| - To be fair, this review is based only on the CFS, as we both had it. The best way to describe it is "Quantity over Quality. It is way, way WAY overrated. We saw the chicken fried steak review in the Arizona Republic's annual Roundup of the best in Arizona and went to try it out. The CFS is itself pretty ordinary, but then, how good can CFS be? Is a pretty simple dish made from a cheap cut of meat. The accompanying mashed potatoes were just okay. I must say that the coleslaw is the best I've ever had.
The portions are over the top gigantic. There is no way a normal person can eat this meal: for $14 you get two absolutely enormous pieces of meat covered in breading and smothered in cream gravy. As a result, there was a lot of waste-we paid attention, and didn't see a single person come close to finishing their meal. Of course, a lot of people then take it home, but warmed up chicken fried steak? Really? The waitress agreed that they serve way too much food-she said they often suggest to management just serving one piece of meat, But for some reason they don't, except for lunch. I guess they prefer to make their contribution to America's obesity problem.
We arrived 6PM Friday night and had a short, 10 minute wait. They only take reservations for 6 or more.
