Heitmiller has a great location, just off of I-35 and Texas Loop 340, as well as great food and a very fun atmosphere. My best friend had raved about his time there when he was with his family, so one Saturday he and I drove there for lunch. I have since been back, and I enjoyed it almost as much the second time as the first time. This is the story of the first time I went to Heitmiller, and I plan to go back many more times.
When I first arrived, I noticed that the building was quite huge, but there were hardly any cars in the parking lot. This could most likely be due to the fact that it was about 2:30 PM, hardly a busy time for lunch. The first things I noticed when I walked in, was how they embraced the western atmosphere. The interior looked country-western to the core, accompanied by the Saloon, their bar, to the left and the Veranda, a gift shop, to the right. I felt that Heitmiller really pulled off the theme well, which added to my dining experience.
As for the food, I ordered a 12 oz. New York Strip, with a baked sweet potatoes and corn as sides. It took a while for my food to come out, but once it did I was very pleased. My steak was prepared very well, and was full of juice and flavor when it arrived. Both my corn and my sweet potatoes were still steaming, but the scent was not overwhelming. As I began to eat, I was very happy with the quality of the steak, corn, and the sweet potatoes. All the food was delicious, and I was very happy when I received the bill and it was only about $20.
Overall, I had a great experience at Heitmiller Steakhouse. My food was very good, and I had fun sitting in the country-western themed restaurant waiting for my food. The only negative thing I have to say about the place is that the food takes a bit to arrive, but once it does, the food is great. I have since been back at a time it was much more crowded, but still had a great time. Definitely a new favorite restaurant for me.
