Beefmaster's in Ballinger is hit and miss, I can't recommend it in good conscience.
The little small town type drive in hamburger place right across from the hospital/nursing home is good and cheap.
Have you been to the Lowake Steakhouse?
It's nearby and worth a visit.
That place is an area institution and has a website.
http://www.forttours.com/pages/tocballinger.aspI believe The Shed in Wingate is closed now, but it was always good.
I'm going from Marble Falls to Lubbock tomorrow and will eat lunch at Hard 8 BBQ in Brady, before getting to Ballinger and driving on to points northwest.
Gig 'em, FAST FRED '65.
Before the world wide web, village idiots usually stayed in their own village.
