Default I got a craving....

Normally i would post this in OT, but i think it's a more regional concern. I have a craving for some really good chicken fried steak. The local 59 Diner had the best stuff until about a year ago when they changed their recipie.

any suggestions for the spring/tomball/conroe area?

Goodson's Cafe in Tomball, very, very good. If you don't want to go that far, The Cypress Station Grill on Spring-Cypress and Hempstead.

I agree with the steak , but their gravy to me almost ruins it, if they would get white cream gravy I would wiegh 300 pounds.That place is pretty close to work so we use to hit it at least once a week.

A whilee back yes, but for some reason it's just not the same. I think it has something to do with the new gravy.

My favorite place.

Those fried mushrooms are soooooo good. And all you can eat catfish & shrimp Fridays! Woot!

Probably why I'm 60+ pounds overweight and fighting to lose it now. :o

Side note, they just started serving breakfast Saturday and Sunday.
