Black Cur - Coleman (TX)

5 /5 Christopher Whited: Great little inconspicuous restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. This is one of the most unique restaurants in Texas with simple, rugged, yet classy decor. The whole place is very inviting. We had the Brussels sprouts and focaccia and ricotta as appetizers and both were fantastic. There was a few different choices between pasta dishes and steaks. The menu was simple but well thought out. They had some of the best and most reasonably priced cocktails with both classics and their own renditions of well known drinks, the pear martini was my favorite. I recommend calling or texting at least the day before for a reservation. The bar is open seating and you can walk in but I didn’t see anyone there for the duration of our meal.

5 /5 Anthony Wyatt: The steak was incredible! Service was excellent and had a romantic vibe.

4 /5 Danielle Sternisha: Headed back from a road trip, a friend recommended Rancho Pizzeria and Black Cur in Coleman as I went through. They have the same owner. I didnt think I would have an opportunity to try Black Cur as they dont open until 5 however, it was 5 when I wrapped up my snack next door so popped over. It was said I had good timing as reservations are recommended at this quaint, higher end restaurant. I sat at the bar and started with a dirty martini. I will say, it was not my favorite but not bad. Bartender and other staff I interacted with were so friendly and professional!!! Answered questions, made recommendations...just really good people who appear to enjoy what they are doing. That was a positive addition to the experience. I was hoping for the Beef Tartar I had seen on the online menu however they no longer have it. While sipping my cocktail in this perfectly lit space, admiring the atmosphere and decorations, saw some folks with GIANT biscuits followed by their meal with amazing looking fries. I LOVE fries! I knew I was not there to finish a meal but needed to try some food and wanted something more unique so I ordered the Broken Arrow Nilgai. Its an 8oz Korean-spiced antelope leg filet w/pecan pesto and bread and butter pickle shallots on top. I ordered mine medium rare. Of course I added an order of fries! Nilgai first....OUTSTANDING! Cooked perfectly and just melts in your mouth! The pesto was not heavy on acid which was great as the shallots balanced everything perfectly! Such an AMAZING dish! Definitely recommend and would order again! Fries. I was slightly disappointed. Dont get me wrong, they were definitely good. I happen to prefer my fries natural. I wouldnt say these were coated however almost like a quick dusting of flour or corn starch to give them an extra crispy bite. I ended with one final cocktail, simple vodka & soda which was perfect. For those reading this that think you cant mess that up...you certainly can! If youre going through Coleman or are like me and will jump in the car and go on an adventure to try great food, make it a point to stop at Black Cur!! You will be delighted you did!

5 /5 Amanda Carr: My mother and I had a dinner date and shared some great dishes. We had great service from Alycia and loved the atmosphere. We had Black Pepper Biscuits, RL Bandera Quail, Beeman NY Strip Steak and Wood-fired Broccolini Romesco. Delicious! My favorite dish was the Quail, a must try!

5 /5 Acce Bere: The hype is real…the service was great and the food was truly divine! We shared an app, salad and MASSIVE steak and sides!! The crab cake arancini was the best crab cake I’ve ever tasted. Followed by avocado and hearts of palm salad (that balsamic reduction was PERFECT!) We also shared the 24 oz. Ribeye, Mac and cheese, duck fat potatoes, and roasted carrots.
