Here's your Yelp review based on the transcription:---Hidden Gem in Eastland - Mae's Meat Market & CaféIf you ever find yourself in Eastland, TX, make sure to stop by Mae's Meat Market & Café. Tucked behind a gas station, this family-owned spot might not look like much from the outside, but inside, you'll find warm hospitality and some of the best home-cooked meals around.I tried their famous Piggy Tails--tender strips of pork, floured and fried to perfection. They were crispy, flavorful, and everything you want in a comfort food dish. The salad bar was fresh and well-stocked, adding a nice balance to the meal.The staff was incredibly welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I walked in. Another big plus? Plenty of open parking, which was especially convenient since I was pulling my 5th wheel.If you're passing through Eastland or just looking for a great local spot, Mae's is absolutely worth a visit. Good food, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere--what more could you ask for?

What an amazing find!!! Read the reviews and decided to give it a try. Cone hungry!!! But pack your patience. We were there for over an hour and a half.I had the steak fingers. There were 4 of the largest fingers I ever saw. Very tender and no gristle. Delicious! Brought 2 home couldn't eat them all. Hubby had a Swiss mushroom burger . It is a half pound of yummy goodness. He said it's the best burger he's had in his 72 years! Definitely will be back!

We stopped here for lunch on our drive to New Mexico from DFW and man was it wonderful! Only 5 minutes off highway. Picnic tables in the middle of a meat market with a really cute atmosphere, they take their meat fresh from the market to make your meal and also, sell fresh milk and bread as well. The staff was very attentive and kind! Very texas feel. I had the Maverick burger and it was quite honestly the best burger I've ever ate in my life! I did add green chilies on this burger...and my husband also loved the funky chicken sandwich, it was so tasty! We will be coming here on every drive. Highly recommend!

Flew into town to get fuel for the plane. Brody at the FBO recommended Mae's Meat Market for lunch. Borrowed the crew care and found this hidden gem off the main drag on a potholed stone road. Walked into the store and it was jumping with people. Ordered 2 turkey wraps with chips. I liked the Mae's Meat Market company tee shirts.. it says Mae's Meat Market on the top of the back with PETA written under that with People Eating Tasty Animals!

Drop in for an a-mae-zing "down home" experience. Our party of four ordered catfish, cole slaw, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, a bacon cheeseburger, and a grilled cheese). All food was excellent. The place was very busy but we were seated right away, checked on frequently, and served quickly. Service was outstanding. Interior had a fun "hole in the wall" vibe.

We discovered Mae's on yelp, and it was definitely a slice of local food. We arrive shortly before closing time and were still warmly welcomed. The food arrived quickly, and was delicious. Highly recommend.

first time trying out Mae's. Had the chicken fried steak as the quintessential barometer to judge against all my other places. Fresh cut pounded tender meat - no pre-cut frozen patties here. Good crust and flavor. Would put it in my top ten for CFS.

We enjoy the 'Piggy Tails'! Of course that's not what it really is. It's a strip of pork that has been tenderized and floured and fried! You get that with Cream Gravy! You can also get it with mashed, french, or hand cut fries! It's wonderful!!
