June 28, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, Trey3216 said: The proper answer is cream gravy on your CFS and brown gravy on your mashed potatoes (which should always be one of the sides you get with CFS). You get a bit of mashed potatoes on your fork, then cut a piece of steak and eat the steak and mashed potatoes in the same bite. 55 minutes ago, HouTex said: I agree that mashed potatoes are better with brown gravy.
June 28, 20223 yr Salty Dog in Waco has a pretty damn solid CFS. Today’s special was CFS with jalapeño cream gravy. Did satisfy And some pics of my proper bite method…

Would’ve been better with diced fresh jalapeños that had time to lightly fry in bacon grease rather than pickled, but the acidity in the pickled added its own nice balance.

I think Georges has the best CFS in town but Salty Dog seems to be a worthy challenger.

Maybe next time I can convince her to get the CFS first before we go next door.
June 29, 20223 yr Popular Post If you’ve never tried it, it’s worth the time and effort. CFS at the Gristmill in Gruene, TX…
June 29, 20223 yr I had a chicken fried pork steak in Corrigan yesterday. Served from a steam table at a re-purposed DQ ma & pa joint. I was leery yet hopeful. Looked just like Plano CFS with a perfect golden brown crust. It was finominile.

We have a great place that we don’t plan on leaving for a while, though. At my age, the small-town vibe is just fine for me. Our overhead is low, we travel when we want, it’s a good life. It’ll do until our retirement plans are ready to launch. I will gladly drive to Corrigan for a worthy CFS, as well, so I am grateful for that tip What area are you?

June 30, 20223 yr I don't think anybody has mentioned R&K Cafe II in Hillsboro. Solid CFS in the old passenger rail terminal north of the courthouse square. Good food and interesting building.
June 30, 20223 yr I have a feeling I will get some blowback in this, but Jax Grill in Houston cooks a solid chicken fried steak.

June 30, 20223 yr haven't been there in foreverI think it’s been about a year, maybe a bit more for me. I took my old west daughter there. She likes it because chicken tenders and the toy vending machines. Maybe I need to go back soon.

June 30, 20223 yr While I love George's and Sammy, never thought their chicken fried steak was great, preferred the gizzards. Griff's is great, huge slab of meat, always fresh, perfectly battered. I usually did greens as a side to balance the onion rings

June 30, 20223 yr Man.....hardly a day goes by that I don't miss the saddleblanket CFS at the Brush Country Inn in Riviera. Covered an entire oval platter. Fries underneath. Side salad, with a dressing tree brought to the table. Two slices of Texas toast. Eat half for lunch, then save the other half for cold CFS sammich on Texas toast while fishing the next day.

July 1, 20223 yr Stopped at the Republic Grille in The Woodlands today. I finally remembered to snap a pic a few bites in. Why is there so little gravy?
July 1, 20223 yr I only put gravy on half of the steak as I took the rest home for tomorrow. Ok. You should have mentioned your diet in your original post.
July 1, 20223 yr Went to Texas Roadhouse last night as wife was wanted CFS, good Lord, 40% must’ve been crust. Still good though or hers was anyway. We have other places, mom and pop places, who serve cfs but they top it with sausage gravy.

July 9, 20223 yr No, they bring the gravy in a separate bowl. I only put gravy on the half I intend to eat. I always ask for some gravy to go as well.
July 9, 20223 yr I’ll be impressed if anyone else remembers this one ….. Hungry Jack’s in Victoria The chicken fried was very good but the gravy was next level. Yellow / golden colored and full of flavor. Back in the old Victoria days, hungry jacks was the only place in town to get appetizers. Their bar was always hopping too
July 10, 20223 yr Kinda like Shortstop, there should be a drive-thru gravy place in the parking lot of large stores. Brown, giblet, cream, sausage, yeller, oyster, etc.
July 10, 20223 yr Had a CFS from The Dam Grill in Buchanan Dam, Texas yesterday. Not bad at all. Melt in your mouth tender.
