12 Texas Spots Serving Chicken Fried Steak That Covers The Whole Plate
From roadside cafés to small-town diners, these Texas spots take chicken fried steak seriously.

That’s when I realized Texas doesn’t mess around when it comes to portion sizes, especially with this iconic comfort food.
Since 1946, this Houston legend has been slinging steaks so massive they make regular dinner plates look like saucers.

Fun fact: the restaurant survived Hurricane Harvey and came back stronger, just like their portions.
