Cheever's Cafe
A local institution since 2000 serving Southern comfort food with a Southwestern twist. Its chicken fried steak with Mexican chile cream gravy is widely praised.
Set in an old flower shop building in the Uptown 23rd district. The setting is elegant but casual, and locals often recommend it for gatherings. The signature chicken fried steak has a crisp crust and tender meat, topped with Mexican chile cream gravy and served with garlic red-skin mashed potatoes. Portions are large enough to share between two. A weekend brunch version comes over pan-fried potatoes with hollandaise. It is open for lunch and dinner, with brunch from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on weekends. Reserve ahead during busy dinner hours. About $25–45 per person, about a 5-minute drive from downtown.
Opening hours
Monday–Thursday 11:00 AM–9:00 PM; Friday 11:00 AM–10:00 PM; Saturday 10:00 AM–10:00 PM; Sunday 10:00 AM–9:00 PM; weekend brunch 10:00 AM–3:00 PM
