    Huge steak portion.
    Tammy C.

    My daughter and her family use to live in the area and when I would visit we would come here at least one's while I was in. It has been awhile but I was working in the area and it's one, if not the only, place open on Sunday. What I remember the most is service and KC steaks are great. I was not disappointed. In fact, other than needing a little more salt, I think the steak was better. It was cooked perfect so juicy and omg the portion size. I can eat on this the rest of the week. I sit at the bar because I know it can get busy and I hate taking up a table because I like to take my time. The young lady working behind the bar was also working the floor. She was still fabulous. Her Name was Kelsey and good at her job for sure. The only complaint is the salad bar. It's very skimpy with limited choices so it needs to look appealing and it was a wreck. It wasn't super busy at the time either. I didn't dock a star because the jalapeño ranch made up for it.

    So, me, Glenda, and Susan next door did the shopping thing in Ballinger. I had my heart set on Beefmasters steakhouse, but I got outvoted. Glenda and Susan wanted Lowake. We grabbed a table and ordered KC for three. Lots of meat! The salad bar Is still good and I LOVE the jalapeño ranch dressing. We pigged out and still had a ton of meat left over. Prices have sure gone up, but that's true everywhere. If your ever out in the middle of West Texas nowhere, Lowake is the place to eat! Chow time!

    Lowake Steak House has been serving steaks since 1951. They boast themselves as the best steak you'll ever eat. While they have a decent steak, it is no where close to being the best. The steaks are tender and cooked well; however lack any seasoning. They are pan seared so no grill marks or flavoring from being cooked on a grill. Even a flavorful seasoned butter melted on top would add a great bit of flavor, unfortunately, there wasn't any of that either. The baked potatoes were overcooked. Salad bar was self serve and mediocre. The sourdough rolls were good. We arrived at the first part of the dinner crowd and were seated by the hostess that apparently forgot to tell the assigned waitress that we were there. So several tables in our area sat for 20-30 minutes without being waited on and at this time the restaurant wasn't busy., When they finally realized we were there and waiting , some of the last tables to arrive were waited on before those of us that had been waiting the longest. Once our orders were taken, the food was quick to come out and I noticed as the restaurant got busier, the kitchen continued to be fast on getting food out. Overall, it was a decent meal, but probably would make the drive back out to the restaurant, mostly due to the lack of flavor of the steak, especially for a $40 steak. The steak dinner was mediocre at best. The quality of the steak is on point, so with the appropriate flavor, it could be one of the best steaks with a little effort. The restaurant was large, spacious and had cute decorations around, but could be loud if the restaurant is completely full. It's not what I would call an intimate experience. They did have an arcade alley for kids.

The cabin gives you all the space and amenities of home and is perfect for a couples' getaway or for the entire family. The bunk house brings a fun, outdoorsy vibe that is perfect for hunting trips or just hanging out with a large group. And the newest addition, the Cactus Hotel, can be a mixture of both! You have the option of renting one room at a time or the whole thing, depending on how large of a group you have. Each has its own bathroom and access to the common living area (which is super cozy and great for just hanging out- we escaped a rainstorm in here our first night!) I can't say enough nice things about The Ranch. Leah and Don are the most incredible hosts and will make sure you enjoy your time here, whatever the occasion. I'm already planning my next girls trip! Give this awesome family business a try!

The Chaparrel Ranch is great place to get away, enjoy an evening of fireside chats with family and friends or romantic evening for two. The Chaparrel Ranch has free range chickens and ducks as well as a pen of goats. You may also encounter the steer that roam the surrounding pastures. Wildlife such as, deer, hawks, road runners, and quail abound the ranch. I have never seen such a big beautiful star filled night sky! Leah- thank you for an unforgettable experience.
