Escargot Stuffed Mushrooms- a bit tiny, but packed with buttery goodness. Entrees: A5 Wagyu Flat Iron- this was a special and it wasn't tender enough to cut with just a fork like I've experienced, but still pretty tender and very juicy. Seasoned perfect to eat by itself, but it came with 4 different restaurant-made steak sauces. Mesquite Smoked Short Ribs- very tender and can be torn to shreds with a fork. Comes with mash potatoes and gravy and some crispy noodles for texture. Very flavorful. Sides: Maple Bacon Pecan Brussel Sprouts- very delicious and flavorful. Smoked Mashed Potatoes- very thick and smokey, but delicious. Definitely need some water lol. Poblano Creamed Corn- my wife liked this, but I didn't care for that creamy corn texture lol. Dessert: Marie Antoinette Cake- chocolate mousse cake that was perfectly rich with some kind of raspberry or berry drizzle. Also came with these super delicious alcoholic infused strawberries that paired super well. Overall, it was a pricey dinner, but not as pricey as I thought. Definitely had a great time and worth the price and experience. The restaurant ambience was dim and cabin-like setting with lots of beautiful decor. Our waiter, Gabriel was super friendly and helpful. He recommended a lot of our dishes tonight. Lots of parking and they also offer complimentary valet services.

The $64 Heartbrand Texas Akaushi NY Strip came out medium-rare mush, not a strip, clearly sous vide and barely finished: no crust, waxy unrendered fat, and that sour vacuum-bag tang wet-aged beef gets when it never sees real heat. Heartbrand Akaushi is the marquee of this menu, and it didn't resemble a strip & ate like deli roast beef. Sous vide is boiling in a bag-- a strip lives on its sear, and this one never got one. Great staff, special night, disappointing steak.

We walked and asked the first waitress if she could please clean a booth for us. We stood there for 5 minutes and we were ignored. We finally sat at another table, and the second waitress gave us a menu. We then observed whay appeared to be a local family requesting the same booth. They were immediately helped and were sat down. We finally had the third waitress take our order. The third waitress never came back to our table. We told the second waitress that we needed to pay, but didn't have a ticket. She along with the third waitress wrote our order on there pads,but neither one gave me out meal ticket. I then went to pay and I told the first waitress what we ate and I paid with a credit card and got a receipt. I walked out with my grandson in my arms and my wife walked along side of me with her cane. The second waitress, Hispanic and heavy set ran outside and accused me in front of my grandson and wife, that I failed to pay my meal ticket. I was appalled and humiliated. We went back inside and I asked the third waitress who I paid, if I had paid my bill. She replied, "Yes sir." I turned around and walked out because I was disgusted with the second waitress who had accused me on "skipping out on my bill." In all of my years I've never had anyone as rude and obnoxious as this waitress. We drove from Houston because it appeared to a nice country restaurant . Well, safe your money and go some place else where they respect the elders, especially when are accused of running out to avoid paying a bill while carrying a baby and an another elder with a cane.

I'm salivating just thinking about that steak butter and the perfect char. The calamari was light and crispy with a sweet pepper sauce drizzled on top.

So, that said, a recent visit to De Baca was a better experience. Yes, like at most steak-centric restaurants, a meal here is not free. But De Baca delivered the goods, from the ahi tuna appetizer to an excellent filet and delicious sides, all executed as one would expect from an establishment at this level. Our server Aspen did a great job ensuring we were taken care of, without hovering. Despite being on the edge of summer, we enjoyed a nice meal outside, but the inside dining area is also nice, without being too clubby. If a steakhouse is your vibe, De Baca is worth a visit.

My go to is always a Filet & don't mind spending money for a great steak. The filet seemed to be a lil higher priced than I've seen but I'm always willing to try it. The filet was cooked perfect ( medium rare) but honestly lacked any flavor. Now I know it's hard to appease everyone however I wish my effort was put into the seasoning. Speaking of flavor, the green beans were bland as can be. I mean how hard is it to cut up some bacon & season them up. I'm sure mgmt is stuck in their ways & "if it's not broken, don't fix it" but it's 2026 & there are lots of options out there. Unfortunately I won't be back simply to the flavor of the food. However I can't bring myself to bash a business, so that is how I came up to my 4 star review. Hopefully mgmt sees this & changes up their flavor / cooking style some, instead of being "average".

Never expected myself to drive two hours for some ribeye steak, but it was worth the experience. We…read morerandomly scrolled on YouTube and watched someone rated this THE BEST in Texas so we had to check it out. What makes this place unique is that they use charcoal, have make their own rub, you can order as many ounces up to 32oz I believe, and they only sell ribeye steaks. The place is called the general store because that's what it used to be when first started doing business in the 1980s but later expanded and converted into a steakhouse. We got there at 4pm and there was a little bit of a line already. The restaurant is only open three days a week each day from 5:30 to 9. On Thursday they have fried catfish and Friday and Saturday they sell only steak. The minimum order starts at 10oz and each ounce increment is a little bit extra charge. We ordered the 24 ounce to be shared between the two of us total is about $70 and we still have some leftover. The charcoal flavor was not overpowering, but the seasoning of the steak was perfectly balanced. Usually, I eat my steak with extra pepper or chimichurri, but this one I was able to eat without any extra seasoning. The surface of the steak look heavily seared but the medium interior was really juicy and succulent. I could taste more char on the edge pieces. After the steak we headed to their second shop next door for some malt shake. I got the cookies n creame flavor, it was milky and not overly sweet like any other milkshakes. And the malt flavor lingers on the tongue after each sip. I was debating to get another one but chocolate flavor but I was too full. Service there overall was very welcoming, and dining area is really big, the interior feels like an old western cabin but very clean and spacious. Great for family gatherings too. They also have a BYOB offer for people who love some good sips along with the smokey steak.
