Huge Chicken Fried Steaks Under $20
I've reviewed Sherrys Texan for seafood at their old location, but this was both my first visit since they moved to Goliad Rd, and the first time trying their Chicken Fried Steak I've heard so much about.
After eating this chicken fried steak I had to seriously consider my best CFS rankings..
**Initial Impression**
The location is much smaller than where they used to be, I arrived just before the dinner rush at about 5:20 and the restaurant was already 80% full. It took a second to be noticed and seated, and by the time my food arrived the restaurant was packed, with a small line of people waiting outside the front door.
Big Texan Chicken Fried Steak
The Big Texan Chicken Fried Steak is a 12oz steak served with a choice of potatoes (mash, fries, or red potatoes), a salad and some Texas toast. Probably the best deal in town as far as chicken fried steaks go.
The salad and drink came out decently quick, the salad was good, nothing really different. Then the steak arrived, with the red potatoes I ordered. The waitress brought a small bowl of butter packets, as I asked if the potatoes were seasoned or anything and she said no.
The steak had a nice crispy crust that was flakey, not hard like some places where it crunches and is hard to chew. This was light and crisp, almost like a corn flake or tortilla crust batter. Honestly the crust on the steak here, its flavor, and its texture are what set this steak apart from everywhere else. The couple onion rings that came on the plater were great as well. If your an onion ring fan, Id recommend an order of these to share. They had a great breading as well, and were thick and tender, cooked perfectly.
The size of the steak was pretty good, not an overly huge steak, but a decently sized one that I knew I wasn't going to finish in a single sitting. The gravy had good favor, the meat was tender, easy to cut and chew, with good flavor and texture across the board.
**Overall Impression**
I had already given them a high score for the seafood and again, the chicken fried steak didnt let me down. So far everything I've ordered from Sherry's has been excellent. I'll definitely be coming back to try some more items. The food is made fresh & flavorful, the portions on the large plates are huge (Texas CFS & Fishermans Platter) and the prices compared to other places locally for what you get are really good.
Other than the new space being a bit small, the lot filling up, and there being a wait during peak hours, the quality of the food seems to have held up despite the recent move.
