Tin Cup Cafe

If you are ever in the area of Texas and Decide to find a place on the i-10 for eating Stop, share a chat and grab a meal. Best burger I've had in years and the hospitality is free. If you're military and you're transferring and happen to stop here, don't be shy and leave a gift for the owners to included in their soon to be put up "military get a discount " sign. I sure did.

It's not much to look at, and if you aren't paying attention you'll go right past it. Do yourself a favor and turn around, go back and find this place! We were driving through TX on our way to Alabama and had stayed the night in Ft. Stockton. Once we got on the road we started looking for a place to stop for lunch and this was about the only place nearby without backtracking. But the reviews looked good so we decided to give it a shot. We walked in wearing our masks, looking every bit the couple from California. The place was full (it's not really big inside, so full is a relative term) of guys who didn't look like that at all. They were all ranch hands or something similar. They were all wearing their work clothes & boots, while I was wearing shorts and flip-flops! Though in my defense, I was also driving an F-150. It reminded me of the Pace picante sauce commercials from the '90s ("NEW YORK CITY???....... get a rope") Because for a second the place fell silent when we walked in. But the patrons were all regulars and couldn't have been nicer or more fond of the place. The lady who owns the cafe, as well as the motel where it's located, couldn't have been more gracious and friendly (her name has completely escaped me). Her young daughter-in-law was actually the first person we ran into on our way in, and she couldn't have been nicer. The free chips and salsa were excellent. She told us she just gets the chips from Sam's Club and heats them up in some oil, but the salsa is fresh and handmade by her. And it was delicious. The burgers may be the best my wife and I ever ate. Mine was wrapped in a tortilla, just the way I like it, and I added some of the homemade salsa to it. The beef was fresh and full of flavor. The fries were thick and crispy. And the people couldn't have been nicer. If I could give it 6 stars, I would. You won't regret this stop. I don't have any pictures of any of it, unfortunately, so the couple I posted are just a few miles away. The proprietor was nice enough to give us an alternate route back to the freeway that took us over the bridge and through some nice rolling hills. I just thought the weed sign was funny.

Best grilled cheese I’ve ever had. It was cheesy-goodness with the best amount of crisp to every bite. (Stumbled upon this hidden gem on a cross-country with my girlfriend and our dog. The mother and daughter there actually recommended CBD oil when we mentioned our 10-year-old weenie chihuahua (Wawa) gets seizures from time to time... It just so happened that at our very last stop on our journey, later on, our dog started having a seizure at the restaurant we were seated at. I ran to a smoke shop just down the plaza and got a bottle for our dog and when we gave her a couple drops she calmed down immediately. Her seizure just stopped. We simply can not express enough gratitude for their helpful suggestion - and Wawa says thank you too!)
