Goodson's Cafe for the best chicken fried steak in the world according to Diners, Drive-ins and Dives TV. Be hungry cause its huge! Its on the west side of Houston, link: Goodson's Cafe - TX - Citysearch
EDIT:
Actually Mel's Cafe rates better than Goodsons. Both famous for giant chicken fried steak. Both locations are close to one another: Mel's Country Cafe, Tomball - Restaurant Reviews - TripAdvisor
But I could be wrong...New Yorkers may not like country cooking
