Cool Chicken Fried Steak-The Offical List - 03-23-2011, 11:58 AM


Bring it on. The Good. The Bad. The Ugly.

Starting off....JW's Steakhouse in Carmine, TX.
We drove to Round Top yesterday for lunch. Wrong! Round Top is closed on Monday & Tuesday. A nice gentleman suggested JW's Steakhouse in Carmine, TX. It was on the way (US 290) back to Houston. Why not?
We had a C.F.S. two-fer. Lisa had the sandwich and I had the whole thing. Fabulous! My only nit-pick: fries instead of mashed potatos. I liked smashed potatos with my C.F.S. and gravy. The gravy was GREAT! The onion rings were spectacular. Lots of good beers on tap. Don't miss this place!

Dining

ps: My current nomination for The Bad and The Ugly: Chili's in Port Arthur, TX.

I really like the CFS from Texas Roadhouse.

I'll make note of JW's Steakhouse incase I find myself in Carmine, TX.

Not a fan of the C.F.S from Chili's either .

Used to be the best I ever had was a hole in the wall on the side of the road called Hugo's out near Shallowater.

Long since gone.

Haven't had one in years that comes close unless we include homemade...

I consider myself a conniseur of CFS.. had them from many different places. Chilis is terrible as it is Chicken Fried salt Steak.

Lone Star Cafe in Huntsville is pretty good but a bit too greasy

My favorite place thus far, for about 3 years now.. Goodsons Cafe in Tomball.. Best CFS ever!

I found it! Sure has changed since 1977... used to be filled with the old furniture from drug stores... but the CFS still looks good...

Colonial Restaurant, 3820 N Main in Fort Worth is just a little diner that isn't even open for dinner. Great CFS. Babe's in Roanoke has great CFS, if you can force yourself not to order the chicken.

If you're ever in SA and dare to go to the south side of town (grew up there so home for me). Give a little place called Bud Jones a try, and their ladies portion will do most men in. No little women on the south side of town I guess.

Another good CFS in SA is Broadway 5050. It's on, well, 5050 Broadway. They have a great little CFS.
