Yesterday Shane and I took his dad and his dad's fiance to Granbury to bum around for the day. The original plan was to go to Fredericksburg, but Shane and I were broke and there were no rooms available. The weather was awful, it poured all stinkin' day. I only made it about a 1/4 of the way around the square before I received a text from Shane, "In Hank's having a beer", which sounded so much better then shopping in the rain. Eventually our guests caught up with us after they had finished their tour of the square. I took absolutely no pictures since it was raining. I am planning a trip back to finish the shopping since I did find one store that had lots of stuff that I loved. Rosalie (Shane's dad's fiance) bought me a cookbook stand which I've been thinking about getting for a while. The store that had lots of stuff had one that was super cute and she was sweet enough to buy it for me (not because I was too broke, but because she wanted to do something nice, I'm really not that broke). Any way, after a few beers we made our way to Glen Rose. I put in the address to the Loco Coyote Grill (795 County Road 1004, Glen Rose, TX 76043) in my GPS, but after about 30 minutes of driving I had lost faith in it. I really thought we were never going to find this place, but low and behold, we made it. Seriously, it's off the beaten path. We pulled up and swam to the front porch and made our way inside. The walls and ceiling are particle board and there is for real sawdust on the floor. The restrooms were, honest to Pete, outhouses (I did not experience this first hand). We looked over the menu and all decided to order each the rib plate which came with 2 sides. Before I go any further I must show you the 3 pictures I did take (the pics don't do the massiveness of amount of food):
This is just one order, we had FOUR!!! Word to the wise, split 1 plate between 2 people. Needless to say, we had leftovers. Oh my GOSH, were these some goooooood ribs. The potato salad was wonderful and the BBQ sauce was amazing. The toast was even a bit garlic-y and delish! I barely made a dent in my ribs, but we did have them for dinner tonight and they were even better the second time around. And yes, we still have leftovers, so we froze those for a later date. The atmosphere was true Texas. On the radio was Willie Nelson (Angel Flying too Close to the Ground), Jerry Jeff Walker (Sangria Wine), and Robert Earl Keen (Gringo Honeymoon), I have no idea what was after that because of my food induced coma. We will definitely be going back to this place.
Thanks Amy Van for the recommendation.
