Reviews
Fantastic place given you are in a small town in the vast Texas desert.
With a few more details,
Food was good, place had a nice vibe inside the hotel and clean and service was very nice and friendly.
It would prob be 4 stars if it was in Austin but I’ll cut em slack and give them 5.
Kudos to them giving good quality tasty food in such a remote location.
I’m super cheap and the Tater dish with green beans, mushroom, and cheese is pretty boss. It’s small for $16 (about the size of a large gumbo in NOLA valued at $10), but it’s quite tasty.
The Caesar salad? Good, solid. The spinach and artichoke dip? Good but even better with their fried bread dipping chip thing. Boss, and quite unique of a design (instead of a chip or bowtie noodle).
Their $45 steak? Excellent. In Houston or Dallas, it’s going to be $65 for the same steak with smooth, creamy mash potatoes and a subtle crunchy, well flavored green beans.
Overall, pricey but it’s in a fancy hotel. Service at the bar table? Weak. The server is running the bar and the bar-tables so he couldn’t bounce from bar to our table very easily. Nice guy just mostly busy. So…5 star still b/c of the food.
Second Visit
This time we enjoyed a 3 dishes: the Ribeye with asparagus spears and garlic mashed potatoes, swordfish ceviche with chips, and a cup of split pea soup with ham and a toasted slice of garlic buttered sourdough bread. All three of these were wonderful full of flavor and delicious. Beware, the swordfish ceviche is a little on the spicy side and has a good kick to it.
First Visit
Nice place. Very historic with that south western feel. The hotel looks cool, but this is for The Century Bar & Grill. You have to go through the bar to get there, so be sure to ask around if you can’t find it and everyone will help get you there. We had the fried pickles as an appetizer and they were so good, between my son and I, we forgot the usual picture. Main courses; fish and chips (really I had fries), then the beef and bratwurst burger with waffle cut sweet potato fries. The fish was thick cut with a crumb coating fried to perfection the regular fries were, we’ll regular fries. The beef and bratwurst burger, was very unique, one patty was beef and a second patty from a smashed bratwurst. Together the flavor was amplified by the caramelized onions and Horseradish sauce. The waffle cut sweet potatoe fries were delicious. Our server was very friendly and perfectly timed her table appearances when we needed something or to check on food quality and preparation. We were there for an early dinner, so the bar was busier than the restaurant.
PS we ate there again, and I ordered the ribeye that was delicious!! I attached a picture of my wedding plate and steak here.
Top notch. This would have cost me 350 dollars in Houston. I think I paid about 200 dollars for four people with drinks here. It was underpriced considering the quality of food/drink/service received.
CHEERS!!!!!!!! Order up!
I like to ask a server what their favorite dish is, and what do people who come here frequently order. SHE KNEW and loved sharing that with us. There’s nothing more zapping of energy to start a dining experience when a server shrugs with an “I don’t know”. She KNEW the menu, what she liked, what her customers liked AND WHY. All homemade dressings, I couldn’t decide so I gave her the decision-making. Same with dessert. She loved that. Her enjoyment on that and the back-and-forth interaction was the cherry-on-top for a great dining experience.
I had the honey-glazed salmon. My husband the chicken fried chicken. My salmon was cooked PERFECTLY. P.E.R.F.E.C.T.L.Y.
NOTE: She said people frequently order the fish and chips. I needed less fried and more color on my plate, as I had a catfish basket, while traveling, the night before. She said she normally doesn’t eat fish but she loves their blackened fish.
Oh ….. and here’s a picture of the fabulous lighting fixture overhead our table and lobby of the adjoining historic hotel. Quite lovely. (Treasure hunt: look at the back of the chairs at the large table in the lobby. Very cool.)
