About this restaurant

Our Armadillo Palace brings the best of Texas together with one dance hall, two bars, three stages and a state-of-the-art kitchen serving indoors and out. It's our tribute to the city that's been so good to us for generations - and a celebration of all that makes our buttons-pop-proud to be Texan.

Since crossing the big pond too long ago to count, the Goode family has dedicated itself to sharing the culinary convergence of our flavorful past: the salt of the Gulf, the soul of the South, the spice of the border and that sweet smoke of Texas. From spit-roasted chicken to grilled redfish on the half shell, our dishes are steeped in tradition - and just as much flavor.

Whiskey-forward and born from lore, our Orange Blossom Bar takes its cue from our longtime friend and local music legend, Leon "Pappy" Selph. Pappy was known for his love of smooth whiskey and the stories that flow when a few drinks and good company come together.

    Just a unique spot - the ambiance is amazing, food outstanding, music perfect - a great Texas restaurant! From the biscuits queso and taquitos on the appetizer menu, to the salad pork chop and chicken tenders, and of course the pecan pie - all delicious!

    Vehicle window smashed and property stolen in the restaurant’s parking lot in broad daylight while we dined. Apparently this is not uncommon. No security guard. You’ve been warned.

    I love the Western cowboy feel to this place and the attached live venue just adds to that feel. Food is good with a strong but not huge selection. There is something for everyone. I enjoyed the Mexican Shrimp cocktail which was fresh and tasty.

    First time. I was surprised that quite a few items were not available on the menu, and it was already a concise menu. Service was great. Drinks and food were good.
