T Bone's is one of my favorites! It is about 40 min from the house, but I'll drive for those armadillo eggs!!

There is a road that ain't much of a road between Tractor Supply and Dollar General. If you're not looking for it you won't ever see it. Mae's is on that road behind the Dollar General.

When you find it, you'll realize why you've never seen it.

That is funny!! Sad but true My cousins own it. Think I will send them your comment

Don't know the place, but based on these comments, you might suggest they invest in some signage!

Have to give them a try next time I'm out that way.

The Elm Fork Tap House in Lake Dallas off of Turbeville rd is not it. We tried it today the CFS was okay, mashed potatoes tasted almost like instant potato's, the cream gravy was sweet, Cowboy beans were just okay not what I anticipated. You have to ask for Salt & Pepper, my buddy had to ask for Ketchup for his fries and they brought him one of those little paper containers like you refill in an fried catfish place.

Looks pretty good in the pic, not so and it is pricey Chicken fried steak with 2 sides $14.00. Will not eat there again

I've heard the same thing about Elm Fork. Haven't tried it for that reason. You just gave me another reason not to.

Boo Rays !

If they can't be bothered to make gravy then they don't even deserve consideration. Seems everyone brags about this or that chicken fried steak then when you get it, it has some gelatinous white flavorless canned goop on it. Totally ruins what otherwise might be an honest attempt.

Kelly's Country Kitchen is pretty good in the Houston/Pearland area. Hickory Hollow. Goodsons in Tomball.

Haven't been to Mary's at Strawn in years. Are they still in business?

Two pretty good ones.....

The R&K Cafe in Weatherford....either for lunch or with eggs in the morning. Good gravy.

And had one with two over easy at brunch at Cat City Cafe on Magnolia, in Ft. Worth.

Which made me think about, and miss, Massey’s!

Oh yeah.

My mom is making chicken fried steak Sunday....I am super pumped.

You need to get out more Bill. We were there 2 weeks ago. Been going for over 30 years.

Knife and Cork in Gatesville has a chicken fried ribeye that's the bomb. Their menu changes daily, so if you're going there for the CFR, you'll need to call ahead and see what day they'll have it.

I'm not going to compare it to Mary's, or Massey's, or even my MIL's CFS, but try it out at the Firehouse Cafe down in Granbury. It's cooked after you order it, the coating is always crispy and the gravy thick. All the sides are good if you have room after the steak. I generally skip the veggies if it is peach cobbler or banana pudding day, even had both once. Make the trip, give it a try, let us know what you think.

PS: Bill, they will put the gravy in a bowl for you

You read me like a clock.

Ate at Mae's in Eastland many times and they have good food, but I would not say it's one of the best CFS.

Ate Mary’s again this week to see if it changed my opinion. It did not and believe it is the most overrated cfs out

I agree.

Horseshoe Hill Cafe in fort worth has a dang good one.

Looks legit but needs more gravy.

Look great

That’s a good looking chicken fried steak…

Probably needs more mashed potatoes.
