We Arrived on the patio by the baseball field with 2 dogs at 12:37. There was one other table on the same patio. After ten minutes of no one coming by, my husband went inside to ask for service. They told him we were supposed to go inside to be seated but gave him silverware and said we'd be helped soon. He also asked for a water for our dogs at this time. There were no signs on either patio stating please wait to be seated or such. We thought because you know, Heath codes, we couldn't go inside the restaurant with our dogs. Fine, our mistake for not seeing the hostess first. Regardless, twenty more minutes go by without anyone coming to our table so again my husband goes inside to just place a Togo order instead since obviously we weren't going to be served. They gave us 2 sparkling waters on the house for our troubles, but still no water that we requested for the dogs. (We got our own bowl and water from the car since it was clear we wouldn't receive any). My husband was told they'd bring the Togo order out to us. After 40 more minutes of waiting for our Togo order, my husband went inside again to use the bathroom and then check on the order. It took ten minutes of him trying to get someone's attention for one waitress to finally tell him that the kitchen was now apparently backed up. At this point he asked for our order to be canceled and refunded. The waitress got the manager who came out and without saying a word to my husband or making eye contact, clicked buttons on the machine to do the refund, then when she finished she only said the refund would be there by midnight tonight. Obviously our order wasn't even close to being made (if it was even put in at all) as she gave no indication of it being "almost ready" and instead immediately gave a refund. During all of this, there were two couples waiting up front for a table for the same amount of time, and both couples ended up leaving because they hadn't been seated. It's Labor Day and I understand they might've been short staffed, but they weren't near as busy/near capacity as I'm sure they are during Tarleton move in week, graduation, baseball, etc. If they were short staffed or the kitchen was backed up, why not mention something like that during the first two times my husband had to go inside for service. Even short staffed places could send someone by to bring waters. (Montana's was short staffed last night and they checked on us plenty.) The manager who refunded us even walked right next to our table on the patio and got something out of a building/office. She knew we were there, waiting, with no food. And again, didn't say a single word to us. We didn't even mind waiting, but simple communication and/or sending someone out to check on us would've gone a very very long way. read more

This local college town bar is very cute! Tons of purple (of course) and some blue for the local high school. Servers are def some local college/town adults. My friends ordered burgers (and one country fried steak) and I also should have ordered a burger. They had long cut pickles and some really good fries. They looked juicy and fresh and I totally envied them. My Mama's Mac and Cheese was very under whelming. Bland. Needed salt and pepper to make it slightly more enjoyable. I also ordered the biscuits and gravy. The sausage gravy was amazing and so was the first biscuit. My second biscuit was under cooked ): Next time I'll get a burger haha read more

It's a fun place to say you have been and it's great for the ball teams that play in the back. Places for all ages to play and run around. Great family place if you need your kids to burn off some energy. But don't go for the food. Typical bar style type of food that's not that great read more

Some of the best fried catfish we've ever had. The owner came out several times to check on us and delivered our food. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this place! Great patio and dog friendly! read more

Highly recommend!! Great catfish and awesome Texas atmosphere. Made me want to move back to Texas!

Wife had the G.O.A.T breakfast. Said it was very good. I had the Farmers Market breakfast which came piled in a bowl which made it almost impossible to eat from. So I dumped it on the tray. It came a 1/2 avocado which was unnecessary. Drinks were good and large. Service was excellent. The Farmers Market dish dropped the experience to four stars. It should be dropped from the menu. Would come again. read more

This place has a really awesome vibe. The dog friendly enclosed "patio" area is really nice. We were driving through stephenville with our dogs and needed somewhere to stop for lunch. The two girls were working the bar and waiting tables AND busing tables. They kicked butt and took good care of us despite being really busy. I ordered a hazy magnolia beer and it was SO FLAT. My husband ordered a blue moon pint and it wound up being almost $9... which is wild to me. I ordered the bbsalad which included 4 smaller wings and a large salad with blue cheese and bacon. It was a decent portion size for $16.50 but still a couple dollars over priced in my opinion. My husband got a sliced brisket sandwich which was super dry. So food and pricing... eh... vibes and service... awesome. read more

