Although chain restaurants are much more prevalent than family-owned establishments, we Texans wholeheartedly prefer the latter. Passion and soul are the backbones of quality food, and no-frills atmospheres guarantee the kitchen remains the primary focus. Little Red Barn Steakhouse in San Antonio hasn’t changed ownership in almost 60 years, and the food definitely reflects that.

Inside, it's truly like stepping onto a working ranch. Hundreds of cattle brands from Texas and Mexico are proudly displayed on the walls, and wooden picnic tables impart an outdoorsy vibe that leaves no question as to what state you're in.

Immediately upon entrance, you're greeted by a hostess decked out from head-to-toe in cowboy attire. A similarly dressed server will seat you and leave menus and salads at the table -- even if the establishment is buzzing with people.
