Big Bend Region

(From September 2010) It may be the dog days of summer, but things still look lush at this golf resort oasis. Even the approach, under a trellised walkway, is breezy and cool, as is the spray from the splashing fountain. We opted to dine inside the glass-walled room and enjoyed a chilled Caesar salad with crisp romaine, crunchy croutons, and tender grilled chicken. Yum. Bar (opens at 4).

Great food. Very nice staff anxious to provide good service. We ate there once or twice a day for five days. We had almost everything on the menu and enjoyed it all. The chef was top notch. Food presentation was very good

(From November 2010) There’s a certain yin and yang here, though it’s unthinkable anyone would use that term, what with the Old West feel of the place. Inside is dark and cozy; outside on the patio it’s warm and leafy. Likewise the food: In the mood for a great burger at lunch, we instead got just a good one; it suffered from a sourdough bun paired with a patty way above its soon-soggy pay grade. Greasy fries were another disappointment. Nevertheless, we’ve usually been more than happy with our dinners here (and fortunately, many of the dishes can be ordered at lunch).

(From March 2011) Everything old is new again, including Terlingua’s landmark bar/restaurant: new management, updated decor (but not much—it is a ruin after all), and some new-old menu items like Angie’s Tortilla Soup and Rob’s Beans, a nod to the originators of the place. But the real differences are subtle: a depth of flavors, a richness of textures, a generosity of portions. Our fish tacos boasted a mound of shredded fish, and even though the tortillas were small, the filling overflowed the plate (the sour cream, unfortunately, came in a plastic tube, but you can’t have everything). Bar.
