The brisket and St. Louis BBQ fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs are a must.

After being open and bustling with customers for 30 years, they know what they’re doing and serve great food and desserts. Homey-feeling cozy decor compliment the excellent home-made feeling food.

6. Great American Steakburger

Great American Steakburger

2220 N Yarbrough Dr, El Paso, Texas, (915) 595-1772

7. Texas Roadhouse

Restaurant, Steakhouse, American

All those with peanut allergies, beware: the floors, tables, and basically any flat surface are covered in shells of peanuts from barrels sporadically placed throughout the restaurant. However tasty steaks and great BBQ are what the place is known for, in addition to a great bar. Between the tender sirloin steak and delectable rib-eye, you can’t go wrong, especially not when you ask them to top it off with jack cheese and onions. Texas Roadhouse even provides addictive bread rolls to keep your watering mouth occupied while you wait.
