Clear Springs Restaurant Midland, TX
Great atmosphere, good food, excellent service and reasonable prices all combine to make this slightly hard-to-get-to-restaurant worth the effort. Whether you order strictly from the menu or combine your food with a drink from the well stocked bar, Clear Spring Restaurant will satisfy you.
Basin Bay Seafood Restaurant Odessa, TX
I don't know if no one knew it was dinner time or not in Odessa the evening I tried Basin Bay, -- the place was almost deserted. Getting a table was no problem. The fried shrimp I ordered was portioned well for the price, but it was a bit overdone. The side dishes tasted better to me than the shrimp. Service was so-so. I guess the waitress just couldn't get enthused due to the lack of business. I won't discourage any one from coming here, but I do no highly recommend it either.
Gattiland Odessa, TX
Gattiland has a well stocked salad bar that far outstrips the quality of the pizza. Don't expect much in the way of high quality from the pizza and you won't be disappointed. They do have a large game room for after dinner entertainment. For me, the game room was much better than the meal. I'll be back to Gattiland, but it will be for the salad bar and the game room... not the pizza.
On the Border Midland, TX
While I understand that any restaurant can have a bad night, I was startled with how bad On The Border was. Though we were seated immediately, that was the last time we did not have to flag down a waiter. The complimentary chips and salsa were the best items we ate there that night. I have eaten Mexican food all my life, but I have only eaten food that bad once at a restaurant in New Mexico. And it wasn't just me. My wife and son neither one liked what they were served. We flagged down a waiter (again), got our bill and left. We won't be back. No, we didn't go anywhere else that night. Our appetites were pretty well ruined.
Amigos Restaurant El Paso, TX
I had to be talked into going here. Not because I had heard anything bad about the place, but because I had somewhere else in mind to go. I'm glad I relented. The atmosphere is great, the food was good, and the drinks from the bar were not skimmpy in the use of the alcohol of choice. The only thing lacking was the service. It was slow and sporatic. Still, I would recommend the place to anyone.
Joe's Crab Shack Lubbock, TX
Where else do you get a floorshow and great seafood? I loved the casual atmosphere. The food was great ( I love crab anyway you can fix it). And of course we couldn't leave until my wife bought a couple of t-shirts from the gift kiosk. Overall, I left with a pleasureable dining experience and a few butter stains on my clothes.
Bless Your Heart Restaurant Lubbock, TX
If the focus of this restaurant is on healthy dining, I certainly couldn't tell by the tatse of the food. The atmosphere is definately upscale. Many suits and ties were seen as well as a few of the blue jeans crowd. The lighting is low, the drinks from the bar were great, and the service was good. This is a place that I would recommend to take a date, celebrate anything, or just relax and have a fine meal.
Taco Villa Midland, TX
Typical of the chain. The store is clean and the service is fast but a bit inaccurate with the processing of the order. They will correct any problem they make in short order. The food is ok, and the portions are reasonably large for the price paid.
Catfish & Co Odessa, TX
An all right place to eat as long as you absolutley have to have something from the water. They offer other fair also, but it is also run of the mill. But with this said, they also don't put on any airs to being fancy. You get an environment that has definately been smoked in. As a smoker, it didn't bother me to have a smoking section, but my wife had a different view. The food was certainly prepackaged and frozen, but it was prepared as well as could be expected in the time it took from ordering to having warm food set down in front of you. The best thing about the place is they are open 24 hours.
Walter's Family Restaurant Odessa, TX
Probably one of the best burger places in town, but to many people it is known for one or more or their other menu items. The menu board is varied and the food is prepared quickly and well. I personally prefer their chicken strip dinner. While, at first a bit pricey, you get what you pay for. The portions are large and the food is good. During busy times of the day, the floors and tables could be a bit cleaner, but added personel always means higher prices. You just have to weigh the one against the other and decide which you prefer.
Barn Door & Pecos Depot Odessa, TX
The bread was good, The cheddar cheese was a bit warm for my liking. Had to send the steak back twice to have it cooked properly. The salad was run of the mill, and the side dishes left much to be desired. I expected better food for the prices they charged.
Jumburrito Mexican Food Rstrnt Odessa, TX
Jumburrito's has a wide selection of burritos you can order. The taste is slightly better than the average fair until you add their green salsa. It vastly adds to the flavor of the food. The prices are in line with the portion size.
Red Lobster Odessa, TX
Not a bad place to eat if you're really desperate for a taste of something from the water. Service is iffy, prices are a bit on the high side and you just may need to go across the street for a burger because of the skimpy portions served. No complaints about the bar, though you may have to go get the drink yourself if you want it in a timely manner.
Texas-Burger Odessa, TX
Not a bad burger place at all. The portions are large for the price paid. The dining area was clean and the service was friendly. Refills on soft drinks are free. they also have a nice selection of ice cream for an after meal dessert.
Fort Davis Drug Store Fort Davis, TX
An excellent place to eat after walking the downtown shops of Ft. Davis. Though the place fills quickly during meal times, the waitstaff will seat you as quickly as possible. If your party is small and you are seated at a large table, you may just get to meet some of the colorful and friendly locals that you may be asked to share a table with. This is NOT a bad thing. Food portions are large and will remind you of the best of good ole home cookin'. These folks seem to go out of their way to make your stay with them a memorable one.
Mejor Que Nada San Angelo, TX
I've been here twice now and it's a good thing they have added a large parking lot behind the restaurant because the small lot the restaurant is located on is totally inadequate for parking. I have to give them a mixed review. The first time I went there, the food and service was excellent. The next time the food was below average and the service was non existant. Because of my first experience with them, I do plan on returning whenever my path leads me back to San Angelo.
Texas Land & Cattle Lubbock, TX
The best steak I have eaten in years. Most places have trouble cooking a steak to medium well while retaining the best of a steak's flavor and juiciness. Teaxas Land & Cattle have cooking steak down to a fine art. I would rate them better if the side dishes were on the same par as the steak, but, unfortunately, in my experience, this just was not the case. But, if you want a great steak at a reasonable price (and you will think the price is more than reasonable once you taste the steak), give them a try.
Dos Compadres Mexican Rstrnt Odessa, TX
Dos Compadre's is not a bad place to eat if one is not especially hungry. The have the basic menu for a Mexican food restaurant in Odessa. The food is not at all unpleasant. The portions are a bit on the small side, but then, the prices are not very high either. The place has a basic bar and live entertainment has been known to take place. The entertainment is free when it's there, so judge it accordingly.
Stars Drive In of Odessa IV Odessa, TX
Although Stars Drive In is a converted, older syled Sonic Drive In, and one can easily see many commonalities in the arrangement of the menu, I think I prefer the taste and the portion size of Stars over that of Sonic. I have eaten here many times and have yet to have bad service or bad food. The burgers are filling and the drinks are larger than average. The place could use a facelift, but don't let the doughty exterior throw you. Stars Drive In is worth a try.
Abuelo's Mexican Food Embassy Midland, TX
Abuelo's has everything that a good Mexican food restaurant should have: atmosphere, great food, uncrowed seating, and a crew of waiters that are eager to please. This one is definately going on my favorite places to eat list.
