Rod -

It's been about 5 years since I've been there.  You're right.  It's the Sutton County Steak House.  It's hard to drive by there without stopping.  Best damned steaks in Texas.  BTW - if you're ever in Midland, I highly recommend the prime rib at The Bar.  Ask for an end cut.  Best all-around resturant in town, however, is the Wall Street Bar and Grill.  My bar favorite at WSB&G - the Bloody Bull.

wow.  i haven't thought about those places
in years!  best all-around restaurant is,
agreeably, WSB&G.  but the best mexican
restaurant, IMNSHO, is Abuelo's.  but i'm
biased;  i used to work there.
