Hands down the best place for steaks in San Angelo! Perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The portions are generous, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere makes it a great spot for both casual dining and special occasions. A must-visit if you’re craving steak!

Ordered daily special that comes with dessert. The chocolate cake with cherries was amazing!! We also ordered onion rings that were light & crispy. I was truly surprised that they were greasy. The fried chicken was average but good. Only thing I didn’t like about the special was they served a cold mandarin orange salad on the plate in between my hot mashed potatoes & creamy squash. I did ask for a separate small dish to move cold orange salad off my plate & waitress brought it. My husband Ordered steak fingers and they were great.

Nostalgic!!!! Visited for the first time for lunch on June 8th after hearing about this place for years. We were immediately seated and attended. Service was so quick. We ordered that day’s special and when that delicious array of food was set before us in its wonderful, hearty simplicity, I was immediately transported back to the 1970’s and felt like I was visiting my grandma’s house. The decor, the meal, the ambience……I kept feeling like I needed to light a cigarette and listen to some vintage country music. I honestly wouldn’t have been surprised to see my late grandpa walk in from his barn or fields for his midday meal. It also reminded me of taking road trips back in the day when motels where you stayed had great on site restaurants. I can see why this place is so revered by so many. The homemade rolls were divine and the pies looked amazing. It’s truly a time capsule treasure and I hope it never changes. Location- 5 to 8 min east of downtown San Angelo. Parking was level and ample. Staff was friendly. Don’t miss this place!!!

The restaurant has been in business for 65 years. It’s absolutely right out of a movie set. You will never find coconut cream pie with meringue that high anywhere else in the country. All pies are made fresh daily. Coconut cream, chocolate cream, peach, apple and cherry. The food is fresh and the menu is diverse. If you’re passing through town or want to take a little road trip, it will not disappoint.

I’ll preface by stating that I’m a HUGE advocate for local businesses. I also tend to bias food over service & presentation for restaurants that I review.
I was recommended to come here by 2 different people from San Angelo while in town. It was boasted as a place “where the locals go” for great home cooked food at great prices.
The establishment itself is a time capsule of a local diner from the late 60s to 70s. Wood panel walls, concrete floors that previously had tiling, and overpainted popcorn ceilings. Red faux leather chairs and benches are coupled with wood formica tabletops. If you remember everything from your youth being brown, then this will be a quaint dose of nostalgia in a busy modern world.
The service was good, and I promptly received my chicken fried steak plate that I ordered off of the daily special menu. Unfortunately, this is where the trip down memory lane ends.
Now, on to the brass tax: the food. I don’t judge by looks, EVER. Like I said, I judge by taste. For a near $20 meal before tip, I have to be brutally honest. I can only describe my meal in one word: bland
The slightly charred rolls, soggy breaded chicken fried steak, and the accompanying corn & beans all lacked flavor. The cream gravy didn’t do anything to add a savory pop to the dish. The only saving grace was the ice-box pineapple fruit salad that was brought out post meal.
All of the other pieces were coming together for a great, local institution dining experience. However the flavor and quality of the meal itself make this puzzle frustrating to not be able to complete.

Haven’t been there to eat in a long time . And won’t go back . My buddy and myself go to eat breakfast every Saturday . For some reason he wanted to go here . I ordered a Ham , egg and cheese omelet . They hash browns had been sitting on the grill so long you couldn’t eat them . Kinda like peanut brittle hard . My omelet was cooked in the middle. It still had the whites running out . And never got my toast . My buddy ordered Bacon , eggs, hash browns and a pancake . Once again the hash browns were uneatable , his eggs and bacon were ok , but his pancake was cold . It wouldn’t melt room temperature butter . All that bad food was 30.00 . Go to Golden corral for that . So we won’t be eating at this establishment again . That’s sad , because they use to have really good food . So I’m telling you , don’t waste your time and money going here .

This was no fancy place by any means, however, the food was fresh,delicious, filling and coffee hot and strong!!! The locals directed my husband and I here and I’m glad we checked it out. I love breakfast foods the best and it’s nice when I don’t get served a GREASY mess. Give this place a try if you want filling and delicious without breaking the bank.

I have the steak fingers. They brought back memories of a home-cooked meal at Grandma’s house. Their desserts are to die for best breakfast and authentic country home-cooked meals in town.
