Great little inconspicuous restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. This is one of the most unique restaurants in Texas with simple, rugged, yet classy decor. The whole place is very inviting. We had the Brussels sprouts and focaccia and ricotta as appetizers and both were fantastic. There was a few different choices between pasta dishes and steaks. The menu was simple but well thought out. They had some of the best and most reasonably priced cocktails with both classics and their own renditions of well known drinks, the pear martini was my favorite. I recommend calling or texting at least the day before for a reservation. The bar is open seating and you can walk in but I didn’t see anyone there for the duration of our meal.
The steak was incredible! Service was excellent and had a romantic vibe.

My wife and I drove down from Highland Village for the 4th weekend. I have to say, this place is fabulous. Everything was on point. Excellent pear martinis. Fantastic appetizers. Chef JR was fantastic. This place is too good and too expensive for this community.

Was there this past weekend for an annual friends weekend getaway. Absolutely great experience. We sat in the front of the pizzeria due to BlackCur being so busy. Thats how awesome they are. Go here, ask to sit in Malachi's section. He's an absolute Rockstar server and excellent young man. I own a painting company, if I had 3 of him, id be a millionaire. Order the lasagna, the bib salad, and old fashioned. Trust me!!

Besides our server being amazing, I would never come here again unless my boss requested me to. We had reserved a table for a group of 8 successful, respectable business men that hadn’t seen each other in well over a year. The “owner” sent the bartender (instead of coming himself) to tell us to “quiet down.” Our table by no means was being vulgar, yelling or being disrespectful in any way. It was simply a group of 8 people having to project our voices a little louder due to not being directly next to eachother. In addition to this, there was one table of 4 & maybe 2 people at the bar in the entire building being just as “loud,” that didn’t seem to mind our volume (just as we weren’t bothered by theirs…It’s a bar/restaurant we don’t expect it to be silent in there). As my first experience here, I was extremely disappointed in the disrespect from the owner. I’d like to add this owner had no idea behind the meaning of our gathering together, so it was an extra slap in the face.

Overall experience could have been way better, but our service was terrible. Server Peyton was not attentive at all.. I'll add also that the restaurant was not busy at all.. Made a long drive and had a reservation all to find out that food is highly over priced and waitstaff was terrible. Thought the restaurant was cool but it's a very small building.

This was our second time eating at Black Cur Steak. We decided to spend Valentine’s dinner there, since we had such a great first experience back last August. We drove in from Zephyr (which is almost a 1 hour drive one way) and arrived about 10 mins before our reservation time (which was 8:30). We were told we could sit at the bar top while we waited for a table, no big deal. We were served water and it took about 10-15 mins for the same waitress to come back and ask us if any one has taken our drink order. We told her “no not yet”. The bartender never talked to us or acknowledged us at all. I could tell she was overwhelmed, but gave her the benefit of the doubt. My husband was served his beer and it took the bartender TWENTY minutes to get me my first drink. By this time, it is almost 9:00 PM and we haven’t even been seated at a table yet. Looking around, I could tell service was behind. We are pretty understanding people, but I don’t think we will be returning for a while. I’ve worked in the service industry and I was so disappointed at how things were ran. Especially for the price we were paying for the Valentines 5 course dinner. People around us were ticked about the long wait times, waitresses taking forever to serve them and I overheard multiple people discussing prices not adding up on tickets. The ticket didn’t even have the prices listed out (it was completely cut off the receipt) and there was just a subtotal that was circled. Which was odd, but we were so fed up with the experience that we paid and left. I will say the bartender was probably one of the most disappointing encounters I have had at a restaurant. The drinks were not great (as opposed to the last time we were there with a different bartender) her attitude just really seemed to rub multiple people the wrong way. We spent almost $350 (food, drinks and a tip) on this dinner (plus gas to get there) and I feel like we could’ve spent our money elsewhere. It’s a shame because we really loved our first experience here back in August and recommended it to a lot of people. Can’t say I will do that any more.

I can not speak on the food, we didn't get that far lol. The waitresses were nice. We went in with no reservation, and she was super nice and seated us. Only to findout, nothing we had seen on the menu, we had seen, was being served. (Menu changes fyi) The couple next to us, said the same thing and we took their cue, and walked out of the door as well. The place is very nice tho :)

Brought my mom for her 87 birthday waited way too long to be seated and then we’re seated at a table with chairs that we’re not comfortable and compatible for a elderly lady. They offered us no other table so we left.
Amazing atmosphere and the service and food can not be beat! Bartenders are always on point and quick to put out some great drinks. It's definitely a Dimond hidden in coleman and well worth the visit.

Headed back from a road trip, a friend recommended Rancho Pizzeria and Black Cur in Coleman as I went through. They have the same owner.
I didn't think I would have an opportunity to try Black Cur as they don't open until 5 however, it was 5 when I wrapped up my snack next door so popped over.
It was said I had good timing as reservations are recommended at this quaint, higher end restaurant.
I sat at the bar and started with a dirty martini. I will say, it was not my favorite but not bad.
Bartender and other staff I interacted with were so friendly and professional!!! Answered questions, made recommendations...just really good people who appear to enjoy what they are doing. That was a positive addition to the experience.
I was hoping for the Beef Tartar I had seen on the online menu however they no longer have it.
While sipping my cocktail in this perfectly lit space, admiring the atmosphere and decorations, saw some folks with GIANT biscuits followed by their meal with amazing looking fries. I LOVE fries!
I knew I was not there to 'finish' a meal but needed to try some food and wanted something more unique so I ordered the Broken Arrow Nilgai. Its an 8oz Korean-spiced antelope leg filet w/pecan pesto and bread and butter pickle shallots on top. I ordered mine medium rare. Of course I added an order of fries!
Nilgai first....OUTSTANDING! Cooked perfectly and just melts in your mouth! The pesto was not heavy on acid which was great as the shallots balanced everything perfectly! Such an AMAZING dish! Definitely recommend and would order again!
Fries. I was slightly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, they were definitely good. I happen to prefer my fries natural. I wouldn't say these were coated however almost like a quick dusting of flour or corn starch to give them an extra crispy bite.
I ended with one final cocktail, simple vodka & soda which was perfect. For those reading this that think you cant mess that up...you certainly can!
If you're going through Coleman or are like me and will jump in the car and go on an adventure to try great food, make it a point to stop at Black Cur!! You will be delighted you did!

My husband and I took a short drive from Abilene to Coleman to try out Black Cur for a very rare date night without kids. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The atmosphere was like it blended fine dining with a cozy laid back feel to it .The drink menu had a large selection of cocktails and alcohol. The food menu was out of our usual comfort zone but we absolutely loved it. We will definitely consider the drive back out here next time we get to sneak away again.
