Upon stepping inside, you’ll see what gives the restaurant its name. Not only are there deer skulls and taxidermized heads everywhere you look, but also several hundred pairs of antlers hanging from the ceiling!

Ample outdoor seating is available as well, so snag a table on the patio if you prefer to look out at the gorgeous Central Texas scenery!

When it comes to the food, regulars will tell you that the chicken-fried steak is a must-try. A crisp outside gives way to a tender white meat center, and the river of cream gravy on top is icing on the cake. You may not even need to pick up your knife - these bad boys cut like butter!

The chicken-fried steak comes in two sizes, small and large, so even if your appetite is Texas-sized, rest assured you won’t leave the table hungry.

Your meal comes with two sides, which feature all the usual Southern suspects like mashed potatoes, creamed corn, fried okra, and mac and cheese, plus Texas toast.

Other entrees include pork chops, steaks, liver, enchiladas, and more - but we highly recommend that at least one person in your group gets the CFS!
