Mary's Cafe in Strawn Texas in the Dallas Morning News

[James2496]

I don't know about all of the allegations on here. But I do know that I love the food and have never had bad food or service there. (I have had too much food, but that is my fault...) The only complaint I have is the smoking. However, I have always asked them to place me somewhere where no one is smoking, and they have complied. However, I can see that it would be a serious problem when they are extremely busy. I do wish that they would have a designated smoke free zone.

Do not put in an egg wash this is what makes the CFS have too much batter. She learned this from the previous owner she is not the originator of this CF - Cat Barton - Then ask her why the locals do not support her. And ask her about the mean things she did to run Flossie's out of business like taking up her parking lot and how even though she has the most business cut the other businesses throat. Tell her about a little healthy competition. Ask her how she has stayed in business all these years by borrowing money from old people and not paying it back. Just ask her - but I am sure it will be a lie for an answer because that is what she does best.

How odd, another poster who joined the C-D forum just to dredge up this old thread and make a nasty post about the restaurant. That makes three posters who did that, and left never to be heard from again. It does seem a tad suspicious.
