Haven't been to H8 in probably 20 years. The joint has definitely developed a 'patina', shall we…read moresay. Still the same Llano-style serving pit line, pay by the lb program. Cooking pits didn't seem to be very active and the incinerator (burns mesquite down to coals) didn't either. Made me wonder if they haven't switched over to covert rotisserie pits like Cooper's. Sure hope not. Anyhow, I got half lb lean brisket and 2 pork ribs. I grew up eating this style of q and this had that same 'fat dripping into the fire' flavor that all Llano-style q has. I used to love it. I mean, really love it. Now, to me, it's just ok. H8 did a very good job executing this style of q, but I believe the direct cooking flavor is inferior to a well run, clean burning offset. The fat sizzle flavor hit me more as an off note than 'Ah yeah, Llano q'. Also, Llano-style q is heavy on the salt. I guess my taste buds have grown up. Also, the H8 sauce is NOT traditional Llano thin ketchup vinegar style dip. On 2nd thought, if the meat was cooked direct over coals, the better option might have been to go for the pulled pork, ala North Carolina style. But, this is Texas, after all.

Another favorite is the waffle sandwich for breakfast . U can't go wrong with ordering the homestyle potatoes with any meal. I've lived here for 26 yrs and I still need to try other items on the menu but I keep repeating on ordering the same thing.

Okay, I have never graded a restaurant on their cleanliness but here we go…read more Yes, we did eat here today and it was frightening honestly. We walked in and over to a booth... the table appeared clean but the seats had food left in them for ... well I'm not sure how long. Moved to another booth that the guy way "wiping down" with a wet dirty rag and no cleaner. Yes, I am aware that some restaurants soak towels for this purpose, but I promise this was not the case. He did not wipe down the seats, but the food on the seat was to my right and there really was no other option, since all the chairs at the tables had hand prints on the top of the chairs and black dirt on the legs of the chairs. I informed the waitress that she might want to remind her bus boy that he should wipe down the seats. She apologized and I hope she passed on the information. While sitting there, I became more uncomfortable. Food on the walls. Air vents were black, like the AC filter has never been changed. I observed people behind the counter on an "ice rink of grease" sliding all around. The floors in the restaurant haven't been cleaned in days. It was 10 am, no way could they look like that from just a few hours. The grill has not been cleaned in well, it's been a while.... See photos, the aluminum wall guard was swiped at. But the controls on the grill were just nasty Waitresses were eating and drinking behind the counter, in front of customers. I didn't get to the restrooms, but if they are anything like the rest of the restaurant..... Coffee was as far as I wanted to go here. But my mom wanted to eat. So we ordered a burger and a steak sandwich. 40.00 plus tip. Food was subpar. Does were cold. Burger was not great. Mom liked her steak sandwich. Would I recommend this place. Absolutely NOT. We will not be going back. A giant waste of money.

The ribeye was perfectly cooked, tender and perfectly seasoned. My wife always gets the chicken fried steak. It's a huge meal and a heck of a deal. Each plate came with mashed potatoes and some veggies. I love desserts and I am always trying new places to find the best desserts. I can honestly say that Newton's bread pudding is the best bread pudding I have ever had and is one of my favorite desserts. I follow their social media and I always see their burger Tuesday's. We happened to be passing through and decided to stop in. Carlos was our server and he was on top of things and he offered great customer service. I got the triple meat smash burger with grilled jalapeños and bacon added. My wife got the buffalo chicken sandwich. They were both tasty. I would definitely stop by again for their burgers but their steaks are still my go to. And of course we had to finish our meals with a bread pudding!!

My wife had the filet and the kitchen was nice enough to sub a gluten free pasta for the blue cheese gnocchi that was on the menu. The pasta was buttery and rich, very rich but my wife enjoyed it and said the steak was up there with the best steak she's ever had. Get the bourbon glazed carrot.. trust me.

I'm usually not a big fan of chicken fried steak, but this one was hot, tender, crispy on the outside, and perfect! They make the best mashed potatoes in the world, they leave the skins on them and they are great! That PLUS wonderful string beans with chopped bacon inside, there's nothing better for lunch at this price, $9.99! We also got a nice unsweet, Arnold Palmer, our waitress, Charles, Brought us a charger for our telephone because I had one getting very low. And they smiled all the way, I left him a great big tip, and I love this place! They're also very good to my dog, 60 pound bulldog on a leash, who sat in the booth with us and was greeted as politely as a person. We will be back many many times.

Every single bite was fresh and flavorful. The crust was spot on--crispy yet chewy--and their ranch dressing was so good it could be bottled and sold. The owner was incredibly personable, even taking the time to answer my (many!) questions, and the staff was just as friendly and attentive. The whole place was clean--including the bathroom, which y'all know is always a big deal to me. Hatch Chicken Pizza If you're in Stephenville, do yourself a favor and check this spot out. Great food, great people, and a welcoming atmosphere--can't ask for more than that!
