For decades, the steakhouse served as a place to relax, make deals and tell tall tales. It was an unassuming restaurant from the outside of its Main Street location, but it was warm and memorable on the inside. The current location opened in 1994. In January, the restaurant’s larger-than-life founder Richard Ferris died at 84. He was present at many community events throughout his more than 50 years in Kerrville, where he first came to work for Mooney Aircraft.

One of the restaurant’s signature dishes remains a 32-ounce steak dubbed the “saddle blanket.”
