    Great BBq in the little town of sandstone. Cute, fun atmosphere. Nothing fancy but good bbq.

    Nice view while waiting for dinner.

    What a great food truck stop! We were coming through Sanderson and looking for a place to stretch our legs. Instead, we stuffed ourselves with delicious fried okra, fresh potato salad, and a bbq sandwich. There was a small indoor facility if you choose to eat onsite. It also contains a clean restroom and a small area to watch the sun go down. Great stop for sure!

    Amazing service and phenomenal brisket!! This is now an immediate stop anytime I come through town

    Look at the large amount of brisket in this quesadilla

    Food smells great as soon as you drive up. The brisket quesadillas are on point. Great place to enjoy a nice lunch.

    The brisket is amazing...perfect smoke ring, just the right amount of bark, tender and a flavorful marbling of fat. No sauce needed!

    The brisket sandwich was delicious, and the eating area and restrooms were very nice and clean.

    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!

    The Starlight is the "it" spot in Terlingua. An old school theatre turned into restaurant/…read morebar/music venue. The place doesn't open until 5 pm and on 3 separate days when I drove by at 4:30, there was a line to get in. On the 3rd day we decided to wait in said line. It moves fast. We ordered a few Boquillas Scorpion Margaritas to start. This is basically a normal margarita on the rocks but with a paper clip like mini scorpion placed on the side. This is named after the little art pieces found near the Boquillas area. Cool souvenir! We also got some chili as appetizers that was delicious. I wanted to order the chicken friend antelope as an entree but chickened out and got an antelope burger instead. It was great. I wanted to see some live music, but we ended up here on comedy night. Comedy night was fine, but I wanted to feel the vibe of the area and hear some honky tonk type music. So, if you go check the schedule for live music nights to get the whole experience.
