Great spot for breakfast! I had the steak and eggs, and it was excellent. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the 6 oz steak had a really nice, rich aroma. The hash browns clearly tasted fresh--like they were cut that morning, not frozen or from a supplier bag. Everything had amazing flavor and gave me energy for the whole day. The waitress was very sweet and attentive, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place--let's support small businesses in America! read more

We were greeted with a "Come on in and grab a seat," which we did picking up menus on the way. The menu offers a variety, including the obvious steaks and burgers, but also Mexican favorites, salads and even breakfast choices. Our ribeye was amazing, marinated in spices and cooked to perfection. We chose the two included sides and ours were a loaded baked potato and string beans. Because we shared the 12 Oz steak, we added a side and chose grilled zucchini. All were grilled in real butter, except of course, the potato. And even though our amazing, cheerful server, Joey, assured us real butter in the grilling, the loaded potato's condiments were real sour cream, real bacon bits, chives and for some mysterious reason little butter/looking tubs of dreaded "vegetable" oil. When we mentioned this to Joey, she shared our surprise and immediately offered to replace the whole side, which we declined, simply scraping off the fluffy yellow, heart-damaging, pretend oil. Joey even checked with the chef before we had to ask about dessert options and was happy to report safe choices were all butter coconut cake and vanilla ice cream. We're not trying to be difficult, just healthy. And with servers like Joey, there's hope that people are becoming aware. In any case, with the exceptions mentioned, a good steakhouse like Mesquite Canyon is always a good bet for the health conscious. The restaurant isn't fancy, has a sunny back area for dining away from the darker bar area, and even offers some tasty local beer. read more

We drive by here at least twice a year and it always is consistently busy. We decided it was worth a try. They were open Labor Day. The waitress was super friendly and nice. Of course we had to order steak since it is a steakhouse. My husband ordered the ribeye, onion rings and baked potato. He was pleased overall with the meal. The steak had good flavor, the baked potato could have been warmer but it wasn't overdone or cold. The onion rings had a little too much batter though. My sirloin steak was also good. I ordered a salad and French fries. The salad was crisp and very tasty. My only complaint was the french fries were cold and not fresh. The restaurant had a nice homey atmosphere and was clean. It was a good experience! read more

Steak was gritty. I could not eat it. The mashed potatoes and corn was good. Server was nice. I still had to pay for the steak!

We went here for dessert after leaving another steakhouse tonight where the food was not as good and I didn't want to trust them for a dessert. We both got the same dessert: blackberry cobbler with ice cream. I also got a cup of coffee. The cobbler was very tasty, the coffee, flavorful, and the ice cream well, it was ice cream. The service was good, the waitress was prompt and polite and checked on us several times. The atmosphere was exactly what I expected. Overall, I was not disappointed in the food or the service at this location. read more

Absolutely love the place great food large portions and very reasonable prices. I have never seen the wait staff hassle like they did here. In addition they remained attentive and courteous to us as well. If I ever end up stopping again in Shamrock I will definitely eat with them again and you should too! read more

The food took FOREVER to come, like they had to catch the cow and slaughter it before cooking. Our server never came to check on us until the restaurant was nearly empty. The other tables seemed to get their food before us. The other guests were very friendly. The restaurant appears to be like a ranch. Nice, sort of clean. It feels like cattlemen come in all the time read more

NEW OWNERS. Great zucchini, chicken strips, gravy, chicken fried steaks and Melissa making the cream pies so they are perfection!! Burgers and sandwiches are great too. Friendly service and good food. Texas atmosphere, clean and welcoming. read more

Stopped 3 years ago while traveling and was very impressed. Tonight. Not so much. Food lacked flavor.

My favorites are chicken fried steak, fried catfish and fried shrimp....oh don't forget the best chicken fingers in the county ! read more

Mesquite Canyon Steakhouse - American Near Me - Shamrock, Texas

My friend and I stopped here on our way to AZ in 2024, and returned in 2025. The food is good quality and the service is great I would rate Mesquite Canyon a good find for the tiny town of Shamrock, TX! read more

