The food here is perfect. I had the bison tenderloin. It's the best steak I've ever had. I sampled the mac and cheese. It was amazing. I've also had the brussel sprouts. They were amazing. Our group had a few other appetizers I forgot the name of but they were all amazing.

Great texas southern themed restaurant. Service was prompt and friendly. Food was equally wonderful. The chicken and waffles with white sausage gravy were amazing. Would recommend visiting to anyone that enjoys southern breakfast.

My husband and I ate at the 97 west and Josh was our sever. Wow what a wonderful experience. We sat outside on the patio at 6:30 in May and it was not terrible at all. Our service was great but talk about the signature drinks wow!! I had the bluebonnet cocktail ( show stopper ) wow amazing. My husband had a beer as well! But let’s get to the food! We both scored our meals at a 10 and if the rating could go higher we would! We had the 7 oz filet with skillet potatoes and I had the chicken fried New York strip with mash potatoes, Mac and cheese and gravy! This over is a place you don’t want to miss out on! Top tier experience!

This meal blew my mind! Starting with the cocktails, the apps, and the entree not one single thing disappointed! Our server was well versed on the menu and made fantastic recommendations that everyone tried and loved! The atmosphere is great, I caught myself looking around at all the different details in the decorations. 10/10 recommend!

Food was really good. We sat at the bar one evening and had the shrimp tostadas and the charcuterie board. The bartender was super friendly and helpful. We then had breakfast at the bar the next morning. The person working that morning spent more time on setting up the bar than attending to us. Could have done better.

REALLY DELICIOUS FOOD EXCELLENT SERVICE Overall my wife and I along with two of our grownup children had an amazing time here for dinner APR 2025. But I’ll just start on a bad note. We did have a reservation and arrived 5 minutes early. We were told to wait - and ended up waiting 25 minutes. And was seated 20 minutes after our reservation. That was a bit disappointing - and also caused us to be late for the rodeo. Well anyway. It did not ruin our experience here. The staff (Reception area) is generally a bit reserved - but professional. Our waitress was Dulce - just an amazing person. She really helped make this experience great. She is kind, polite, has a great humour, is attentive, respectful and professional. Yes. She really amazed us. I love the style and decor of 97West. Just a really great vibe overall. The menu is not too big, which I believe is a good thing. Better have a smaller menu and excel at it than have a lot of choices and be mediocre. And 97West excel at their food. They do have quite a nice selection of beverages. But it would be nice with a greater selection of wines from Texas. Could include Reddy Vineyard or Becker Vineyard. The food tasted amazingly good. For starters we had: BLT deviled eggs Shishito pepper crab dip Charcuterie board The eggs were ok - needed a little more spice - but not bad at all. The charcuterie board was big enough for 2-3 persons as a starter. For main courses we had: Bison tenderloin Broken Arrow Ranch Antelope 2 x Redfish All main courses were absolutely amazing. Definitely a place to dine if visiting the The Stockyards. Make sure to have a reservation :-)
