This Tasty Texas Restaurant Is Home To The Biggest Steak We’ve Ever Seen
Hiding in the tiny town of Buffalo Gap (population: 463) is an unassuming restaurant with the most mouthwatering steak you’ve ever tried. Perini Ranch Steakhouse has been satisfying hungry stomachs with Texas-sized cuts of meat for nearly 40 years, using a secret family spice blend and cooking technique to guarantee perfection (not to mention it’s located on a working ranch complete with longhorns and a farmhouse for guests to stay overnight!). Check it out:
Formerly a chuck wagon, Perini Ranch Steakhouse has been operating out of its brick-and-mortar location since 1983. Over the past 36 years, the restaurant has received countless accolades from reputable publications such as Food Network and Texas Monthly.
Steaks range in size from eight to a whopping 22 ounces. Hand-trimmed, rubbed with a secret spice blend, and cooked over red-hot mesquite coals, these juicy slabs of meat will send your taste buds straight to heaven.
Choose between a ribeye, hamburger steak, filet mignon, and New York strip. Each one is made from only the finest Angus beef and cooked according to your own personal preference.
If the ultimate comfort food is what your heart desires, order a steak of the chicken-fried variety. The same high-quality meat is battered, crisped up to golden-brown perfection, and served with the creamiest gravy and two of your favorite country sides.
For those in the mood for a burger, you've come to the right place. The award-winning Ranch Burger, piled high with cheddar cheese, grilled mushrooms, green chiles, and onions, was featured on the Today Show!
Complete your meal with a strawberry shortcake, recipe courtesy of the owner's great-grandmother. Two sugar biscuits are filled and topped with warm strawberries; an old-fashioned glass bottle of heavy cream on the side.
Ample seating, both indoors and out makes the steakhouse a perfect venue for parties or family get-togethers. The simultaneously lively and laid-back atmosphere creates an ideal setting for any occasion.
Roam around outside and you just might stumble upon two of our state animals. No matter which side of the football rivalry you're on, longhorns are undeniably beautiful.
The other creature you'll encounter is a Texas-sized armadillo. He's Perini Ranch's most popular family photo op, so don't forget to stop by on your way out!
Top off the ranch experience with an overnight stay in one of two guest quarters. Sleeping between three and five, these charming farmhouses combine the simplicity of country life with modern creature comforts.
You’ll find the restaurant at 3002 FM 89, Buffalo Gap, TX 79508.
