Description

The restaurant has Western-themed decor and a saloon bar. [3] [1] It has iron chandeliers and booths upholstered with tooled leather, and its walls are decorated with photos of show cattle. [4]

The restaurant's menu is focused on steaks, including chicken-fried steak and sides. It is also known for its fried bull testicles, called calf fries. [5]

History

The restaurant was founded in 1947 by Jesse and Mozelle Roach. [6] It is located in the Fort Worth Stockyards. [7] In 2025, television showrunner Taylor Sheridan and his business partners Dan Schyer and David Glasser purchased the restaurant, with previous owners Marti Taylor and Larry Heppe remaining as part owner. [8] They announced plans to renovate the restaurant and build an expansion including a members only club. [9] Theodore Tom became the restaurant's new executive chef, and added items to the menu such as steak tartare and Wagyu meatballs. [10]

Reception

In 2023, a review from Fort Worth Magazine described the steak as "decent" but noted that it was somewhat gritty. [7] A 2025 review from Texas Monthly stated that the "kitchen’s quality has definitely improved" after the change in ownership, praising the quality of the food and decor. [4]
