Jake & Dorothys Cafe - Stephenville
Syd Grant This was on my list to visit so we planned a trip specifically coming here from lunch on our way back home to Fort Worth from the hill country.
Caught them after the Sunday lunch rush so sat right down and ordered. Love the old school diner with the soda fountain bar. Fresh pies were on display and had to save room too.
The staff is all very friendly and down home. The prices are reasonable as well.
I had the small (next size is double and then a triple party is XL) chicken fried steak with their fresh cut waffles fries. The CFS was remarkable and lived the gravy as well. Glad I opted for smaller size so I could have some pie. My wife let me have a bite of her patty melt and it was so delicious! You can taste the difference in a fresh groin beef patty too!
The pies were amazing but my cherry jubilee was exceptional. Loved the homemade crushed crust and nuts.
Great place to stop and have some down home cooking!
