This is a must "get off I35 and drive to place"!
It is a quaint little house that holds eating space in one room with 3 bars to sit at to dine. As a patron sitting near stated, "It's like eating in an airplane, but so worth it!" I agree wholeheartedly! The staff is super nice and the service is great!
I had the Dolly Parton and it did not disappoint. The decor just adds to the ambience. The servers had great pride for the place and cooks in the kitchen. Please do yourself a favor and get off of I35 in Waxahachie and dine here.

We went to try Country Cafe for our daughter - father lunch. This was a great choice - the service was great. We will be going back. We had the breakfast chicken fried steak, scrambled eggs, biscuit & gravy, hash browns. Very filling and delicious..!! A very nice cozy mom & pop atmosphere...

I came across this delightful cafe while traveling the backroads between Dallas and Waco. It is a small place and I almost didn’t stop but I am so glad I did. Walking through the entrance I was transported back to the late seventies, felt like I had stepped into 1978 and it was glorious! The place is small with just a few tables, so I bellied up to the bar and ordered a nice large iced tea. The menu itself looked like it was typed on a typewriter and if it was not for the modern prices, I would have sworn it was actually a menu from 1978. The place was filled with several regulars that you just knew came there almost every day. Since I was in that seventies state of mind, I ordered the Grilled Chopped Steak ( aka Salisbury Steak ) it was so good, I gobbled that sucker right up. I was actually kind of sad to leave the place. If I lived in Waxahachie, I could easily see myself trying to eat here at least once a week… go give it a try!

Hamburger Steak
Food was delicious. Coffee was hot. The finning is a bit tight and quite small. Very homey. Portions are not the greatest, menu prices reflect it. We enjoy chicken fried steak and breakfast steak.

The place was a cute little hole in the wall
Breakfast stops right at 10:45! We ended up getting lunch, which was very tasty.. Service was a bit slow once we got the food. Overall, nice spot and good prices.

Place was ok. I got pecan crusted fried chicken and my wife got fish and chips basically. Some of the food was delicious and some wasn't. Fish was delicious but they didn't have malt vinegar. Mashed potatoes were out of a box. Coleslaw was delicious. Place was too hot inside and the tables are super close.

Food was good, servers were friendly. I enjoyed lunch with family.
When we drove up, it looked like there were too many cars parked outside to be able to get a seat inside, but don't just assume you can't get a seat, go on in and check availability. Don't expect to be able to have a private conversation though, it's way too small for that.

I gave 3 stars on atmosphere...but it is really just that this restaurant is very small. If you want a sense of privacy, this is not the place to go. However the service is really good and the food is great.
Breakfast is what shines here. They have so many different plates on the menu that you could maybe eat here every week and not eat the same thing in a year. Eggs are always cooked how they are ordered. Hashbrowns are crispy. Bacon is cooked crisp and is delicious. Gravy is good but not anything particularly special.

CFS with mashed ‘taters and fried okra: very tasty for under $10.
Fish&shrimp combo (today’s special on the board): equally tasty.
Service: friendly but a tad off.
Inside: totally charming space.

This is how breakfast in America should be. A classic southern diner with great service, amazing food and a cozy space. It's not the largest place, so get there early but once you go, you'll eat there twice a week till they size you up for a casket. I recommend their Cowboy special.
