First time here. Was really hungry for chicken fried steak. This restaurant is in an old…read morerefurbished building off the square in downtown Gatesville. Very antique and vintage decor. We were greeted and immediately I asked Stephanie to tell us what they were known for. She said Chicken Fried Steak Yaa ! And hand battered onion rings.Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. Hubby got full plate and I opted for Chicken fried Sandwich and onion rings. Very flavorful and gravy was definitely homemade. Loved it all. My only remark is that the front entry is kinda dark and could use a ceiling fan. We will be back.

Their brisket is juicy. Their fries are awesome. The sausage is super dry though. I was hoping I'd…read morefind some good sausage

Ordered a catered meal for 11 from BB BBQ. The brisket order was wrong (chopped instead of…read moresliced). The chopped brisket was the worst bbq I've ever had. The was no taste difference between the regular and jalapeño sausage (again, worst I've ever had). The lack luster meat was compounded by receiving a peach cobbler that was cold and as dry as the desert. While the food experience was less than appetizing, the lack of service or give a damn from the staff was the most unpleasant experience. When the owner was contacted about the lack of service and poor food quality the owner yelled at my wife and called her greedy. This place used to be great. Dinner beware. I'll never step foot in this place again. If you're in Gatesville, Texas and are hungry, go anywhere else but Bare Bones!!! Too bad there isn't a zero star...

Over in the area for a country drive, did a quick Yelp check for a good Tex-Mex place for lunch…read more More than one review mentioned "locals like it", and we were sold. Plenty of parking, right off the main road, and more room inside than it appears. Waitress was on the job, excellent friendly service, was right there to take drink orders, and checked up on us throughout the meal. They were actually standing there waiting for us to sit with the chips and salsa. Definitely had the look of a local favorite, we were there after the lunch rush, I'm sure it's packed on weekend nights. All the food came out really fast, but was all fresh, tasty, and hit the spot. The menu had tons of variety, will take multiple visits to work through. That Texas staple, sweet tea, was especially good, had a lot of flavour served in large glasses. Would almost be worth stopping in during the summer just for some of the tea! Really nice space for a meal, and very friendly service!

Four kinds of salsa The verde and Diablo are fantastic but wait, if you mix them they are close to perfection! Such nice sweet waitstaff. They indulged my Spanish and so move to my daughter!

Then they tell me I am supposed to pay $1 for that? Uh, no. Asked them to remake them and they suddenly were out of Barbacoa to remake them. I guess they figured I'd pay for that extravagant cheese. I told them no thanks- seriously, when a $2 taco's price goes up $2 for a dab of beans and 7 strands of cheese? Bullshit. And no apology, no offer to try to fix anything, just "ok." Okaaay.
