Looked for a lunch place in Alpine. This place worked out great. Right on the main street. Had tacos and chips and guac. Everything was good. Service was great and personal. Walked around and saw some of the building murals, which Alpine is known for.

Really cool little spot, service was awesome. Food is good, salsa is on point.

The food was so good. Piping hot and delicious. If you’re I. Town and you want a gray meal, stop here. The burgers were awesome! The staff was very friendly and accommodating!

Food was bad. I got the pork tacos which were dry. Not dry from being over cooked, but dry like they were made yesterday and sat in the fridge uncovered for 24hrs. The amount of cilantro that was on the tacos was ridiculous, cilantro is a garnish!! Were they trying to hide the bad meat? Plus it’s not cheap $14.99!! Don’t waste your money, there are better places to eat in Alpine.

Food was decent. Nothing special at all. Probably understaffed but realllllly slow service. Food came out quick but waiter was nowhere to be seen. Multiple other tables literally tracked him down to pay/order.Beans and rice were pretty good

I cannot recommend this place enough. I stayed here in October of '22, and the staff and service were as good as one could hope.If you are taking a trip to Big Bend on a motorcycle, this is the place to stay.

The food is awesome!! I love the atmosphere, and the waitress was super nice. I felt a little rushed. We ordered 2 meals to go, after we had our lunch. We were brought the to go order with our plates and so we had bags and boxes to deal with on the table as we ate out lunch.Just a suggestion for management...To go orders should be brought out with the check to pay. And ask your customers if they are ready for their check. I felt rushed to leave because less than 5 minutes after our meals arrived we were given the check and told we could pay with cash or card. I didn't even have half my food eaten yetThe tables next to the windows are beautiful. I would move them to a location away from the windows due to the beauty of them. Not enjoyed when the sun is cooking you from the outside.

Stopped by after hiking Big Bend and had a great experience. Drinks were affordable. Vibes were immaculate. The huge deer on the wall was pretty dope and impressive. Also the cute bartender with the cross earrings gave us better service than we ever get in Virginia. I don’t know if that’s a Texas thing or if Virginia just sucks in comparison, but either way this bar absolutely slaps.

This place is so laid back and chill! Their live music is amazing!! The food is AMAZING!!! the service is truly amazing some of the best I have EVER had!! The owners are usually there too. These owners are some of the most legit owners I think I have ever known! We spent 4 nights at the hotel above the restaurant...and by the time we left we were hugging the owners bye! It was as if we were leaving a family reunion! This is a place you MUST stop in and try! Drinks are amazing! Staff is phenomenal. And the vibe is out of this world! Tell them Melissa and Tim said hello!!

Immediately upon entering we were seated and I had been so excited for some good food after an 8 hour drive. The atmosphere was amazing! They had a band playing and the food smelled so delicious. Our waitress took our drink and food orders and it took a little bit to actually get our drinks. No biggie. I get it, sometimes waitresses have a lot on their plate at once. About a half hour into our experience, a family of five was sat at a table next to us. We still didn't have any food. Again, no big deal. I'm patient. I was willing to wait. The problem that I had was that it had reached the hour mark since we had sat down and the family of five that had been seated a half hour after us had their drinks and food before we did. The waitress kept checking in on them and apologizing for the wait. Meanwhile we had been entirely forgotten about. Nobody came around to check to see if we needed drink refills. Nobody came by to apologize for the wait or tell us how far along our order was. It was very frustrating seeing this other family get service next to us when we had been waiting twice as long as they had to receive half the service. Eventually we got up and left after paying for our drinks. I was really looking forward to the food. But the lack of service for my party while serving the people next to us is what really killed it for me. Very nice staff and people. But the service just wasn't there.
After an enjoyable lunch with my boyfriend and his friend, the men paid and tried to tip our server. The manager wouldn't for some reason allow my boyfriend to tip. His friend said as he walked to the door that he had spent $40 on lunch. Maybe the manager took him wrong, because she disturbed the full venue of other guests by loudly replying that he had caused a lot of problems as well. This created a verbal altercation between herself and him, and she yelled after him and followed us outside saying ahe was calling the police.Not only was I witness to no violation of any kind having been perpetrated by our companion, but I wondered on what grounds she could (not to mention why she would) file a tresspass report against a customer who dined in the establishment, paid, and asked for a comment card for the good server he wanted to tip.She was rude to my boyfriend twice as well for no reason, as he was polite, paid, and tried to tip as well. I am sure I wasn't the only other guest who felt appalled at her misconduct. This woman took her personal feelings about a customer to a level that was completely uncalled for and resulted in a scene. This place seems to be run by emotionally unbalanced people who misuse public law enforcement resources to further their fantasy dramas.

Very poor Management, they are very Arrogant, and rude to there hard working staff, rooms were very dusty. And the bathrooms are filthy. We will not be back. Good Luck with your stay. The pictures portray a wonderfully great place. Very misleading. And the booze is watered down. The bed was soft. That's my 1 star.
Kid-friendliness: Not a place I would take my kids.
Wheelchair accessibility: Rooms are up stairs no elevator, and the bar is to small for you to feel comfort in a wheel chair

We went to see the Caleb Wilbourn show and loved everything we ate! The servers were superstars.The real bonus to this place is the hotel rooms, upstairs! They are very nice. The place is spotless and everything is very modern and fresh. I'll 100% stay here, again. That it's walking distance to all of the local late bars and shops makes it a good choice.They have legit indoor motorcycle parking. NOBODY has that, around here. Not in this county or the next. A+

When this place first opened we tried it a few times for mixed drinks which were so bad we never went back until recently. We found the food really good with huge helpings, down home food. My favorite was the meatballs and the Pull My Porkie sandwich. Although the meatballs are no more, the pork sandwich with a salad is still on the menu and still as good as the first time. This last time I took a chance and ordered a mango margarita and was very impressed. It was early afternoon and the waitress was pleasant and nice. It's nice to see it turn around into something we can enjoy. I only wish they would wash the front door and its surrounding windows as they are so dirty with so many fingerprints it makes you think the inside will be just as dirty.

Actually our group wound up there because everyone else was closed. Uncovered a gem. I will definitely go back when I'm in Alpine. The food was great, the waitress was gullible and sweet and efficient, and Old Gringo was a lot of fun.
