A short drive from the ranch is Loco Coyote Grill. It is a local favorite: great food and drinks, indoor and outdoor seating, and live music most Friday and Saturday evenings

This is just down the road from the ranch. They have an indoor/outdoor feel to this restaurant and the beer and food selection are great! Try the jalapeño poppers!

This is one of our favorite Tex-Mex restaurants in all of North Texas. Make sure you ask for their freshly made tortillas and order off the speciality menu. Our favorites are the El Sombrero and the Pollo Suprema.

We recommend getting reservations before arriving as this little gem gets booked up quickly and for good reason. This restaurant is on the ground floor of an old house which makes for a great ambiance. Add the amazing food and it makes for a perfect night. It's on the pricier side but totally worth it! You are on vacation after all!

Want to grab a quick bite before heading back to the ranch after a busy day sight-seeing? Order food from here and stop in to pick it up. Or walk in, order food, and while it is being prepped, stop by Brookshire's for some quick grocery shopping.

Sightseeing

You can't go to Glen Rose and not stop by the Dinosaur Valley State Park, right? Here's your chance to view REAL Dino prints (if the river levels allow it). Or play in the water. Not only will your kids like this, but so will you. We recommend bringing towels, swim clothes, and a change of clothing.

On your way to and from Dinosaur Valley State park is this little gem of a shop. Stop in and meet the friendly owner and fossil collector and peruse all of his interesting finds. But beware - it is hard leaving without purchasing something. Especially if you have kids with you. Check online but I believe he is open only on weekends (Friday - Sunday).

Fossil Rim is a must see in Glen Rose. Even adults get a kick out of seeing and feeding the animals and driving through the gorgeous hilly terrain of this huge park. Try to visit as early in the morning as you can or right before the park closes. The animals are typically sleeping or full by the afternoon. But even then, you will still see some action, just not as much.
