With the term "dadbod" taking off on social media and today's celebration of International No Diet Day (#PlusSizeAppreciation), I took on a personal quest to find Lubbock's best chicken fried steak.

Here's a list of some of the best reviewed places to overindulge in the deep-fried goodness right here in the Hub City! Just the picture is making me hungry.

Note: These five restaurants were found via Trip Advisor and received high reviews marks from users. This is not meant to be a definitive 'best of' list, but merely entertaining and helpful for locals and visitors alike. We take no responsibility for any weight gained as a result of eating chicken fried steak.
