Chubby's Restaurant · Northeast Dallas
Dallas Observer's 14 Best Chicken Fried Steaks. Operating since 1987 and the Observer's 2025 Best Chicken Fried Steak; hand-cut USDA choice beef with peppery country gravy.
Jonathon's Diner · Oak Cliff, Dallas
Dallas Observer's 14 Best. The 2024 Best of Dallas winner; tender steak with a saltine-cracker crust that made the Jonathon's version the touchstone.
Norma's Cafe · Oak Cliff, Dallas
A 1956 Dallas institution. Double-dipped chicken-fried steak is the most-ordered plate in the room.
Ozona Grill and Bar · Greenville Avenue, Dallas
This Greenville Avenue bar and grill fries a hearty, no-frills chicken fried steak to a golden, crisp crust and keeps the beef tender under a rich, creamy country gravy. A laid-back, rustic vibe and patio make it as much a spot for a beer and a plate as for the steak itself.
