    It's worth dining here the first time just to see this wonderful historic hotel, now almost 100…read moreyears old. But we will be back since the ambiance is a cut above the competition and the food was good too. The chicken fried chicken was very good, made with breast that was moist and tender and a generous serving of cream gravy.

    Settles Grill, tucked inside the historic Hotel Settles in downtown Big Spring, was one of those…read morepleasant surprises I was glad i didn't miss this opportunity. From the start, the service set the tone. My server had that perfect balance--attentive, helpful, and genuinely engaged without hovering. It made the evening feel relaxed and easy. I started with the Parmesan fries because, honestly, who skips Parmesan fries when they're on the menu? They were crisp, flavorful, and just indulgent enough to feel like the right decision. For the entrée, I ordered the pan-seared salmon, and it did not disappoint. It was cooked to perfection, and the seasoning complemented the fish beautifully. The risotto was creamy and well-prepared, and the green beans had that fresh, crisp texture that tied everything together. The atmosphere added to the experience. Being set inside a beautifully restored historic property gave the place character. It felt like a spot where locals gathered--there was a familiarity in the room that made it feel like the place to see and be seen. And while it didn't hurt to walk in alongside the head of the local hospital (pure coincidence, and no, I wasn't a patient), the restaurant stood on its own merit. If you're driving through Big Spring or staying the night, Settles Grill was well worth the stop. It's a place where you don't "settle" at all--you simply have a very good meal in a setting that feels both welcoming and established.

    A quiet meal with my bride of 33 years. We were seated quickly and a drink order promptly filled…read more(ice water). We placed our order of grilled tilapia with rice, green beans, and squash casserole. I ordered the fried white fish with hush puppies and squash casserole. The dinner rolls were promptly provided too. We did not wait too long for our meals to be served either! My only disappointment was the squash casserole wasn't very hot. All of our food way delicious too. We like the atmosphere of Cotton Patch as well. Our waitress and food runner were pleasant and friendly!

    This place is ok. I searched google for restaurants with vegetarian options. While this place does…read moreoffer a vegetable plate, the options are mostly starches (corn, mashed potatoes, rice) and vegetables with so many additives that the veggies can't be considered healthy. I guess it's supposed to be like southern comfort food. Eh, it wasn't all that comforting. I ended up ordering the cowboy chicken or something. I don't have my receipt in front of me at the moment. Ranch hand chicken? Second item in that section on the menu. It came with rice and another item, mashed potatoes or something. I asked for broccoli and a side salad. They gave me the rice anyway. I didn't eat it nor the bread that they brought. Service was fine. No issues, but the girl did tell me to have a blessed day (it was dusk). Please keep your religion to yourself. I would have given four stars if not for this.
