Used to be a place in duncanville called Hondos that had the best chicken fried steak ever. Now days its 1oz of meat and 20oz of crust. Also miss there frise cut fries that went anlong with it.

I took my parents out for Fathers day on sunday to Chil Willies in Arroyo City. (Lower RGV) They make a nice Chicken Fried Steak using top sirloin. I shared one with my mother and we were both full.

Matts...in Dallas or Garland..and its a mescan joint..the best..

Seminole Texas, I think the place is called Dixie's (any help here?). Mennonite place. They raise their own beef and most of the other stuff they serve is home grown.

I have been all over the US, all over Texas. Words fail to do justice to this CFS. I ate till I thought I would rupture my stomach, then I ate some more. Then I ordered takeout and had it for breakfast and lunch the next day. The mashed potatoes and the gravy are the best homemade tasting I have ever had. People make 40-50 mile round trips to eat there. If you miss mom's cooking, it's the place to go.

Pete's Cafe in Addison, Blue Bonnet Cafe in Marble Falls, and Cagle Steak House in Lubbock.

McAllen...La Peeps on north 10th. They serve a hearty portion with fried eggs and peasant potatoes.

Surprise!! Surprise! Chilie's is around 14 miles from me. I found a much better chicken fried streak, about 5 miles from home. It was at a new place called All Stars. It's a family grill. It's really good. I think I'll start a new thread on this type of restaurant.

Marys is the best for me.

My vote is for the Bluebonnet Cafe in Marble Falls! 10 years ago, but it stands out after many others...

Also check out the Shed in Edom.

Tony's in Sealy! Nothing like CFS & eggs after a dove or duck hunt.

I agree, some people go there for the pies, which are delicious, but give me their cfs any time of the day, any day.

CFS steak debate in TX is a moot point because there are so many good places, you can't go wrong with Mary's though. Also in Coleman there is Coldwater Creek Cattle Company that is excellent (I'm assuming they are still there). Never been much on a chain resteraunts CFS but there are exceptions. The place in Seminole is really good and also the Stockyards Cafe in Amarillo is great.

Cafe Texan in Huntsville is pretty good too.

Dairyland in Jacksboro for the cfs sandwich


Twin peaks in Plano for the straight up cfs
this thing is huge unless you order the girly size LOL

You are very brave sir.

Just tryin to keep the conversation lively ! ! !

Marys in Strawn for sure. I have never been there when there was less than atleast a 30 minute wait! Soooooo good!

LaSalle County Steakhouse in Cotulla has a dang good chicken fried steak with really good portions of sides!!

Dot Coffee Shop in Houston. Great CF steak! On lunch menu you get 3 vegatables and one meat + corn bread and huge yeast roll for $8.95. Wife and I usually order one lunch and get an extra plate and split it. Plenty of food for two. The Dot is on the southbound frontage road of I-45 first exit inside of I-610 loop on south side, next to Pappa's BBQ. Also homemade pies and cakes. DOT has been there a long time. Open 24/7.

New York Hill,way better than Marys

+1

I've traveled all over the country, mostly staying in small towns. Hands down the best csf I have ever had was at Goodson's Cafe in Tomball,TX. If they're packed then head down the road to Mel's. They both have been around since the early 1900's. Heck Mel's has an original wanted poster for Jesse James that was posted on their front porch!

Lived all over TX and the world for that matter...best CFS is at Western Sky in San Angelo.

Tip Top in San Antonio is the one I like!

Headed to Sealy this week. Will have to try Tony's.