From the start this establishment served up one of my pet peeves...no sign to let you know to seat yourself or wait to be seated. I guessed and seated myself. After about 12 minutes the one and only server they have took my drink order and after 5 minutes returned with it. I thought she would take my order at this time but I was wrong. After 5 more minutes she reappeared and got my order. I ordered a small chicken fried steak and pinto beans. After an additional 12 minutes she returned to my table with the CFS and mash potatoes. When she got close enough to my table that I could get her attention without yelling I let her know about the missing beans. A few minutes later they were delivered. I have eaten CFS at many establishments but I have never seen one as thin as this one. I didn't give up on it till my first bite. If you like the taste of anything fried in grease that should have been change long ago you have found paradise. The beans were canned and the cook made no attempt to dress them up at all. If you find this establishment in Shamrock Texas d yourself a favor and keep driving. read more

Bad idea when we were hungry. Hmm why else would you go out to eat. took almost A hour last Saturday . 9 20 2025 1130 to 12 20 to get the food. I got up to pay leaving the table of 6. there was no way I was leaving any tip. but my daughter tossed out a 20 . the waitress was great. maybe need to promote her to head cook. or ditch the George Forman single burger cooker back there. we ate all the crackers waiting for the food. Last chance to serve us. unless big sign under new ownership. read more

10/10 good service & fresh food. Came out hot. Nice view in the back. Would come back again if I ever visit shamrock. read more

The waitress was great. The food needs a LOT of improvement. The hot sauce was rancid. The waitress tasted it also and threw it out. Enchiladas were some conglomeration rolled into a tortilla, not impressed. Maybe it was a the rancid, rotted and old hot sauce that ruined my opinion or it could have been all the food. Not much meal offerings in Shamrock but I'd suggest Hasty Burger anytime you stop in that town. read more

Wife's steak was overcooked. Came out like shoeleather. My steak was fine. was there around 4:30 and there was only one couple in there, so the kitchen was not busy. Typical western decor inside. read more

Mesquite Canyon Steakhouse - Nice little steakhouse north of the I-40. - American Near Me - Shamrock, Texas

It has become a good overall place to eat. Nothing fancy just good. We like to go there for breakfast. We like the Hamburgers and fries. The catfish dinner is very good, just add more hushpuppies. The fajitas are always good. The Chicken strips seem to be a local favorite. The chicken fried steak is a winner as well. Overall there will be something to your liking at Mesquite Canyon. read more

It was closed when we stopped by on Christmas Eve, quite disappointed. 3 star because I feel bad if I gave anything less than that.

This Steakhouse in Shamrock, TX was a surprise. Hubs had a crispy chicken fried steak that was tender and had that beefy Texas meat flavor. The home made white gravy topped off the CFS perfectly. My small sirloin was prepared exactly as ordered and was tender, juicy and flavorful. Texas beef on both entrees were delicious. Our server was attentive and West Texas friendly. It was a great find in a small town. read more

First day of restaurants opening yayy!!! We stopped here on our way to do some hiking at Palo Duro. It was highly rated and the other option we considered was closed. The place is super cute and our waitress was friendly. It was clean with clean restrooms. We sat in the room with the view and ordered two burgers and the Texas toothpicks. The toothpicks were both jalapeños and onions and overly fried. Neither tasted like anything but fried breading:((. I got the jalapeño burger and it was ok. Definitely NOT my Nics or Tucker's. Just no taste really. The tater tots were obviously froze. From a bag. The BF liked his green Chile burger and his fries were yummy! read more

An oasis in the Texas panhandle. We were traveling through on vacation and did not want fast food. This is not your white linen fancy place with an extensive wine list. It's just a local place that does its' best to serve good food. My wife had the steak and loved it. I had the shrimp and it was good. Reading other reviews, I wish I tried the chicken fried steak. Place was clean. Staff and other customers were friendly. Just a nice place to stop for eats. read more

We are strangers in town. This was the only place open and we wanted steak. We ordered two rib eyes. Steak and baked potato were OK, not great. Usually with steak you are offered A-1 sauce, we were not. Usually you are offered butter, we were not. I got up, went to kitchen and asked for butter and A-1. We were not offered a refill on our water glasses. When I went to pay the bill, I explained to the server, who was also the cashier that I was only going to give her a five dollar tip, because of the bad service. I said that I would ordinarily give of $15-20 for a meal that size. She told me that she did not care what I tipped her, and I could tip her nothing for all she cared. She got nothing. read more

Food was good but the covid precautions were a joke. No face masks. People jammed together even just waiting for take-out. I don't mind that some people don't care to take precautions but I'd like to at least be respected when I do. I was just passing through town and it was an ok choice for a night, but I wouldn't go back until things settle down a lot more. read more

