THE LARGEST SELECTION OF POSTERS AND SIGNS IN THE WORLD

  Check out the beautiful renovation in the picture above.

Ever wonder what it was like during the days of the Old West? Well, here's your chance to find out! Boot Hill, located in Vega, Texas, transports you back to the late 1800s. It's a tribute in its own right to a town once called Tascosa, located just north of Boot Hill. At Boot Hill you will experience the tastes, decor and sounds as those did in the past. Upon arrival to Boot Hill you will be amazed by the gas lanterns that light the entire exterior of this Old West saloon. As you enter through the parlor entrance or the HogTown Saloon entrance, you will be greeted by dance hall girls and cowboys. Heavy velvet drapes, beautiful wood detail and exposed brick are just a few details that will help transport you back to the days of the Old West saloon.

But don’t expect it to be a rough-and-tumble joint where fistfights between cowboys outnumber the bottles of red-eye whiskey.

Sure, Boot Hill contains a lounge where local cowboys can toss back a shot or two. And sure, owner Rory Schepisi (of “Popularity Contest” and “The Next Food Network Star” reality TV fame) has been known to ride horses and help sort cattle at her boyfriend’s ranch.

But one should remember that Schepisi was a successful restaurateur and chef before she moved to the Texas Panhandle. That background becomes apparent through our eyes — and our taste buds — at the upscale casual restaurant that is Boot Hill. 

  The place has a great old west look and theme to it. The pressed tin ceiling added to the vintage atmosphere. It wasn’t real busy and we were seated quickly. While looking over the menu I was told since it was a dry county it would cost 5.00 to get a 3 day pass to order a beer. So we just stuck with the ice water. As expected the food was on the pricey side. Which is fine as long as the food is good.  We decided on the burgers and placed our order.   The food WAS worth the trip.   We WILL return.

We drove 45 miles one way just to eat there. Rory is a CHEF not a “cook”. She had to pay for schooling just like you have to pay a plumber or electrician for their expertise. Rory’s expertise is one you can enjoy.

Bottom line, Boot Hill is an ideal place for a special occasion or a romantic evening — the sort of restaurant that Vega residents have been wanting for years.

And the food is creative enough that these out-of-towner will return.

PLEASE:  Tip your server according to service received.  They work hard and much of their income is dependant upon you.  And tell your server, cashier, manager or owner I saw your restaurant on the internet at "The Locals Go Here".
