My salad
Tony S.

Being my last night in Texas (and probably the last time to boot), I wanted a good steak dinner. The name, Iron Skillet restaurant, was tickling the back of my brain. But, after 453 miles of driving today, I'm a little fuzzy brained. And, it wasn't until I got there, and saw that it was located in a truck stop, that I realized it was a chain restaurant vs an independent. Well, since I was already pretty hungry, I decided to give it a go. I ordered the petite sirloin, medium, with baked potato and sour cream, along with the salad bar. On the salad bar, everything was fresh and crisp. The balsamic vinaigrette dressing was very good. My server, Barbie, was very polite, despite being harried, as a place was quite crowded. When my meal arrived, the steak was cooked to perfection. However, the garlic toast was barely above room temperature. And baked potato, was a bit tough. Too bad they don't serve wine. It would have improved the meal. Also, while the steak was good, it did have a few tough spots in it. But, for $11.69, one cannot expect a 5 Star meal.

Shrimp basket!

We went to Iron Skillet in WEATHERFORD Texas it was great. Food was good and reasonably priced. My 10 year old had spaghetti. (He cleaned his plate) My mother had the shrimp basket which was wonderful and I ate the buffet with absolutely no complaints food was great. It was very clean. Service was phenomenal with Sierra as our waitress she was so up beat and bubbly continually asking if we needed anything and always with a smile. I haven't had that kind of service in upscale restaurants! 5 from me!

I would like to personally thank Mesquite Pit for taking me on an emotional journey I did NOT sign…read moreup for. Picture this: I'm craving prime rib like it's my last meal on earth. I do the responsible thing and CALL AHEAD like a civilized human being. "Do y'all have prime rib?" I ask. "Yes," they say--with confidence. With conviction. With what I can only assume was zero verification. So I drive my hungry, hopeful self all the way there, already tasting that juicy, perfect bite in my mind... only to be told: "Oops, no they told you wrong, we dont have prime rib " Oops? That's not a minor inconvenience. That's betrayal. That's psychological damage. That's me sitting there questioning my life choices while staring at a menu I no longer trust. No apology worth mentioning, no effort to make it right--just vibes and disappointment. If you're going to crush someone's dinner dreams, at least have the decency to do it over the phone so I can cry in my car at home instead of your parking lot. 10/10 for building anticipation. 0/10 for delivering anything resembling prime rib. Would I come back? Only if I'm emotionally stronger.

Great burger spot with option for gluten free buns…read more Food: I got the Guac Burger and it was excellent. You can actually taste the flavor of the meat instead of it just being lost in toppings. The gluten free bun was a pleasant surprise too; it held together really well and didn't fall apart like most do. Fries were tasty and well seasoned. Prices: It wasn't bad at all. $20 for the burger (with the gluten free bun upcharge) and a drink felt fair for what you get. Service: Good when my waitress was around. She was friendly. Just wish she'd checked in a little more often. Environment: Nice patio for when the weather's good, and the inside has a cool vibe. You can tell it gets packed though, so definitely make a reservation or go early if you can. Will for sure be going back. Biggest issue was parking. It's on the edge of downtown Weatherford, so good luck finding a spot around meal time

The rumors are true Rio Brazos Grill is fantastic. Not "good for a small town," not "surprisingly…read moredecent" just flat-out good. The kind of place where it's immediately obvious someone in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing, which already puts it ahead of most restaurants pretending to. The meal starts strong with flash-fried calamari Fresno chilies, sweet chili sauce, balanced heat, and a clean execution. It comes as strips, which feels a little safe. Rings or whole baby squid would've shown more technical confidence, but fine the flavor still delivers, and at the end of the day, that's what people actually remember. The Calabria chili shrimp follows with the same sense of control: spicy, but not trying to prove a point. Paired with grilled baguette, it does exactly what it's supposed to do support the dish instead of getting in the way. And then there's the Chicken Fried Ribeye, which sounds like a bad decision until you eat it. Crispy on the outside, rich and tender underneath, covered in black pepper gravy with buttermilk mashed potatoes, a potato nest, and because apparently restraint is optional--two fried quail eggs. It's excessive, but not stupid. That's a very fine line, and they walk it well. Chef Clint Connaway clearly has classical training--nobody just stumbles into a proper beurre blanc. The menu pulls from Southwestern, Native American, Mexican and French influences, which should feel chaotic but somehow doesn't. It works because the execution is consistent, even when the ideas get a little ambitious. That said, the place isn't perfect. The quail eggs show up so often they start to feel less like a signature and more like a habit. And for all the technical skill, there's a noticeable lack of local identity. With Bosque Ranch right down the road, it's hard not to wonder why more local beef isn't front and center. A stronger focus on seasonal or locally sourced ingredients would push this from great to something more grounded--something that actually tastes like where you are. And then there's the obvious question: why no brunch? A kitchen like this could absolutely dominate a brunch service. Instead, it's just... not happening, which feels like wasted potential. Still, none of that changes the core truth. The food is thoughtful, the technique is real, and most importantly you leave feeling satisfied instead of questioning your life choices. That alone is worth something.

The chopped steak comes with brown gravy, mushrooms, and onions. I also ordered a Caesar salad and a glass of unsweetened tea. The wait staff were pleasant. My friend requested the onions on the side and asked that the onions be cooked a specific way. The server wrote everything down. Unfortunately, my Caesar salad arrived soggy, and my friend's order was incorrect. It seemed as though the kitchen did not carefully read the ticket. This has now happened twice in the past month(s). My friend mentioned the issue to the wait staff, and we were told it would be corrected. However, the order never came back at all with it properly fixed. We left a gratuity, though we reduced it this time due to the repeated mistakes. This experience upset my friend and business partner, and we did not have time to wait for further explanations. Because this has now happened twice, I lowered my review from five stars to three. Details matter, especially during business lunches or any time. I hope they address and correct these issues soon.
