Delicious. Great food. Good service. Friendly, generous portions. Take a break from West Texas sun, have an ice tea and dig into some homemade goodness. read more

Steak House Restaurant - Finish the plate ;) - Mexican Near Me - Fort Stockton, Texas

I decided to give this place a try. I was told they have good chicken fried steaks. The service was quick and we went in about 5:15pm the place wasn't that busy. They did have specials but unfortunately they didn't honor them. We asked for two chicken fried steaks which were early bird specials Monday thru Friday. We also had the queso and chips with came with a side of salsa. The queso was nice and cheesy and the salsa had some nice heat to it. The chicken fried steaks were small and to thin, it was served upside down on a bed of white gravy. The plate came with a side salad and we ordered the mashed potatoes. The salad was fairly small in my opinion. The plate which should have been $10.99 ended up being $15. In this case the food was not worth the money. Portions are small. I did however liked the queso, salsa, chips and chicharrones are a nice touch. The sweet tea is really good. read more

Good food and even better service. Enjoyed the western omelette. Suggest stopping by for a good meal.

Always friendly and great customer service with good, hot food with decent prices. Welcoming, quiet atmosphere.

Great Breakfast to start your day in Ft Stockton! Good service good people, burrito is massive and so is the cinnamon roll.

service and food were both absolutely AHHHHMAZING! The restaurant was super clean and had lovely country music playing! Coming from Wa state the food was like nothing we've ever had and our server was so kind and on top of it! we will definitely come back and also rave about this place! read more

Good service and food! Nice ambiance. was passing throug town and decided to try. glad we stopped

Great service. The waitress was very helpful and kettle the coffee full. The food was just right.

The best homemade food in town. Breakfast tasted amazing and the Ribeye steak just melts in your mouth! The bacon does not taste store bought! read more

I have been here many times. I have read the other reviews. I don't get it. This is an "old school wonderful" restaurant in Fort Stockton. The food is consistently great, period. It does not matter what I have, it is always tasty and prepared well. Today I had the shrimp and the other in my party had the chicken fried steak. Both dishes were prepared well and they tasted good. Are you looking for your plate to look like it was prepared by a French chef? This is not the place. Are you looking for good food at a fair price? This IS the place. The inside is old, yes...just like the rest of the buildings in the town. Lovely murals with Fort Stockton history are painted all over the inside--and they are freshly updated. Make sure your kids pick out all the road runners hidden in them. It's a Fort Stockton thing! Don't believe the naysayers...this is good food. This is good value. Service is usually good--but these days you get what you get. Be happy you have a server and that they are polite to you! A great stop off the highway--or at least it is for us all the time! read more

A great find! We had a super breakfast, great service, and spotless. Apparently just changed ownership a year ago!

Great Food and great service. We had the rib eye steak and Caesar salad. Compliments to the chef The bar Tender wasn't very cordial. My gin and tonic had no seltzer in the tonic. Had to send it back. Sorry read more

I'm not certain what the neg-rep folks on here were expecting. This is NOT an upscale, celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsey restaurant. It is a cafe, run by locals, serving locals, who want a good value. Their daily specials are just that, a very good value. I've had their catfish on Fridays, and their breakfasts, and I've never felt like I was getting screwed. Is the building old? Hell, yes, just like most of Fort Stockton. (The town is 150 years old, BTW.) If you can't handle a local diner with reasonably priced food, then please stay in NYC. (We don't even have a Starbucks in Fort Stockton, so I don't know why you would expect The Ritz as a dining option out here.) read more

Was looking for somewhere to eat after my trip from California on my way to Houston, and this place popped on my phone. It looks like a family own nor sure, but the personal there seem to know almost everyone walking in, which gives it a homelike vibe. The macaroni tomato soup was delicious. I got two plates. The place itself is a little outdated from the outside, but don't let that fool you. That's usually how it is up there. Prices are fare. The most expensive thing is the stake, but nothing outrageous. It was good as well, so most definitely would pay for it. Try to pay in cash. Otherwise, their debt card system is super slow. Overall, I will go back. read more

Great breakfast. Service was fast and very friendly. Love the murals. Feels very West Texas.

