I recently dined at this amazing historical restaurant and I highly recommend stopping by! It's a perfect spot for dinner, especially if you're traveling from West Texas. The service was fantastic, with a cozy atmosphere and delicious food. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect score of 5. I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Fried Steak Sandwich, Chicken Fried Steak with Fried Okra, and Cheeseburger. The price per person was between $20-30, making it a great value for the quality of food and experience.
