Chicken Fried Steak
|
|
The best chicken fried steak I've had in the state had to be from the Paraiso Restaurant in Zapata. The full size portion hangs over the platter and they aren't stingy with the side dishes or tea. Paraiso is on the north end of Zapata on the west side of US 83.
2nd best was at Durty Gurty's west of the 610 loop in Houston. I think Durty's was off of Westheimer, but can't really remember. They were a real close 2nd to the Paraiso. JMO

Bud Jones Restaurant in San Antonio is my favorite now. Used to be The Little Red Barn but, their cut of meat they are using now is too tough and it is much smaller than it used to be. Bud Jones chicken fried steak is big enough to tame my appetite.

Mary's in Strawn and Babe's Chicken House in Burleson....there are several Babe's in the FW/D area, with the original in Roanoke, but the Burleson site is the only one I've been to.

We went to the Little Red Barn a lot during the spring and summer of '86 when we had a long long trial in federal court in SA. I don't remember the chicken fried steak there, but back in the day that was a pretty good place.

Back then, Ralph Hernandez, the owner, was still running the everyday operation. Now, his daughters have taken it over and they are still pretty good but nowhere near what they used to be. For a "quick" steak dinner that is moderately priced and "okay" by my standards, it is still an alright place to eat.

I second "mary's" with the corona's in the coozies and the hot waitresses. 
"Mrs Alan's" in Sweetwater has CFS sometime and everything they have is great. I meet new people everytime I'm there because you sit at huge tables all together. All you can eat $8.00 including the drink.

We could go on for years on this subject. If you guys are ever in Moss Hill, Texas go to Reds. You won't be able to eat it all.

Re: Chicken Fried Steak

Mary's has been a long time favorite after an opening day dove hunt, go over there to beat the heat and enjoy a cold beer. Chicken fried steak and fried eggs is hard to beat.
Next is Blue Bonnent Cafe in Marble Falls.

Thanks to this strand, the wife, daughter and I had to stop in Mary's as we passed through a couple weeks ago. Our travel schedules will now revolve around having the CFS at Mary's...sometimes maybe even on the way TO San Angelo AND back home. Best ever!

Maggie,
Where is the Corral located? I go through Coleman to get to my place at OH Ivie. I'd like to stop in sometime and check out one of those Chicken Fried Steaks.
Thanks...and good hunting this year.

You have not had chicken fried steak until you have been to Goodson's Cafe in Tomball, TX. Out of this world. Featured on the the Food Network and many magazines.

Re: Chicken Fried Steak

If you happen to be stuck in Big D without time
to drive to Marys for a quick lunch, you could do
A LOT worse than Ozona Grill on Greenville Ave.
As a matter of fact, you'd have to look pretty
hard to do as good.
It's a good choice for weekend breakfast too.
