My brother and I stopped here after a 13 hour drive from Houston. They were packed so it took a while to get a table, and it was too cool to sit outside. Our server was friendly and attentive even tho she had her hands full. Food was good.I'd like to be there in warmer weather when live music is playing. Would be fun.

I had the best chicken fried steak I've ever had the other night. The Burgers here are also amazing. Service is excellent, though it can get pretty busy at certain times of the day. I highly recommend the Bad Rabbit as some of the best area eats! They open at 8:00am and close at 10:00pm, If you are here during the day, you can also get Ice and beer, showers or do laundry.Parking: Parking can get tight during the peak breakfast, lunch and dinner hours, you might have to park below and walk up (a very easy walk).

The Bad Rabbit is fairly basic as a cafe, but being in the middle of nowhere, even in its simplicity, it is truly a great place. The burgers are good, the beer is cold and they hand batter their chicken fried steaks. The people who work there are friendly and the place is clean and tidy. Unless you're already staying at Terlingua Ranch, the Bad Rabbit is a long way from anywhere. Sometimes, they have live music or other events, so consider the drive but be sure to top off your tank before you head out.

Friendly staff and great food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The chef even made special, off menu cinnamon rolls for us that were nearly as big around as my head! Prices were great. Staff even gave us some great ideas and tips for hiking the trails nearby. We ate at this restaurant for nearly every meal because we enjoyed it so much. Staying at this lodge is worth it for this restaurant alone.

The Bad Rabbit cafe at the Terlingua Ranch Lodge is always fantastic. Great food, friendly staff and rustic atmosphere. The live music on weekends is always a must as well. See y'all next time.

Breakfast was standard, service was lacking. They just need more help, maybe.Stopped for a quick breakfast. The server said we could sit down anywhere, but then kinda forgot us. It was 30 minutes before we just got up to order at the counter and get some coffee.Can’t mess up eggs and bacon, so that was good! The place was cozy, with indoor tables and some picnic tables outside. Glad it’s there since there’s nothing else around!

Great experience being served by a mom and her 2 children with her husband at cook. Food and service was delicious, beer was cheap and cold. Place is a gem in the desert (worth a 25 minute drive from the main road) but worth it. Patio is lovely, live music was nice and horseshoes game kept the kids occupied.

This is a fun cafe at the base of Terlingua Ranch. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but check ahead for non-peak hours. In the weekends there is live music from 6:30 to 8:30 that gets the whole place singing and dancing. Don't expect upscale menus, but good food served with a Texas size smile.

What a great surprise! Locals love it. Tourists love it. We'd planned to cook every night while RVing, but why when you've got such great service and great food?!? Had great pulled pork one night, great homemade chicken-fried steak the next. Good sides, including the broccoli and macaroni salad, and many more options. Come on, you are out in the middle of nowhere, did you expect to get good food too? Didn't expect it, but Bad Rabbit delivers. Shout out to Kaitlyn, who provided excellent service, but everyone we met here has been incredibly kind and generous. I'm going to miss not having this place near-by, even "at home in the city".Oh, I forgot to mention the impossible burger, which my wife made me try because she was sure it was meat. Not a lot of vegetarian options, but what they have seems to satisfy!

Excellent service with reasonable food. It's your only choice to eat out while at the ranch and they do not disappoint. Beautiful country!

Great food, reasonable price, wonderful staff! My most recent experience was definitely my best. Jennette (our server) promptly welcomed us (seemed very genuine) and then took our order after we were seated. She was very knowledgeable, patient and seemed to really enjoy her job! She made us feel right at home.Darrell made us a couple of mean burgers that were built exactly as we had requested & tasted excellent! What a great late lunch/early dinner. He also makes a great pizza!!!Earlier, we received similar service for breakfast from Blakely. And no review would be complete without mentioning "Dre" and his breakfast burritos!!! A "MUST HAVE" each morning, to start your day right! I've been coming here one week a month for the past nine months and I always appreciate Dre's breakfasts!!! A Gold Star for Jeannette and the gang!!! Thank you!************************************************************UPDATE: The above review was over two years ago. None of these wonderful people work there anymore, except Dre. I'm a local and I have not eaten there in well over a year...

Stayed here in the RV park section while visiting Big Bend and Terlingua. The cafe is great! I mean seriously in the middle of nowhere. Sixteen miles of paved road off the main road, then another 3 on gravel road. Well worth the ride. Everything we had was great. Meals were generous portions, tasted great, served hot. Service was efficient and cheerful. Could've eaten in the camper but enjoyed supporting the ranch. So-onion rings were good. The chicken strips were large and tasty. The burger (hot w/jalapeño bacon) was great. Fries were great. Had an omelette that was fluffy/thick and awesome. The fish & chips were also very good. The kitchen knows what they're doing and does it well! I will be trying more before we leave, but there's only so much I can eat.

Really groovy spot. Cool vibe and wait staff was awesome. We were camping on a friend's property in the ranch and we decided to run down there for some drinks and we were delighted. We ended up going back in the a.m. for breakfast. Coffee was not bad. Couldn't have been happier with everything. They even have a veggie burger.

Great service and food! We were lucky to hear Charlie and Judy play; that a delight!
