best restaurant in town, i live in a bigger city so i know what's real good food and this is definitely one especially for a small town, also ask for Mario he's great ! read more

This place was mid at most. When we got here there wasn't many people here but they had music playing, and it was a very welcoming place. When we sat down our we ordered our drinks and hung out. When we eventually ordered our food it took a very long time to get the food out to our table. The apps we got were very salty and didn't have much flavor besides it being salty. We had to wait for our food for about 45 minutes from when we ordered to when it got to our table. The food was once again very salty. I got the chicken fried chicken and I had to take off the crust because it was way too salty for my liking. Do not recommend the chicken fried chicken. But the waiters were very nice and very patient with us. But overall it was a 3 stars do not recommend. read more

We had a large group and had the saloon to ourselves. To start we had the Armadillo Legs - Baked jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and bacon topped with our house sauce, Onion Rings, and the Seared Ahi Tuna Sashimi. The rings were actually amazing, the legs were a fun version of something found in other places, the tuna was good and an odd find for Del Rio. For the main, I chose the mesquite grilled ribeye (12oz) that came with a baked potato you could top your way and some asparagus that was a tasty add. Dessert was a Molten Lava Cake that was perfect. Certainly not the best place I have ever been to, but for the especially limited options in the Del Rio area I would consider this to be a hit. Service worked out well for us considering the challenge our large group was giving them. read more

Brilliant lam chops! I wanted to get a refill but I was too full! The side salad was very nice as well as the steamed broccoli. Waitress was very attentive. I hope to return on another trip to Del Rio read more

Amazing food but lacks customer service, servers where rude never received a greet / smile felt so unwelcomed for my first time here for my moms birthday :( read more

My family and I visited Cripple Creek for my birthday and I have to say it was the best decision we made. The food was great and the service was even better. I have never had a bad experience there unlike that other steak house which will not be named ( Texas Roadhouse). I will be visiting Cripple Creek a lot more often now. A++++ read more

The food took forever. People that arrived after our table with larger parties were served and leaving by the time our table of 4 finally got the food. Steak and shrimp were lukewarm and the fries were the only thing hot. We tried to politely bring our issues to the waitress but she ignored our concerns. We asked to speak to a manager and after waiting for another extended period of time, we received the same disregard. Cripple Creek used to be a place we could count on to celebrate family milestones. We won't be coming back. read more

Always a great place for an awesome steak and cold brew! Great atmosphere, the service is amazing and leave satisfied every time!

Made a reservation for 4 people to celebrate my birthday. We arrived on time only to be told that there were no tables available and the wait would be long. We asked them why they require a reservation and they told us that it's a "first come first served". It was a very hot day and they don't have a waiting area so we left. Way to ruin my birthday. The hostess was very rude. read more

For some crazy reason they had a lot of big parties today. So we had to wait a long time for our drinks, salad and meal. I'm sure it's usually a pleasant place. It seemed everyone was celebrating a birthday too. read more

Cripple Creek Restaurant - 12 oz Ribeye. - Burgers Near Me - Del Rio, Texas

While in Del Rio for a short getaway, we chose this restaurant for dinner on the night of our anniversary. It did not disappoint. We made reservations and we were seated fairly quickly once we arrived. This is one busy restaurant, but for the most part, everything went smoothly. I chose the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and everything was very good, with enough food for another meal. My husband opted for the ribeye steak and loved it. The iced tea was also pretty good and they offered a nice military discount. The service was pretty good considering how busy they were - a few hiccups - but nothing major. The weirdest thing here was that the women's restroom had two commodes but nothing separating them for privacy, so essentially only one woman could use it a time. I found this quite interesting. We don't regret selecting this place for our anniversary dinner! We had a nice meal. read more

I have hunted in Comstock for nearly 25 years. My GF and I dropped into this place on a Wednesday night and were totally blown away! Food was fantastic, drinks were good, service was awesome. The steak was phenomenal! read more

Great restaurant! Kept hearing everyone saying that it is good since arriving locally so finally decided to give it a try, worthwhile. It is located on 90 fwy near loop 79 next to Del Rio Fisherman's. They do have an outside parking lot that are unmarked so just be cognizant of others so you don't take up too much space that can park another car. Dinner time is very busy but I was still able to find a parking spot. The interior decor is retro yet pleasant, with a bar in the middle and TVs hanging at the top. Quite noisy so probably not the best place if you'd like private conversations. Ordered the filet and the wedge salad. The filet is well cooked with a piece of bacon around the steak, the meat is extremely tender and juicy, while the side sweet potato fries (you can also pick a few other options) are fabulous. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. Also observed a lot of birthdays since the waiters and waitresses will bring a cake with a candle and go to the birthday person's table to start clapping and singing happy birthday. Will definitely come back to try other steaks. Keep up the goo work Cripple Creek! read more

