We just left the lake and stopped by the Stockyards for lunch. It was a great time. Food was awesome. We had the calf frys and I had the belt buster a chicken friend steak sandwich and it was awesome. For a West Texas boy it is a lot like the DQ Dude. The Ute taco and desert was great as well.

Lived my whole life here but had never eaten here before. 5 out of 5 stars on the charbroiled hamburger and cheese curds.

We usually stop in here when I visit my family in the area. The staff is always friendly and a pleasure to deal with. The food never disappoints. This time around, I had The Belt Buster. Its a chicken fried steak sandwich, with texas toast. It had great flavor, came with a side of white gravy and fries. They aren't kidding when they call it the belt buster, it will fill you up. I was so full I didn't have a chance to try a slice of pie. Which they had multiple flavors to choose from. I'm sure we'll visit again the next time I'm in town.

We both had open faced meals with mashed potatoes and veggies. A little salt and pepper on the veggies would've given 5 stars. The dark brown gravy is very yummy and very big portions of everything. We couldn't resist the dessert case, but we're so full we had to get pie to go. The service was great and nice country atmosphere.

Really good stick to your ribs food. I recently had the patty melt and couldn't put it down. Had a perfect crust on the outside for a wonderful bite. The flavors came together just how I wanted. I ordered the fries, but my coworker got the homemade onion rings. I tried to take as many of those onion rings as she'd let me.
