So I have the worst picture yet for what I've found thus far to be the best CFS in Portland, OR, bar none.
Southern-style breading, seasoned just right where it adds a bit of flavor without distraction; rich but not heavy sausage gravy with sizable bits of sausage hiding out in it; and a perfectly-cooked steak. The portion size is healthy (bigger than Pig'n Pancake, smaller than Hungry Tiger Too) but balanced with the other parts of this nutritious breakfast.
And the price? Also the best we've yet to find for what you get. And for this quality you should be paying much more.

CFS at the Plank House
In Coos Bay, at The Mill Casino, they have a really solid CFS breakfast. Like the Hungry Tiger Too the CFS gets its own plate and the whole b-fast will set you back about $10.
The breading on their CFS was perfect, too - crispy, dense, but not suffocating. "Firm" would be a good, positive descriptor. The meat was just thin enough w/o being too thin or too thick as well. As far as the steak goes, it was all very well proportioned and balanced.
I wish I could say the same for the gravy. It had a flavor I just couldn't place but I had the feeling they used a soup mix in there or it was a gravy mix of some kind. It definitely used the sausage drippings, though, and was the perfect blend, not runny and not too thick (like mine usually is). But that flavor was just weird, like they'd used cream of mushroom soup or something. It wasn't bad, mind you, but it was definitely off-setting. Thankfully, it wasn't off-putting enough to mess up a really well done meal.
If you're ever out at Coos Bay and want to find a good CFS, look no further than the Plank House.
