Visitors to Fort Davis might get the wrong impression if they rely on the Chamber of Commerce’s website to find a place to eat. The Chamber’s dining listings are incomplete, often outdated, and even include closed restaurants. Yet, Fort Davis has a lively dining scene with a variety of choices—if you know where to look.
Big Bend Times, a private business, provides a comprehensive and accurate Fort Davis Restaurant Guide as a free community service, highlighting all the great places to eat in town. From upscale dining at Blue Mountain Bar & Grill to savory barbecue at Rock N Raul’s Smokehouse, Fort Davis has something for everyone. Local favorites like Antojitos Del Comal Salvadorenos offer authentic Salvadoran cuisine, and Stone Village Market serves healthy, gourmet deli items.
In contrast, the Chamber of Commerce, which receives over $100,000 annually from Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) dollars, has failed to maintain a reliable and up-to-date listing of local dining options. Some of the Chamber’s listings even include closed establishments like Too Hot for TABC, giving the misleading impression that the town’s food scene is lacking.
While Big Bend Times provides this service out of a commitment to the community, the Chamber’s mismanagement of its website undermines local businesses and tourism. Visitors and locals alike can rely on the Big Bend Times Fort Davis Restaurant Guide to find accurate and up-to-date information on the town’s diverse culinary offerings—ensuring they don’t miss out on any of the great places to eat that Fort Davis truly has to offer.
