    Great local place not too far from the highway. Fresh food, thorough and quick service. We had the…read morepotosino nachos and the potosino plate. High quality chips and tortillas, with tasty steak and garnishes. We will stop again!

    This one is a solid 3.8, with potential for more…read more I let Liz pick lunch in Ozona, and on a Sunday afternoon, she picked a very unassuming Destiny's Grill. Though small and quiet, this little grill puts out really good food. My daughter kept it simple with a dry cheeseburger. It comes with a side of fries that are cooked fresh, but maybe needed some time to breathe or dash a little bit of salt. The burger was cooked really well though. Noah enjoyed his carne asada tacos. Liz ordered the Potosino nachos, which were like a loaded nachos. Loaded means it came with beans, grill d tomato and jalapeno, thin slices of skirt steak, and cheese. It looked good, and I grabbed a few at the begining. I really enjoyed my Potosino plate. It was the same thing slices of skirt steak, grilled onion, jalapeno, and tomato that was on the nachos, but my plate came with Spanish and refried beans. (Same as Noah's kid taco plate). So, why the 3? It's a small place, and the dining area can be overwhelmed by a rush. Though the folks that knew were just getting food to go. There's about 7 tables/booths for 4 each, and it got crowded right after we sat down and ordered. Hey, if I can't get my coffee refilled without asking, well... Overall, I did enjoy the food. The place was clean and comfortable. It was the lack of speedy service was on no way a deal killer, but when you're on the EP to SA road trip time management can matter. Check it out if you're stopping in Ozona.

    I held very high expectations for this establishment, because of all the amazing reviews. But after…read morefurther consideration I definitely should have lowered my expectations.... My daughter had projectile vomiting because of these greasy french fries!!!! The service was poor and lacked pronouncing my pronouns correctly, my table had a singular stick of butter melted onto the seat that my poor daughter was sitting after vomiting; the ambiance of the restaurant was gross, disturbing, and weirdly quiet..... Jojo I hope you learn from this bobo experience! #dobetter

    Ok! Don't be deceived by how the outside of this restaurant looks because it is hands-down…read moredelicious! First of all, let me just say that Dawn, the owner, and her son, Curtis (the chef) have a totally charming place inside and I had one of the best burgers EVER! I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered the child's size hamburger and fries, and it was just right! They even added all the fixin's for me! Plus! You know when you have a hankerin' for a cold Dr. Pepper on ice? Well, this one was a PERFECT mix of the syrup and fizz! My husband had the patty melt on rye (comes with mozzarella instead of Swiss) and he said it was A+, too. Btw, Dawn named the restaurant JoJo's because of her pet monkey of the same name, and his picture is everywhere. Plus I had the joy of talking to 6 year old Emily about mermaids. If I ever pass through El Dorado again, I will definitely stop here again. Home cooking at it's yummiest!

    This little spot is actually so nice for a drop in if you want brunch food. We stopped here to eat…read morewhile on a road trip since it was one of the only sit down places I could find in the area that had things like eggs, bacon and pancakes etc - and we were not disappointed! I had a plate of French toast, my dad had a breakfast burrito, and my mom had pancakes and a side of eggs and bacon. The prices were all very reasonable, and our waitress was very attentive and sweet. There are absolutely immaculate bathrooms inside as well, which are between the shop and restaurant part of the building. Tons of parking outside too, it's a dirt lot.

Nestled in what Im assuming is a feed yard it has a small store with the kitchen/dining area located in the back. Super friendly service from the Cook/waitress/hostess....Few locals hanging out...always a good sign....Food took a bit to come out, but we were in No hurry...Food was Hot and fresh...Wife had the 2 Egg Plate with Bacon and Taters and I had the loaded Scramble....Everything was fantastic......and was exactly what we need for the hundreds of miles ahead of us.

    Coming from LA, I last minute decided to visit my boyfriend because he is here to play baseball…read moreagainst the rockhounds. I was worried we wouldn't have any fun date spots but let me tell YOU. This spot was amazing 10/10 will miss this food leaving more than anything. If they catered weddings we'd hire them. We had Alejandro and their manager was soso kind. If you are here as a resident or a visitor this is a MUST. We came back twice in one day like psycho paths. All food was to die for and their staff was phenomenal!! THIS IS A MUST!!

    Saint Blaise is a fantastic choice for a more formal brunch, lunch, or dinner in Midland, TX…read more MISSED MARK Getting the cons out of the way... The reason it missed the 5-star mark with me was our waitress was slow to do everything. Even with taking our drink order. Then our food order. The worst was waiting for my final bill. And then she forgot our takeout box for my youngest. I don't know why she didn't have a greater sense of responsiveness with our party of 3, but it was like this the entire duration of our meal on July 25, 2026. It was super frustrating! The other reason I knocked off a star off was because the towel dispenser was depleted in the lone restroom. I had to flag down an employee with drenched hands. THE PROS I called about 20 minutes ahead of time to reserve a table because I knew this brassiere was on the small side. The lady on the phone was courteous and professional. If you have a hot date, I highly recommend reservations particularly in the evening. This seems like that sort of place. When we arrived, I found free street parking a short walk away. We were promptly greeted and seated. To enter the restaurant, you must go inside the Frost Bank tower's lobby, but to exit there is a door just beyond the bar. This place has beautiful, eclectic decor. The bar area was somewhat rounded and has an easygoing, but classy feel to it. THE FOOD The ambiance is what made this a great mother/daughters brunch date. The food sets it apart from the majority of restaurants in this oil industry town. The have East Coast-sourced oysters on the menu! These are far superior to their West Coast counterparts. I would have opted for these for our app if it weren't for my minions, I mean children. Pigs in a Blanket ($15.00) - yet another appetizer my daughters pigged out on that I didn't get to try. And they said they weren't that hungry! Lies all lies. They looked divine with nicely cooked juicy sausage and everything seasoning on the pastries. Avo Toast ($11.50) - my newly-turned teen daughter and I both had our own. I opted for eggs over easy which were cooked nicely. She oddly chose scrambled eggs for her, but she ate pretty much all of it. Smashed Burger ($17) - my youngest had this and said it was excellent. Nice touch with an American flag planted into the top bun. For the umpteenth time she did not share a fry with me. It is what it is. Mocha latte ($5.00) - my youngest's birthday which I will be missing since she'll be visiting her father is coming up so this was a treat for her. I tried it. Quite good after being thoroughly stirred. 1988 Martini ($18) - pricey but oh so good. The olives stuffed with bleu cheese were not bad. I had to try it even though the thought of bleu cheese kind of turned me off. Lol. Will I return? Of course because I have faith it will be 5 stars next time. Look at the other raving reviews! RATING BREAKDOWN (4 stars overall) Food: 5 | Service: 3 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4
