Why we brew Czech lagers
Our four Czech lagers are here because of Andy Martinec. His family ran Al's BBQ in Temple for years, and in that same building he opened Tanglefoot Brewing and made Czech lagers.

We make the bologna
Beef bologna by the pack, made from our own beef.

By the cut
Ground beef, roast, round steak, beef bacon, sirloin, ribeye, New York strip, tenderloin filet. Bratwurst, garlic bohemian, hotdogs, bologna, snack sticks — all of it beef, all of it ours.

Cheese curds
Cheesy lumps of yumminess.

The cigar lounge
Pull up a chair. Everything on the cigar list is cut, lit and enjoyed right here.

Deviled eggs
Six halves, when available.

Fried bologna panini
Our own beef bologna, fried and pressed.

How we raise it
Our cattle are born here, raised here and finished here. Pasture-backed and grain-finished on feed we grow ourselves, which is the same grain that goes into our whiskey. Nothing gets bought in at the last minute and relabeled.

We are not sourcing it
Every grain in every whiskey on our list was grown on our own place here in Bell County. Corn, wheat, rye, oats. Cut in our fields and carried a few hundred yards to the still, where we mill, ferment, distill, barrel and bottle it.

Twelve inches
Cheese, pepperoni, meat lovers, chicken bacon ranch — and a hamburger pizza built on burger sauce with our own 90/10 ground beef, onions, pickles and cheddar.

Poutine
Our fries, cheese curds, brown gravy.

Salads
Steakfinger, hamburger or grilled chicken, on fresh local lettuce, dressed to your liking.

Snack sticks
Beef snack sticks, by the pack, off our own cattle. Born, raised and finished on this place, processed under USDA inspection.

Steakfinger basket
Round steak, air fried, seasoned to yummy. Half order or full. Brown gravy or ranch on the side.

The Rickhouse
A pour from every whiskey we have open, built into an Old Fashioned for two.

The Valley Old Fashioned
House rich Demerara syrup, fresh orange, your bourbon, aromatic and black walnut bitters, and a delicious cherry.

Ask what's in the freezer
Beef boxes, by the cut, or a whole freezer's worth. Cuts are your choice.

Evans Ranch Burger
Half a pound of our own ground beef on a brioche bun, dressed however you like it.

Evans Ranch Steak
Rib, New York strip or tenderloin filet, off cattle born, raised and finished on this place. Baked potato alongside.
Since 1867
Our family has ranched this valley since 1867. Five generations on the same ground, with the sixth coming up behind.
The barn in our logo
The barn at the center of our logo is one of three built in Wilson Valley around 1880. A storm took it in May of 2025 and we saved every board we could.
