I've been on a chicken fried steak kick lately, so after years since I've been here, I thought I'd give them another try.
I used to come here pretty regularly, however I stopped when I realized that my chicken fried steak was not really a steak at all. After I pushed aside the gravy, I realized that there were about 3-4 pieces of breaded steak under there. It kinda freaked me out, cause I was thinking that they were giving me other people's leftovers. I asked our server about why there were small cuts of meat, and not one large steak, they didn't seem to know what I was talking about. Not wanting to make a big deal about it, I just stopped going here, and it's been about seven years since I've been back.
When we returned this time around 9:30am on a Friday, they were busy as usual, but the wait wasnt too long. The staff were the same nice people from before.
I ordered the chicken fried steak with home fries, eggs over easy and of course biscuits & gravy. To my surprise, the chicken fried steak came with three to four pieces covered by gravy. I thought, maybe this is just how they do their CFS? My husband thinks that maybe they just used smaller higher quality cuts, so I just went with that suggestion and didn't fret over my breakfast.
The CFS was perfectly breaded, crispy, seasoned and the meat was tender. The traditional white gravy was delicious with perfect consistency and flavor.
My eggs were perfectly cooked. The potatoes were more like thin largely shredded pieces, and a bit too burnt for my taste, however my husband loved them.
The biscuits were delicious and stayed soft & fluffy from start to finish. Many biscuits that I've had elsewhere start of soft, but as soon as they start to cool off a bit, they're like cardboard.
My husband had two eggs over medium, two sausage patties, cottage cheese and a side of biscuits & gravy. His eggs were cooked perfectly and he was pleased with his simple meal. Of course I shared my CFS with the hubby and he loved it!
The service is prompt & efficient, so much so that you might feel a tad bit rushed by the server. When she takes your order, you might want to know exactly what you want before she gets to you or you may feel the 10mph energy emanating from her smack you upside your head. Lol. She's nice, but dont do anything to slow her down.
All in all, we left happy & satified. We'd likely come back when I'm craving CFS and we're in the area, but I'm still on the hunt for the ultimate CFS.

Excellent spot for breakfast. Great food, even better service. Been going there for years and even after moving to CO, I still make it a point to come when I'm down visiting
