    The food was amazing! Place was packed so waiting time was a little long! Breakfast was soo good…read morehash browns were amazing!

    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.

    Cold beer! Cold beer! Ice cold beer! That's what this place is famous for:)…read more We were in town to visit my daughter and her husband and to see Tarleton State University play in the FCS playoffs. We needed some place to eat, and my daughter recommended this place. The location is easy to get in, and they have plenty of parking. After walking in, we found that they were not crowded yet. We were greeted quickly and taken to our seats in the main room. Our waiter brought us menus and water and left us to review the menu and decide on what we wanted. We ordered chicken sandwich, chicken strips. and a burger. It wasn't long until our food was delivered. Each order was just as we requested, hot, and tasty. It did not take long for our table to devour our meals I didn't get our waiter's name, but he did a good job. He probably is a student at TSU, as this business really caters to that crowd, and he fit the age. Will I return? Definitely when in Stephenville.

    We looked up dog friendly restaurants and Bosque River Taphouse comes up with a picture of a dog on…read morethe patio. We were refused service because our dog was not a service animal with a vest. If that had been what was advertised, we would not have attempted to dine there. The excuse was the turf and that they can't change what is advertised. Turf is often used for easy clean up with dogs. Outside patios that don't allow dogs will prevent customers from coming. If the rest of their service is like this experience maybe it saved us a bad meal. Also maybe this is why on a Friday night this place is half empty.

    When you arrive place your order at the register then find a seat. The crab has Fantastic flavor,…read moreamazing customer service! We will definitely be back.

    Decided to try out The Shack for a crawfish fix. It's early in the season but we wanted to check it…read moreout. There's not a lot of parking but we lucked out and got a spot up front. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is nice but we chose to sit inside because it was pretty chilly out side. When you go in there is a menu board directly in front of you and you place your order at the register. I placed our order for crab, shrimp, and crawfish for me and my husband, and chicken strips for our daughter. We took a seat and waited. When our order came out we were slightly underwhelmed by the crab clusters. They were $12.99 each and extremely small. Unfortunately they were also overcooked and the shells wouldn't crack, just bend. We moved on to the crawfish and the first impression was that they were okayish. Most of them were cold and overcooked as well. There was a good spice level but not a lot of flavor in the crawfish themselves. We realized that they forgot to give us our shrimp so my husband asked the girl at the register and they brought them out super quick. The shrimp were the best thing we had! They were hot when they came out and cooked perfectly! We had other items as well; corn, boiled potatoes, and sausage. The corn and potatoes were okay, just overcooked and the sausage wasn't anything special. Just sausage. My daughter did say that she enjoyed the chicken and fries that she had and she would order them again. All in all it was a disappointing experience. Our meal was $120 and not worth it. Like I told my husband, if it had been half the price it might have been easier to swallow. Right before we left an employee asked my husband how things were and he explained what the main issues were, she received the complaint and offered to bring out more crawfish but my husband declined as we were about to leave. I hope this was just an off night and not a common occurrence.

    Newton's has been our go to restaurant when we want to enjoy some delicious food. We normally only…read morecome here for dinner, which is when we had the ribeye and chicken fried steak! 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!!

    Country decor is fitting for the "cowboy chef" and the menu falls right in line. The chicken fried…read moresteak was great, sorta wished my grilled veggies and mashed potatoes was separated on my plate instead of basically mashed together under the steak and gravy. 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.