Had a reservation & was seated right away but took 20 minutes for a waiter to come take our order. Took an additional 45 minutes for our food to come out. Granted, it was Friday evening & it was busy. But we Got there at 6:15 & ate about 7:30. The food was amazing- we got a rib eye & a burger & drinks. 10/10. However our waiter checked in with us maybe 2 times. Would return for the food. But maybe not because the wait time was pretty long. read more

Ehh, overpriced steaks, meals. They charge this because there is nothing else like this in town! It's considered a fine dining restaurant but, it really isn't to me. It's been a staple to del rio for a very long time. Service is always good. Drinks are okay. Food is okay, nothing special about it and prices are very expensive. Personally I would rather make my own steaks at home for 3/4 of the cost less. It has a very western, cabin look and ambiance to it. read more

The service was spot on! The margarita I found the price for the small $9.50 high, but it was yummy. We had the 8 oz steaks and it they were both cooked to perfection with amazing flavor. The broccoli was $3.00 extra, seemed unnecessary considering the steak with a roll and small salad was $22.00, but whatever. We also had 1/3 lb hamburger with steak fries both delicious, it was served on a sweet roll which was unexpected but still delicious. read more

Hit or miss with this place. First time was out of this world, their shrimp cocktail is AMAZING, ALWAYS!!!! But within the last year it has been sketchy every visit. Between wait staff, bad drinks and just slow mediocre service this place has good and bad just have to take your chances. I want to love this place but honestly depends on the day. read more

Very good steak. Great sides especially the onion rings. Desserts were delicious. Every item was a good serving size. The best lemonade!! Our waitress was excellent. So nice and helpful in anyway. Never forgot items we needed nor did she ignore us. Hardest working busboy too! We enjoyed our dinner and highly recommend Cripple Creek. read more

We really enjoy the Rib Eye steak and the loaded potato. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium with a nice sear baking in the flavor. One of very few if not only places in Del Rio that carry an IPA option. My wife loved the Mango/Chamoy margarita. The fried pickles and mozzarella sticks were great as well. read more

Great food! They definitely know how to cook chicken breast. Get them "smothered". Good service. Delicious cucumber shot. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we came back two days later. read more

Let me start off by saying our server Anna Marie is the best server we have had in Del Rio. She was amazing!!! So if you do decide to go here I hope you get her and her great service!!! All the other employees seemed nice also. I mainly wanted to go here because I heard it was the nicest place in town and I have been wanting to go to a nice place for nice, fancy cocktails. The drinks were a big let down. I ordered the mango margarita and it looked good, but was not good. Anna Marie was nice enough to get me the classic instead since I could not drink the other. I couldn't finish that one either, but could not complain to our amazing server again. My husband got the Spicy Diablo Margarita and he said it was better than the others but was not crazy about it. We just ordered shots of Gentlemen's Jack. As far as the food goes here, not the best. Not terrible. My husband had the filet mignon and he said it wasn't bad, but not great. He said Texas road has a better steak He's had steak all over the world. Not that he doesn't have a sophisticated palate that he thinks Texas road house is the best lol. I had the mozzarella sticks, fried jalapeños, and salad with blue cheese since I am vegetarian. Anna Marie recommended the combination of the mozzarella sticks and the fried jalapeños and she was not wrong! Delicious the blue cheese dressing was watery and not the best. Buffalo Wild Wings has a better one We ordered flan for dessert and Anna Marie arranged it so that the employees came out and sang an anniversary song and they dressed the plate adorably! It was lit with a sparkling candle, so cute!!!! In conclusion, employees are great!!! Food is decent. Bar drinks need some serious work! read more

I had the best ribeye steak tonight I have had in awhile. Super nice staff and awesome food. Highly recommend this restaurant. Our server Ever was the best. read more

