NovaTX - Just head out to Highway 46 to the Antler, best chicken fried steak, way better than Tip Top.

And the worst Chicken Fried steak in the Area, Texas Land and Cattle, cardboard with breading, and a bit price tag.


But I thought you were down for ToobSteak and Sausage Gravy!

The Antler is the best! Nice tenderized steak, like home cooked, and the Gravy is very good. Did I say they got great PIES!

If you are a gravy nut, like me, Alamo Café, I know the chicken fried isn't that good but you slice it in strips with the gravy and put it into their tortilla's best CFS taco there is!
Ok, Tip Tips is gonna be closed this weekend! :-/
So Antler, Mk Davis, Good Time Charlie's or Lulus? Please help me decide!

I had the CFS at Antler about six yrs ago and eh. Not bad but not the best.

The Antler has changed locations since then, it is no longer at US281N and TX46.

It is on TX46 east from US281N (meaning take a right) and travel about 1.5 - 2 miles. It will be on your left. I have not tried the food since they have moved.

I normally do not rate a CFS by its size on the plate, the damn steak is tenderized to the point of being 2mm thick with gaps in it covered by batter. Useless. This is the case with Rooty's on 410 yrs ago.

A CFS should be 1/4 thick after tenderizing, and in my opinion, using the same type of batter created at Mr & Mrs G's for their fried chicken. Which, BTW is the absolute best around chicken in Texas.

The milk gravy used at Radickes is very good. The CFS is better than most.

Chasing the elusive Best Chicken Fried Steak Ever is a pipe dream for me.

In my youth I was spoiled by growing up in Corpus Christi and going to Floyd's Restaurant, where my mother was the waitress and my aunt was the cook. For me, every meal was home cooked, and the CFS was the best in the world.
I almost forgot...Josephine St. I usually go there for steaks personally, but did venture out and try a chicken fried steak there as it was recommended by a waitress who had worked there a while.
If you have to pick one for the weekend, go with Lulu's. And after the chicken fried steak "slays your lust," you can take home a cinnamon roll that's so big it needs it's own seat belt.
