Chicken fried steak is one of the most popular dishes here in Texas, so it’s a bold claim to say that a restaurant has the best chicken fried steak in the state. Joe’s Place in Fayetteville, however, just may live up to our impossibly high standards. This small town eatery serves up a chicken fried steak that’s crispy on the outside, moist on the inside, and so big, it practically falls off the plate.

Tucked away in the heart of downtown Fayetteville, Joe's Place is more than just a restaurant.

It's everything a chicken-fried steak should be: crispy on the outside, and perfectly moist and tender on the inside. The best part? It's so big, it practically falls off the plate. That's right, folks - no skimping on portion sizes here.
