Customer Reviews

“Texas steaks like I remember from my youth. Huge, juicy, tender, and that taste only fresh Texas beef has.”

“Worth a trip of more than 50 miles!

This little spot is a comfort food oasis on highway 181 between San Antonio and Corpus Christi.”

“I had a hamburger with onion rings. The hamburger was old-fashioned, like homemade. The food was served hot and was excellent.”
