Jake & Dorothy's Cafe

This was my first time and I loved it! The waiter was super sweet. She said everything was good and she wasn’t lying! The French fries are delicious and I LOVED the patty melt. The chicken fried steak was the best I’ve ever had it was so tender! And the peanut butter pie was good also. I will definitely be going again.

Great little cafe right off the beaten path. Had an excellent cheeseburger, that had to be pressed down just to eat it, and waffle fries. Service was really good, my cup stayed filled and the waitress checked on me several times. The restaurant was clean and it was good to see the staff helping each other out. Will definitely be returning.

Doesn't get better than this. Been going here since 1990 and never pass up an opportunity when I go back home. Absolutely the BEST CFS around. Period. Double period. I love everything about this place, the bar, the booths, the cake display, just... everything. Always smiles beaming from everyone, both patrons and employees. There isn't a bad thing on the menu, but ya gotta have the waffle fries and CFS for lunch at least once in your life or you simply haven't bothered living a life worth living. Trust me...

Great food (we had the lunch special chicken fried steak & fried pork chops). Loved the old hometown feel. The waitresses were friendly & attentive. We're looking forward to going again.

We enjoy eating at Jake & Dorothy's every time we visit Stephenville. Southern cooking at it's best and also vegetarian options. Love this place.

I have very fond memories of eating here with my dad in Stephenville. Founded in 1948 Jake and Dorothy's is one of those old time diners that serves up the best in classic Texas comfort foods. When you walk you feel like you have been transported to another era. It looks axactly the same as it did when I was a kid. If you find yourself here, do yourself a favor and order the chicken fried steak! It is simply the best. Go check them out

We get burgers there on Tuesday nights, and Erin is always very polite, helpful, and kind. Everyone is nice and offer drinks while we're waiting. I have had a great experience every time, and I look forward to my visits there.

For Breakfast…I had nothing that rates LESS than “Good”…most was “Perfect”. I had Eggs Over Medium, Hash Browns, seared whole jalapeños, Bacon with Biscuits & Gravy. If you think those breakfast staples are Easy, “any breakfast restaurant can do those well”…you are untraveled and wrong.

One of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time! Onion rings were so good too. I love the fact that you feel like you took a step back in time a bit in there. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming.

Great place to have breakfast. One of the oldest dinners in Texas! We had 6 adults and got stuffed for $70. The biscuit and gravy are to die for. Service was awesome. Very friendly and funny to boot. The biscuits are scratch made, and boy, can you tell it. We were visiting family in Stephenville. We will be back soon.

Jake and Dorothy's is the epitome of a small town cafe. The atmosphere is that of your family cafe that you've been going to for breakfast since you were a child with your grandparents. The food always tastes freshly made and well prepared. The pies are enormous and always have meringue to the heavens. Everything tastes exactly like you expect with no surprises and always clean and fast.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! The food is awesome and so are the people! I eat here every time I come to town! It has a wonderful atmosphere!

Great food and company. Wait staff know what they're doing! Everything from the biscuits to pie were enjoyed.

Enjoyed the chicken fried steak, the salad was a meal in itself, I loved the apple pie 🥧

I love the old mom and pop cafe's. This one is no exception. Currently open just shy of 75 years. The counter and seats were a little worn, but not in a bad way, in a nostalgic reminder kind of way. I ordered a simple breakfast and was happy with it in every way. But even more impressive was the staff. We were served by our waitress as well as a couple others as they passed by. You just don't get this quality of food and service from a box franchise.

Jake and Dorothy's us an old style cafe that was originally opened in the 1950's or earlier. It is a basis cafe with the old time atmosphere. The breakfast I had was very good and service was pleasant and quick. It is a popular place with locals so expect to see a busy place but they were very good with the appropriate social distancing. It's a great place for an old style cafe.

Jake and Dorothy's has been a family favorite for many, many decades. The chicken fried steak and waffle fries are comfort food at its best.
The peanut butter silk pie is out of this world!
Time marches on and many things change, so that makes the old reliable standards even more precious. We go out of our way to make it to Stephenville just to eat here.

Jake and Dorothy's is fixing to celebrate their 71st anniversary. A testament to great food and pies.
I've never had a bad meal here. Don't expect fancy, just delicious eats!

old cafe, like a time capsule from the 60's, but clean, very clean. can't go wrong with the apple pie, chocolate pie is good too.
