A chicken-fried steak is a staple of the Oklahoma diet, and it was added to the official State Meal list in 1988. Served with gravy and mashed potatoes, chicken-fried steak is as American as apple pie. In Noble, Kendall’s Restaurant has been chicken-frying steaks for over three decades. It has been around for three different locations, and the reputation for crisp-on-the-outside, juicy steaks has held up well through the years. A hubcap-sized tender round steak is served with gravy and mashed potatoes, and it may even come with fried okra.
