I am class of '99. Moved away 10 yrs ago. Visiting this weekend and I'm craving the best CFS in town. Please advise.

In Utah, CFS is breaded and fried ground beef. God help us all.

I would go here...



Update: The Yelp reviews are all over the place. So maybe not.

Lulu's had a good one, but they are now closed.

Good Time Charlie's has a good one.

I still haven't been to Tip Top yet, but it's a regular place for some in our office.
I want to try them.

Bud Jones was good back in the day. DeWese's Tip Top was good last time I've had it. Hell, I wouldn't turn down a CFS from Jim's.

I had this place confused with another old restaurant. Anyone ever eaten at MK Davis on N. Flores?

Probably died because of the economic downturn due to the pandemic.

Not sure if it's the best but Radicke's Bluebonnet Grill makes a great chicken fried steak. They have a jalapeno gravy that's awesome.

This is the correct answer. Just make sure to come strapped and don't leave valuables in your car.

Ditto, fantastic CFS but pretty rough area. MK Davis is old school and great. Good Time Charlies is also up there.

Or drive an hour up 16 to TJ's Old Forge in Bandera. Good chicken fried steak, and they do a lot of other things right.

I don't think this is correct, unless they closed just in the last couple of weeks, and given its status as an institution I would expect news like that to be in the paper.

Lulu's is auctioning off some items.

I drove by MK Davis today at lunchtime wanting to try their CFS. There was a big bunch of people on the porch waiting to get a table. I don't think they are closed.

No offense and to each their own, but I think this place is trash.

The place or the food? The place is pretty rough, but the food was great. Caveat that with I haven't been there in quite some time so it could have gone downhill.
