This West Texas town is full of stories that are as big as the West Texas sky they sit under.
Food
This joint started as a literal “shack” selling burritos at the fair and farmers markets in the area. Before long, they decided to go in on a year round spot. It’s a little more than a shack with some stools to sit on, but no dining room. All the burritos are handmade with delicious ingredients.
This historic hotel has had a restaurant for weary travelers since its days on the Bankhead Highway. They dining room now sells upscale American food with a twist. Everything is delicious, but one of the best things I’ve ever eaten is the New York strip topped with chimichurri and a fried egg.
Culture
This museum tells all the stories of the area, including the wild west, oil boom, and cattle ranching. There are artifacts from the thousands of years when the “big spring” was a watering hole for Native Indians. There is also a display to the lady matador who tamed bulls and captivated Texas.
This museum tells the story of when the Weber Air Force Base trained WW2 pilots to become bombardiers. There are historic planes and more, including the cockpit of a B-52 Stratofortress.