We really enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere. The acoustics are a little loud so having conversation can be difficult. The food we really enjoyed. I got the cowboy burger and fries which were excellent. My mother in law got the chicken fried steak and she really enjoyed it. My wife got the Shish kebabs. Service was great as well. I will say the one thing that left me disappointed and I'm rating 4 instead of a 5 is I order their high in margarita and I was disappointed in it. read more

My second visit with the same waiter (Braden, sorry) was as phenomenal as the first. My third visit was horrendous. I dont remember the waiter's name, but our usual guy was off that night. The service was terrible, the tables around us sat dirty the entire time, and my steak was quite overdone despite emphasizing that I wanted it VERY rare. I will obviously be back, but only if Braden is working. I hope he never leaves. Lol. read more

The food is always outstanding. I ate there for about a year once or twice a week. The price is fair and it's hands down the best steakhouse or restaurant in Del Rio. The service is very good as well. They can get very busy and still the food is hot the service friendly. The ambiance is was you would expect in small border town Texas and they always treated me well. I will miss my 2 nights a week there. The owner sent this over to me and a dear friend of mine. Thank you Polo, Bridgette and most of all Erica. So many more to mention but I might forget someone. They are all great and hardworking people. I plan to visit my daughter down there soon and hope to see you all. Love and miss y'all Nick!! read more

We love this place. Very good onion rings, steaks, salads, and nice service. Needs some postcards and matchbooks for souvenirs. Nice people and love the cats outside. read more

I sat at the bar and ordered the house salad and mesquite grilled mahi mahi filet with baked sweet potato (salad comes with entree) for dinner. The mahi was fabulous! Delicious mesquite flavor, good sized portion and hearty. Loved the potato with sweet butter as well. Bartender was attentive and food came out quickly. Since I was so full from the mahi, I got the apple dumpling with vanilla ice cream to go. Good but I've had better dumplings. read more

Upon arrival the atmosphere was loud. We were greeted with smiles and courtesy at the host station. We were quickly seated, however, it took 10 minutes before we were approached by a man server. We seemed pleasant but quickly took our drink order and left. All he did was drop drinks off and left. Very abruptly. After delivering are drinks, we politely stated that we would love to order. He stated that he was just the drink order person that our food server would be shortly. When we received our main entrees. We asked if we could have a few rolls with our meals and to our disappointment he stated very a matter of fact that the would be ready in 20 minutes and that the were complimentary. Definitely was not too thrilled with our service and the food was ok. read more

A bunch have people have reviewed this place where it seems this was there first time eating out. One person even said it was a locals place that was a tourist trap. Can't have it both ways. It is a typical Texas HW 90 steak house. Compare to Hermannsons in Hondo, Bill and Rosa's in D'Hanis and Oasis Outback in Uvalde. They literally sit on HW 90, so you get travelers. They are also legacies to the small towns. Several generations may celebrate every milestone there with family. They share those experiences with road weary travelers. They don't mind your business. They secretly don't care if you are there or not. But, being crowded never hurt anyone's bottom line. Trap? Nope. COST Menu ranges from $6.99 to $89. Yes. More expensive than Whataburger value meal. But better also. We were table of 4, two large alcohol drinks, 12 oz Ribeye, 8 oz Filet mignon, fish tacos, and a burger. Salads all the way around and a dessert and two sodas. $120. We were celebrating wife graduation from Sul Ross. We live in San Antonio. If you think that is expensive, it is not. It is comparable to everywhere I eat. Top price goes to Tomahawk steak. Can't eat the bone so I don't know why anyone would order it. TASTE Great steaks. Son loved the tacos. And my 99.9% vegetarian daughter ate the burger. They don't have much in the way of plant based diets. Tho one could have pieced together something with some sides. We knew this, she knew this. Wife only graduates once. Steak fries were good. WAIT Place was packed. So what, we had reservations. I mean we were traveling to a far away town, booked a hotel too. We are weird like that. I was a Boy Scout and they have this Be Prepared thing. I was in the coast guard and their motto was Semper Paratus (always ready) shoot, I'm not going to an unfamiliar place half-cocked. We waited maybe 27 seconds once I said my name. Those waiting just sneered. "Planning is free" I said as I shuffled to my table. STAFF Friendly and competent. Refilled drinks, smiled, and food came as ordered. Got my 20%. AMBIANCE HW 90s Steak House. Local dead animals. Local art. Some old item that nobody would think to collect and a bunch of wood. COST A STAR Table was just cleaned prior to us sitting and was wet. That by itself, meh. Grease trap needs higher vent pipes. Could detect foul Odor in parking lot where the cats hang out, good no mice, and between the kitchen back door. Stupid birthday song they sing to everyone celebrating. The sparkler on the cake was cool. But not when 4 people are celebrating. Smelled like a gunfight. Don't ask. I'd recommend this place to the fun loving folks out on the road. If your grumpy and tired go to Starbucks for a scone and Chai Latte tea. read more

Great place to eat .,,,great service...,friendly people ..,, my favorite restaurant in Del Rio now !!!

