EXPLORER WAY CHICKEN FRIED STEAK

Trapper Joe's

Simpson, KS | Mitchell County

Owner Nick Jensen pours pride into every plate, from his famous butter-grilled, pan fried Explorer Way chicken-fried steak with local meat to heaps of scratch-made mashed potatoes and cream gravy. Big appetite? The hearty menu—from steaks to sandwiches (yes, even a salad in between)—has you covered.
