Street’s Fine Chicken is a Dallas institution with family roots that run deep in Texas dining history. The Street family name has long been synonymous with comfort food, thanks to Gene Street, the legendary restaurateur behind beloved brands like Black-eyed Pea, Dixie House, and Good Eats. His nephew, Marco Street, and the next generation have carried that torch with Street’s Fine Chicken — a place that feels both nostalgic and fresh, blending family tradition with French-inspired finesse. Every dish tells a story, every plate feels like home, and the vibe is equal parts Southern charm and modern comfort.
Their chicken-fried steak is the stuff of legend — a thick, tender cutlet soaked in buttermilk, dredged in perfectly seasoned flour, and fried to a golden crisp that crackles with each bite. It’s crowned with jalapeño cream gravy that gives a gentle kick without overpowering the flavor. The steak is hearty and soulful, a plate that feels like a warm Texas hug. It’s also the perfect way to celebrate Texas Chicken Fried Steak Day on October 26 — a holiday that practically demands a visit to Street’s. Few places embody the spirit of the dish quite like they do.
But don’t stop there. The rest of the menu reads like a love letter to Southern comfort. Their fried chicken — available classic, spicy, or French-style — is 24-hour brine infused with lemon and herbs de provence then fried to golden perfection. The chicken and waffles are a fan favorite, pairing sweet and savory in perfect harmony.
For lighter bites, there’s the Southern chicken salad, and the crispy chicken tenders that locals swear are the best in the city. Sides shine just as brightly — buttery mashed potatoes, roasted brussels sprouts with balsamic glaze, brie mac and cheese baked until bubbling and crisp on top, and those pillowy buttermilk biscuits that could easily steal the show on their own.
Street’s Fine Chicken feels like the evolution of Texas comfort — honoring the past while serving up something fresh and satisfying. Whether you’re celebrating Texas Chicken Fried Steak Day, grabbing brunch with friends, or simply craving fried chicken done right, Street’s delivers every time. It’s a taste of legacy, love, and that unmistakable Texas pride — all on one plate.
