The Water Stop? More like a quick stop for water -- because that's about all we stayed for. As one…read moreof only a handful of larger restaurants in Marfa, we expected a much more welcoming experience, especially considering the prices geared toward tourists. Unfortunately, this establishment did not feel family friendly or kid friendly despite presenting itself that way. After waiting around 10 minutes just for someone in our party to grab menus, we were eventually served water and later had our orders taken. However, the overall attitude and repeated glares from the waitress/bartender, Gary Jean, made the experience uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Good service goes a long way, and basic kindness shouldn't feel like too much to ask. It became clear that receiving decent service was going to be more effort than it should have been, so we decided to leave before our food even arrived. To management: supporting your staff better may help improve the customer experience overall. A little hospitality can make a big difference.

It's always a good sign when the parking lot is full in the middle of the week. Got a seat inside and waited. Then waited some more. The hostess seated a 14-top and we decided that we would leave if their orders went in first. BUT finally - a waitress. Friendly, though obviously harried by the unexpected mid-week bonanza. Drinks & food order in!! Margarita for me, Dos Equis for him, chili con queso, spicy chicken sandwich as shared plates. $22 marg was ABSOLUTELY worth it. Queso was SO good, with hefty chips made just right. Spice in the chicken - yes please. Did we wait, yes. Did we mind, NO. BEST PART - the people watching was PRIME. We could've passed another round & been entertained until closing but folks were waiting for tables and i was just buzzed enough on the ONE marg. Looking forward to tomorrow when we try a burger & cheesecake.

Everything was about as expected, though not quite as good as I would normally expect from a Subway. They only had White and Wheat bread when we stopped in. I'm not sure if that is a normal thing, but it seemed more like they didn't bother to make any than that they had run out of the other options. The staff was overall good. Not really friendly, and seemed a little overwhelmed even though it wasn't too busy. But they got our order right and everything was perfectly fine. I'd certainly never go out of my wait to stop here, but if you need a bite when you're driving through an area with very few options, this will fulfill the need.

At the time, we were the only customers waiting to be helped. The two employees working were making bread and chatting about their personal lives. After waiting about three minutes, a small petite girl (no name tag) came over, visibly annoyed, and said, "What do you want?" I politely responded, "How's your day going?" She replied "Good," with no eye contact and no further engagement, and just waited for me to order. I ordered two meatball subs -- one with extra cheese and both with extra sauce. She only put extra sauce on one and made the other regular. She asked if I wanted them toasted; I said yes. She never acknowledged the missing extra sauce on the second sub. She stepped away and another employee, Adrian, took over. I again politely asked, "How's your day going?" He responded, "Good, what do you want on the subs?" with a dismissive tone. I asked if I could get a side of marinara sauce. He said yes. When he finished wrapping the order, he asked his coworker (petite girl) for a side of marinara. She responded with attitude, saying, "Ew, why would you ask me to do that?" He then turned to me and said, "Sorry, we don't have any more." That response was dishonest and unprofessional. After paying, we sat down to eat. Shortly after, another employee came in -- possibly a lead or manager (taller woman). At that point, Adrian and the petite employee began openly talking badly about a coworker named Iris. They joked about how customers "walk all over her" and Adrian said, "I'd like a customer to try me on the wrong day," followed by laughter. The petite employee also mocked a Spanish-speaking family Iris had tried to help, making fun of both the customers and her coworker. It was disappointing and shameful to witness that level of immaturity and lack of professionalism. Extra sauce is not the real issue here -- it's the attitude, disrespect, and open mockery of both customers and fellow employees. That kind of behavior is completely uncalled for. hope management addresses this, because no customer should be treated that way.

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised yesterday. We could not find common ground on where to eat, so we decided to choose something new and were we ever grateful. Food is plentiful and had to bring half of each of our own serving. Great tasty and just plain good food. Keep up the good work and we will become regulars. Mary and Edward Dutchover. read more

Wow. Such a disappointment. Here from San Antonio...treating my wife to some glamping in Big Bend…read morefor her birthday, but staying at the Gage first. So, of course I wanted to treat her to a nice dinner. Reservation 6:45p. Seated almost immediately. Service fell off a cliff after that. We ordered the filet for two - $128 - 16 oz of filet - you share a Caesar salad - you share mashed potatoes and asparagus. Salad came out relatively quickly, and was huge. It could easily feed four. However, it was 7:40 before the meal arrived. At one point, one of the waitresses asked if she could bring us a dessert menu or our check. That's how long we sat there. We had to tell her we hadn't eaten yet. When the food did finally arrive, the steak was cooked unevenly and served almost cold, as was the portobello mushroom...which was dry and overcooked. Additionally, I'm not sure there were 16oz of meat on that tray. Totally irritating and not worth the money. No where near worth the money. The only reason they get two stars: the salad was actually pretty decent, as was the bread service.
