The Chicken Fried Life

Chicken Fried

Our Place (Mansfield, TX, location reviewed.)

The Food: We opted for the chicken fried steak, with a side of mashed potatoes and fried okra. For good measure, we also tried the chicken fried chicken. Both entrees were excellent. Both chicken fried items featured thick, crispy breading. Gravy was also thick. The day we visited was during the holidays and the staff was overrun processing people who had bought holiday pies. (The pies are also great here.) The service was good, despite the crowd. There’s plenty of good grub to choose from including daily specials. Several entrees are also offered in a smaller portion with one side instead of two for $5.99.

(We’re also fans of their breakfast, but this is a Chicken Fried site – so we’ll stay on topic.)

The Place: The Mansfield location is by itself near Highway 157. The dining area can seem a little cramped when they are busy, but the restaurant is well lit and nicely decorated. There are also a few outside tables that are great when weather allows.

The People: Very friendly. Good hometown staff.

Cost: Most entrees are around $10, but sandwiches and burgers are cheaper.

Adult Beverages: Nope.

Kid Friendly: Sure.

Hours: 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, 7 days a week (Sorry, no dinner service yet.)
