Bailey's Cafe

This seemed to be a mom and pop shop. My hubby had chicken fried steak with onion rings. I had crispy chicken sandwich and my kiddo had chicken tenders. We shared jalapeno poppers as well. Everything was delicious, everything was full of flavor. The tenders were juicy. Staff was upbeat and the young man that served us was very pleasant. We dined in, the restaurant inside was small, but we didn't mind. I marked this in my Google maps so if we pass by we can stop here.

Great little local eatery! Food is delicious and tastes homemade. They have an all you can eat catfish special for a great price and the catfish is so good. The batter they use is savory and has some herbs in it.. it’s fried nice and crispy 🤤 Great friendly staff. A must if you’re looking for a local place to eat in Ennis!

Arrived for late lunch on Sunday afternoon. Restaurant was not busy…got a recommendation from online reviews. Servers were a bit distracted with each other — chatting and laughing. Hard to get their attention. They were however polite and accurate in taking our orders. The onion rings were excellent. The chicken fried steak? Not so much. There was gristle in both of our steaks. They did not tenderize the cutlets properly. The grilled squash was pitiful…looked to be reheated several times as it was limp. Served in a bowl with a strange green oily liquid. Not suitable for your customers. The coconut pie was a huge disappointment and should not have been served. The crust appeared over-cooked and dark brown. It also seemed to have turned rancid. The pie filling was overly sweet like corn syrup. The meringue may have been made of marshmallow rather than egg whites. Neither of us could finish even half of our pie slices. The attention to detail in food preparation is definitely missing. The cooks who could been seen through the kitchen window were either chewing gum or eating. Definitely not sanitary in a food handing business. Not worth a second visit. Guests should never be tasked with quality control for your restaurant.

Great little cafe! I got the chicken fried chicken with corn and mashed potatoes and gravy. It was delicious! The sweet tea wasn’t the sweetest I’ve had, and the cup of soup that comes with every meal was bland and it had a hominy I believe that was a little hard but I ate it all the same. My mother got the special of the day which was a bacon wrapped hamburger steak and it was great! I highly recommend Baileys!
