My mother decided that she was tired of waiting. She pulled the birthday card and off to Justin, Tx we went. So worth the drive a very inconspicuous building that if you drove by too fast you might pass it. Lucky for me my mother was driving. She hit the breaks and made the turn in. Immediately I was excited it said BYOB. Are they serious??? I just had gotten a nice bottle to celebrate later. Now I can enjoy with my meal? Happiness walked into the little building. We were cheerful greeted by Lizzy our all in one (very sweet and courteous) server. My mom picked a booth near the front door. Our server Lizzy came to our table pleasant, smiling and amazing attitude. She pointed out a dish my mom hadn't had in over 35 years. I saw the smile on my mom's face. I asked her to bring my mom some. They arrived looking amazing. My mom was so excited, now I had never heard of Calf Fries aka Sweet Bread. I tried one interesting flavor. I asked my mom "what type of meat it was?" Soon Lizzy walked up. My mom asked me to repeat the question. I do and they look at each other and laugh. My mom says "should I tell her or do you want to? Then says you know what? She smart let her guess. I guess..." Cow Balls" yes I was right. Cow Balls. I had no questions I immediately started cracking jokes. They were good. Back to the meal the special was chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, corn and green beans. All handmade that day flavor was amazing, portion size was huge and the price was great. First bite was full of flavor. Definitely would come back and would order something else. All around amazing experience. A lot of history in the building, food was outstanding and the atmosphere was quaint and friendly. All things good about small Texas towns. My mom was impressed and wants to take her friends. We drove from. Azle to Justin. Again, worth the drive. We took home a slice of pecan pie. Delicious as well as some homemade soap they make with the fat from the cooking. In a variety of scents. A hidden gem that needs to a stop if you can.

They’re baaack! And as good as ever. Charming - every bit of it, from the place to the people. The chicken fried steak was excellent. The grilled quail had outstanding flavor. I’ll be back to try everything else on the menu.

Food was amazing and staff was very friendly! Very unique menus, looked like the local newspaper. Steak was cooked perfect and was juicy to the last bite. Homemade dressing and desserts were so good we got some to go. Staff was so helpful, friendly and genuine. It was a little out of our way but it was 100% worth the detour!
