I wanted really bad to give this place 5 stars. I love the look of the place with indoor and outdoor options. There were tables, booths, and a bar indoors. Outdoors had shade and sun, and it felt like it could have a breeze. As to the food, the fish and chips were great. The fires were fresh, but they could use a double fry, so they are more crisp. I did their brisket cheese fries that sounded amazing, but the fries were too soggy, and the cheese was not the best quality for it. I would also say the brisket was too dry. We also had the enchiladas, and they were on par with fast food. I think the burgers and steaks at the tables around us looked great. The service was okay, but they were swamped. So, I'll sum this up to say, if you're in town for more than one meal, give them a try, but maybe focus on the fish and burgers. I did like the drink specials. My beer was cheaper than the tea. :)

As you can see, I loved the buffalo wings. 🤣😂🤣 My wife and I really enjoyed the brisket tacos. Top 10 we’ve had. (My wife said, they were phenomenal!”) Would totally eat here again the next time we are in Fort Davis. Our server, Faith, was exactly what we needed. The perfect balance of service and letting us talk. She’s awesome.

Came to Fort Davis for some work and stopped in with the work crew. Very impressed with the atmosphere and food presentation. To break the ice, we asked our server if he knew any magic tricks and he brought another server (Christopher )who did! Our server (Robert) was cordial, however he was very overwhelmed with too many tables. Something very noticeable was the lack of management presence to help the server staff catch up on drink refills and make sure guests were satisfied. The food was still very good and I think they did the best they could considering. Our server wrote us a pretty great haiku for us. In an upscale restaurant like this, management absolutely needs to be present on the floor to ensure prompt service.

We asked if we could sit outside and they said yes. We ordered for two and only got served for one? The brisket tacos were cold and no napkins were given. I let the young lady know of her misunderstanding and she immediately corrected it and came back with another order of the same and no napkins ? I said I know we are in the middle of nowhere BUT you must know that napkins are needed. She went inside and sent someone else out with the napkins. Then she came back later with a fresh order of tacos which we refused because we were done and ready to go. What was suppose to be a nice evening turned out to be sour and a little disappointing to say the least! I will never be back here again.

Fantasic waiter and service. Right in tiny downtown Fort Davis. Next door to Limpia Hotel. Across the street from Harvard Hotel and Butterfield Inn. Has an indoor bar. The enchiladas were fantastic. The Alfredo pasta was off. Will definitely try again.

There are limited dining options in Fort Davis TX and from the outside, we thought this looked like a good place to sit down and have a nice dinner, nope: 1. Limited menu, 2. One order was chicken tenders- they were not cooked fresh, lukewarm, soggy cold French fries, 3. 2nd order was the smash burger that consisted of two very flat burgers, two thinly sliced pieces of tomato’s, onions, & pickles, with one small piece of lettuce. NOTE~ the waitress didn’t write down any of our orders and brought me a chicken plate of some kind. She returned it to the kitchen and my burger and fries were out in five minutes! It wasn’t freshly prepared and again, the fries were less than desirable. 4. The 3rd order was a caprese salad, and that was the only decent meal served. There is a little market/deli up the street…..go there….spend your money and time wisely.

Great options! I think the menu may change throughout the seasons. This is a great choice to eat. We were only in Fort Davis for the evening, and I think we made the right choice choosing Blue Mountain Bar and Grill. I recommend coming here for an early dinner before the star party at the McDonald Observatory. We were seated immediately, and we chose outside dining. It took maybe 35 minutes before any server stopped by our table to greet us and we weren’t told about the wait from the host…so that was a bit disheartening…especially when the servers first went to tables of the same size who were seated after us. However, it did seem like the restaurant was super busy. Just our experience. I still recommend the restaurant if you’re visiting!

I love getting my coffee here! Always tastes amazing and the lady serving always is working so hard every time i go in! Always a smile and you can tell she enjoys what she does! During the 4th of July weekend she had a very long line and down to one machine. She kept working hard to serve as fast as she could and was very nice in letting everyone know about the wait and apologizing for it! Definitely one of my favorite shops!

Great place to grab speciality coffee in Fort Davis! Michelle and her staff were extremely accommodating when cycle fest got rained out! Their breakfast plates are amazing and the hash browns are delicious. We appreciate the warm customer service and we will be back next year!

This is a weird place. There were no other customers, either time we went. They do have coffees (my latte was fine) but only a couple of food choices, danish or danish, and very few of those (obviously not locally made). The service was ok but I thought the lady didn't really want to be there.

