Babe's Chicken Dinner House

We were searching for the perfect chicken fried steak. We walked in and were seated immediately. The server was super friendly and took our order as soon as we sat down. He explained the family style serving method and we were good to go. The salad was a southern staple ... basically seasoned lettuce. So simple and so good! We both ordered chicken fried steak and it was a good size, cooked well and had good flavor. The star of the show was the gravy. I felt like I was sitting at my grandma's table. White Gravy made with chicken drippings ... OMG, it was sooooo good. Buttery corn, bacon green beans, creamy mashed potatoes, and crunchy, but fluffy biscuits. I loved Babe's Chicken!!!

Oh this might be my favorite Fried Chicken place! I love my fried chicken. I love the all-you-can-eat family style sides! The vibe is awesome. The service is top-notch! Each meal comes with biscuits, salad and sides.

Service was excellent. Seated quickly and our server was great. Very friendly and was good about checking on us. Took some time for my eyes to adjust to the very dim lightening. We ordered their fried chicken (Very crispy and moist but the flavor was just “okay”. This was my son’s pick but he ate ours instead because he did not like it) catfish (Crispy with good seasoning) fried steak (Crispy, tender and flavorful. My husband and son’s favorite.). Their sides are just okay. Mash is bland, corn is good and the green beans has too much of a char taste for me.

So the Hillbilly got to hang with some family while in Dallas. The place we chose to meet up at was Babe's Chicken in Arlington. First and foremost, if you want something other than chicken, you are in the wrong place! The 5 different chicken plates are served with all the sides you can eat, kinda like Lambert's here in the Ozarks. All the food was great, but I think I was most impressed with their honey. I know, I know, all that food and the thing I picked is honey... but it was REALLY GOOD!! The other thing that stood out was the service. Davon was outstanding! If management sees this, they need to give him a bonus. Just sayin'. My nephew said they have locations throughout the metro, and they have one really close to their place. That could be dangerous. Great food, great atmosphere,

Great restaurant and very unique. You can order from fried chicken, chicken fried steak, smoked chicken or Catfish. You pick one and they bring all the sides to you. I recommend the fried chicken and chicken fried steak. And to top it off order some banana pudding which is a local favorite.
