5 Best American Restaurants in Terlingua

“Such a great place! Friendly and fast service. 94 year old theater. Get the Brussels sprouts! We had the pear Rita, French dip with grilled japs and tequila quail. So good. The live music was a great way to end our day.“

“08/11/25-Me and my grandson had the biscuits and gravy w/sausage. Was delicious DB“

“The reviews that are negative are older. Since new management took over there have been major renovations and improvements to this property and there is more ongoing and planned for the future. The management and team really care and are working hard to make this a great experience for those who stay and camp here. The lodge buildings are being repainted and renovated and the campground looks wonderful and is clean. There are wonderful views of the surrounding desert and mountains. Plus, there’s a convenient restaurant, store and gas station on site as well as tours and horseback riding and it’s convenient to the park and ghost town!“

“One of the best bars we have ever been in! Food was good. The service was perfect, and still friendly. I (Mrs.) felt welcome in any thing I felt like wearing. We will be back“

“High Sierra Bar & Grill is a must-stop if you’re anywhere near Ghost Town, Texas. The margaritas are some of the best I’ve had—perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and just the right kick. Their tostadas were fresh, flavorful, and generously topped—definitely recommend trying them. What really makes this place special, though, is the atmosphere. It’s incredibly welcoming, laid-back, and full of character. They’re also super pet-friendly, which was a huge plus for us. Our pup was treated like family and felt right at home on the patio. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind—hospitality at its finest. Whether you’re just passing through or staying in the area, High Sierra offers a great taste of local charm with good food, strong drinks, and even stronger vibes.“
