Reviews for Newton’s Saddlerack in Stephenville, TX
We were looking for a new go-to for date night and OH, MY GOODNESS, this restaurant did not disappoint! Fabulous experience. We... don't get them often, but I can't wait for our next date night. This made them even sweeter. ?? Read more
This placed has great advertisement and reviews. The chef’s name behind it had appeared on national tv. Menu resembles high... end restaurants and the prices to match. Unfortunately the place does not live up to the expectation they build. Our pork bellyappetizer was a crawfish appetizer. The staff never came with a wine chiller. Our waitress told us that she will be so busy thatyou have to flag her down in case she was absent. To her credit, she did come around and ask if the food was ok often. Thestakes were ok. The wine of expectedly over priced. The food took a long time because they were busy. The ambiance was nice butthe tables were too close together, given a small town feel, would expect more room. It is trying to be a NYC/LA/Paris/restaurant but unfortunately it’s just a small town place with a big city price, mediocre food, subpar service. Our waitresswas trying but it starts at management and the food. Read more
The steak was rare when we ordered medium. The carrot side was a large carrot on a plate. My fish was not cooked enough. The... bread pudding was large chunks of bread in a bowl. The cook needs some more experience on fine dining. The service staff wasgreat. The drinks were great. Food was very disappointing. Read more
Absolutely amazing!!! This was our first time at Newton at The Cellar and words alone can not express how wonderful everything... was. The experience we had here was top notch, the staff was friendly and very helpful when explaining the menu options andspecials. The drinks were spot on with many options to chose from cocktails to wine but the food was by far the best part! Mywife got the smoked chicken and I got the chicken fried NY strip. The chef himself come out to make sure everyone in therestaurant was well taken care and we couldn't of had a better experience at Newton's. If you haven't tried it then you should..Most definitely coming back! Read more
I cannot impress on you JUST how pleasantly surprised I was by this place. I have been to several high-end restaurants in the... past and This place tops all of them hands down! The chef is not afraid to use seasonings but still leaves enough of the flavorof meat to shine through. Yes. It is a small place. Our table was quite small…but it was just me and my husband. The drinkswere strong and they kept them coming! The bread pudding is also just amazing!!! More than that though is the service! I hadthree different servers/waitresses take things off of our table as they walked passed just because they noticed we weredone…whether it was a plate or drink; it didn’t matter. And at the end of our time there; our waitress took care of boxingup our leftovers. I cannot recommend this place enough! I will definitely be returning with our family for a second experience!

Every bite was perfection. I had the chicken fried NY strip and my husband had the tomahawk. Some of the best food we have... ever had. Impeccable service as well. We will definitely return soon. Read more
I'll admit I'm a little biased. Mike Newton is actually a client of mine and has come to be a good friend. I'm super excited for... his restaurant to open fully. For now he is doing Pop-Up event dinners. They are 4 course and are different every time. Thetwists he puts on traditional meals is amazing. Everything is full of flavor, both local and exotic. If you get a chance to cometo a Pop-Up you will not regret it. If you don't, plan to make reservations for the restaurant in a few months! Read more
