My salad
Tony S.

Being my last night in Texas (and probably the last time to boot), I wanted a good steak dinner. The name, Iron Skillet restaurant, was tickling the back of my brain. But, after 453 miles of driving today, I'm a little fuzzy brained. And, it wasn't until I got there, and saw that it was located in a truck stop, that I realized it was a chain restaurant vs an independent. Well, since I was already pretty hungry, I decided to give it a go. I ordered the petite sirloin, medium, with baked potato and sour cream, along with the salad bar. On the salad bar, everything was fresh and crisp. The balsamic vinaigrette dressing was very good. My server, Barbie, was very polite, despite being harried, as a place was quite crowded. When my meal arrived, the steak was cooked to perfection. However, the garlic toast was barely above room temperature. And baked potato, was a bit tough. Too bad they don't serve wine. It would have improved the meal. Also, while the steak was good, it did have a few tough spots in it. But, for $11.69, one cannot expect a 5 Star meal.

Shrimp basket!

We went to Iron Skillet in WEATHERFORD Texas it was great. Food was good and reasonably priced. My 10 year old had spaghetti. (He cleaned his plate) My mother had the shrimp basket which was wonderful and I ate the buffet with absolutely no complaints food was great. It was very clean. Service was phenomenal with Sierra as our waitress she was so up beat and bubbly continually asking if we needed anything and always with a smile. I haven't had that kind of service in upscale restaurants! 5 from me!

I went for the breakfast buffet and the food was cold and the drinks were very expensive ( 2 ice teas were $4.98) Was very dis-satisfied.

The rumors are true Rio Brazos Grill is fantastic. Not "good for a small town," not "surprisingly…read moredecent" just flat-out good. The kind of place where it's immediately obvious someone in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing, which already puts it ahead of most restaurants pretending to. The meal starts strong with flash-fried calamari Fresno chilies, sweet chili sauce, balanced heat, and a clean execution. It comes as strips, which feels a little safe. Rings or whole baby squid would've shown more technical confidence, but fine the flavor still delivers, and at the end of the day, that's what people actually remember. The Calabria chili shrimp follows with the same sense of control: spicy, but not trying to prove a point. Paired with grilled baguette, it does exactly what it's supposed to do support the dish instead of getting in the way. And then there's the Chicken Fried Ribeye, which sounds like a bad decision until you eat it. Crispy on the outside, rich and tender underneath, covered in black pepper gravy with buttermilk mashed potatoes, a potato nest, and because apparently restraint is optional--two fried quail eggs. It's excessive, but not stupid. That's a very fine line, and they walk it well. Chef Clint Connaway clearly has classical training--nobody just stumbles into a proper beurre blanc. The menu pulls from Southwestern, Native American, Mexican and French influences, which should feel chaotic but somehow doesn't. It works because the execution is consistent, even when the ideas get a little ambitious. That said, the place isn't perfect. The quail eggs show up so often they start to feel less like a signature and more like a habit. And for all the technical skill, there's a noticeable lack of local identity. With Bosque Ranch right down the road, it's hard not to wonder why more local beef isn't front and center. A stronger focus on seasonal or locally sourced ingredients would push this from great to something more grounded--something that actually tastes like where you are. And then there's the obvious question: why no brunch? A kitchen like this could absolutely dominate a brunch service. Instead, it's just... not happening, which feels like wasted potential. Still, none of that changes the core truth. The food is thoughtful, the technique is real, and most importantly you leave feeling satisfied instead of questioning your life choices. That alone is worth something.

I had the chicken fried steak with gravy & had enough left over for supper that evening. It was one of the best I've ever had.

The ambiance was noisy & crowded but did not overall affect the experience of an excellent meal. We will be back!

Apparently THIS is how you treat an 80 year old LOYAL customer who has spent countless thousands of dollars there over decades. Jim has been unwell for over a year, rarely leaving home, & unable to speak for the past 6 months; but still came there every single chance he felt well enough. And this text from you yesterday out of the blue is his reward? Being blasted for something he has NO clue what you're even rambling about, told to not come back & threatened??? You seriously threatened an elderly man - with what? Physical violence? Putting something in his food? That's disturbing whatever you meant. But don't worry tough guy - you didn't have to tell him not to come back...never giving you another dime. Great job representing R&K Cafe Hudson Oaks!!