I was driving through town and was really wanting a steak. I saw steak written on the outside of the building and decided to stop. This place may not be the most beautiful on the street but it is very clean and the food is to die for. My steak (8 oz ribeye) was cooked and flavored to perfection. Steak sauce would have ruined it. My baked potato was baked, fluffy and the perfect temperature. They had real butter and real cheddar cheese. My salad was cold and crisp. Just when I thought I was done I was offered dessert. I don't know what these things are called on the menu but they should be called sweet, yummy buns from heaven. Huge with pecans. These things are special and made with love. They can put Cinnabon out of business. The staff were kind and helpful. The whole experience was a delight for me. read more

The steak fingers are the thing to get! Trust me. I'm more of a chicken tender girl, but the steak fingers with brown gravy is where it's at. This place is a tad pricey, but oh so worth it. read more

Food was fresh and delicious. Great service, friendly waitstaff a must visit. Highly recommended

We were traveling across Texas and stopped in Fort Stockton overnight. When we looked for a place to go for breakfast this restaurant was recommended to us by the lady at the hotel. It was a tremendously good recommendation! When I asked the waitress to make a special dish for me with tomatoes and chorizo and eggs and beans she said no problem and the food came out quickly and tasted wonderful! I would go out of my way to stop here again when traveling. read more

First, in a desert town, they really should sell beer. They don't. They did let me bring my own in. The place seems to be operated by teenagers and the young chef may need more experience. Presentation and inspiration are a little on the short side. We tried a variety of dishes. My nephew, fittingly, ordered the biggest steak they had and he was happy with it. I'm not sure if it was the best steak he'd ever had, but he ate it all. My baked fish was ungarnished, but healthy and fairly tasty. My brother said that his enchiladas were salty. He did not care for them. The salad bar is small and not fancy, no arugula, kale or artichoke hearts like in the big city. But, it was pretty good and healthy. I would go back, but I might not take Anthony Bourdain with me. read more

We came to this place to celebrate anniversary, and never again anything we ordered they were out of stock. The prices change, not worth it.

I can't talk about anything but breakfast, on our way to Big Bend and stopped in here. Did not have any expectations cause we just wanted a quick meal! I am a very picky eater and I had the huevo rancheros and oh my they were good! Husband got the western omelette and it was perfectly cooked! Oh and the coffee was really good too! read more

Much better options than this in Fort Stockton. Restaurant doesn't look great from outside and inside isn't much better. A club sandwich is bacon and cheese on toast. Also pretty pricey for the quality. It was fast though. read more

-nobody there -one waiter working the whole floor -not very informed -steaks overpriced -you can get a lot of the same food at a high school football game. -it was the only place open on Christmas Eve. read more

OK for a roadside stop if you're passing through, but not worth seeking out. Restaurant has no windows, giving the dining area a dark, gloomy and dated feel. Despite the restaurant name, most of the items on the menu are Tex-Mex. I ordered the cheese enchiladas with verde sauce. The food was pale in color and served on a beige cafeteria-style plate. A simple garnish such as diced tomatoes might have made the plate a bit more lively. The enchiladas actually weren't bad - although either the verde sauce or appearance gave them a "bland" vibe. My companion ordered the tacos, which were dreadful. The shells tasted like they had gone stale and had been re-fried to try to revive them... unsuccessful. Maybe we should have ordered the steaks. At least the prices were reasonable, and the food came with friendly, efficient West Texas service. read more

When I'm on the road, I don't like going to a chain since I think a local establishment should be tried first. Wish I went to a chain. This place was old and not clean. I love a good dive and know a good one when I eat there. This wasn't one. Your child could cook a better meal. Try another place; don't be fool by some of the not so bad reviews. My guess is that they are locals and there just isn't many good places in this town. read more

Fort Stockton, as a town, has had its share of ups and downs, a fact reflected in that it doesn't offer the greatest variety of eateries. Since '82 we've stopped and stayed in town twice a year while on the way to Big Bend National Park, as it's the last outpost for folks like us heading southward. Honestly can't say 'why' we've never visited Steak House in the past, perhaps it was our usual motel's walk-in restaurant? After another 12-hour day behind the wheel, taking a few steps toward a Pseudo-Swiss-German eatery and NOT having to slide behind the wheel again was simply not to be missed. However, Pseudo-Swiss-German is a thing of the past. The menu is typical West-Texas fare, nothing super-special. However, from our viewpoint the two items tried were both 'above average'. I had the meatloaf platter, while my friend had the great Texas staple, Chicken-fried steak. He ordered the c/f/s without gravy, and found it very tasty. I liked the meatloaf, enjoyed with green beans and mashed potatoes. Our pecan pie dessert was above average. The first dinning room was about 1/2 full on an 'early' Friday night, and our server was both friendly and helpful in answering our questions about menu items. The 'chuckwagon' salad bar was well-stocked with fresh looking and tasting items. For the portions received, we thought the price was 'in line'. The floors weren't sticky, the dishes and tables clean. One could do FAR worse in Fort Stockton! read more

