According to my son we need to drive all the way 4 hrs back to the Frio just to eat here!!! We were looking for something on the way home and this popped up. It had good ratings, even though the building looks like an old trailer home. A friend said "oh yes its sooooo good, we love it!" So in we went! Our group got a lil of everything to try. There was six of us total and we run around the table and gave our rating out of five stars and everybody gave it above a 4.5. Some of the food was fantastic!! -- recommend the chicken fried steak 100%, taco was good as well, rice and beans good!!! Enchiladas with CHILI GRAVY was good, but you have to request that - would not order it the way they serve it again though because they use like cream of chicken soup and it was awful. BBQ was good, sauce was good! My friend raves about the potato salad! Wouldn't get biscuits again, very dense and not really my fav, but saw other reviews loved it. Chorizo and egg was decent - cant really mess that up just wish for a softer tortilla Overall, we will definitely be stopping in here again. Next time we go to the river, but I would just stick to the barbecue and chicken fried steak because those were absolutely amazing. read more

As we walked in an hour prior to closing, we were greeted by the workers and customers. We walked up to the ordering area and were offered a menu. They i formed us of their specials which made ordering more challenging as it all sounded delicious. We decided to each order something and pick of each other. That was a good idea as everything was flavorvul and delicious. All food was served hot and quickly after seating. Everything was filling and we look forward to coming back on our next camping trip for lunch. read more

Found this little spot on our way home from Leakey, it is quaint and quiet. The service was very good and even though they did mess up one of our orders, they immediately let us know and corrected it. I was given the chicken fried steak on accident when I ordered chicken strips originally. However, this was a lovely surprise as the CFS ended up being so delicious especially when paired with the hand breaded onion rings. Everyone in our party (9 people) cleaned their plates, so I would surely say the food is stellar! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a while and so glad we finally made it over! My boyfriend had a plate of scrambled eggs, brisket taco, and barbacoa taco. His favorite was the brisket taco with the scrambled eggs coming in second. For myself, I order the R burger! It was absolutely delicious and easily makes the top of my favorite burgers list. The brisket/ grilled onions/ patty, cheese, and bbq sauce were perfect in each bite! The ladies running the show were awesome and worked together to assist all the customers. It's a quaint diner with tables and booths and I already can't wait to go back! Will for sure be trying the carne guisada (and still ordering the r burger). read more

Hole in the wall joint in Sabinal. Interior: cozy and old diner feel. No frills Food: BBQ is extremely dry and the brisket seemed to be precut and heated right after order; it is very sinewy and chewy. The sides are okay; they don't taste homemade to me. The burger is actually much better on the other hand. Would recommend the burger with fries as the thing to order here. read more

We stopped here on a whim for breakfast while passing through town after a weekend of camping, and it did not disappoint! The food was hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Just goes to show--you should never underestimate a little hole-in-the-wall spot. read more

Stopped in on our way home from Concan. Great food. Great service. Pulling an RV and plenty of space to park! We will come back the next time we float the Frio! read more

Stopped here for breakfast on our way home from the Frio and will plan to stop again next time - probably on the way in and going home! Kids had the Irma - with pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast. They said it was the best and still had pancakes leftover. Hubby and I got breakfast tacos. But the showstopper was the breakfast biscuit. DON'T sleep on ordering something with those biscuits. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Brought out chocolate syrup so my kids could make their own chocolate milk. Can't wait to head back to the river and try the Mexican food and BBQ they offer! read more

Hole in the wall as you are heading into Sabinal from Gardner State Park. Hours are 7am to 2pm seven days a week so good if you are coming or going to the park. They have a really good brisket burger, and beware it is huge!!!! read more

Breakfast biscuits are homemade every morning and some of the best I ever had!! I had mine as a egg, cheese and sausage sandwich. Very very good! read more

Outstanding! Made the drive down from camping in Garner, because of yelpers. Thanks folks. This place is all it should be. Brisket taco, bean and cheese, chorizo w/egg, cheese,& potato, Guisada taco. All were big grilled tortillas filled with greatness. Local to the core! read more

