We started with a 1/2 order of onion rings. Yes, my pic shows a 1/2 order! Totally crispy & delicious! I ordered the daily special (fried fish) & my husband had hamburger steak. The fish, hush puppies, & okra were perfectly fried. The Cole slaw was creamy & definitely homemade. My hubby loved his hamburger steak, gravy, & grilled veggies. Everything was cooked just right & tasted homemade. My lunch ended with a cupcake. Gotta love that! Lots of locals were eating lunch here. That's always a good sign. Super cute "farm" decor.

Perini Ranch Steakhouse is outstanding!…read more The 16-ounce ribeye was excellent. The beef quality was superb--thick-cut, tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned without overpowering its natural flavor. While the edges were cooked slightly beyond medium due to the uneven cut, that's a very minor critique. The grilled asparagus was delicious, and the green chile hominy was absolutely amazing. Overall, I would give Perini Ranch Steakhouse a 98 out of 100. The food, atmosphere, and quality were exceptional, making it one of the best of the steakhouses I've experienced.

I left Perini Ranch Steakhouse disappointed, especially given all the hype and glowing reviews…read more We were seated outside at 5 PM when it was about 95 degrees. The outdoor seating consisted of old wooden tables and benches that were uncomfortable, and the heat alone made it difficult to enjoy the meal. To make matters worse, we spent the entire dinner fighting flies. The steaks were around $50 each, and honestly, they were underwhelming. They lacked seasoning and flavor, especially for the price point. I've had better-seasoned steaks at Texas Roadhouse and Outback for roughly half the cost. The sides were equally disappointing: bland, uninspired, and forgettable. The bread pudding was decent and was probably the best part of the meal. Overall, the combination of uncomfortable outdoor seating, excessive heat, flies, and mediocre food made for a frustrating experience. I had heard so many great things about Perini Ranch Steakhouse and expected something special, but it simply didn't live up to the reputation.

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

My family couldn't have had a better experience at Cork & Pig today…read more We were in town for a funeral and our dinner plans fell through. I called Cork & Pig to ask if they could accommodate our party size within 10 minutes of arrival. When we got there, they already had a table ready for the 12 of us. Service was excellent - all entrees came out together, the menu offerings all sounded delicious and everything delivered in execution and flavor. I especially enjoyed my ahi tuna salad, which was so fresh and balanced. They even were so kind as to give us complementary beignets for the table.

Silver Spur is FANTASTIC! I visited on a whim when driving through Menard (most places were closed…read morebecause it was Easter but they were open) and had the best experience... service was great, food was delicious, portions were huge, and price was reasonable. FAST FACTS: * Parking - some spots right out front * Closed on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday * Check their Facebook page for events, specials, and more PRICING - The total was $50.65 after tax ($4.52) but before tip for an unsweetened tea ($2.79), chips and queso ($9.19), grilled chicken sandwich ($12.19), chicken fried steak ($19.49), and mint chocolate chip ice cream cake ($6.99). I think the pricing is VERY reasonable for the food quality and portion size. CHIPS AND QUESO (8/10) - Fantastic appetizer for the table to share for cheap! You get a mound of thick tortilla chips (or pork rinds), a skillet of green hatch queso topped with some fresh pico, and a smaller side of a thick salsa. I'd order this again! GRILLED CHICKEN SANDWICH (9/10) - Massive sandwich with a huge pile of shoestring fries (or tots) on the side. The bun is fluffy and nicely toasted, the grilled chicken breast is seasoned well, and you get fresh spring mix, tomato, pickles, and onion piled on top with honey mustard. I'd order this again! CHICKEN FRIED STEAK (10/10) - One of the best chicken fried steaks we've had! It's a huge portion of steak (8 oz) topped with peppered gravy, two sides of your choice, and a roll... everything was seasoned well, fresh, and delicious! I'd order this again! MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE (9/10) - The desserts vary but this ice cream cake was fantastic! The level of mint was perfect and it was a good size piece to share at the end of an already very filling meal. I'd order this again! Honestly, there was nothing I didn't enjoy at Silver Spur! Obviously I'm not a local (you can tell it's the type of place where everyone in town hangs out) and just happened to stumble across it while traveling through but I will 100% stop by again when I'm in the area! Absolutely fantastic and filling meal for a very affordable price with those hometown Texas vibes that are always appreciated! Special shoutout to our server, Dana, who took great care of us from start to finish!

We went in around 2:30 pm on a Sunday…read morein July....First, the two of us just stood there in the "wait to be seated" area for a good 5-8 minutes, watching the three or four groups of people eating their lunches. All the stunning reviews made me feel very comfortable stopping here. I hate to be the naysayer. (I contacted the restaurant first about this: no reply. Customer service must not be a big thing for them, I guess?) My son went to find someone....There were more than a few people working, all just chatting, no one watching the door. It doesn't matter to the story, but still makes a difference to us- my adult son has debilitating scoliosis. You can't tell by looking at him, but he has four pronounced curves. 30 -60 degrees. They are symmetrical so he looks "normal." Those curves squish his stomach down, so he can only eat once a day. I ordered the ribeye sandwich - we waited about 20 minutes after ordering before our two sandwiches came - it came in big chunky bits with a lot of fat. A bit salty, quite chewy, but ok. Disappointing for sure. My son's burger was red and raw in the middle, full of grease, stale bun, grainy tomato, tons of old lettuce, and flavorless patty. It made him gag. He tried to push through and couldn't. He never complains. He ran to the bathroom three times throughout the meal because of it. Now, our waitress was awesome. Apologetic, attentive, and super positive. Very sweet. However, there was another waitress with a skin tight sleeveless sea green top, brown wavy hair piled on top of her head who called my son rude, loudly, after he gagged in the bathroom, and was rude to him when he told our waitress the food was inedible. She made a bad situation worse. We waited 10 min to be seated, then at least 20+ minutes for a fatty salty sandwich and a tasteless burger, and barely cooked fries. I'll attach the pics, I wish I had taken a picture of the three or four uneaten fatty "ribeye" steak bites I left on my plate. In summary: poor customer service, old ingredients, small portions, big prices, not well-made, or according to all these other awesome reviews, at least not consistently well cooked.
