Bad Rabbit Cafe at Terlingua Ranch Lodge: Best of Big Bend …
The Bad Rabbit Cafe at the Terlingua Ranch Lodge resort is one of the best Big Bend restaurants with meals worth the drive even if you’re not staying there.
BAD RABBIT CAFÉ – Terlingua Ranch Lodge
It is unclear how or why Rabbit’s first name changed from Crazy to Bad – maybe. 30 years of being settled at Terlingua Ranch has slowed him down a bit. Or.

My wife and I ate lunch here after going up the Christmas Mountain trail and back during the morning period. We were hungry, and it was a long way to anywhere else to eat. Glad we did stop, as the food was really good. We got wraps and fries/sweet potato fries, with Dr. Peppers. Kathleen was our server, and she did a great job while providing us some information about the Lodge and area. A great experience, and recommended for anyone staying there or passing through.

We were staying at Christmas Mountain and we needed a place to fill up before hitting Big Bend. Bad Rabbit Cafe understood the assignment. When the food came out we were delighted withe the portion size, but even more delighted by the taste. We had a down home filling breakfast and I didn’t have to make it! The pancakes were fluffy and filling, my French toast was flavorful and my daughters sausage biscuit tasted just as beautiful as it looked. And as a bonus we got a little Mustang history.

What an amazing place to eat! The atmosphere is just lay back and chill, the food was amazing and the service was over the top! Our server, Beau, was a machine! Super nice, very attentive and so patient. He handled 9 tables while we were there, a couple of tables had 7 or more guests! It was a little bit of a drive from the Ghost town, but well worth it. There’s not too many places that gives you sour cream and salsa with a cheese quesadillas. My wife ordered the chicken fried chicken. This was no Sysco chicken fried chicken. This was a hand pounded, house breaded chicken fried chicken with real mashed potatoes with the skin and green beans. The best meal we’ve had in this area. We will surely be back!

There was no where closer, but so glad there wasn’t. Sat in the screened porch and enjoyed the view. Chicken Fried Steak was good, but particularly liked the homemade mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. It’s at the end of a long road off 118…16 miles maybe (last three are unpaved.

From breakfast, lunch, and through dinner, this place keeps you fed. As a property owner here at the ranch it’s a blessing to have a restaurant close by to enjoy a hot meal. Staff is great and the food is delicious!
The restaurant is nestled beside beautiful mountains and has amazing views. You can also get a hot shower and in the summer you dive into the pool there. If you need a place the stay the lodge has cabins or rv space for rent too!
Getting there is straight forward but the last 3 miles is an unpaved gravel road. It’s not the worst road but average speed for me is about 15 mph.
All said and done this place is a true oasis in the desert. Our favorite place after a long day working or exploring the mountains.

We waited for 40 mins for someone to get the menu and coffee, and another 40 mins to get a refill on coffee even when asked twice. Food came after 2 hours of sitting at the restaurant. I know a lot of us are here to enjoy big bend and not wait at a restaurant. Go here only if you have three hours to wait for the service.

Spent last weekend at Terlingua Ranch Lodge and enjoyed a few meals at the Bad Rabbit. Went twice for breakfast and the food was great, but the service was even better. Our server, Shaun, kept the coffee hot and made sure we always had everything we wanted. Dinner was great, too. I had the chicken fried steak, which was big, crispy and flavorful. The sides, green beans and mashed potatoes were fresh and very well prepared. I don’t know how they do it with their minimal staff, but food and service are top notch.

Friendly staff and great food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The chef even made special, off menu cinnamon rolls for us that were nearly as big around as my head! Prices were great. Staff even gave us some great ideas and tips for hiking the trails nearby. We ate at this restaurant for nearly every meal because we enjoyed it so much. Staying at this lodge is worth it for this restaurant alone.

Food tasted delicious, service was good !
My only complaint is I ordered the 2 NY strip medium rare and they were both well done. Flavor saved it even though it was dryer and tougher than I like.

You’re literally in the middle of nowhere – and to get the food and service you do is really refreshing. Hometown cooking with friendly neighborhood service.
