10 Craziest Food Creations to Try at the State Fair of Texas in 2025

The deep-fried deliciousness just keeps getting better year after year.

Calypso Island Shrimp Bowl

Calypso Island Shrimp Bowl

Fair-goers this year will be tempted by this tasty and colorful tropical cabbage stir fry with fresh carrots, kale, scallions, ginger, and sweet red bell peppers, served on a yellow tropical rice topped with herbaceous grilled Caribbean (marinated) shrimp and a sweet and spicy tropical glaze. Um…can I just say YES?!

Fernie’s Fried Burnt End Burrito

Fernie’s Fried Burnt End Burrito

Have you ever had what’s called a “donkey tail?” That’s what this Texas State Fair food reminds me of…dressed up, of course, with jalapeño popper cream cheese, crispy bacon and a Mexican cheese blend, and then stuffed with smoky nuggets of barbecue burnt ends. Quick fried to a golden brown crispy and served with a sweet tangy, spicy barbecue sauce.

Can I make shorts out of my sweatpants, because this one has definitely gotta go on my must-try fried foods list.

Ruth’s Stuffed Fried Mexi-Cone

texas state fair food

Ruth’s Stuffed Fried Mexi-Cone

My only question is why didn’t anyone think of this before?

It’s like a tostada rolled up and into an easy to eat shape and then stuffed with all the best flavors of Mexico. Ruth’s Stuffed Fried Mexi-Cone is stuffed with cilantro-lime rice, pico de gallo, queso fresco, salsa verde and delicious, tongue-teasing barbacoa.

Southern Fried Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Ball

Southern Fried Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Ball

It’s like Italian food had a baby with Texas. 

The love-child of Italian food and Texas state fair food is, of course, the Southern Fried Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo Ball. This ball of deep-fried deliciousness is filled with fettuccine alfredo, Southern fried chicken bites, and fresh mozzarella cheese.

The ball is garnished with house made alfredo sauce, grated parmesan cheese, Italian parsley, fresh basil, and cracked black pepper. Served with a side of flash fried lemon pepper asparagus spears, and a toasted garlic parmesan baguette.

Texas Cream Corn Casserole Fritters

Texas Cream Corn Casserole Fritters

Just because I like creamed corn, doesn’t mean I’m old.

Grandma’s traditional Cream Corn Casserole with a Texas twist! Cream corn, kernel corn, sour cream, cheddar cheese, and cornbread mix are combined into a batter, chopped bacon and freshly diced jalapenos. Instead of baking, the Corn Casserole is fried into crispy, lightly browned fluffy pillows of frittery goodness!

Four to an order are arranged around a Cream Corn Queso Blanco for dipping and sharing!

Big Red Chicken Bread

texas state fair food

Big Red Chicken Bread

That’s the sexiest chicken wing I’ve ever laid eyes on.

LMBO Who did this?! Brent & Juan Reaves, that’s who. Y’all have just been crowned the glorious winners of food that immediately won my heart (and also the heart of Big Tex Choice Awards).

Look, I know how everybody loves to talk about Dr Pepper, but this time its little sister takes center stage with a homemade, light, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth, Big Red® -flavored frosting, and served with a savory fried chicken wing resting in the middle of the doughnut. So long chicken and waffles!

Deep-Fried Bayou Fruit Bites

texas state fair food

Deep-Fried Bayou Fruit Bites

You can pretend you’re eating healthy because it’s got fruit y’all.

This delectable dessert is produced using fresh fruit wedges that are battered, deep fried, and sensuously coated in a secret sweet confection. It is finished with creamy whipped topping and drizzled with warm caramel sauce. For those with an extreme sweet tooth, additional toppings include candy, chocolate chips, walnuts, pecans, and assorted berries.

Fla’Mango Tango

Fla’Mango Tango

Yep, my waistline is officially doomed.

I also officially don’t care. This Texas state fair food takes the mango twist and then deep fries it. It is then topped with whipped topping, coated in a sweet citrus glaze, and then served with a side of strawberry mango sorbet.

Peanut Butter Cup Snookie

texas state fair food

Peanut Butter Cup Snookie

Get in my belly!

I dunno what Snookie has to do with this dish, but count me in. The Peanut Butter Cup Snookie takes a warm, fresh baked peanut butter cup cookie and tops it with vanilla ice cream adorned with caramel and chocolate drizzle, and whipped cream. And a cherry.

Quick Fried Black Gold Truffles

texas state fair food

Quick Fried Black Gold Truffles

Take ALL my tickets!!

I don’t know how many tickets this dish costs, but they can have ALL mine. A decadent treat made from thin chocolate cookies crushed into crumbs combined with deliciously rich cream cheese. Super sweet mini white chocolate chips are added to make this truffle an unforgettable piece of gold.
