Nestled at the southern tip of the Davis Mountains in West Texas, Reata Restaurant has been a staple of Southwestern cuisine for nearly two decades. Named after the majestic ranch in the 1950s movie “Giant,” Reata embodies the strength, spirit, and excitement of the old West. This connection is not just in name but in the culinary experience that pays homage to the film’s stars, James Dean, Rock Hudson, and Elizabeth Taylor.
The journey of Reata began with a simple desire for great food. West Texas rancher Al Micallef and Fort Worth businessman Mike Evans opened the first Reata in Alpine, Texas, in 1995. From there, the brand expanded to include the nationally renowned Fort Worth location, which survived one of the most destructive tornadoes in U.S. history. It’s been a privilege serving the communities of Alpine and Fort Worth, and the restaurant looks forward to many more years to come.
Reata’s menu is a celebration of Southwestern flavors, offering dishes like Lemon Crusted Salmon with Garlic Herb Cream and the Reata Chili Cheeseburger. The chef features specialties such as Tortilla Crusted Chicken with Tequila Lime Glaze and a Chipotle Cream Cheese Grilled Chicken Wrap served with fries, showcasing the restaurant’s commitment to both tradition and innovation.
To accommodate its patrons, Reata has updated its operating hours. Dinner is available from Thursday to Monday, between 5 PM to 9 PM, while lunch is served on Sunday and Monday from 11:30 AM to 2 PM. Located at 203 N 5th St in Alpine, Texas, Reata offers a scenic dining experience that matches the beauty of its surroundings.
For those looking to enjoy a meal that reflects the spirit of Texas, Reata Alpine is the destination. Whether it’s for the flavorful dishes or the rich history, a visit to Reata is an experience in itself.