This is a case of missed opportunities, and way too high a price for what's served. We have been coming to the Purple Goat off and on for a couple-three years, but every trip we are less and less impressed. My go-to burger is a bacon cheeseburger. By the time they added the bacon and cheese. and the very high add-on surcharge for onion rings, the meal ended up $5 more than the identical, but better, one we get at another restaurant. That's a 25% difference. One somewhat recent visit they charged me full price for a side of rings, instead of the add-on price, but I still got just the add-on portion. Service has become spotty. We may not see our server for the bulk of the meal, keeping drinks refilled is a matter of luck, and getting the check is sometimes an adventure hoping they got it split right (usually don't). They have a large selection of beers, but again it's oddly expensive for beer in what looks like a converted warehouse. For the most part these are all irritants. But who wants to go to a place for the irritation? The aura has totally worn off. Won't voluntarily go back. read more

Overpriced for plain non exciting food. On the other hand a great place if you have a group who is trying to entertain children. They can run around and there is Ns outdoor play area. Food is just fair and I found it expensive for what it was. read more

Food was sooo good, def recommend the chicken & waffles service was great! Love that they have a playground for the kids to play! Will def be back! Appropriately priced as well! read more

It was great if your college student, but the shuffleboard was in the dining room and it was so loud that it was uncomfortable. I need a wall if they're separating it or in another room couldn't talk or think, and the kids were yelling besides the noise of the game itself. read more

The Purple Goat - Goat Burger - Sports Bars Near Me - Stephenville, Texas

First time here. Place is really cool as far as set up. Indoor out door. Best "ambiance" I've seen in Stephenville, which ain't saying much, so kuddos! Lots of draft beer, liquor and frozen drinks. Out door area I could imagine would be really nice in fall or winter as it's covered and has 4 propane fire pits under roof with swing down doors. I love the concept and can see what they are trying todo here. We started with Goat balls, they were ok, they were not cooked properly, still coldish in the middle and not that impressive over all. BBQ sauce on them were different but pleasant, ranch dressing was on point. Our waiter was very uniformed on the menu, prep of food, sauces, choices, drinks prices and drink selections. Nice but basically clueless. Draft beer and cider was almost warm or cool but not cold, so that wasn't great. Inside building was cool not cold. Could be colder but has high ceilings. Salads are over priced and I wouldn't call this a "cob salad" as it lacked many components that cob salads should have. I had the catfish and I was pleasantly surprised that it was nicely done , crispy, hot, fresh, good portion and had a nice corn meal coating. Fries were good with a crispy flour coat. Cajun slaw appeared to be a little old but had decent flavor but bad color. Hush puppies were good but only got 2 small pups. Over all the fried catfish was really solid and I'm picky about fried catfish. We had a nice experience overall. I really like the vibe. I don't know why, but I would be interested to see how they handle a big crowd bc this place is big with many seats and staff seem not all too prepared in general. Could be wrong about that assumption. We came on a Sunday late evening and they seemed a little lackadaisical. I'll come back bc I like the vibe and food and was better than most in Stephenville. read more

Amazing food!!!!!! Service is slow and if you are coming here make sure to block out plenty of time to eat. I recommend chicken and waffles!!!! read more

This was unbelievably BAD! I ordered a meal similar to my grandchild. Eggs, meat, potatoes, biscuits etc. the food came and he got what he ordered, but I only got eggs and bacon. When I asked, they said they know the menu says all that, but it's their policy not to give everything advertised unless specifically asked for. Well my grandchild didn't have to spell it out for the waitress, but apparently she expected me to do it. The absolute ridiculous management decision in the world to have a policy toward one menu item and not the others. I'd have loved to have a seat at the table that made that decision TO GIVE SOMEONE TWO EGGS AND CHARGE THEM TEN DOLLARS, WHILE A CHILD GETS THREE TIMES THE FOOD FOR .75 DIFFERENCE!!!! SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND GO ELSEWHERE!!! read more

Had a great brunch at the Purple Goat today. My Aunt and uncle from Granbury and Aunt from Burnet joined my parents and my little family for a much needed get together. Was nice to see everyone and enjoy their company Inna warm, and toasty place. Most everyone had breakfast items and I heard zero complaints. My Chicken and waffles was great and my girlfriend loved her loaded potato. Awesome and ultra friendly staff and excellent service! This is a great place for singles to large groups! Yum! read more

