The Cafe,yes that's the name in Graford,Texas is great. I've had Mary's for years and it depends on the cook that day. Try the Cafe and you will like their CFS or any of their food.

The Cafe is our spot during deer season. Great breakfast and service.

Not a fan on the CFS at Babe's, but the fried chicken and sides are great.

I am a fan of Mary's myself. Anytime I am in the Strawn area, I go there and get a CFS.

Another place in Texas that has a great CFS is the Hilltop Cafe in Fredricksburg.

Where is Bill Smith's Cafe in McKinney? I have lived here for 6 years and have never heard of it. I would like to try it out.

A co worker said Snuffers had a great Chicken Fried Steak, and he wasn't drinking!

+1 for Mary's! Been TOO long since I've stopped in there, though.

Fred's CFS (Ft. Worth)is outstanding as are those at the Stockyards Cafe in Amarillo and Green Chili Willy's in Canyon.

After reading all these I recently drove almost 50 miles out of my way to eat at Mary's in Strawn and was extremely disappointed. There is no place in Amarillo that doesn't have a better chicken fry than that.

Alright, someone else that knows what a good chicken fried stake is/isn't. Although when talking about chicken fried steak it is hard to take the word of someone with a name like GristleHead. JK

Used to be Taylor's Cafe in Lawn or the Mine Shack in Sweetwater. Sadly, both are long gone. Now, I'd have to say M.K. Davis in San Antonio.

Not anywhere near the metromess, but I like Loco Coyote's chicken fried steak...and catfish po'boy...and well, everything. You're going to have to drive a bit, however, it's in Glen Rose...and they have some odd hours (and usually close down in the winter).

Canyon has a restaurant now? Last time I was there, there was a Walmart, a Conoco, and a grocery store...

Mary's is more nostalgic but I've eaten at the Beehive in Albany several times recently and it's better (not as big). So if I'm going to drive 30 minutes for a chicken fry, it'll be to Albany.

Try the one at Nutty Brown Cafe on 290 between Austin and Dripping Springs! Now, it could have been the live music and beer talking but it was GOOD!
