The Tip Top Cafe, owned by the DeWese family, opened its doors in 1938 and began serving heaping plates of fried food to customers. Almost 70 years later, not much has changed: The restaurant is still owned and operated by family members, and diners drive for miles to get their fill of all things battered and fried. Mementos of the family and the diner’s history are mounted on the wall, including the memorable stuffed bass. Onion rings and fried chicken are house specialties, but for a true taste of Texas, try the chicken-fried steak – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and covered in rich gravy –which ranks among the state’s best. Voted Best Chicken-Fried Steak in 2007 Express-News readers poll. No alcohol available. Serving lunch and dinner Tue–Sun. Closed Mon.
