When you order a chicken fried steak you know that you’re getting a hardy meal that is going to fill you up.

Obviously, you don’t want a tough piece of meat, but if you ask me, it’s all about the country gravy.

But if your gravy is watery that can ruin your entire meal. But of course, we all want a good piece of meat that is covered with delicious gravy and some locals have some suggestions on where to go.
