Surprisingly good. I was thinking with breaded steak it would be bad but wanted to try since it was on sale. While the breading wasn’t crispy the flavor overall was good.

just plain disappointing
The most disappointing frozen meal i have ever had. I was really looking forward to this after a long day and no lunch. The meat was tough and the breading fell off while cooking. The green beans were chewy and the gravy was a nasty glob stuck to the beans. The potatoes were the best part of the meal. This was a step below Banquet meals which to me are mystery food. I don't think that I'm brave enough to try a different meal.

Nope. She should just do sides 🫠
Potatoes - yum. The rest is a no for me. I'm someone who likes canned green beans so I guess I gave it a shot anyway. The steak is tough and fatty. You can feel it tugging and pulling fat in every bite. Even on your tongue. No. Yuck.

The most horrible tv dinner
The absolute worst tv dinner I have ever had. Is Dolly’s financial situation so poor that she has to get compensated for the worst piece of crap?

Awful in taste and quality
I hated this! Nothing about it was good. The meat was grey in color. The potatoes were grainy green beans were. Ok Over all I was sadly disappointed

Horrible. Steak?.
It was inedible. The potatoes were like glue and had a strange texture. The green beans were mushy. The chicken fried steak?? Is that what that was? There was no gravy. The breading came off and was like mush. The so -called was tough and gristly. I expected better from something with Dolly Parton’s name on it. Boston Market’s is much better for lees cost.

OK and filling, not as delicious as it looks, but hearty.
The green beans are great, the beef is rather chewy but tastes ok. The potatoes are like starch with pepper. I wish they had more intricate flavor. Overall, filling and Ok. Just OK.

Laking in presentation and quantity.
I just tried one. The flavor is good, but the presentation is laking. I didn't like the steak over the green beans. We southerners eat ours over the mashed potatoes. There's barely any gravy on the meat, almost non-existent. We like enough for meat and potatoes. Price for the amount of food isn't fair.

Horrible
I was so excited that our grocery store finally carried her meals. I bought the chicken fried steak one because I love that meal m I make it homemade but when lazy I was excited to try hers!! Are you kidding me?? Does Dolly try her own frozen products?? I would take my name off the trademark. Disgusting.

Disappointing meal
I wanted to like this with Dolly's name on the package but it was absolutely awful! The green beans smelled weird and were shriveled and tasted terrible. The mashed potatoes were the worst of the typical frozen meal instant potatoes. The steak and gravy was extremely tough to cut or chew. I took a bite of each just to try it and immediately threw it in the trashcan. Very disappointed and will not be buying any of her frozen meal line.

Yuck!
I foolishly thought because Dolly’s name was used on this product that it would be delicious. I cooked in the microwave according to the directions. What was left was mostly inedible. The green beans were rubberish, the chicken fried steak had three pieces of grizzle and the potatoes were flat. Yuck, I just threw it all away!

Country Fried Bland
I had the Country Fried Steak for supper but will not be having it again. My meal looked nothing like the picture on the box. The gravy got lost in the beans. The meat was tough and stringy. I will give the potatoes an A+ because they were "real" and very tasty but the taste of the meal overall was rather bland. It was six months from expiration, so I guess it was fresh. I think there was some bacon flavor but the hype about bacon on the box was undeserved.

Terrible. One of the worst frozen meals ever.
My wife and I *love* Dolly's cakes, muffins, bars - all the baked goods. This country fried steak meal was AWFUL. The meat was rubbery, the breading was soggy, the edges of the meat were overcooked and dry, while the center was just chewy. The potatoes and beans were no btter than a cheap Stouffer's version. If this is what Dolly's brand meals are like, I'll stick to Marie Calendars. And I LOVE DOLLY! The woman is a national treasure. I'm just sad to see her name stamped on such a bad product.

Overall, Disappointed
meat patty was mechanically tenderized, but still contained so much connective tissue that fully one third of the meat was inedible! Mashed potatoes were bland and watery. Over all, flavors were fairly good, but product could use some improvement.

Easy, Tasty, and Worth It
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Convenient, quick, and easy to prepare, making them perfect for busy days. The green beans were great, well-seasoned, and delicious. Highly recommend!

Love it!
I thought it was delicious. Definitely nice on a cold night after work. I did mine in the oven and it was perfection. The highly recommend. I think I got the version where the green beans are under the patty and the mashed potatoes are in a separate container. I feel like that probably made the meal better than the people that reviewed the other one cause I thought this one was delicious! And it was on sale for two dollars! Even better.

I will always love you Dolly!!! 🌹
I bought one of these because it said Dolly Parton and of course the world loves Dolly Parton for obvious reasons. Number one with a bullet she tells it like it is straightforward and honest. Of course I had high hopes when heating this up in the microwave and my hopes were 100% met. As always Dolly delivered. I often eat frozen dinners. I'm not sure how anyone can compare this to fresh hot cooking? This is a frozen dinner that you throw in the microwave and boom in minutes it is ready to eat. As a person who eats lots of frozen dinners I can tell you this one is well worth the money! Go out pick up one and see for yourself. All of the bad reviews on here are from competitors I can assure you. Tcasey1 Born and bred in Southeast Georgia 275 lb 5'11"and I will always love you Dolly!!