Yesterday...I woke up got dressed. The wife and I said let's go to the coffee shop. We did my wife ordered carnal macciato and as for I the hot latte with soy and coconut....I got sadness in a cup. Never knew you could actually taste sadness and wasn't even hot sadness. Both drinks were like warm and tasted like warmed up watered down baby formula.....sadness to go was what we had. Also the lady really didn't seem like wanted us to be there....that you ain't from round these parts vibe so goin get vibe.

If you’re planning to get some breakfast and caffeine to start your long day of exploring Fort Davis, Davis Mountains State Park and McDonald Observatory, don’t include this place in your plans. The hours on the sign are fictional and you’ll be eating at the grocery store instead. We drove back by at 0845 Wednesday and they still weren’t open.

I was pleasantly surprised that Ft. Davis’s Double Shot Coffee Lounge could actually compete with many cafes in larger cities. Plenty of seating inside, very clean, great service.

Sooooo charming and cozy. Go for coffee or stay for breakfast! Love the vibe and the service. I will be back!

Great place in Fort Davis, Texas 🇨🇱 to stock up on sundry grocery items. I had a really tasty 😋 made-to-order sandwich (🥪). Staff are super friendly!

Great place to stop when in Ft Davis or the general area for freshly made sandwiches. Vegetarian & Gluten Free bread available. Gluten free items items available in the market for purchase. Friendly atmosphere.

I had the best time here. It’s so genuine and so cute I felt like I was a country girl getting off my shift at the ranch. The “Rachel” sandwich was SOOOO delish 10/10 recommend. The caprese salad had such a juicy tomato I almost shed a tear. Also small shout out to Caleb’s name shirt, who needs name tags anyways?

As a Hispanic woman: wonderful breakfast biscuit sandwiches and croissant sandwiches. Coffee was out of this world delicious (Big Bend Roasters) Good people, good vibes, good food. Cinnamon roll had that crispy icing and soft bread omg so delicious. 10/10 recommend, will stop here again.

Hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. They have a huge collection of freshly made stuff. I ordered potato salad and Cole slaw. Both are amazing.

Hands down, the deli has the best sandwiches I have ever had. Expertly made. Plus, the grocery has a great selection of healthy fare and pantry staples. The fellow that checked us out was so helpful, funny and was always singing a tune. One of our favorite places in Fort Davis!

My sandwich was amazing and tasted so fresh, I wish I had taken a picture. The chocolate chip cookies were also phenomenal.

One of the few options in town. They don’t take credit cards but they do Venmo. Simple but cozy, clean and service was fast. We ordered beef tacos and Chille Relleno. Food was good, and we will certainly go back when visiting town. No alcohol beverages available.

Wow, this is where I'd go if I only had time to eat at just one place in Fort Davis. We had breakfast, and it was great. The faces were friendly, and the place had a family feel. We had the pancakes, eggs, bacon, burrito, and this breakfast plate. I can't remember what it was called, but yum... Look at the photo. It consisted of tortilla strips, eggs, onions, peppers, and hashbrowns. It was like a deconstructed midas tacos.

Breakfast was great! Chilaquiles, and Pancakes with eggs and hash browns. They are cash only, but do have the option to Venmo.

Breakfast Burritos and homemade tortillas look no further also try the menudo! Lupitas has something for every age! Authentic Mexican food and tasty before a long trail ride. #SupportLocal #eatlocal #breakfastburrito #homemade #FtDavisTX #menudo

Stopped in for breakfast while in the Fort Davis area. Good-sized and tasty breakfast burritos. Fresh scratch-made green and red salsas with a nice balance between flavor and mild/medium heat to my palette. The place is super clean with a nice staff providing counter service. Indoor seating as well as outside picnic tables. Cash only. Would definitely stop again.

Coming through here on a Sunday afternoon it’s one of the only two places open- until 3 pm. They serve American and Mexican food – until they run out. Cash only-no plastic. Brisket tacos had a lot of fat and very bland. Avocado hamburger was freshly made. The burger was mushy, and the shoestring fries were cold - probably because they were sitting in the window waiting awhile to be delivered. I had to walk up to get our food. A cook and server/cashier manning the joint. Inside seats about 30. Outside has a decent sitting area. Fountain drinks had a good syrup ratio. Water had a good taste, too. Happy they were open.

Great food but be aware they do not accept card (cash, check, Venmo, and Cash app.

