Friendly, fast service in an interesting historic building, plus a nice variety of really good food!

Off the rip: bad service. Now, it was Friday at 12:30 but still. The vibe started strong & potential for a great meal was there, but the service was rough, also a bit slow for a lunch. After 20 mins of waiting for drinks (a keg blew and nobody got drinks despite only needing that one beer for 1 of us) and 10 to take our order, and then another 20 for the actual meal, I can say the food was really good. I had the fried fish basket and fries, each crispy and well seasoned. We are just here for the weekend but probs won't be coming back read more

Best burgers I've ever had! Buns had wonderful flavor and were toasted to perfection! Definitely plan to return!

3.5 We stopped here after seeing the POW camp museum. We got a table right away and had our orders in pretty fast. There was a bit of a wait but not terrible. The server was nice and the food was good. I got the chicken breast which was really moist and after some back and forth, did get sweet potato fries. The coleslaw was a bit mid but not terrible. My friend got the pork chop and really liked it. read more

Wings were mid Lemon pepper seasoning feels like there isn't any flavor Wings are very very oily but the food is for later so maybe it'll be better in a few hrs.. service was good place looks nice though read more

We stopped by when driving through Hearne, we had never been here before. I promise we will definitely be back. The food was amazing and the service was great. My husband had a steak and it was perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked to order. I had the grilled chicken nachos and the chicken on the nachos was so tender and flavorful. Our waitress was friendly and charismatic. The atmosphere was great and the place was clean. We cannot wait to come back and try something new! read more

We visited last night and had the burger combo and onion rings. All was very good! Hamburgers were cooked perfectly. Our server was great! The place is casual. We will be back read more

Always good food. Great margaritas! Fast friendly service. Ask about the history of the building. Fascinating!

Very good food and quick friendly service most every time. Great lunch specials too..

The food was really good. The service was amazing. The price was on par for the food we got. The restaurant was quiet until we got there with our grandson, but the waitress loved it. We will definitely go back read more

Located in the old Hearne Post office this pretty little restaurant fits the building so well. With a great selection of alcohol to support the bar the atmosphere is friendly with great service. The food is amazing definitely recommend spud Wednesdays with a great deal on baked potato's; the boneless wing one is great and can choose any of their flavors. Definitely worth a stop when passing through, with a growing town around might be worth a stay. read more

Great food and excellent service! So glad we stopped here on our way through town. Our waitress was fantastic. Our daughter is still recovering from a stomach bug and the waitress made her the cutest plate of crackers and toast. I had the burger basket (special on Friday)! Burger was one of the best I've had in a long time. Great flavor without being overly greasy. Husband had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. All were good! This is such a cute place! Love the historic charm of the old post office building. Stop here if you get the chance! read more

Amazing find on our road trip. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly and courteous, and the historic building was full of interesting artifacts. Will definitely be making another trip there. read more

The first time I went, this place was awesome. The bar staff were attentive chatty. The food was great. The second time I went. I was treated poorly and rudely and it seem like I was inconveniencing the bar waitress when I asked about the wings she said, haven't you ever had barbecue before?? It was next to impossible to get another drink, because it was impossible to get her attention .... The food was still pretty good. I don't know if I'll give this place another shot. You're probably better off going to the wonky donkey. read more

Old Post Office turned into a restaurant. Nothing fancy but the food was good! Got the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and the broccoli cheese casserole. My waitress was very nice and attentive so I would rate the service as good as well. I was in Hearne for business and would definitely stop into this restaurant again read more

Great burgers. Glad I read the reviews and saw that the negative reviews had nothing to do with the food or service because these burgers were great. The patty itself wasn't special but the bread and everything on it made up for it and the service was great. read more

Pony Express is built in an old Post Office and still has some elements of the old building. Burgers were excellent and our waitress was so sweet and great with our kiddo. If we lived in Hearne we'd definitely make this a regular spot! read more

Great food, off the path in a small old downtown area. Looks to have been an old bank previously. The Philly cheese steak was awesome! Parmesan fries were great! read more

What a great unexpected find in town! Great bar and grill space with a super menu! Carla was incredible and makes a mean Key Lime pie! Our meal was tasty and the beer was ice cold! read more

Helpful staff. Delicious ribeye burger. Loved the bun too. Husband and granddaughter loved their burgers too. Will be back. Thank you!

the staff was very friendly and accommodating. It is in a great location in old downtown.

