The stars of this stop were the Matcha latte and Coffee latte. They use coffee from Big Bend roaster. I ordered it with whole milk and no sweetener and it was rich, smooth and perfect. For the matcha latte they use Matcha Love powder. This latte was exceptional! Silky smooth, dreamy consistency and perfect. Definitely stop for the drinks! Service was friendly, prompt and wished us safe travels.

My husband ordered a beer and I got a spicy mango margarita. Do yourself a favor and order the above. It was wonderful. The steak was simple and perfect.

Service was not great but I don't mind going to the bar for a drink. Love the hotel and pass through here often but if you eat at the restaurant stick to the burger and fries.

Van horn was somewhat midway from phx to San Antonio, stopped at hotel and decided on dinner here…read more It was a Saturday, so busy, small wait for a table to be expected. It seems this is one of the only restaurants to get a steak, read some reviews. Here is my take: 1. Service was very good 2. Steak prices are marked as " market price" for every steak from rib eye through sirlion. 3. My wife had the filet 35.00I had the sirlion 29.00 my steak was a little tough. My wife's steak texture was so thing you would get at a cheap grocery store, for a tenderloin at 35 bucks, I expect it to be decent, not at all 4. The sides were good asparagus, green beans, smashed potatoes 5 Overall, 3 stars at Best will not be back for steak here 4.

I just wanted the pasta, but it came with some overcooked boneless/skinless chicken breast. I just ate the pasta and part of the wife's tasty steak. We will probably be back.

Fantastic Drive-Thru Experience at Alpine Dairy Queen!…read more We had such a great experience at the Dairy Queen drive-thru in Alpine today! We ordered two mini Blizzards - a Heath Bar and a chocolate with dipping chocolate blended in - and everything was perfect. The best part was Jeannie, who took our order. She was incredibly smiley and friendly, and she made sure our order was exactly right. Her excellent service really made our day. We'll definitely be back!

Nice little cafe…read more Enroute back from Big Bend to El Paso, you will most likely pass the unassuming town of Van Horn. If you're in a mood for a bite, be confident that the food and service at Broadway Cafe is pretty darn good. It's not a big space, but the cafe next to the Laundromat is clean and simple. I ordered the combination plate that came with a side taco (ground beef), choice if enchilada, rice, refried beans, and pork green chile. It was very good Liz enjoyed her enchilada plate - the enchiladas have a cheesy hatch flavor. Noah had a kids taco plate which as almost as big as my combination plate. Noemi had a bean and cheese burrito. The service was good and friendly. If you pass through VH, then consider Broadway Cafe.

We did pick other items but it didn't start good. I got the chili rellenos which were house made with a good flavor while Bobbie got a beef burrito also good flavor but a bit dry so she added salsa to it which helped. The service was good and prompt so that was good. Inside is smallish but well kept and clean. Overall it was good but not sure where all the 5 star ratings came from.

The most ridiculous priced drinks in Texas. Not long ago this place was great & probably because…read morethe drinks were half the price they are now.

We were looking for a nice place to have dinner while staying in Alpine, TX. This fit the bill!…read more The restaurant is in a yellow house with an "R" at the top. There was an American Flag and a Texas flag flying out front. We walked in and waited for someone to greet us and seat us. After we were at our table, drink orders were taken. When our water was brought out, we were also given some Honey Pecan Biscuits with butter. They were warm and I liked the pecans in it! Hubby & I shared everything. We started with a cup of Jalapeño and Cilantro Soup. It's a cream based soup. I couldn't detect much of any heat from the Jalapeños and the cilantro was pretty much hidden. Maybe a sprinkling of fresh cilantro on top would have made it more pronounced. It also needed to be served hot. We then got the 14oz Ribeye which came with mashed potatoes & green beans. This was a great plate of food! It came out hot! The person who brought it out waited until we cut into it to see if it was acceptable. We've never had any staff person do that for us before! It was a little under done on one side, but the other was perfect. We almost finished the plate. It was delicious! Lastly, we got the Chocolate Bread Pudding Tamale. It comes wrapped in a corn husk that it is cooked in. You remove it and eat the bread pudding. It was gummy in a good way, as hubby described it. It needed the fresh strawberries & ice cream that came on the plate. We really enjoyed our dinner! Our server, Jordan, was very efficient & made it a nice experience! We probably won't travel this way again, but if we did, we would definitely return!

I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and the smoked quail. The soup was served with the garnishes in the bowl and the broth poured from a kettle at the table, which was a fun presentation.

If you're in Alpine or passing through (like I was on the way back from Big Bend NP), this is a great place to stop and grab a meal.