Blue Bell ice cream served from inside an old train caboose. Waffle cones, regular cones, shakes and malts. Simple roadside stop. Nice little outdoor patio. I see some complaints about prices, I thought it was very reasonable. I had a 16 ounce chocolate malt for 6 bucks. Easily had 3 good Scoops in it. My teen daughters had waffle cones with two scoops and it was more than they could eat. For Blue Bell the price is fair and the space is fun. Choo-choo-choose it!

We really like this place! The iced cream selection is wonderful and the quality is very high. I would love to give this place five stars, but they have no restroom and there is none within walking distance, which can make it rather difficult to wash up the sticky babies.

I love trains, so anything to do with a train is a must do for me. My son loves trains and ice cream, so this was a must see for him as well. We experienced friendly service and my husband as well as my son loved their ice cream. Husband had pistachio and son had cotton candy. I’d recommend it and I’m sure we’ll stop by again. Please check out our video coverage of this location on Hammocks to Coasters on YouTube.

Fun. Unique. Good ice cream. Good prices for quantity.

The ice cream itself is fairly priced, they have most blue bell flavors here. The caboose is very cute and definitely makes for a good photo op. The service is super hit or miss. One day, the employees there looked like they wanted to die and the next it was mediocre. Fort Davis is a cute west Texas town and this place is somewhere you should stop at but just be aware that you might have to deal with some unenthusiastic teenagers working there.

A casual, fun place to pick your favorite snack from around two dozen flavors of Blue Bell ice cream. A retired caboose is the perfect place to wander through and choose your dessert in. The courtyard outside offers seating areas and some games for all ages. Stop in the antique shop next door for some finds.

Can't go wrong with Blue Bell ice-cream in Texas, eh? To their credit, they had more than two dozen varieties on offer. There are no excuses about running short on any variety - they literally "run" next door to get a replenishment bucket. The plain waffle was nice. But no mix-ins were on offer. Like the idea to "force" customers to go outside and use the patio stone furniture as intended. There are some things to let kids enjoy themselves. All in all a satisfying and pleasant experience.

Very informative. My 5 year old loved the Junior Ranger activity. Be advised the visitor center is closed for lunch from noon-1pm so you’ll need to plan accordingly to pay for your admission.

We decided to spend a night in Fort Davis, mainly to attend the Star party at the McDonald’s observatory. During the day we decided to check out Fort Davis National Historic Site . A lot on interesting historical information about the “Wild West’, but also really enjoyed exploring the area, and hiking around the hills and beautiful rock formations. Cool place to visit while in town!

Great place to see some of the American history. This kind of places bring back memories western movies, and you do think they are pretty close to reality. Take it easy as sun is relentless in the site, but stepping into the restored buildings show how much immediate cool you get compare to outside.

The Fort Davis Mountain fort is a serene place for historical memories and learning. Nicely decorated and furnished fort buildings provide the visitor with a detailed view of life at the Fort. Nicely kept paths lead you through the visitor areas to explore areas of 200 years ago. Nestled in the little town of Fort Davis, which is also full of history. The Limpia Hotel, bookstore and many other shops are awaiting your view. Don't forget to stop by the Prude Ranch and McDonalds Observatory. Catching a star party can be stunning on a clear warm Texas night!

The Fort Davis National Historic Site is very interesting. They have done a great job at preserving and restoring buildings. You can learn a lot from all the information posted around the site.

This was an unexpected find! We were on a road trip through West Texas and stayed in Ft. Davis en route to Big Bend. We decided to go see the Fort, since we were near by. This place was amazing! So much history, and so much work has been done to restore the fort to what it was. Plus I saw my first live tarantula in the wild.

This place is great! All the buildings are original. The grounds are pet friendly except inside the welcome center. The rangers are nice and took their time to answer our questions. Lots of interesting history there.

A really nice state park with miles of back country trails and the old CCC trail that links to Fort Davis national historic site. Over three days, I had lots of fun hiking all the trails, and also spent some time in the two birding 'blinds'. It was my first time seeing Acorn Woodpeckers and have posted the pic of the pole across from the interpretive center where they are storing their acorns. The two adjacent poles have several woodpecker nests. The park workers were really nice and helpful, and I appreciated the sign-in/sign-out process for the back country, which added a layer of safety for those 12+ mile hikes.

