There is a decent size dining room, a nice bar area with high top tables, and tables outside on the patio. We stopped there to grab something to eat on the way to the Star Party at the McDonald Observatory. Not being very hungry, we split the Rio Grande Brisket Taco while sitting at the bar. The brisket was flavorful and plentiful; delicious. The bartender was busy, yet still attentive. The food orders we saw all looked good and plentiful. I wish we could have stayed a while longer, but we had a 20 minute drive to the observatory. Unfortunately, cloud cover pretty much ruined the Star Party, however, we were pleasantly surprised that a refund was offered. I highly recommend a stop at the Blue Mountain and check-out Fort Davis.

They have a dinning room or you can order to go at the bar. We used the scan code to order off the new updated menu, I didn't mind at all. Once order was placed, our food arrived promptly. Of course I ordered the Old Fashioned. 7 out 10. Not bad. For dinner my dad and I had the Chicken Fried Chicken and my nephew had the double cheeseburger. We cleaned out plates. Food was great. All in all I will definitely recommend and will be returning.

That was a blessing in disguise. This cute place is a bodega, deli, and wine shop. We ordered two oven-fired pizzas for takeout so we could hang out with our canine at the local dog park: + Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza (we requested the honey on the side in case my oldest didn't like it, but she did) + Chicken Pesto Pizza Total = $41.09 The pizza were cooked nicely. Not overdone. Took only about 12 minutes to be ready even at a busy time of the Sunday afternoon. They also sell dips and herb breads, sandwiches, salads, drinks, dog treats, candy, & merchandise. Some advance orders are necessary, but they also offer: Charcuterie boards, frozen bake-at-home pizzas, lasagnas, King Ranch casseroles, and cookies. Delivery is available. Great service.

The waitstaff is terrific, from the friendly bartender (you can purchase almost the entire menu for 1/2 price at the bar!), to the professional waiters. The food choices are diverse and international. I love the dumplings and the bao; they transport you right to China. The glazed shrimp appetizer is to die for, and the pizza, best in Marfa. But the real piece de resistance is the steak, especially ribeye special. It's huge, and cooked just right (I love mine medium rare). Shout out to the ramen, unlike any you've ever had, and the wide variety of drink specials provide a number of whimsical choices that should please every taste bud. The chef here is terrific, as is the service. You can eat here 5 times and never have the same international fare. It's shocking in West Texas to discover a restaurant so accommodating, and the prices mean the entire family can enjoy the experience. Don't miss this incredible restaurant!

We started with the salad, which was a solid opener--fresh, generous portion, and overall enjoyable. Nothing that really stood out, but definitely not a miss. The pizza was... okay. You can tell it's fire oven cooked, which is usually a win, but ours came out a bit too toasty--borderline burnt on one side. It also wasn't cut properly, which made things a little awkward. Some slices weren't cut through at all (had to ask for a knife), and others were uneven--ranging from oversized wedges to tiny slivers. Service was a little scattered, but to be fair, we came in toward the end of the night and our server mentioned it had been a hectic evening. No real complaints there--just felt a bit rushed and disorganized. A couple of downsides: they close at 9:30, which isn't ideal if you're looking for a late-night bite or drink, and there's no room service--you have to head down to order. Overall, it's a convenient spot if you're staying at the hotel and need something easy, but it's not necessarily a destination meal. Convenient? Yes. Notable? Meh.

Make the reservation yesterday. Chef Alexandra Gates met us at the door, walked us to our table, and explained every course herself. Our server Dallas was an absolute gem. We did the chef's menu with the pairing. Nilgai tartare with avocado and toasty grilled bread. Corn ribs that made me emotional about a vegetable. Mesquite Gulf shrimp in a beurre blanc I wanted to drink. Texas quail on ruby slaw with wild boar bacon. Bison in a pasilla-pecan mole, tender as a love song. Horchata pudding to finish, with a little pecan crown. My side dish queen, claimed the sparkling rosé and guarded it like a hawk. I let her. Happy wife, happy pairing. Some of the best food we have ever eaten in Texas, and I've eaten a LOT of Texas. Worth every penny and every mile.

The pie crust was perfect - buttery and flaky. No dryness at all. And the filling was scrumptious. The coconut cookies were baked perfectly, with a slight crisp on the edges but thoroughly chewy. We were surprised to see so many highly rated food spots in a small town, but after driving through Alpine, we could see it's more than just a map dot. We will make time to visit Alpine next time we go to BBNP.

So, of course I wanted to treat her to a nice dinner. Reservation 6:45p. Seated almost immediately. Service fell off a cliff after that. We ordered the filet for two - $128 - 16 oz of filet - you share a Caesar salad - you share mashed potatoes and asparagus. Salad came out relatively quickly, and was huge. It could easily feed four. However, it was 7:40 before the meal arrived. At one point, one of the waitresses asked if she could bring us a dessert menu or our check. That's how long we sat there. We had to tell her we hadn't eaten yet. When the food did finally arrive, the steak was cooked unevenly and served almost cold, as was the portobello mushroom...which was dry and overcooked. Additionally, I'm not sure there were 16oz of meat on that tray. Totally irritating and not worth the money. No where near worth the money. The only reason they get two stars: the salad was actually pretty decent, as was the bread service.
