  We had the "all you can eat" lunch buffet.  It was a Friday  & they had a good selection of sea food.  I had fried cat fish & shrimp, seasoned fried potato rounds which were really, really good.  I also had garden fresh sauted yellow squash, a crisp tossed green salad, & a pasta salad.  They brought to the table wonderful hot rolls, tartar sauce, red sauce for the shrimp, lemon wedges, & chocolate cake.  Over all an excellent lunch with attentive waite staff at a reasonable  price.  We will definitely stop again.

  This was awesome place we found, to enjoy dinner, while heading home.  It was Sunday and they where starting get busy. We got table in the back.  We had cheese sticks for appetizer.  Now we gone to fancy restaurants in past that bring us frozen, microwave cheese sticks.  This place made their cheese sticks in house, and they are very good.
  
  For our main course, wife and I had steak special, daughter had the bacon cheeseburger, and my baby had great bottle of Similac.
  
  Steaks where perfect and burger was awesome.  Salad bar was good.

  Wow! Trusting the Yelp reviews, we left our route through Ballinger to find the Beefmaster and were really surprised. Don't be fooled by the caliche parking lot or the sun-baked and worn exterior: as soon as you open your truck door, you'll smell the promise of the great food inside. We ordered a Moscow Mule and a yummy rum drink on ice (can't remember what it was called) and both were excellent. The whole menu looked delicious, but we settled on the 24 ounce KC for one with an extra set up. I was concerned that this would be way too much, but my husband assured me that KC steaks usually have the bone in and that weight reflected that. We both settled on the baked sweet potato with butter (cinnamon also for me), then headed for the salad bar. With fresh greens as a base, we chose from carrot slices, cherry tomatoes, pickled okra, shredded cheese, small chunks of broccoli, and many other fresh salad fixings as well as 3-4 cold salads and jellos and puddings. The steak was NOT bone-in but rather cut in small irregular medallions and chunks and came with grilled zucchini sliced and quartered and served family style. The steak was tender, the zucchini was tender with a bit of crunch left, and the baked sweet potatoes were so delicious that I scraped every bit I could from the skin. Oh, and we had cornbread muffins (our choice of the bread offerings) which were lightly sweet. I had a glass of Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon and my husband had another mule but with Jameson Irish whiskey instead of vodka. Again, yum. (They have a full bar with the usual beers on tap plus Shiner Bock--usually a good sign! They also had several in-the-bottle beer choices such as Stella, Blue Moon, and Negro Modelo).
  
  The service was great. At least 4 different ladies brought us food or drinks or took our order or just checked on us with specific questions, such as when my husband changed the liquor on his 2nd drink, a nice lady came to ask how he liked it, explaining that "they" had changed the ginger beer because they didn't like the first one. They were just so relaxed, cheerful and attentive, clearly taking pleasure from taking great care of us all. Every conversation I over heard with the staff was that way.  And unlike some chain restaurants in larger cities where you see almost as the Beefmaster there were only about 6 visible staff and though they were busy, they did not give off a stressed, rushed vibe--quite an unexpectedly nice topper to a great meal.
  
  Kudos, Beefmaster!

  Was honestly disappointed by this place as it was labeled the new Lowake's. Service was not good with basic amenities having to be continually asked for like napkins and silverware. Salad bar was empty on a Friday night so long line of people waiting. Ordered the combo plate of appetizers and the batter was tasteless. Chicken fried steak, which should be a staple, was bland and took way to much salt and pepper to make it good. Loaded backed potato was hot on the outside with the foil but cold on the inside. Overall not a good experience and will not go back.
