The restaurant also features chicken, steaks, calf's liver and other daily lunch specials. Prices are extremely reasonable. Since 1958, Doyle Phillips has been serving up a variety of steaks, catfish and burgers in a modest beige building with handcrafted wooden toys crammed onto shelves and counters in the dining room. El Conquistador offers various Tex-Mex specialties in a handsome dining room with saltillo floors and Aztec murals. Mesquite-smoked fajitas are the specialty.
Prices are inexpensive to moderate.
Clem Mikeska's features premium beef and homemade sausage, as well as ham, pork, ribs and chicken. For those who like the barbecue joint atmosphere but not the meat, there's the Clem Mikeska Soup and Salad Barn , located in a small building behind the barbecue place. Established in 1850 as an actual Stagecoach Inn, this wonderful, old restaurant has served Sam Houston, George Armstrong Custer and Shangai Pierce.
