A little North for you Texans but Lauren Boebert’s Restaurant in Rifle Colorado has the best Chicken Fried Steak I’ve had. The servers at shooters Grill are packing heat but the food is the highlight. We make a point of stopping there on annual elk hunting trip.

The best CFS was in the early 1980's at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant on the north end of Main Street in Grapevine, TX. On Friday's we would hit it for lunch and we got out the door for less than $5/person and that was with a couple of pitchers of Coors for all of us. What was the name? I am from Grapevine. I can't remember, too many moons ago. It was on the west side of Main, right where city hall is sitting now.

There is a place just north of Walton, KY that has one of the largest menus I have ever seen for a small diner. On it, I found country-fried steak, country-fried chicken, chicken-fried steak, and steak-fried chicken. It was close to work, so I managed to get there and eat all 4 delicacies. My favorite was the fried goetta.
I found it: Brooks Meats. It's south of Kelly Q's Dairy Whippers. I highly recommend this place.

If you are on 20, and going to Ft. Worth, might as well just hold on and go to Massey's in Ft. Worth. Worth the ride up on the North Side for their chicken fried.

The best CFS I ever had was at Bubba's in Jackson Hole Wyoming.
My mouth waters just thinking about it...👌

I’ve had chicken fried steaks all over but the best by far was from the Tip Top Cafe in the tiny town of Lockesburg, Arkansas. Sadly, it no longer exists.
Honorable mention goes to Talley’s on 11th street in Tulsa.

I have been suckered in to order the CFS in I don't know how many places and been severely disappointed in all of them. There's a place near here in Heber, Utah called Chick's Cafe. "Renowned" for their CFS, said the guy who took me there. I left half of it on the plate.
Someday, somewhere, I may stumble upon the Holy Grail of Chicken Fried Steak joints - and never know it because I ordered something else.

Im not saying the CFS at the place i reported on is astounding. To me, it's just fairly close to what a CFS is supposed to be. Throw in a huge, all you can eat salad AND soup bar and you can end up with two good meals out of the deal.

Now I know what’s on tonight.. Bluebonnet in Marble has become a tourist dive. I had a CFS at the River City Grill this past monday when I went into town to pick up a load of T posts. Wasn’t bad at all. And not near as crowded at Bluebonnet.

Yeah probably a crapshoot. Try burgers at Doublehorn brewery over next to where Burnham bros. used to be. They aren’t bad.

Best chicken fried steak, EVER: Dallas Petroleum Club...

Damn good burgers. Worth the short drive. Oh. And Pecan St. Brewery on square in JC has pretty good CFS

Just made that trip on 281 yesterday. I intended to stop at In and Out to see if it was better than Whataburger, but missed the exit and just kept going.
It’s not hard to be better than the Whataburger in Marble.

To be honest, most I have had at restaurants cannot compare to what I make at home.