A Peaceful Escape with Stunning Views Davis Mountains State Park is a true Texas gem! If you're looking for a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and take in some absolutely breathtaking scenery, this is it. The hiking trails are well-maintained and offer a great mix of challenge and reward—especially the Skyline Drive Trail, which gives you panoramic views that are worth every step. The wildlife is abundant (we spotted deer and tons of birds), and the starry skies at night are nothing short of magical. Campsites are spacious and clean, and the staff is incredibly helpful and welcoming. The historic Indian Lodge is also a unique bonus—great for those who want comfort with their adventure. Whether you're camping, hiking, stargazing, or just passing through, Davis Mountains State Park offers a peaceful, beautiful escape that’s hard to beat. Definitely a must-visit for nature lovers!

Amazing place for hiking. My 2 year old toddler enjoyed walking through mini obstacles and the view is breathtaking. We luckily got to see the sunset, which was beautiful. Worth visiting. If it's not windy, fun place to picnic.

Had a very nice visit. Staff was friendly and guided me to the perfect hiking trail for my abilities. They have a great bird blind. The Davis mountains are beautiful, especially against the brilliant blue sky.

Beautiful views of one of the coolest state parks in Texas! The scenic drive is worth it, any time of day. Make sure you check out both bird blinds / animal observation areas, and take time to appreciate the structures made by the CCC. If you’re lucky you might even see a family of Javelina trotting through! If the Indian Lodge is open, defintely try to stay in the historic part-LBJ and Lady Bird used to stay there too.

What a phenomenal hidden gem off the beaten path. Came here for a campground night- stayed for two! Filled with great trails to hike. Beautiful scenery. Campground is a little tight in some places but it’s my own fault for picking a smaller spot. It had a tree and was perfect though! Site has electric and water. There was full sewer sites too but I didn’t opt for that. The showers were clean and decent- not bad at all. The hikes involve some rocky scrambles so definitely wear proper footwear. Saw a lot of birds and insects. I even saw a tarantula!! No snakes but I’m sure they’re there. Beautiful sky at night. Campground fee is affordable. You pay a day rate if you’re just coming for the day. It’s clean and well maintained as are the trails. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved it here. Would’ve stayed longer if I hadn’t been in a time crunch. Staff were super friendly too. The only downside is no cell service- least not for me. Unless I had hiked the top of a mountain. The headquarters/office had free wifi but I needed to walk up there to use it. It was a great way to disconnect !

We decided to spend a night in Fort Davis mainly to attend the Star party at the McDonald’s observatory. During the afternoon we decided to check out the state park. Friendly staff, beautiful views and a well maintained park. Didn’t have enough time to do any hiking but will come back for sure.

Cool roadside attraction in Fort Davis with an impressive rattlesnake collection. The guy that owns the place has nearly all venomous snakes of Texas in his collection along with a good amount of out of state snakes and some inverts. It'll take you about 15 minutes to slowly make your way through the entire collection. The place is a bit tourist-trappy but then again so is almost everything in Fort Davis. Worth a stop if you're passing through town though.

Neat little stop in the small town of Fort Davis. The museum is small but has numerous rattlesnakes and a few spiders. There are signs over each snake giving you information. You will most likely hear the rattles. Don't be surprised if you find a couple that lunge towards the glass at you (usually the smaller ones). The lady at the counter was friendly. The experience would have been more fun if there was more interaction with staff (instead of walking around alone feeling an awkward silence). It was still neat though. Admission was $5 for adults.

For five bucks this is worth a stop in. I had an hour to burn between dinner and a star party at the observatory. They have a great collection of snakes, spiders and other things to give you nightmares. All the snakes were easy to view. You could probably spend anywhere from 15 min to an hour depending if you just want to look or read every description.

Real fun place if you like snakes, especially rattlesnakes. Kinda small, but plenty to look at. Definitely worth the $5 investment.

Very clean kept snakes. Didn't realize there were so many different kinds of rattlesnakes. They did have a couple of non venomous snakes for sale.

Awesome, quirky, a Ft. Davis staple for us. The owner is super knowledgeable and always a good time to conversate with. Last trip in the Mojave was extra spicy which gave me a great opportunity to teach my kid what a defensive stance in a rattle snake looks like. Always worth a stop in to check out the snakes!

Didn't live up to the hype. My review may be biased being born and raised in the desert. But being that we live somewhat close this may have been a spot we visited often. Sorry it just wasn't worth it to me. The room was chilly. I hope the snakes get something more than those tiny enclosures.

No very friendly people in this small town, the police was even worst. Next time I go to the area I will go directly to MARFA just 24 miles south. The only nice place the state park and the observatory, otherwise I am not coming back. Marfa in the other hand, the people were very helpful and friendlier, the food is excellent and on top you can drive 10 minutes to see the Marfa lights at night.

Cool stop to sightsee!
