The pancakes were sweet where you might like them without any syrup, but not overly sweet at all and the nice crispy surface on the bottom of the pancake made for a great texture that app not had before and loved! I wish I had her name but our waitress was very nice and gave great service with a big smile. I can see why the place is popular with the locals. They also do a buffet if you are looking for that. I ate it up so fast that I forgot to take a picture for this review.

Stopped in for lunch while traveling through town. We were looking for an old-fashioned, Texas café…read moreand this is it. We shared a chicken-fried steak, which was good. The mashed potatoes, gravy and fried okra were really tasty. The service was friendly and attentive. In case you're interested, I guess they have a buffet every day. I looked at it before we ordered. There was spaghetti, chicken-fried chicken, and fried catfish. They have two or three of the typical buffet vegetables along with a salad bar. All of the things on the salad bar looked fresh, but they had those little red BB's that are a substitute for bacon bits. That is classic West Texas, small town salad bar right there. Made me smile (though I did not eat any of them). :-) We would certainly come back here and try some of the other fare. I hope the good folks of Childress,Texas continue to support this family restaurant.

BUT, we really wanted to like this place and we have tried to give it a shot a couple times, even after saying we dont need to go back. The food is OK, everytime we have ate here we wait and wait for our food. The service is absolutly atrocious. On more than one occasion, we have had exceptionally rude waitresses to the point where the whole table is uncomfortable - thats why we wont be back, sadly.

Wrap me up in this burrito everyday... the sequel!…read more As we knew we'd be driving through Childress, we planned our timing around making sure we could stop here for breakfast. Again, we opted for the combination burrito which had sausage, chorizo, bacon, potatoes, cheese and beans all wrapped up in a HOMEMADE tortilla. The tortilla is one of my favorite parts as it's chewy, soft texture and slightly earthy, mildly sweet taste complements the filling to a T. You have the option of red or green (or both) salsas on the side. They are smaller containers of salsa so I'd get two of the kind you want. Fair warning, the green is a one-two-punch with heat! Again, it was BURRITO-FUL! As I stated in my first review, the staff is just the kindest! We had a great little convo with them before being handed our breakfast burritos. (: It's still the best road trip stop we've found! Can't wait to visit again... and again... and AGAIN!

We were greeted with a "Come on in and grab a seat," which we did picking up menus on the way…read more The menu offers a variety, including the obvious steaks and burgers, but also Mexican favorites, salads and even breakfast choices. Our ribeye was amazing, marinated in spices and cooked to perfection. We chose the two included sides and ours were a loaded baked potato and string beans. Because we shared the 12 Oz steak, we added a side and chose grilled zucchini. All were grilled in real butter, except of course, the potato. And even though our amazing, cheerful server, Joey, assured us real butter in the grilling, the loaded potato's condiments were real sour cream, real bacon bits, chives and for some mysterious reason little butter/looking tubs of dreaded "vegetable" oil. When we mentioned this to Joey, she shared our surprise and immediately offered to replace the whole side, which we declined, simply scraping off the fluffy yellow, heart-damaging, pretend oil. Joey even checked with the chef before we had to ask about dessert options and was happy to report safe choices were all butter coconut cake and vanilla ice cream. We're not trying to be difficult, just healthy. And with servers like Joey, there's hope that people are becoming aware. In any case, with the exceptions mentioned, a good steakhouse like Mesquite Canyon is always a good bet for the health conscious. The restaurant isn't fancy, has a sunny back area for dining away from the darker bar area, and even offers some tasty local beer.
