Historic theater serving eclectic Texas eats & live music
"In Terlingua’s historic Starlight Theatre, one of my favorite places to eat, I reward a hard day’s hike with the ridiculously big burger, then linger on the old theater’s porch where locals and travelers relax, play guitars, hang out with their dogs, and drink beer; it’s a unique, eclectic place with great food that captures the town’s spirit—just don’t complain about the service." - Carrie Dennis Carrie Dennis Carrie Dennis is a New York City-based writer and editor with more than a decade of content strategy experience.

"A historic, eclectic gathering spot in Terlingua that doubles as a beloved place to eat and socialize; Adam Brower says, “One of my favorite places to eat is The Starlight Theater, and I’ll be honest, I can’t go to Terlingua without visiting it,” adding, “If I had a hard day hiking, I reward myself with their ridiculously big burger.” Evenings find locals and tourists on the old theater’s porch playing guitars, hanging out with dogs, and drinking beer—the place captures the town’s spirit but can be laid‑back about service, as Brower cautions: “You’re going to have to leave that kind of stuff at home if you visit Terlingua.”" - Carrie Dennis Carrie Dennis Carrie Dennis is a New York City-based writer and editor with more than a decade of content strategy experience.

"A converted miners’ venue that now operates as a saloon, restaurant and live-music spot drawing visitors for its lively atmosphere and regional fare; signature offerings include award-winning chili, brisket tacos and creative items like chicken-fried antelope with Lone Star beer gravy. It’s a memorable local hangout with strong ties to the area’s mining past." - Amanda Ogle Amanda Ogle Amanda Ogle is a writer and editor who specializes in travel, food and drink, sustainability, and general lifestyle topics.
