The Outlaw Restaurant
An old steakhouse opened in 1969. A hat once belonging to John Wayne, from when he filmed Rio Lobo, hangs above the bar.
Opened in 1969 and retaining its original sign, serving steaks, seafood and pasta. In 1969, John Wayne, filming Rio Lobo in town, often came in to shoot pool and have a drink, and gave his hat to the owner. It now hangs above the bar, and guests may politely ask to wear it for a photo. A historical marker for Rio Lobo stands out front. The signature is the scorpion steak: a 12-oz peppercorn New York strip with cognac sauce and three spicy shrimp. There is live piano in the evenings. Dinner is the focus, with weekend brunch, and closing days vary by source. About $40–70 per person, in the middle of Main Street.
Opening hours
Dinner about 4:00–9:00 PM; weekend brunch 10:30 AM–2:00 PM; closing days vary by season
