I can't speak for the whole U.S., but they were very popular in Southern Maryland - and still are in some areas. A lot of the churches held/hold strawberry festivals in late May and early June when the strawberry fields are at their peak. Strawberries are served in all sorts of varieties from "straight in your mouth," shortcakes, ice cream, strawberry cakes with strawberry icing (my mother made one to die for), jams and preserves, etc.
