disappoint.

This is the epitome of a small town gem of a restaurant serving up great tasting homestyle food, big portions, and doing so with great, friendly service! The chicken fried steak is no joke. It's almost more like a giant milanesa, but...Read More

The 3 mile detour off the Interstate is so well worth it. Just serving a huge Chicken Fried Steak is not enough, this one is always tender and with the gravy on the side, it is served the way a CFS should be, not...Read More

It’s always encouraging to visit a restaurant where there is a waiting line. Our visit to this restaurant was during our roadtrip. The atmosphere of the place was busy, active, but organized and not loud. Service was attentive and helpful however...Read More

Stopped in here late during my travels and decided to give this place a whirl. There is plenty of parking, and it's a wait to be seated kind of place, and you pay at the counter upon leaving. I was greeted by a super...Read More

It's everything I had heard. I couldn't believe how busy they were on a random Monday afternoon at 3. Very good. And they weren't racist to us unlike the previous post. Come hungry!

Legendary Marys Cafe. My family has been traveling to Mary's for over 40yrs. The chicken fried steak is the main attraction, and with reason. It is what I compare, maybe unfairly, all others to. The Cafe isn't a bougie big city restaurant, it’s...Read More

Quaint, family friendly, and worth the drive! Go hungry. Mary's Cafe is an amazing place for chicken fried steak. I know they sell other food, but we go for the CFS! Explore downtown Straun when you are done.
