It's the best place in town, with good reason. Historic. Great atmosphere. Cool bar. Very good food. And there is an excellent wine list!!!
I had an unexpectedly great meal of chicken fried wild boar! Yum. Totally unexpected. The entertainment was superb. Local color topped off the perfect New Year's celebration!
Great piece of history still standing. Live music is quality. Food is ok but service and a few unique items on the menu are draws. The ambience was main attraction for me. The front porch is also a great place to watch sun go down.
You have to try their Texas BBQ and pecan pie chocolate desert (may not the exact names) . Don't really care for their street tacos and music though.
It's sort of touristy and a little noisy, but the food was very good and the place - a former movie theater, then a roofless performance venue, and now a restaurant in a ghost town -- is definitely different.
We happened upon the Starlight on Fat Tuesday, after reading about it for a couple of years. Great gumbo and steaks, nice attentive servers that could joke around with anyone. And just about every kind of person was at the Starlight. We gathered that the abnormal is normal for the Starlight. Many memories are made there.
Starlight Theatre had a great atmosphere, live music was playing, and the food and mixed drinks were awesome. It was a bit over priced, but not too bad.
I have been to Terlingua a handful of times, and I always include the Starlight because of it's good food and atmosphere. There was live music the night I was there, and the place had a decent crowd (it was off-season). I enjoyed the food, drink, and music, and so did my travel companion.
We went there on Friday night and Monday night and enjoyed the entertainment both times. The 2 for 1 burgers on Monday is a secret so they won't tell you. The locals know but we found out too late.
We ate at the Starlight Theatre with my family while in Terlingua - some locals advised us that this was one of the best places to eat in town, and I can see why! The place has a lot of charm, and the food was very good. A great place to people watch, have a beer, and a nice dinner.
