Some would argue that chicken fried steak is chicken fried steak no matter where you get it. Those people are obviously not from Texas. Us Texans know that there is a very fine art to making this dish: getting the breading just right so that it’s not too crisp, making sure the coating to meat ratio is even so as not to allow one element to overpower the other, and concocting a perfectly rich, creamy gravy that offsets the crunchiness of the crust. When all of these elements come together, it’s a song from heaven above. So without further ado, here are 10 restaurants that serve the best chicken fried steak in Texas

My grandmother from Alabama would make chicken fried steak that would blow all these restaurants off the map. She served it with fried okra, creamed corn, cast iron skillet corn bread, and black eyed beans. Washed down with large glasses of sun-brewed sweet iced tea.

If we still had room in our stomachs, we'd get some peach cobbler for dessert.

Yeah. It’s schnitzel.

I had no idea that schnitzel was chicken fried steak, until recently.

Schnitzel is a hot dog, right? Der Wienerschnitzel and all.

DQ Dude at Dairy Queen.

Those were great for hangovers in my younger days.

I don’t think DQ has those anymore.

I guess the people who at Lulu’s must have disliked the other food for Lulu’s to go out of business.

Dirty’s Ice House in Houston had giant, delicious chicken-fried steaks and white gravy. Mashed potatoes with skins. I think they closed in the 90s.

Two people could split one of their CFSs and still feel like you were about to bust open when you left the restaurant.

Wiener means (Vienna style) and is only slightly related to hot dogs.

All of them around here have them. I also like their Jalitos Ranch Hunger Buster. Fried jalapeños.

The Clay Pot up in Krum was always famous for theirs when I lived around there.

A guilty pleasure of mine were those Stouffer’s TV dinner chicken fried steaks.

LOL... I think the Weinerschitzel literally picked something German sounding! And I think Schnitzel is ether veal or pork. All those immigrants to Texas had was rangy touch longhorn cattle.
