Enjoy!
There also used to be a great place in Fate Tx.
But the old ladys that made those pies retired and sold the cafe.

I’ve never tried this location but there is a place called Mamaw’s Fried Pies in Whitehouse, Tx that is supposed to have very good desserts also. It’s located on SH 110 a few miles SE of Tyler, Tx.
