West Texas Must-See

Great steaks, drinks, and ambiance in West Texas. Reservations are a must, recommend inside after dark since the bugs start to come out (especially after some rain). Visited with friends and had a blast!

Out of the Way - Delicious Steak

Buffalo Gap isn’t a place I would normally expect for a great steakhouse but Perini Ranch didn’t disappoint. My ribeye was cooked to perfection. The catfish was also extremely tasty. All in all a great place for a delicious lunch.