The food eas great - save room for dessert. We are traveling with our dog and they were very accommodating for her to join us at our table in her enclosed stroller. read more

Traveling along interstate 40. Found this place on yelp. Had four stars. As we entered the restaurant the patriots had to let us know we could see it ourselves because no one was able to greet us. I ordered the fajita plate. Absolutely the worst fajitas I've ever had in my life. After waiting 40 minutes for our food. The bottom of the meat was a good eighth of an inch chard and burnt. The top of the meat was raw. All of the sides were cold. Never offered a refill on our drinks. And what appeared to be the hostess was absolutely rude! Save yourself the trouble and don't stop here. read more

Mesquite Canyon Steakhouse - Outside - American Near Me - Shamrock, Texas

It took 15 minutes for drinks and an additional 15 to get our drinks and our order taken. And over an hour and a half for our actual food to come out. It seems if you are not a local your food will be put off for a while. Plus, one of our plates of food was barely warm. read more

Stopped by when driving through on the I-40 on my way to AZ. It smelled amazing when we pulled up and got out of the car but it had absolutely no smell on the inside. What happened to the wonderful smell of cooking steak? I was very confused but we sat down and tucked into some grub. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. It definitely beat hitting up the nearby Taco Bell, but it just wasn't super memorable. So would I swing by on my way through town? Yes. Would I go out of my way? M'eh. read more

Small local business. I'm sure they're doing their best under the circumstances. Stopped in after viewing the Chevron building from Cars. Refried beans were not only canned but had a black tinge to them. If you're local and love it great! Just not for this out-of-towner. read more

Fajitas are great here and the chicken salad! The back patio has a nice view while enjoy lunch or dinner. Can't go wrong with several of the food options! read more

Very good home cooking. Highly recommend the chicken fry steak. Good service and nice view in the back

Steak cooked perfectly. salad great. Service great. A great find as I traveled through Shamrock.

Was traveling & looking for a decent meal. Saw the earlier ratings & left the highway. Not many folks there at 6'ish & wondered if we messed up . The crowd arrived while we were eating. Tried the canyon special of chicken fried steak. Hand breaded sirloin vs the frozen varieties frequently served. Milk gravy could have been a bit pepperyier. Catfish was not overcooked. Generous portions with 2 comfort food sides included. Really pleasant staff and a favorite it appears with the locals. read more

My family lives in town and every time I come to visit we end up at this place. For some reason they like it. Most of the time the food is just so so. This last time it was down right disgusting. I figured I would make it easy and just get the chicken fingers and steak fries. First the menu said you get 4 chicken fingers and I only got 2. Then the chick was over cooked and rubbery. Not only was the chicken fingers over cooked, but the steak fries were burnt. They were also not seasoned at all. Good thing I only come to town every couple years so I do not have to be subjected to this torture that often. Next visit if my family wants to go there I'm just gonna pass and go to McDonalds instead. read more

Food is amazing and service is very good and very clean I love this place no matter if it's 10min before they close they will still serve u withvand smile read more

Amazing customer service and the food was incredible. Very attentive hostess and short wait for food. Only downside is that Yelp cannot find the place. They have it wrong, but trust me it is worth the search. read more

Mmmm me likie Stopped in for a steak and it was delish. I ordered the ribeye medium after reading their cooking list.. and it was med/rare, just the way I like it. Got the baked potato and beans for sides. Sour cream comes in an individual condiment packet which worked fine- just a heads up. My man loved his country fried steak and fried okra. It's has a comfy local feel, not fast food (took a while for our meals) but overall we left happy and it satisfied my desire for a Texas Steak meal. Our server was attentive and we enjoyed her Southern hospitality. read more

We were traveling so thought burgers would be faster to order. I requested the green Chile burger with onion rings. Onion rings were a nice sized portion and hand battered. Burger was a bit disappointing as it was supposed to come with pepper Jack cheese but had American cheese. I would have preferred the green chilies had a little kick. On a heat scale of 1-10 A rating of 1 would be pushing it. The bottom bun was soggy. Why places don't toast the bottom bun I don't know. You won't have to ask where's the beef Food was good overall but plan on waiting a while to get your food and check. read more

Gem right off I-40. Clean, friendly service and great food. The burgers are fresh and the country fried steak was very, very good. Cute decor. All around great place. Wish we had a restaurant like this where we live. read more
