Matt's El Rancho in both Austin and Dallas make a darn good chicken fry as well! Btw - I heard a bad rumor that Matt's in Dallas will be a Mi Cocina... They have line out the door on the weekends. Not sure why they want to sell out... I haven't heard that rumor. If it is true, that will suck! We are there at least once a week and usually twice a week. Their food is so much better than Mi Cocina.

Chilis has a frozen CFS. Not homemadegravy. For a chain its ok, but there are way better places that have been around a long time.

The new Bosque Resort Restaurant in Laguna Park has very good chicken fried steak. It's a new restaurant located just west of the Lake Whitney Dam on TX-22. It looks like it might be a 'fancy' restaurant from the outside, but inside is a different story. $9.99 for the CFS dinner and it was very tasty with the 'aftertaste' some places have...

My mom makes the best fried chicken and CFS! Unfortunately, it has to be a Holiday or some special day for her to cook it anymore...

I grew up with and still friends with the family. They are not changing it to mi cocina..... I am sure all the rumors started when matt passed away. There CFS is great with the green sauce.... Matt's El Rancho in both Austin and Dallas make a darn good chicken fry as well! Btw - I heard a bad rumor that Matt's in Dallas will be a Mi Cocina... They have line out the door on the weekends. Not sure why they want to sell out... I haven't heard that rumor. If it is true, that will suck! We are there at least once a week and usually twice a week. Their food is so much better than Mi Cocina.

The horse barn in Ector Texas during the sale was the best I ever had.
Today, the diner in downtown Olney named ______________ is the best I have had in years.....
My mothers is very very good too.

If your ever between Ft Worth and Waco, the little cafe here in Covington has a dang good CFS. Price is very reasonable and the sides are delicious as well. It is well worth the stop!

Their food is so much better than Mi Cocina. Matt's makes what they call a cowboy style cfs. Hand breaded. covered with chili and cheese and jalapenos. served with refried and rice. Doesnt sound that great, but if you get it, you might not get anything else on their menu again. Mouth is watering now. The original in Austin is the best.

I was quail hunting just 2 miles north of Beeville Super bowl weekend. I had offered to take my host to dinner Saturday night. The rancher stopped by. I asked about a good place to get a chicken fried steak. He said Chili's. They called it country fried steak. It was delicious. There's a Chili's on the Grand Parkway near where I live. My wife and I went there Tuesday night. Same results. I told them that they needed to hilight it in Texas and call it Chicken Fried steak. Try it. You'll like it. Been eating at Chillis all my life, ever since the first one in Dallas in the 70s. Great place, take the family there all the time. I like their chicken fried chicken better, hadn’t had it in a long time tho.