Great newish bar to the area! Lots of good food, drinks and opportunities to play pool! Lots of great appetizers and main courses. We had fun playing pool and working through the menu. Looking forward to going back for a band (our primary purpose). Cool reuse of the building - Old Post Office! Great wait staff! read more

Please don't give your business here. I was employed here for about 2 days and never received any training whatsoever, just thrown right in even before i filled out proper paperwork. The manager Dylan treated me with such hostility yelling at me, calling me harsh names and telling customers not to tip me because i was having a hard time keeping up (considering they didn't train me at all) I couldn't believe how unprofessional this place was. I ended up walking out because of how cruel he was being to me.. even some of the customers couldn't believe it telling me that it was insane how he was speaking to me. The sad thing is that his Aunt and Uncle own it so he will never be let go as he has supposedly chased off more employees than just me. I called the Owner to notify her of why i left immediately and there was absolutely no remorse and no surprise that her manager was treating his co workers like that. Any place ok with this should not be serving the public. read more

This place has amazing food go check it out the wings are my fav I think the buffalo bone in is the best, what I'm trying to say is this place is good in common and I highly recommend it, bring your family and friends, I love this place. read more

Loved this place! One of the best burgers I've had. Beef is fresh and seasoned perfectly. The good and friendly service as well as the history behind the place makes it all come together for a good dining experience. Will certainly stop here again on our way to Dallas/Ft. Worth. read more

Pony Express Bar and Grill - a table and chairs - American Near Me - Hearne, Texas

I love when old buildings are repurposed back to life! Recently opened, so very busy! Pool table at the back, darts, and karaoke/dj music when we were there on a Sat night. Corn hole outside with music playing. Full bar inside and a few beers on draft and more in bottles. Hubby had a cheeseburger and said it was great, fresh patty. I ordered a grilled chicken salad, but ended up with a chef salad. It was very good (they were busy since newly opened and I allow these errors during this time!) Loved the honey mustard dressing, definitely homemade! read more

Great food! Fast, good service. Not too many places in the area but this one never disappoints!

Marilyn gives great service. Busy place but friendly faces. Food to die for. Ambiance like Cheers . Owners are hospitable. Best kept secret in Hearne. So the buzz is out. Go there! read more

This place has a neat atmosphere. Great variety of good options for lunch and/or dinner. Everyone will find something they want.

Passing thru Hearne ate lunch at Pony Express. We like old buildings and this used to be a post office. Food was very good, I had the Philly Cheesesteak and husband had the ribeye sandwich. Their buns are very good, fresh, both were cooked perfectly. We will put them on our list to visit again. read more

My wife and I stopped here for lunch last Tuesday. We both enjoyed a burger with fries. The burgers were so tasty and well prepared. The service was friendly and attentive. We were very pleased to find such a great lunch option! read more

Cool old Post Office turned into a fun restaurant. Had a hamburger and onion rings. Wow- they were both amazing! Best rings we have had in a while. And to top it off GREAT Service!!! Make this your stop next time you are in the area. read more

Passing through from Dallas - if you want a FANTASTIC burger, stop here!!! Wow! The beef was INCREDIBLE! Huge patty - probably a 1lb burger with fresh ingredients and delicious brioche bun. Huge and awesome battered onion rings. The LARGEST baked potato you'll ever see! The baked potato with chicken, cheese, and the works was simply awesome - it could literally feed 4 people. Price for 2 of us was about $30, but well worth the fresh food. It doesn't look like much on the inside but if atmosphere doesn't matter and you want really good food, stop here! read more

I'm so glad we stopped here for lunch on our road trip. The service was great, good music, not too loud, the beers were cold and the food hit the spot! Generous portions and tasty appetizers! It was a great lunch stop on our way across the state, but imagine it would be even more fun at night! read more

Found this place by accident (took a wrong turn). Glad I did. Great food, super service