Food was meh. I had the dove tenders and they were good. Grilled veggies were very greasy. Fried pickles and onion rings had good flavor and were crispy. Husband ordered chicken fried chicken and got chicken fried steak instead but we didn't have time to get it fixed. An appetizer was forgotten. Took at least 20 minutes to get drinks ordered. Honestly, didn't feel too great afterwards.... The place is cool and is able to sit large parties. Maybe look into your grease... we had some issues afterwards and from the feedback from the staff when we asked what was recommended, we're kinda thinking that might be the issue. Idk. read more

The atmosphere is great but both times we have stopped in the food isn't hot. The first time was for lunch and the burger was mediocre and the fries cold. The second time for dinner the fully stuffed baked potatoe was so cold it couldn't melt butter. Not worth the stop. read more

Nice place to hang out and relax. Have some fun, play some pool or air hockey, hang out around a fire pit, tell jokes have a drink. And when you get hungry I recommend the Goat Balls along with a tasty burger and a beer. We had the privilege to meet the owner. What a very nice man. He is a great people person. Definitely will be visiting every time we are in town. read more

Horrible bartender. Cussed made rude comments. Warm beer, had to remind him to make my wife's drink. What a crappy experience

Terrible service terrible server jay is the worst server I've ever met in my life I waited close to 2 hours for my burger just for it to be wrong and dry and not good I hate this place and never want to come back I wish nothing but the worst on all of the staff read more

We came here for my son's birthday. First of all, the place is huge, especially for such a small town. And it's funky in a cowboy town kind of way. I love it. The servers were very friendly, and attentive. We had a fairly big party (8 in all), and there were several drink orders thrown at our guy all at once. He somehow managed to get them all. Next, the food - I got a burger with Sweet Potato Fries. It was a BIG burger! It was also fresh and delicious. Really, everything brought to the table looked very good. I don't think anyone had any leftovers to take home, so that tells me it was all great. Definitely a place worth the drive from Ft. Worth. Next time we visit my son, I'm sure we will go there again. read more

This place was so good that we came back again the next day!! We were in town for a team roping over the July 4th weekend. This place is so cute! Clean and fun! The menu is full of yummy sounding things! We did the loaded fries as an appetizer both days. I had the quail nuggets the first day and my daughter had the goat balls LOL! My friends did the wyagu (spelling?) steaks and enjoyed it as well. I can't recall everything we got but it was all good! We came with friends both times and everyone was happy with their meal and service. There is also a pool table and playground and outdoor seating. read more

Eggs were a little overcooked and some butter would have been great for the biscuit but everything tasted amazing. It was better than expected and I drove 140 miles to eat here. So good. Even the biscuit was good. Service was a little slow but it's a popular place and I showed up at noon on a Sunday. I will definitely return. read more

I should have heeded the 3.5 stars... The Place - Large open areas on the inside with seating for parties of 4-10. Pool table, 30' bar. Lots of TVs showing rodeos and other programs. 98F outside, and the AC was working just fine. There's a large covered patio that would probably be a great place when the temps stay under 90F. Service - Average, at best. Menu - Large selection of burgers with special add-ons like mac/cheese, onion rings, etc. All came with a selection of sides, but if you want something other than fries, it's going to cost you. And that's on top of the high-price of the burgers; I got a burger with the onion rings on top and BBQ sauce and it was about $13. If you want the one with mac/cheese on it, that'll be about $17. For four burgers and a salad and two soft drinks, the tab was near $90 after tip. Food - Four of us had burgers, and my wife had the salad with smoked brisket on top. She enjoyed hers quite a bit. Can't say the same for me; I asked for "pink in the middle" and got "grey in the middle". DRY, DRY, DRY. Crust-on-the-outside-of-a-thin-patty kind of dry. And the BBQ sauce that had been added was probably straight out of the fridge, making the whole thing a bit of a lukewarm mess. I would have complained and asked for another sandwich, but that always makes for an awkward dinner as everyone else feels like they have to wait for you before they eat or have to wait for you to finish later. Only bright spot was the fries. TLDR: No, thank you. There are other eateries in town that serve great burgers (Grumps is a better one, for sure) that aren't hockey pucks and for a few dollars less. read more
