Please list some places who offer a nice Country Fried Steak dinner w/ gravy.


I remember that Folks had a fair one. Maybe Betty's Fried Chicken. Oh also that old restaurant at the Carthage Airport - my Grandmother worked there as a hostess. [RIP Grammy Lee. We'll do 'Tickle Hill' again in your Caprice Classic in Heaven together]

but anyway - also, would you plow the one plated below?

Lulu's in San Antonio. Wash it down with a 3 lb cinnamon roll.

Not Denny's that's for ****ing sure.

Maybe someday I will rock the cat again. La Guardia is the man though.

Heard Twin Peaks has a good country fried steak. But not the type to visit such an establishment to find out.

I would destroy the one in the OP

Buzz Inn Steak Houses in the Seattle area has great chicken fried steak breakfasts. There's a restaurant in Miami, OK inside a casino that HAD the best I'd ever had. Hand breaded and made to order. Then they changed and I cried for weeks. A good one is tough to find. Beef patties are not chicken fried steaks.

Oh. My. God...

Kates Kitchen in Gladstone MO for breakfast

Ma and Pa's in Claycomo has great food to and a fine Chicken fried steak'

Oh and Longhorns steak house had good one there.

For a chain restaurant Texas Roadhouse serves a tasty Chicken Fried Steak and Gravy.

Tons of food snobs on here and I'm really not one, but I haven't been in a Dennys this century. If I Can cook it as well or better at home, never.

Strouds and Stephenson's

I have been to Goodson's. Completely overrated place. 7/10 chicken fried steak.

Now the place that serves the best chicken fried steak I've ever had...LAMBERT'S. Also known as Home of the Throwed Rolls. The only restaurant in Springfield, MO I actually like.

On my list to try!

Thread reminds me of a Man v Food episode. Love me some chicken friend steak every now and then. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/UcK0VRbBmbI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

RC's has a pretty good CFS

I actually agree. Overrated, but still good. The town my parents live in had a restaurant that served the best I ever had. Hole in the wall place in a town of about 900 people. The restaurant burned down a couple of years ago though.

In general though I think chicken fried steak is kinda overrated and any place trying to turn it into some gourmet shit is stealing from you.

I go to Lambert's more for the pass arounds anyway. Their fried okra is the bomb.

Gotta have my chicken fried steak, fried okra and mashed potatoes with cream gravy once a year...and a few rolls lobbed at my head and covered in sorghum and butter.

My Dad loved Sorghum he was from Sedalia. I hated the stuff but when he was alive we made the trek there to pick up a few jars.

Its a cereal grain but they extract a syrup from it it looks like honey or molasses but has a unique flavor hard to describe.

Sweet sorghum is any of the many varieties of the sorghum grass whose stalks have a high sugar content. Sweet sorghum thrives better under drier and warmer conditions than many other crops and is grown primarily for forage, silage, and syrup production. Sweet sorghum syrup is sometimes called "molasses" or "sorghum molasses" in some regions of the U.S., but the term molasses more properly refers to a different sweet syrup, made as a byproduct of sugarcane or sugar beet sugar extraction.

Anyway, it's kind of like honey. It has a slightly different flavor though. A bit tart.

Cracker Barrel is pretty good.
Black Eyed Pea also.

Down south in Georgia I bet if you ask for a jar with biscuits they will accommodate you. The grain looks a lot like Milo and is used in a lot of breakfast cereals and used to be popular as a grain cereal for babies.

No question. Those little mom and pop country stores have it for sure. Whole foods too I bet.

LAMBERTS

This will never happen.

Somebody mentioned it but Twin Peaks CFS is pretty good.. and ridiculously massive. Plus bewbs are nice

I don't like how it takes up the whole platter though so your taters and veggies are underneath

Auntie C's Restaurant in Park City, KS

My house.

There are some decent Chinese joints in Springfield.

Heading that way.. Will it be ready by noon?

It's not that hard to make. Bobby Flay has a recipe on food network that he used in a throw down with Paula Deen. It frankly kicks ass. Get a cast iron skillet and get to work!

Lamberts is crazy good. If you are in a hurry - hit the Cracker Barrel. Village Inn is not bad for breakfast (country fried steak and eggs).

