It was a mid morning with plenty of parking spaces and was quickly seated inside. Magoo's is a straight-up Tex-Mex diner with great options to choose and a friendly atmosphere inside. The waitress offered an "off-menu" option after an inquiry about a carne asada burrito. I took it and what arrived was carne asada in a red sauce, scrambled eggs, refried beans with two tortillas. Definitely a crowd pleaser with Magoo's food, and what I wanted was there all along but I had to ask for it. Perfecto!

I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and the smoked quail. The soup was served with the garnishes in the bowl and the broth poured from a kettle at the table, which was a fun presentation. The quail was also well plated and tasty. Overall, I enjoyed both the food and the presentation. If you're in Alpine or passing through (like I was on the way back from Big Bend NP), this is a great place to stop and grab a meal.

The ambiance was old-fashioned (very cute), and our server has been super nice and friendly. The food, on the contrary, was a complete disappointment - spicy margaritas were just ok (not good and not bad); cilantro japalapeno soup had a good flavor but no cilantro or jalapeno was found in it, and it was not spicy at all. Carne asada was dry, overcooked and not fresh, and so was rosemary chicken dish - chicken was pan fried and a bit greasy, but at least fresh. Mashed potatoes were a couple days old and hard as a brick. Steak was overcooked, and we have returned it. The only reason I would give Reata three star is our awesome waitress - she has been the highlight of the experience.

If you have never heard of the movie, that is a lot of their problem. The hotel and restaurant are resting on their laurels from a movie from the 1950s. If you took a date to see Giant when it first came out, you probably need food you can gum. We were here two years ago and had a good experience so we came back and were sorely disappointed. Service was appallingly slow because there was one waitress (who was great) for the entire restaurant and patio. There was one bartender. Very short-staffed. We had drinks and chips and salsa on the patio before moving inside for dinner. Entrees on the menu were chicken and veggie burgers (no beef?) and chicken was out. The other entrees were the pistachio-crusted steak (basically fancy chicken fried steak) and a ribeye. They were out of the pistachio-crusted steak. So, it was a veggie burger or a ribeye. No chicken dishes, no fish, no pasta. A frozen veggie burger or a $45 ribeye. We started with a a charcuterie board which was tasty but not very generous. The ribeyes were served on mashed potatoes and very good, but there was no vegetable, no bread - just steak and potatoes. I don't mind the price of the steak but part of that price is service and if there is one server for an entire restaurant and the patio, the service is not going to be that good, and it wasn't. Drinks were not refilled, dessert wasn't offered (they might have been out!), so it was eat and run. So, staffing issues, inventory management issues and a restaurant that had a number of customers to serve so they should do better. Much better.

The staff is friendly, but twice during our dinner the host interrupted our group's conversation with incidental small talk. The host also took photos of our table for the "night manager to see how busy we are". The host did this without asking for permission. Our server was more engaged than intrusive, friendly and helpful. The kitchen and bar were on the slow side, and unfortunately the food/drinks were not exceptional enough to offset the delays.

The space itself is super cute with a warm, inviting atmosphere, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. You can tell right away it's a place people genuinely enjoy working at. They open at 5 and don't take reservations, so be prepared--the line was already stacked when doors opened. We were able to snag seats at the bar, which ended up being perfect. We started with the deviled eggs, which are soaked in beet juice and have this subtle curry kick--such a unique twist and definitely worth ordering. Next was the roasted cauliflower, and wow... perfectly charred with a hot honey drizzle that brought everything together. Easily one of those dishes you keep thinking about after. For the entrée, I had the salmon with a curry slaw, and it was exceptional. Everything felt thoughtfully put together and full of flavor without being overcomplicated. Overall, such a great experience. If you're in Marfa, this place is 100% worth checking out. Would go back in a heartbeat.
