Fat Lyle's: Has to be the top choice for fried chicken and biscuits and extra points for the Hank Hill propane and propane accessories. Out of the many hyped up fried chicken places in Texas but this place, despite being in a VERY remote city in Texas and residing in a somewhat unassuming trailer, wins out by a pretty fat margin.
The biscuit is made by the mother of the married couple who run Fat Lyle's and it is unbelievable. The crust is crispy and crunchy with a center that is incredibly moist and crumbly. That coupled with a pretty amazing buttery salty flavor makes this one of Texas's best biscuits (it is a pretty bold claim but that is one great biscuit).
That brings us to the best part: the fried chicken. The coating crackles like a potato chip as you bite yet clings to the meat. The crust has a great combination of spices and chicken is firm and shockingly juicy. This absolutely has to be the best fried chicken in Texas and makes me consider making the 8 hour drive (and yes you have to drive, no airports near Marfa) just to get another taste.
