I ordered the chicken fried steak plate, and let me tell you — this place is doing it right.
Five large, juicy, perfectly seasoned steak fingers with a thin, crispy crust that actually sticks to the meat instead of crumbling off. Hands down some of the best steak fingers I’ve ever had. They came out fast — about 10 minutes — and when I say hot, I mean so hot they melted the to-go box. That’s a quality signal if there ever was one.
The gravy deserves its own spotlight. Perfect consistency, rich flavor, and absolutely magical. If they ever start serving biscuits with this in the morning, they could easily dominate breakfast in Lamesa. It was also perfect for dipping the fries.
Speaking of fries — extra crispy, think Raising Cane’s or Braum’s level. Pro tip if you’re doing pickup: crack the box open right away to let the steam escape so they stay crisp on the drive home.
They also let me swap the salad for mac and cheese, which I appreciated. The flavor was good, though the noodles were softer than I personally prefer. Still solid, and I’m looking forward to trying other sides until I land on my perfect combo.
Overall, this was a fantastic meal — hot, fast, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. I’ll absolutely be back to work my way through the menu. If you haven’t tried The Lost Texan Cafe yet, you’re missing out.