Good service and great tasting BBQ. Would recommend coming a bit earlier in the day to get the freshest cuts. We came in the last half hour ( we were aimlessly touring small towns and we're getting hungry when we saw they were open, didn't realize they closed at 2, so we had only 34 min left..this end of the day) so the brisket and sausage was a bit dry but the flavor was so good. Their bbq sauce tasted great too. read more

The brisket is a little too stringy but has a good smoke flavor. Smoke ring is pretty thick. The sausage also has great flavor. I'd definately stop by if I'm in the area read more

Stopped by on our way home from camping on the Frio. Place doesn't look like much from the outside, but the food was extremely good. Three members of the family had breakfast (pancakes, migas and breakfast tacos) and one kid had bean and cheese nachos and a burger. The tortilla chips and all made from scratch and super fresh. Will definitely make this place a regular stop next time we come through again. read more

We were heading home from a weekend at the Frio River and found this place on yelp. Great food and service! The breakfast was excellent!

This place should be on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives! Great prices! I would definitely pay more for how good the food was.

Was looking for a place to stop on the way home from Garner State Park. There aren't very many places to stop so we gave this place a shot! Food was delicious. They have a very wide menu ranging from BBQ to some Mexican dishes. Everything we got was great and the service was even better! This is always going to be our stop on the way home from Garner! read more

Great tacos and burgers. Great staff and atmosphere. Good bbq dishes also. Overall 3 stars

Breakfast tacos were delicious!! If you need breakfast going to garner state park, stop here!

When you drive by it really doesn't look like much but we were so glad we stopped there! The tea was fresh as well as the chips and salsa we ordered and it was delicious! The food was WONDERFUL and I am so glad we were hungry and stopped there on our drive! read more

I always pass by Sabinal, TX and see a sign that says bbq at 6am...well I decided to try it yesterday morning. The lady gave me a menu and said that she could make any breakfast taco I desired so I had her do a bbq brisket, potato, and cheese, which was not on the menu and was a weird craving I had but it came out great! The tortilla was Fluffy and the taco was packed well. Sometimes places put more potato than meat but this one she made has more meat in it. This place is actually listed twice on yelp. The other listing is under R Bar B Que. read more

I understand that being a food joint in Sabinal, TX must be difficult. Wanting to serve authentic southern-style food but lacking the population of a thriving city to make a restaurant really take off... Having any successful business located in this once healthy and populated, now-abandoned, blink-and-you'll-miss-it speed trap on US 90 is difficult these days. But a little effort on R's part would really go a long way. Other than a few select menu items, most of what's served here is prepackaged, frozen, from a can, etc. Hardly any real "homemade" type cooking goes on here. The lunch special can usually be trusted for a decent meal. And I'd stick to menu items that are based on the barbeque - it's not spectacular by any means, but again, decent. The rest of the menu is just too extensive for what little business this place gets. They really need to condense and just stick to a few things that they do moderately well instead of trying to appeal to every taste bud out there. I've heard reports that their enchiladas and sandwiches are alright. Just stay away from things like the burgers, chicken fried steak, chicken strips... they're all frozen. read more

Great food, accommodating for curbside which helps us out, great friendly staff. Entire family enjoyed every meal from breakfast to lunch items ordered. Will be back and highly recommend. Great for families and groups. Would recommend even calling order in ahead of time to take back to campsite. read more

The food was delicious- chicken fried steak and bbq. Kids liked that they served breakfast all day. We were thrilled that they had outdoor seating which allowed us to have our dog while dining. Also plenty of parking for our RV. read more

This place is our favorite spot to stop after a river trip or camping. Food is always fresh, friendly service and so many things to choose from on the menu.

I had the chorizo w/eggs plate. Plate also came w/refried beans and potatoes. The chorizo with eggs was delicious. The refried beans were a little salty. Flour tortilla was a little thick. Received one flour tortilla with plate. Asked for a second with no problem. I will definitely go back for breakfast. Super friendly atmosphere. Staff was very polite. read more

Too good! If we had this place in San Antonio, it'll be PACKED! Great service & the best sweet tea I've ever had, wow!

I respect Kristin's review back in 2010 but I must say my experience isquite the opposite!!! We loved the homemade food and couldn't get enough and had to make the drive back to have some more!! Simply delish!! The RBBQ burger is cooked to perfection and the home made potato salad is amazing! This little restaurant in the middle of this sleepy little hill country town is excellent! read more
