I don't know about anything else, but the best chicken fry, hands down, has got to be Mary's in Strawn.

I don't know if this is still true, but years ago I thought the Koffe Kup Kafe in Hico had a great chicken fry.

I am with jrfan on Marys having the best chicken fry. I lived in Stephenville for 7 years and I made the trip almost weekly. Havent been there in a couple of years but next time I go to Mason I'm stopping to get one.

speaking of mason--they have a good bar b q place there that I stop at on my way to san antonio. it is a little gas station looking place where you pick your meat.

I think I know what bbq place that you are talking about. We eat there every trip. Lone Star BBQ in Brady is good too.

Definately Mary's hands down. Live in Stephenville and don't go enough.

that is easy.........MY HOUSE!!! I was lucky to marry a women that can and likes to cook!!!!

i saw the topic and immediatly thought of Mary's. Last time I was there I had an Aoudad in the back of the truck in the ice chest w/ the lid up. He was upside down and when we came out someone had stuck a longneck bottle in his mouth. I have a pic of it somewhere.

marys got my vote. but flossy is about just as good. i might stop in on marys this weekend

Mary's is tought to beat, the only thing close is a restaurant in Ballinger and I cannot think of the name of it.

Marys has my vote, also has a great breakfast. I'm not sure if it's still open but a place in downtown McKinny called Dorthy's across from the court house darn plate looked like it had wings on it. And the best lemon pies in the world.

Mary's is about the best there is,we used to eat there at least once every two weeks when I went to Tarleton State, in Stephenville. They also used to have an all you can eat special a few nights a week, we would go for the chicken fajita's they were real good as well, not to mention they have ice cold beer pretty cheap!!! Two other chiken fry's come to mind as well the Dixie Pig in Abilene, excelent CFS, also in some mall in San Antonio, the place was called Jail House Cafe i think, anyways they had a chicken fry that was served with queso instead of gravy, it was different but very very good.

The Stag Horn in down in Three Rivers. I will be eating there tomorrow. Plus they have some of the best and biggest pancakes.

How about Shady Grove in Austin? Yummmmm. You can order the chicken fried steak with green chile gravy, oh so good.

Can't think of the name right now but restaurant in Blanket, best chicken fry in the world! Not sure if they are still there since I haven't been there in 5 years.

For N Texas Babes in Sanger gets a vote too.....

BETTY'S STRAWN TEXAS ABSOLUTLY POSITIVLY HAVE TO HAVE THE BEST CHICKEN FRIED STEAK IN THE WORLD!!!!BETTY'S STRAWN TX.

Don't know if it is still open but the Farmer's Daughter on South side of San Antonio had a great one at one time.Also at the Little Red Barn.

Cotton Gin in Kaufman

Herman bros in Hondo (Mexican style)

Bishop Street Grille, Oak Cliff

Black Eyed Pea or Good Eats in Dallas

HK Saloon in Glen Rose I believe is the name of it, stopped there last week and it was awesome CFS !

Lowake Steak House-Lowake, Texas

Sportsman's Club-Lake Colorado City

Mary's-Strawn

The Tulia Live Stock Auction has the best Chicken Fry in the world. If you're ever headed north on I27 bout noon on I believe it's still Thursday, got to stop at the sale barn! Dems good vittles!

All of y'all must be smokin crack. Mary's?????? I live 10 minutes away from Marys. I have lived here for 14 years ate there 5 times and swore I would never be back every time I left. But each time I decided to give them another chance. The service is slow. Takes three weeks to get your meal and the place is extremely noisy. Leave that place to the out of towners. The locals know better.
Go across the street to Flossies. The steak is bigger than the plate and is served with a BIG bowl of gravy. When you get done grab a good soft serve ice cream cone on the house.
Or take a drive over to Mingus. Go to BJ's and get an awesome pizza. Or The Smokestack for an exclent steak. Or across I-20 from the Smoke Stack to New York Hill for a chicken fry or some very good pork chops.
Marys???

I vote flossies too awesome breakfast, and huge chicken fried steak, and you can get the large order and you get 2 of them big ole monsters. I still haven't eat at mary's But i've heard i need to try it.

I hunt in Santo and have heard many good things about Mary's. How do I get there? Guess I need to try Flossie's too.

redfish, going down hwy 20 west. take hwy 16 north to strawn. its about 4 miles from hwy 20. marys is on the right and flossies on the left.
