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.

After I waited, they came back to the window to give me "my" food. Shocker, they got it wrong. I asked them to remake the order correctly, which they obliged. As they're finally returning with my correct order I ask the man at the window if he charged my card extra for the wrong food they prepared(they did). Surprise! Time to wait again, the man retreats back behind the window without a word. Eventually he comes back holding 99 cents in coins out for me to take. Someone who could've been him, or could've been the manager, didn't want to refund my card for the money he owes me. At this point I'm getting angry. I paid with my card, I expect my money back on the dang card. But no, that's not how it was going to work today. No sir! Anyway, I told the dude at the window to put the coins in his pocket as a tip. Then I drove off, and I'm never coming back. Their service is horrendous and their food really isn't even any good. -Jack

It came with sausage and brisket, beans, and a jalapeño! Insanely good. I am so glad we stopped to eat here. I ordered a club with fries. They really underpromised and over delivered. I was expected a slice of deli meat but no, I was wrong. It was chopped chicken??? Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and perfectly buttered bread. And a lot of meat! You HAVE TO stop and eat here.

Our waitress was friendly, took our order and brought our orange juices quickly. I ordered the Western omelette w/hash browns (potato chunks) & toast and my husband opted for the breakfast burrito and coconut cream pie for desert. My husband seemed to have enjoyed his breakfast more than I mine although he didn't like the pie. My toast was buttery and there was no jelly in sight or our waitress to ask. Also, no salt & pepper or condiments on any of the tables like other restaurants. Perhaps because it's a senior citizen complex they aren't allowed to spice things up. Guessing here, perhaps government subsidized (501C3) so they are able to offer price reduced meals. The place was clean, quiet, ample seating and a nice menu selection. However, it's just not my thing to dine in at a "nursing home environment". I'm happy to see Main Street Cafe is available for those who are wanting cheap meals.

West Texans know that Big Lake is somewhere you drive through to get to either San Angelo or Odessa. And while you're driving through it, STOP HERE! It's hard to add to the other fine reviews on this converted bank-to-restaurant place, other than to say, it's fabulous. Everything was fresh and well-prepared. The owner/chef is a great guy who is out there serving and talking to patrons. We had a Texas Cobb salad and a chicken sandwich. The menu is full of great things. Also - we bought the Texas cookbook - Sugar Creek Grill is featured in it. Make Sugar Creek Grill a destination! read more
