Jake Dorothy's Cafe - Stephenville

We eat there every time we drive through Stephenville. Food is always very good. Prices were great and German chocolate pie was unbelievable.

I came up to visit my nephew who goes to Tarleton state. He had heard from alumni that they used to always go to this café and they had great prices. We looked up online and the prices were awesome. It said the chicken fried steak plate was $7.95 appetizers were $4.95. I had my puppy with me so we weren’t going into the café. We were just gonna order to go food. I ordered it without even looking at the menu. I had already seen the menu online.. At counter waiting for my food, I decided to scroll through the menu. Come to Find the prices to be more than triple. The chicken fried steak Was $17.95. I had ordered two of them and an order of jalapeño poppers. My bill was almost $50. My nephew and I took our meals to the park to eat while my puppy ran around. I am not kidding when I say the worst in my entire life. It tasted like they made chicken fried steak and the waffle fries in the microwave. They were both the batter was not crunchy. I was telling my nephew maybe the salad is the best part of the whole plate. I will say, thankfully the lettuce was crisp but….. Instead of the letters, be chilled or cold it was lukewarm. Neither of us ate a quarter of the chicken fried steak and we probably had about two waffle fries and piece. We had both been very hungry, but both our stomach were upset after eating a very little amount. We threw the rest of the meals a way. Oh, I forgot to mention that the jalapeño poppers were disgusting as well. I have never in my life a worse than this. After we threw away our me, we headed back to where we were going, and even when we passed the café, We both felt like we were going to puke just seeing the place.

Good home cooking style place with very reasonable prices I've been eating here for about 55 years of their 75 years in business. Any place that last 75 years tells you it good and been good for awhile.
