Best Chicken Fried Steak in the state? (I know these posts are getting repetitive)

[big daddy russ]

Personally, I love the Brush Country Inn down in Riviera, TX. They have this one CFS called the Brush Country Saddle Blanket that stretches out at close to a foot and a half long. $11. Damn, that's a great place to eat.

Also, the Floyd's Ranch House in Ingleside has good ones. (Don't be fooled by the knock off over in Flour Bluff... it's nowhere near as good) The one in Ingleside was awarded best Chicken Fried Steak in Texas by the Houston Chronicle back in 1986, but the Brush Country Inn has it beat.

Lulus jailhouse downtown san antonio. biggest cfs ive seen. they even serve it with cheese and jalapenos on top if you want. if you eat it all you get their 3 pound cinnimon roll free!!

Those cinnamon rolls at Lulu's are out of this world. We used to stop by just to get some to go.
For CFS, I like the LoneStar Cafe on the Riverwalk.

Best CFS in the world is at Mary's in Strawn. Hands down!!! All you can eat one night of the week!!!! Great with those frosty fish bowls of beer!!!

[onfirebball05mustang]

Best I know of is at the 4H Steakhouse in Elgin. It's the same size as the jailhouse, but in one piece and with sides and salad to boot.

[CHS_CG]

The Country Inn in Somerville has very very good food and their chicken fried steak is HUGE....

[LH Panther Mom]

Hobo Depot in Liberty Hill has some of the best CFS in Texas.

[Phantom Stang]

Threadgill's in Austin rates mention.

[SintonFan]

Earl Abels in San Antonio makes a good one. It's not huge like the Jailhouse one though.
.
In South Texas, the Red Barn had great chicken fried steaks. Too bad the place burned down.:(

[crabman]

The Country Store Restaurant in Cotulla. Right on Highway 35. Also has the distinction of having the best Cheese Broccoli soup.

i tried to use a coupon from lulus bakery and cafe at Lulu's Jailhouse, and i was told they are 2 different restraunts, owners, etc. and they wouldnt accept it. never been to the "bakery and cafe" though. my guess is that its the same food.

[chugbug]

The Country Inn in Sommerville.:eek: :eek: :flamingma :eek: :eek: :eek:

[chugbug]

Cheermom knows a good cinnamon roll when she sees one.:eek: :eek: :hairpunk: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[SintonFan]

We went to Lulu's bakery last Sunday and that was a great CFS. Huge and cooked to perfection. I printed the coupon and it saved me $8.50 too. :clap:

[ej2525]

Humble City Cafe in Humble is pretty darn good!!

by chance did you find out if they are affiliated with the lulus jailhouse that i went to in downtown?

[footballmom]

Massey's here in Fort Worth is really good. They give you two nice sized pieces and lots of homemade gravy. I think Massey's has been around longer then me and that's along time. lol

[Leopards,class of 75]

In Sanger Tx., there is a resturant called Babes that has some of the largest, most tender C.F steaks that I have ever tried! $8.99. Sanger is located between Denton and Gainesville on I-35.

Next time you go, stick your head in the kitchen and say hi to Buddy for me. "course he won't know me by my screen name.

All of the cfs' around the northwest houston area are huge and good. Goodson's cafe in Tomball and Hickory Hollow in Magnolia both serve theirs on a pizza platter out of necessity. The gravy is better at Goodson's. Doesn't matter to me, I order mine dry and eat it with ketchup anyway.

[PPHSfan]

If you can cut it with a plastic fork it's good. Texas has too many good CFS's to make one the best.

[3afan]

the best i've had is from ..... my own kitchen :inlove:

[YBS]

Lulu's is powerful...also, the JHS cafeteria...I'm not joking. Ask people that know...it's legendary in Jasper County.

I didn't ask. I was too busy chasing after the kids.

[Buffalo]

There is a place by the lake in Colorado Cuty that serves a very good chicken fried steak. It is huge big oval plate it hangs off the side

[Phantom Stang]

The Dixie House in Haltom City is worthwhile.

[pirate44]

i went to Luby's yesterday and ordered CFS and it wasnt much more than edible.:(

Last time at the LoneStar, we got really bad food, 1st time ever, and it was one of our favorite places.

[pirate44]

i dont know if ive said this before but Lulu's Jailhouse has an electric chair the kids can pose in for a photo. :eek: seems over the top, dont it?

[jasper_dawgs]

The best Chicken Fried steak is in Jasper, Texas at ELIJAS CAFE on Hwy 190 West. Wed night $4.99 Can't beat it.
