The restaurant itself is nice, the decoration seems a bit odd but overall matches the atmosphere of the whole place. The restroom is what felt a bit disappointing, it's shared with the restaurant next door which is totally fine, but none of both stalls had functioning paper towel dispensers and both were also kind of messy. For a restaurant that aspires to give this high end image, they really need to work on details like this. 3/5. The food was good, I liked it and I think the portions were good too, however they felt a bit overpriced for what they offered, but that's only a matter of perspective, I guess. Like I said, the flavor was good. 4/5.

For the first time ever, I ordered a pork chop at a restaurant and it was delicious. The jalapeño Mac and cheese was the perfect complement. I actually liked that more than the Mac and cheese side dish. The potatoes with bacon and duck fat was our favorite side dish. Then to finish it off, we did the frozen peanut butter chocolate and bread pudding desserts that ended this experience in a high note. The one hour drive to come eat here was well worth it. Absolutely recommend this great place!

From the moment you arrive, it feels like you're out in the middle of nowhere--in the best way possible. The rustic atmosphere is incredible, and on the cool day we visited, they had a wood-burning fireplace going right in the middle of the dining room. It made the whole experience feel cozy and authentic. What really stood out, though, was the people. The service was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. I even had the chance to chat with a woman who's been working there for over 20 years--she shared some of the restaurant's history and how it's evolved over time, which made the visit even more special. For food, we started with the fried quail legs--perfectly cooked and seriously delicious (we could've easily eaten more). For the main course, I had the ribeye cooked medium rare, and it was spot on--full of flavor and didn't need a thing added. My wife went with the hamburger steak and loved it as well. Great food, even better people, and an atmosphere that's hard to beat. We'll definitely be back.

This place is the definition of small-town hospitality meets serious steakhouse…read more From the moment you walk in, you feel like you've stepped into a West Texas cousin's house... the cousin who can actually cook. The staff is friendly in that genuine, "How's your mama doing?" kind of way, and the service is as smooth as mesquite-smoked butter. The steaks? Listen. These folks know what they're doing. Perfectly seasoned, cooked exactly the way you asked, and big enough to make you question if you need lunch tomorrow. The sides are classic, comforting, and will absolutely ruin your ability to pretend you're "eating light." And don't skip the extras, whether it's an appetizer, a cold drink, a scooner or beer or dessert, everything tastes like someone back there cares way too much, in the best way. If you're anywhere near Ballinger, do yourself a favor and top in, loosen your belt, and enjoy one of the best meals in West Texas

Completely unexpected just a few miles from Camp Bowie. Reservations recommended. Came with a group and snagged half a dozen seats at the bar. Started with cocktails. Everyone was pleased.

Move along. Korean fried chicken is the bomb ! Get it. No regrets. As is the wedge. Pick a steak. Order it medium rare. It's truly that good. And, apparently, even if you aren't a fan of mac&chz - you can (and should) get it with seafood, steak, or that f'n delicious Korean fried chicken.

This hotel / bed n breakfast / fancy restaurant is a very interesting and nice blend of very…read morecountry and very nice. It would be like if you combined the Westin with a dude ranch with a Michelin restaurant. My group was there in January, so as you can see from the pictures, it was very dry/ brown, but im sure in the spring/summer it is gorgeous and green. The rooms are well appointed; the sunsets gorgeous. They have a lovely community porch/lookout area where you can sit wine or coffee and just soak in the scenery. They also have a community fridge for guests to utilize. There is a Nespresso in every room, as well as filtered water. They also have some very sweet farm animals (donkeys, horse, dog) that you can play with and pet. My only complaint about the rooms is that the showers have low water pressure. I assume this is b/c they are on different infrastructure than an "in the city" hotel. Not a big deal to most people, but i have long thick hair and so like strong water pressure to wash my hair quickly. As for the restaurant, it reminds me of a friendlier, more texas version of French Laundry (the famous restaurant in the Napa Valley area). There is a fixed menu of 5 courses, all of which were very tasty!! I would have liked bigger portions, but the quality was great. I greatly enjoyed the food, the other guests, and the nice but not invasive wait staff. The staff largely leaves you alone, so make sure to expect that when you stay here. They are not constantly bugging you or checking up on you. If you are looking for a lovely country getaway, do make the trip out to Coleman, TX, and spend a night or two at Ranch Loma!

Robert led us to our gorgeous king room where the most delicious yuzu margaritas, prepared by Laurie were waiting for us. We enjoyed relaxing with our drinks before dinner, taking in the beautiful landscape and visiting with the other guests. There are several very comfortable (and stylish) outdoor seating areas. Really, everything at Rancho Loma is comfortable (and stylish). Dinner was 5-courses of PERFECTION. I brought wine and my hubby brought a couple of bottles of beer which were kept cool until he was ready for them. Hubby was super impressed with the little pilsner glass with orange zest that Robert brought to the table for his beer. When I asked for bread, the waitress brought 2 freshly warmed slices drizzled with olive oil. (It's all about the little touches, you know.) I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite course, so I'll say it was a toss-up between the Lasagna Bolognese and the Akaushi strip steak. This was the first steak I've had in 8 months and boy was it worth it!! For breakfast, Laurie whipped up the best huevos rancheros in the world. SO fresh & delicious!