We stopped in Fort Stockton for lunch on our way to New Mexico. Filled up with some gas and asked the dame behind the counter for a recommendation. She immediately said the Steak House Restaurant. Cars were surrounding the place so this was a good sign. My family of 5 walked in and I felt like we had time warped into a scene from "Footloose" (original, not remake). The local looked at us like we big bad city folk invading their town. We waited for a table to be cleared then looked over the menu. Hubby ordered the chicken fried steak which was the special. It looked horrible and tasted bland. My older kids got the burgers and were happy with them. I ordered a bacon grilled cheese. I ordered this same item at a restaurant at home and well, this one sucked. The sandwich was soaked in butter, kind of sloppy smushed. Fries were okay but tasted kind of refried.. Staff doesn't seem to handle the inside real well. Defiinitiely disappointed. Locals usually give good recommendations but this time we should have taken into consideration that the recommender looked more like the crypt keeper. read more

Wanted to be pleasantly surprised but we weren't. We left wishing we would have stopped at Pizza Hut instead.

2.5 stars. Arrived around 7PM on a Saturday night and there was only one other family inside. I wondered if that was not a good sign since it is easy to spot good grub in a one horse town by all the pickup trucks outside. The walls were covered in a big mural of a typical West Texas scene of outlaws and cowboys. It complimented the Musica Tejana. Ordered Almitas Special which was an 8oz ribeye served ranch style with an enchillada, rice, and beans. I thought it wasn't bad - worthy of a 3/5. Girlfriend picked out the grilled chicken with a baked potato. She also grabbed a plate of greens from the salad bar, which was a bit lacking. When her meal came, I selfishly laughed inside because it was soon clear I ordered the better of the two meals. I did feel bad for her. She said her meal was a 2/5, maybe a 1/5 if you take into account the price. All things considered, it probably is on par with other restaurants in Fort Stockton. By the time we left, a few more families were enjoying the food also. read more

Came here for a quick lunch. The place wasn't too packed, which was good because we didn't want to have to wait a long time. There was only one waitress at the time, however, she (Abby) did a great job serving everyone. I got the Green Chicken Enchiladas plate, perfect serving size! The sweet tea was really good, was not too sweet which is good. Overall, I would come back again if I'm heading this way. read more

This place is not a steakhouse. Very small salad bar and my mans catfish was raw when served. Will never be back.

Negative 5 stars. How is this place even open? One waitress. Rude. Over priced all the way around and terrible! To my friends saying as exiting the place, " if I wanted beef jerky, I would have stopped at the gas station!" Luckily we are only in town for work, will not recommend and will never eat here again! I ordered a mediums rare steak and they served it on a hot plate! Not to mention it was terrible! read more

Nearly $10 for a cheese enchilada plate in Fort Stockton? Ridiculous. The enchiladas were "OK" but the only places in Texas I know of that charge that much for this simple and low cost dish are in Austin and Dallas where restaurant costs are likely 5X what these people pay for rent, utilities, labor, etc. If this plate cost a much more fair price of $5.99 to $6.99 it would have gotten a "three star" rating. And there are a lot of small Texas towns where the cafes serve equal or better enchilada plates in this price range. read more

My husband and I rv across the country and this by far is the very worst place we have eaten. $8 for a Blt on stale bread with old lettuce and a trace of tomato was rediculous I did ask for crispy bacon but this was very crunchy . $2.50 for ice tea with no refills offered. No diet drinks available.The women's bathroom was dirty too. Yuk!! read more

Not bad at all. Was here for breakfast. It was very good. 4 stars for the biscuit. It was in house home made, and you can taste it. Mo one has house made biscuits anymore. Otherwise it is average. read more

Place is clean. Food was good. It's a great place for passing by travellers. Price friendly.
