Prices are reasonable for the quality. The brisket was above average--not the best I've ever had, but the pork spare ribs are the star! The spare ribs are so tender and perfectly seasoned. I would probably just get those if I'm ever back again. Self-seating is available indoors and outside on the patio. Make sure you ask for bread, pickles, pickled jalapeños/onions, as they are complimentary. They also have water cups by the sauces (spicy or regular).

First off- the vibes/ ambience as the sun sets is unreal! I loved the views from the restaurant and really gave the Texas vibes we were looking for. Service was pleasant and timely which is always appreciated. I got a glass of wine and my husband got a beer. Food wise, I got the steak bites and absolutely loved them! So good. My husband got the Spicewood Philly and some wings. He enjoyed his food, as well. If you're in the area, I'd definitely suggest you stop by for a meal!

We were looking for a nice place to have dinner while staying in Alpine, TX. This fit the bill!…read more The restaurant is in a yellow house with an "R" at the top. There was an American Flag and a Texas flag flying out front. We walked in and waited for someone to greet us and seat us. After we were at our table, drink orders were taken. When our water was brought out, we were also given some Honey Pecan Biscuits with butter. They were warm and I liked the pecans in it! Hubby & I shared everything. We started with a cup of Jalapeño and Cilantro Soup. It's a cream based soup. I couldn't detect much of any heat from the Jalapeños and the cilantro was pretty much hidden. Maybe a sprinkling of fresh cilantro on top would have made it more pronounced. It also needed to be served hot. We then got the 14oz Ribeye which came with mashed potatoes & green beans. This was a great plate of food! It came out hot! The person who brought it out waited until we cut into it to see if it was acceptable. We've never had any staff person do that for us before! It was a little under done on one side, but the other was perfect. We almost finished the plate. It was delicious! Lastly, we got the Chocolate Bread Pudding Tamale. It comes wrapped in a corn husk that it is cooked in. You remove it and eat the bread pudding. It was gummy in a good way, as hubby described it. It needed the fresh strawberries & ice cream that came on the plate. We really enjoyed our dinner! Our server, Jordan, was very efficient & made it a nice experience! We probably won't travel this way again, but if we did, we would definitely return!

It was pretty much everything you'd hope for in a small-town restaurant in the heart of downtown. Locally owned, just the right amount of greasy-spoon charm, and so authentically West Texas that for a minute we wondered if they were about to serve us fried roadrunner with a side of coyote sauce. The place was filled with locals discussing Friday night's high school football game, which somehow made the whole experience even better. Overall, I'd give the food an 8/10, but we also didn't walk in expecting a fine-dining experience. This was clearly a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-eat kind of place. The brisket sandwich with jalapeño spread was very good. The brisket was chopped and covered in a tasty homemade sauce, while the jalapeño spread added the perfect amount of heat and a nice smoky flavor. It came with a side of hand-cut fries that were delicious. Our server suggested getting the fries covered in Hatch chile queso, and honestly, that may have been the star of the show. I'm not sure queso-covered fries are part of any recognized food group, but they should be. We also ordered the fried catfish basket, and it was very good as well. The fish tasted fresh, and the cornmeal batter was exactly what you'd expect from good Southern-style catfish. Even the house-made coleslaw was a pleasant surprise, which is saying something because coleslaw is usually the side dish everybody politely ignores. Service was exceptionally friendly, and overall, the stop was a success. I probably wouldn't plan an entire road trip around B's, but if you're passing through Fort Stockton, you're hungry, and you want some good, locally owned mom-and-pop food, this downtown staple is definitely worth a stop.

My husband ordered the bbq plate and it looked like something they served in heaven. It came with an apple cobbler. The cinnamon and nutmeg were so fragrant. And it melted in your mouth. What I liked about it was it was not too sweet. Perfect. His bbq plate looked delicious. The chicken thigh had a nice color, and great texture from the black pepper. It came with sausage and brisket, beans, and a jalapeño! Insanely good. I am so glad we stopped to eat here. I ordered a club with fries. They really underpromised and over delivered. I was expected a slice of deli meat but no, I was wrong. It was chopped chicken??? Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and perfectly buttered bread. And a lot of meat! You HAVE TO stop and eat here.
