Kerrville

(From March 2011) California bistro–style cuisine is served up in a historic 1915 train depot that’s more homey than cutesy. There are plenty of lunch options—axis venison burgers, grilled salmon salad, portobello quesadillas. The soup du jour is definitely worth ordering, especially if it’s the Brie-mushroom bisque. Dinner entrées lean toward steaks, seafood, chicken, and pasta, plus a couple of nightly specials. Vegetable sides are fresh and generously portioned: heaping mounds of sautéed spinach, red-skinned mashed potatoes, tender baby green beans. A dessert tray, piled with tempting treats, is helpfully brought table-side for selection. Beer & wine.

Sushi and a show! This Tokyo-style steakhouse cooks up tender beef, juicy chicken, and succulent seafood amid spinning spatulas and towering onion volcanoes. Sit around the hibachi to make friends and chat with the chef. You can make a meal from the ample starter selections; we’re especially keen on the walnut shrimp and the gyoza. Sushi and sashimi are ocean-fresh and varied: you’ll find conch and eel along with traditional spicy tuna and California rolls. For dessert, abandon all dignity and opt for a potent tiki drink, served in a wacky cup. Bar.

(From December 2010) Cowboy. Steak. House. That pretty much says it all. The cozy interior, with Western memorabilia adorning just about every inch of the walls and tabletops, takes you right up to, but blessedly not over, the line of kitsch. More important, smoky aromas from the indoor mesquite grill will start your mouth watering the minute you walk in the door. Choices of steaks include all the cuts you’d expect, and there’s also buffalo, chicken-fried steak, and chicken. They even offer grilled seafood (but—really?). Bar.
