Starlight Theatre

About This Establishment

The Chicken Fried Texas Antelope comes through with a tender bite and a beer-gravy that clings from the first bite to the last. The meat carries a clean brine and a warm heat that lingers, while the gravy pools and thickens the moment you lift your fork. The Famous Diego Burger spreads wide, a chunky, share-worthy stack that smears grease across the plate. Live music smears the air with energy as the porch faces the Chisos Mountains and the crowd toasts to Big Bend vibes.
