Top spots for country fried steak and green beans.

Country-fried steak is a thoroughly delicious comfort food dish, but it can be a little too rich, which is where fresh veggies make a huge difference. Adding vibrant green beans to your country-fried steak not only enhances the overall flavor, it provides a nice contrast to the savory tender fried steak and creamy peppery gravy. If you want a proper Southern classic “down home” meal with all the delicious sides, add the following restaurants to your list: Here are five chains with the best country fried steak and green beans, according to diners.
