Kerrville Favorites

For Eatin’, Drinkin’ and Sleepin’:

These are a few of our favorite restaurants in the Kerrville area.

  • Branding Iron
  • Branding Iron Restaurant in the Y.O. Ranch Hotel, 2033 Sidney Baker (Hwy 16), again another consistently good place to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner; and their Sunday Brunch is to die for!

  • The Rails
  • The Rails, 615 East Schreiner St. Located in the restored historic 1915 Kerrville Train Depot.  The San Antonio Express-News calls Rails “a small gem polished with local flavor and a bit of history.” This has to be one of Kerrville’s best restaurants. Excellent food, wine menu, and mouth watering dessert selections.

  • Tacos To Go
  • Taco to Go, 428 Sidney Baker (corner of Schreiner St.) In business since 1987, Taco to Go is the place to go for a quick, freshly made taco (breakfast or lunch). Their huevos rancheros stacks up well against those you get at the pricier eaterias.

To cool off and wet your whistle, there are 2 good historic bars to cater to your needs.

  • Elm Water Hole, in the Lobby of the Y.O. Ranch Hotel. You’ll feel like you’ve gone back in time when you open the heavy wooden and stained glass doors.
  • Liar's Pit
  • The Bar in Cowboy Steak House. No one is a stranger here.  Very relaxing environment, and the Liar’s Pit makes for an amusing stop. You never know who you’ll run into here.

For a place to stay while in Kerrville:

  • Y O Hotel
  • Of course, the Historic Y.O. Ranch Hotel has to be our favorite. The hotel is full of antiques and artifacts,  the spirit of the Wild West with an elegant flare.
