Outstanding joint for steak and live music next door. 10 outta 10 would reccomemd

Business Spotlight: Texas Reds Steakhouse has been a Red River dinner tradition since Thanksgiving of 1967, and you cannot miss its bright red building at 400 East Main Street, beneath the winged red heart of the Lost Love Saloon. Inside, the old west atmosphere, friendly service, and generous portions have kept generations of families coming back. The menu is a classic steakhouse lineup of steaks, prime rib, seafood, burgers, and salads, with a full bar and live music. A first-time visitor should start with a steak or the prime rib and save room for the peach cobbler. Texas Reds is open Wednesday through Sunday from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and it does not take reservations.

Would you play a round of mini-golf during your stay at The Maverick Motel? ⛳️✨
We're considering adding a custom mini-golf (putt-putt) course to the grounds, complete with lush landscaping, bright marigolds, and stunning views of the surrounding hills (and double rainbows if we get lucky!).
Whether you're unwinding after a day of travel or looking for a fun evening activity right outside your door, we want to know what you think:
* Would a mini-golf course make your stay more enjoyable?
* What other amenities would you love to see added?
