My wife and I are traveling to the Austin and areas west next week to
visit family, and although we have barbecue menu planned, we are
looking for a place where we might find a good chicken fried steak. We
are not restricted to Austin, and open to places west as far as San
Angelo, as thats where we will eventually end up, well not quite that
far, but close enough.

Almost all resturants in Texas serve CFS. It's just cubesteak that's
been dipped in egg wash and breadcrunbs and fried in oil.
BTW the worse a place looks, the better the BBQ or CFS.

In Austin, I would recommend Hoover's Cooking on Manor Rd.

Beyond question the finest CFS on the planet; huge, crunchy, delicious,
creamy and tender: Served with mashed, or other spud.

Cafe On The Square
119 W 7th St
Georgetown, TX 78626

About 27 Mi N. of Austin on I-35

Although I grew up in Texas, I've never been a huge CFS fan. But, I do get
cravings every once in a while. I've heard great things about the CFS at
The Broken Spoke on S. Lamar- I've been there to hear music, but haven't
eaten there. I thought the Threadgills version was only slightly above
average.

Have to agree with the reviewer. It reminds me that almost everything in
Austin so-so, but consistently over-hyped. My favorite CFS/CFC, heretofore,
has been Hickory Hollow in Houston. Has anyone else tried them? BBQ
doesn't suck, either.