Damn....I got to head out for some country fried steak and eggs now.. :)

Lamberts is a place where you CAN NOT go wrong. I've tried almost everything there [I used to do the work comp docket down the bootheel and the Sikeston Lamberts was the only decent restaurant for 10s or even 100s of miles, and I could expense the meal] and they do almost everything better than you would imagine. Nothing fancy, just homestyle cooking done great.

Personal favorite was the hamburger steak. Ground beef cooked like a steak and topped with mushroom, green pepper and onion gravy with fresh tomato slices swimming in them.

I go with collard greens and baked potato as sides.

There is a place here in town that looks like kind of a dive called the Muzzleloader Café that has a great chicken fried steak breakfast. There is so much food they give you two plates for the gut bomb.

Look for Steen's. If you can't find Steen's there should be something near the Karo and Molasses in the baking goods aisle.

Sorghum isn't much different from molasses, a little sweeter a little more sour, almost identical in appearance and consistency.

http://tastytouring.com/wp-content/u...up-recipes.jpg

Sorghum is made from milo. It was used before the civil war as a sweetener. It's a lot like molasses, only a little more sour. It's used mainly as an ingredient in baking. I've used it in my BBQ bean recipe before, but I like black molasses better. They sell sorghum at lots of Missouri roadside general stores. I saw some a couple days ago at the Dutch Store on US 50 in Tipton, MO.

Chicken Fried steak? Stroud's in KC is excellent. Cracker Barrel best for a chain restaurant. Corner Cafe is good (Liberty and Independence) and also Englewood Cafe in Independence. Stroud's gravy is the best, by far.

Dagwood's down near Mission and Southwest Trafficway had a pretty mean chicken fried steak. I usually get the 1/2 order, and that's enough to fill you up....

Someone need to link this thread with the hangover thread. CFS is the perfect hangover food.

I've been missing out for a long time. I'm going to have to drive up next week for a meal. It's only 20 miles up the street from me. My wife has never been there. Wow. No wonder there's always a 2 hour wait. Winter time is a great time to go there though. No Branson tourists clogging the place up.

Here's the Buzz Inn version, but I recall the gray looking far better years ago.

Indeed it is.

mmmmm... gravy.

Same with greasy cheeseburgers. Scientifically they've shown the grease cuts the alcohol or something like that making you feel better. Combined with the endorphins released over eating something awesome and you're well on your way!

Damn, that does look like a tasty Hamburger steak!

Yeah years ago I would head over to Mickey D's and order a couple of quarter pounds with cheese to take the edge off, or if I wanted a true adventure I would head over to one of the local taco joints and load up on greasy tacos with extra hot sauce. :doh!:

I love sorghum or molasses on biscuits because honey is just a LITTLE too sweet for my tastes.

A pat of butter and a gloop of blackstrap on my grandma's biscuits is a favorite childhood memory.

A little pan fried Eckrich long sausage on the side.

Had the chicken fried steak on special at Charlie Hoopers last night. It was just ok.

Sidepockets, Blue Springs. There tenderloin and burgers are great as well. And you can have a beer and a cig after, at your table.

my first job was at Texas Toms...

...did I mention gravy?

I've never seen one, just a tenderloin sammy.

I just bought this a couple days ago. A must have ingredient in my BBQ beans.

No sir. but you were lucky - did they give you a shift meal?!?!?!?


Yes. That's what I thought.

Down here, steak and shake has the greasiest burgers in town. Double cheese for under 4 Bucks too. Knocks that shit right back. God bless it. ROFL

Jack in the Box Tacos FTW!

yup!

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKIN!

Blackstrap molases is merely molasses that has had about 90-95% of the sugar removed. My Grandparents used to make it often. You can find it every now and again in the store, but it's not really something that they carry often.

We used to spend summers on my Grandparents dairy farm and had sorghum molasses and blackstrap with pretty much every meal - on baking powder biscuits.

The Cincinnati style? I've been meaning too. Thanks for the reminder! YSN

Wait, it's called 3 way or 5 way, right?

When I was stationed at Fort Hood (back in the early 70s) the deal was a Jumbo jack and two tacos...it would cure a hangover quicker that crap through a goose.






* I hit that place in Kileen on a regular basis......

You can find it in the Northeast pretty easily. One of the main components of real good baked beans along with fatback.

I always lived going to dagwoods. It's on southwest blvd.
