The Water Stop in Marfa, Texas, offers a culinary journey that extends far beyond its accolade of having Marfa’s Best Burger. Located at 1300 W San Antonio, this New American Restaurant is a treasure trove of unique and flavorful dishes.
Our dining experience at The Water Stop was highlighted by an array of exceptional dishes, starting with their Greek Salad. Priced at $15, this salad was a delightful medley of tomatoes, bell peppers, English cucumbers, Kalamata olives, and pepperoncini. The inclusion of Bulgarian sheep milk feta, drizzled with a red wine vinaigrette and garnished with fresh mint, basil, and parsley, transformed this salad into an extraordinary and refreshing culinary creation.
The highlight of our meal, however, was the Seared Sea Scallops. These scallops were a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to culinary excellence, being perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. Served in a savory miso broth and accompanied by an avocado cucumber relish and an arugula + red plum salad, every bite was a harmonious blend of tastes and textures.
Completing our meal at The Water Stop was an indulgent foray into their ice cream selection, featuring 12 diverse flavors. Each flavor, from the classic Black Raspberry to the innovative Peanut Butter Bailey’s and the locally-inspired Texas Praline, was a delight in itself, providing a sweet and satisfying end to our dining experience.
