I saw lots of review with this restaurant, so we decided to pay a visit. The place is really nice and everyone treated us so kindly. Me and my husband ordered the special for the day ( pork chop) the mashed potatoes and the cornbread and veggies taste amazing, but the pork chop for me is a little oily. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still good but not how I expected it. But other than that, we still have a good time. It’s always good to experience old restaurant…started its operation since 1912 and the second oldest restaurant in Texas, it’s something to be proud off. Overall, I will still come back to this place

Great breakfast. Country fried steak was hearty, fried well, and great with the gravy. The east over eggs were also great. My favorite was the has browns. I was delighted they mixed in sauteed onions. Yummy!!!

Cowboy town rules. Service and atmosphere: This restaurant was established 104 years ago! It's the iconic spot in the most American cowboy town in the Great State of Texas. This restaurant is also famous for John Wayne memorabilia. The service was fast and very friendly. Food and drinks: Good selection of comfort foods with a touch of good old home cooking. I opted for steak that was cut in the restaurant. I ordered it medium rare but it was more on medium side. It was very tender and very well seasoned so I enjoyed it the way I had it served. Chicken Fried Chicken dish was equally good. Homely cooking with good flavours. Pricing: $/$$ - definitely worth it and I recommend you try this place when you are in town.

Fresh, tasty homemade food! Great salad bar. The apple pie was out of this world - be sure to order when they have it. And our server, Jessica, was delightful. I look forward to our next visit.
