Well Sheik it was not cheaper

It may "look like a large tourist trap" to someone who's has only seen the old school website. It is larger than Perini but the panoramic West TX views and numerous dining rooms don't make it seem large or like a tourist trap. Comparing the locations Cattleman's is about 40 miles from downtown EP and 5 miles north of I-10 on a road that is seldom traveled by anyone but ranchers and people going to Cattleman's. Hardly your typical definition of a tourist trap. You are familiar with Perini's location.

The meat is good at both places but Cattleman's is comparable to many steaks I have had at "fine steak places" across the country. Even though the decor is not as refined. I have not experienced the same at Perini.

Yancy please explain to me how Abilene is in West Texas when it is closer to the eastern border than the western border?

Personally, I-35 is my dividing line between East and West Texas.

The geography changes dramatically just west of Fort Worth and begins to relect the high desert climates of the Southwest -- different then Dallas, Waco, Temple, etc.

Wikipedia, although not a perfect source, supports Abilene being in West Texas.........

Perrini's is still hands down better then Cattleman's .......

and I welcome the hazing on my failure to properly link to wikipedia.........sorry.

the El Paso western border or the Seminole western border?

Ahh Pojos - the best breakfast you could get for three dollars (if you didn't mind the smoke)

K-Bobs steakhouse - All I remember is the salad bar wagon and some tasty vegetable soup

The old Taco Villa on 8th street...
LA Bodega for fancy dinners...
Jumburrito in the morning...
La Esperanza
Permian Basin Hamburger Company
Watts Burger

Makes me miss Odessa (just a little though)

what blows my mind is that Angelo is 40 miles out from the geographical center of texas but is considered west texas. I've never understood that.

c-jags,

The reason is simple, Zane Gray defined the West as beginning west of the 100 meridian and that is about 15 miles east of Angelo!