This place is amazing! Choose any of the steaks they are cook to perfection. We all had different cuts and we're extremely satisfied with our meals. The armadillo appetizer was really great. The service was also terrific, my only complaint is we waited all week for the the tomahawk cut and they were out!!!! If you are in This part of Texas this is the only place to eat. read more

Cripple Creek Restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Del Rio, Texas

Service is good and the food is great. Very overpriced. The tables are close together so if you're looking for an intimate dinner this is not the place. Over all a good place to eat. read more

Normally I'd give it a five star rating. I've been here several times & have never been disappointed until this evening. I always get oysters on the half shell & they were surprisingly delicious (considering we're so far from the gulf). What was so disappointing was the bar tender. I ordered a beerita on the rocks. The first was on point. The second was AWFUL! Come to find out the bartender tried to make an "on the rocks drink" with the frozen margarita. Yuk! I sent it back & ordered a sprite in its place. Our waitress was top notch! Hopefully they hire a better bartender. Will definitely be back but WILL NOT order anything from the bar if this bartender is the one tending the bar. read more

Amazing food. Excellent customer service. Staff is extremely nice, very knowledgeable and very helpful.

Wow; something has definitely changed. We had the best experience. Four of us came out for dinner. It's clear they hired new servers. The food was great and the service amazing. Whatever y'all did to improve, keep this process going. It was perfect!! read more

Great dining experience! The Armadillo Legs and fried mushroom appetizers were fresh, hot and tasty. Our steaks were all cooked as ordered and very tasty. Our group had the sirloin, the bacon wrapped filet and ribeyes, all were excellent! Karina and her sidekick (didn't catch his name ) were terrific servers, so attentive, friendly and helpful! When in Del Rio, you gotta eat here! read more

The food was on point and super good! The service was great all the way up until the end of our dine in. The servers took forever to get us the check and the ambiance of the restaurant was comfortable but I could barely hear myself talk over everyone else in the restaurant. I also think that cripple creek needs to expand, add another room or a while outside area to fit more customers. read more

The service sucked and it took an hour to receive our salads. The waiter didn't even apologize or refill our waters. They never checked up on us..... The meat was dry. By far the worst service ever. I won't ever go back here again. read more

So I thought I had reviewed this place but I guess I've never take the time to do it. So here it goes. I have been going to cripple creek for over 12 years. I travel to work in Del Río about once a month and as many have said, it probably the nicest place in town. So overall, it's good nice sit down place and steak house. I have always said that the steak used to be much better before the place burned down and was reopened. So Cripple Creek is a good consistent place for streak, catfish, chicken fried steaks and good service. Over the last many years, I can always count on their steaks being good for it now being an elite steak house like you would find a big city. Their sides are good and their service is usually pretty consistent and good. Prices have gone up but consistent with the inflation we are seeing across every town and city across the US. If you are looking for a nice meal and consistent service and somewhere you know you are going to eat well and you're tired of the Mexican food, then is the place. Don't be expecting to have a great steak and be blown away by the food. This is going to be a smaller town restaurant that is going to have probably the best steak in town, good sides, and food service. This is not going to be Flemings, or Ruth Christs, Morton's, Shula's, Bob's Chop House or Del Frisco's. This is just going to be a good restaurant that you know you will enjoy your meal and if you are from out town like me, know you can unwind a bit, have a drink and steak and then get back to the hotel and feel good. So if you are passing through or staying here for a bit this is definitely going to be for you if you are looking for something consistent and not looking for fast food or Mexican food. read more

We were in town for one day only and looked at the Yelp reviews and decided to give them a try. I'm glad we did. The food was good and the service, even better. The chicken fried steak was a bit thick for me, but that is a personal preference. The batter was flavorful; nice and crunchy. And the mashed potatoes and gravy were excellent. The wife had the chicken fried chicken and LOVED it, as well as the mashed spuds and gravy. All in all a very good dinner. read more
