We invited Cliff & Debra to join us for Dinner at "The WHARF", one of our favorite places in San…read moreAngelo. But first we met up at their house for drinks, chatted for a while, then off to Dinner. The Wharf is always busy, but last night we didn't have to wait for a booth. The Hostess showed us to our table, and our Server, Jade, came over to take our drink orders. I'm having a Jack-N-Coke, my Wife is going with just water. Deb ordered Wine and Cliff had his choice (unknown). The Wharf does a nice pour of Wine in your glass. While we waited for our drinks, we looked over the menu, trying to decide what to order from all the deliciousness they offer. Our drinks arrived, and we toasted to my Birthday. They make a mighty fine drink, no matter what you order. It's time to order our food. My Wife, Deb, ordered from the 'Reduced Portions Menu', their "Catfish" (blackened), with one side. My Wife went with Sweet Potato Fries, Deb with Baked Potato, and an extra House Salad. Cliff also ordered their Blackened Catfish, but from the regular menu. Comes with Two Catfish Filets, and two sides. Went with the New England Clam Chowder Soup and Cajun Rice. I usually get the Blackened Catfish from their regular menu, but this time I'm ordering from the Combination Menu, the "Steak & Chicken"; Top Sirloin & Teriyaki Chicken, Med-Rare on the Sirloin Steak, and a Caesar Salad. The Chicken comes with a Teriyaki Sauce. Orders are in, and we are enjoying their basket of Rolls with soft butter. Soon, the Salads and Soup arrived, and they all looked delicious. I am very impressed with the presentation of my Caesar Salad. It is a Beautiful work of art. I don't order a Caesar Salad that much when we go out because most places don't do Caesar justice. Caesar may have been killed by self-proclaimed "Liberators", but he left behind a great-tasting salad - and The Wharf serves that salad. It's actually one of the best I have ever had. I think Caesar was a Foodie and those others were just jealous. Anyway, Cliff loved his New England Clam Chowder, and Deb enjoyed hers as well. First round of food is gone and out comes our Main Entrees. All the Blackened Catfish looks Catfishlicious and they all confirmed that it is. It's Flaky with a Spicy kick-back. My "Steak & Chicken" combo also looks delicious with the Sirloin Steak glistening and ready to be cut into and the Chicken sitting atop the rice. I sliced into the Sirloin, and it's prepared perfectly medium-rare. It's also very Juicy and Tastylicious. The nice-sized Teriyaki Chicken also has a glistening to it, even without the Teriyaki sauce poured over it. The Chicken is also Tender and Tasty, and pouring more Teriyaki sauce makes it even more so. While we enjoyed our food, we told stories and chatted for some time. Jade checked on us often to see if we needed anything. She was also informed that it is my Birthday and we are looking forward to their "Turtle Pie" for dessert, which is a sinful creation made with an Oreo crust, Carmel, Pecans, Chocolate Ice Cream, and Cookies & Cream Ice Cream, topped with dotted Whipped Cream, drizzled with Caramel & Chocolate Syrup. I guarantee that no Turtles were harmed in making this pie. This Pie is enough for four people to share, and that's what we are doing. Since it's my Birthday, I requested a candle on the Turtle Pie. Jade went for the Turtle Pie and returned shortly with the Pie, four plates, and spoons. As I said, we are sharing this dessert because if it were a 'free-for-all', I'm sure my Lovely Wife would win. She loves this dessert and considers it one of the Best Ever - that's how good it is. This Turtle Pie is HUGE and stands tall on the plate. Jade said that they didn't have any candles, but instead she brought out a long lighter, as you use for a fireplace. She lit the lighter, held it over the Turtle Pie as everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. That was pretty cool. Now it's time to slice this pie. I cut off four pieces for us, leaving a piece left for seconds if anyone should want more. Each of the four pieces is still a good size due to this enormous slice of pie. We all dove into our slice and enjoyed one of the most creamy-est pies you will ever have. The Oreo crust had a nice sweet crunch to it, and the ice creams, along with the drizzled chocolate & caramel syrup, add that creamy sweetness to every bite. The pecans add that extra crunch when you're not drooling over the Oreo crust. We ate all that was on our plate, and I noticed several eyes eyeing the remaining Turtle Pie slice - and Cliff won out. He was the first, and last, to grab that remaining slice. After we all finished our meal and dessert, we chatted for some time. Jade is one Awesome Server and earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'above-n-beyond' the norm. She is funny, knows all about the foods at The Wharf, and is a pleasure to chat with. She is also very cute.

I asked for the crab to be served with garlic butter, but it came out with Cajun seasoning. I cannot eat spicy food, so I sent it back. They brought it back out about two minutes later, but as soon as I started eating it, my mouth was on fire. It was obvious that the crab had just been rinsed off and brought back out instead of being remade. When I mentioned it to the server again, they said they would remake it. Our server also told us the manager would come out and speak with us, but that never happened. Unless the lady who brought out my food the third time was the manager, no one identified themselves or said anything to me. I will say the food was good, and that is the only reason I am not leaving one star. Our server was very nice, but the kitchen service and management were terrible.

This place is the definition of small-town hospitality meets serious steakhouse…read more From the moment you walk in, you feel like you've stepped into a West Texas cousin's house... the cousin who can actually cook. The staff is friendly in that genuine, "How's your mama doing?" kind of way, and the service is as smooth as mesquite-smoked butter. The steaks? Listen. These folks know what they're doing. Perfectly seasoned, cooked exactly the way you asked, and big enough to make you question if you need lunch tomorrow. The sides are classic, comforting, and will absolutely ruin your ability to pretend you're "eating light." And don't skip the extras, whether it's an appetizer, a cold drink, a scooner or beer or dessert, everything tastes like someone back there cares way too much, in the best way. If you're anywhere near Ballinger, do yourself a favor and top in, loosen your belt, and enjoy one of the best meals in West Texas
