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).

The ribeye was seasoned so well I didn't need bbq sauce. I always love their fresh cut fries. I also love their turkey special and fish fry specials throughout the year. Their burgers are always amazing and I love smoked trademark B they put on the bun of their burgers. I love those small details. Anyways, if you're ever in the area you need to stop here for the delicious food and enjoy the sweet service.

He ordered the ribs and I got the pulled pork, and both were absolutely incredible. The pulled pork was easily some of the best I've ever had, perfectly tender and packed with flavor. You can tell everything is made with care. And the margaritas... next level. We tried the prickly pear and the smoked marg, and both were amazing. Highly recommend ordering at least one (or both). What really made the experience stand out was the hospitality. The owner actually came out and sat with us, took the time to chat, and made us feel so welcome. Just a genuinely great person. The food and the overall experience were so good... we literally came back again the next day. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Highly, highly recommend!

If you find yourself in the Terlingua Ghost Town, a meal at the Starlight Theater is an absolute…read morenon-negotiable. It is easily the heartbeat of the area, offering a dining experience that perfectly captures the eclectic, rugged, and friendly spirit of West Texas. Be prepared this place is popular for a reason. Wait times can easily reach the two-hour mark, but don't let that deter you. The trick is to put your name in first, then immediately pivot to "vacation mode." Grab a drink and an appetizer from the bar and head outside. The porch and the surrounding area become a lively social hub where locals and tourists mix seamlessly. The atmosphere is what truly sets Starlight apart. While we were waiting for our table, a couple of locals claimed the large bench right outside and broke into a spontaneous, spirited rendition of The Jungle Book theme songs! It was pure magic. My kids were completely enthralled by the performance, which turned a long wait into one of the highlights of our trip. It gave my husband and me the perfect window to relax with our drinks and soak in the desert air. The food lived up to the hype of the setting: Smoked Brisket Queso: This is an absolute must-order. It's rich, smoky, and the perfect fuel for a Ghost Town evening. Prickly Pear Margarita: Vibrant, delicious, and refreshing it's the quintessential West Texas cocktail. The Main Course: We ordered a variety of kid-friendly items and the Brisket Tacos. While everything we ate was delicious, be aware that their famous Texas Mesquite Smoked Brisket is in high demand they had unfortunately run out by the time we were seated, so get there early if that's your primary goal! The Starlight Theater isn't just a restaurant; it's an event. Between the incredible live local interactions, the "only-in-Terlingua" scenery, and the solid food and drink, it is a 5-star experience. Just remember: arrive early, bring your patience, and keep an ear out for the music!
