    Saturday special steak for 2.
    Donna B.

    First dining experience was awesome! Discovered the Saturday night special was steak for two. We ordered that with baked potato, side salad and fried okra. It was grilled to perfection accommodating medium and medium well. Best steak we have had in a while. Added perk was the butter toasted Texas toast! The servers were very friendly and efficient. Lots of seating area and tv in the back corner for sports. Will definitely return! Of note: BYOB welcome.

    Great chips and standard salsa.

    Stopped here while doing some Sunday driving around Texas to visit all the County Courthouses. Pepperbelly's is RIGHT across from the beautiful San Saba County Courthouse, so it definitely has the location. In fact, there are two very nice community parks a short drive away if you want to make it a take-out picnic like we did. I went with the three taco platter for a Sunday lunch. I kind of wish I had tried something else. It was good, but I'm sure they could have done better with something else. This was pretty standard fare sprinkled with highlights. It came with chips & salsa. The chips were good, but the salsa seemed like straight up Picante sauce (mild) or something. It worked for me, but it wasn't memorable. The platter came with a (lack of better word) adorably small dollop of Spanish rice. This was actually pretty good which made my disappointment in the quantity even worse. Perhaps they serve more if you dine in. Once again, they nailed the sides with the beans. Another great, flavorful side. The tacos were a disappointment. Once again, their wholesale distributor of food let them down with the crunchy taco shells. In Texas they have got to find a local provider. The meet & "fixings" were very good & flavorful, but the shell showed their fixation on cost. Good place and the BEST (only?) spot for a Sunday lunch in San Saba. Recommend, but consider it a good value for what it is.

    Good service always makes the food tastes better! I had the bowl of tortilla soup and I liked how the chips topped with cheese came separate. Tip: If a senior sopapilla come with meal!

    The service is top notch, #10 steak ranchero cooked medium rare will not disappoint. Pepperbelly's is BYOB. Saves you money to just bring it in. Their awesome breakfast is served saturdays only 7am-10:45am, but if you want to eat the best dang burger of your life this is the place. Don't forget to ask for "home fries" a fresh cut fried potatoe. Theres chicken and waffles, street tacos, chili rellenos, chicken friend steaks, sirlions, ribeyes, this place is full of deliciousness and the best and friendliest service.

    That WAS chicken fried steak, Spanish rice, retried beans and a Ceaser salad.

    I came for Mexican food, the special was Chicken Fried Steak. I can't pass up a hand made CFS, I wasn't disappointed. EVERYTHING was excellent, chips, salsa, beans, rice, even the water, seriously. My wife had chicken fajitas, also excellent. EAT HERE!!

    The service is usually very good and I have never had a bad meal here, whether it was mexican or American. It has always been really good.

    This is a good little place to eat if you are in the area. They have pecan cobbler that is to die for and good chips and salsa.

    El Frias has been in Lampasas for a year or so, but since we have four other Mexican restaurants, I…read morehaven't tried them yet. I arrived about 1:00 pm on a Tuesday. After the lunch rush there were only two occupied tables so I was seated immediately. The server led me to my seat, handed me a menu, and asked me what I wanted to drink. I chose water with lemon which was quickly brought along with chips and salsa. The salsa was flavorful and not too spicy. I ordered TexMex Enchiladas from the lunch section of the menu. My food was brought to the table surprisingly fast! The beans and enchiladas were hot. The rice was a little on the room temperature side but still warm enough not to complain. I finished my food pretty quickly and lingered a bit munching on chips and salsa. No complaints from the staff. I asked if they happened to have churros and they do! The server said that they come four churros to an order so I asked for an order for dessert. The churros took about 7 minutes or so to cook. They were served extremely hot since they just came out of the fryer. They were served on a plate arranged like a hashtag with five dollops of whipped cream. The plate was sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with honey. Each churro was filled with a cream custard. They were very tasty! Total came to $22 with tip. Not too bad these days!

    Service is horrible. No one to greet you or seat you. Very uninterested in helping you. There…read morewas no one there it was empty. One employee.
