Hill Country Cupboard

Excellent service provided by Clinton. The fried chicken steak is a must try along with their mimosas. Their serving sizes were very generous and I would definitely recommend if you are passing by Johnson City.

Good food, homestyle country cooking, fair prices.

I've eaten here at least once in the past. This is a well known restaurant at an intersection frequented by both travelers and locals. The menu has a wide selection of food of which contains the chicken fried steak.

I've had many a person comment to me about eating here, so I decided to give it another try. The first time I visited it was early in the morning. This time it was lunch so we ordered 3 chicken fried steaks.

Our order came out pretty quick and all the portions were plentiful. I ordered fried okra and mashed potatoes with mine.

My only criticism was that all the food lacked salt and spices of any kind. The gravy seemed overly bland. After a bit of salt and pepper the flavor improved but I felt like it could have been better.

Overall the meal was good, service was great, and portions were more than filling. But as far as being impressed, I felt it was just decent.

I make a point of eating anywhere that claims to have best-in-world food. As I sped down the highway I saw the sign and in that moment committed to stop on the way back. I did. I ordered. I ate. I was filled. But more than that, my waitress was super nice, attentive and genuinely a cool person. If the food and friendliness at the Cupboard are indicative of all Johnson City then we’ll need to come by (not just through) again!

Now, as for best chicken fried steak in the world? Well, it was mighty fine. How ‘bout that?

I ordered the country fried chicken. My stomach was queasy by time I located the chicken in all that batter. Took half the meal home and fed it to my German Shepherd ... who thoroughly enjoyed it. Probably was not a good idea eating peach ice cream in Stonewall then ordering chicken fried chicken forty minutes later. That peach ice cream was really GOOD! My husband enjoyed his chicken fried chicken meal. He wanted to order another one.
