Well, you know I think chicken fried steak qualifies as a “burger,” if you’ve read my posts before.\u00a0 When my friend Jay suggested we brunch here today, I (as always) perused their menu online<\/a> ahead of time, and knew I would have a hard time deciding between their scrumptious sounding breakfast entrees, or a burger.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chicken fried steak seemed like a good compromise.\u00a0 Pay attention now, because Jay made a few substitutions in his order, and I followed suit, much to my great satisfaction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the menu, the CFS comes with eggs, greens, mashed potatoes, and brown gravy.\u00a0\u00a0 Jay suggested we substitute home fries and sausage gravy, which we did.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My culinary technical review?\u00a0 Man oh man oh man oh man.\u00a0\u00a0 An unbelievable brunch entree.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Everything was seasoned just to my liking, a little salt, a little kick.\u00a0\u00a0 The eggs (not pictured) were perfect.\u00a0\u00a0 The greens unbelievably smoky.\u00a0 The steak coating crispy and well-seasoned.\u00a0 The potatoes with just enough crisp.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We sat at the kitchen “bar” and watched our food lovingly prepared.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Observing other orders being prepared, I didn’t see a single thing come off the grill, cast iron skill, or out of the salamander that didn’t make me drool.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Service was great, ample refills (without asking) of coffee, water, and inquiries as to our satisfaction as the meal progressed.

Country Cat serves brunch and dinner daily.\u00a0 I can’t wait for a return visit.<\/strong><\/p>\n
