The Broken Spoke has been serving up Texas country and Western music and home-style cooking since 1964. The management will even tell you they serve the best chicken-fried steak in town and, curious as it may seem, most of the patrons seem to agree. On your way in, take a while to peruse the tourist trap, a small museum of Texas memorabilia that boasts cowboy hats worn by Willie Nelson and LBJ. Then head straight for the dance hall in back where the simple red and white checkered tablecloths and cement dance floor belie the long list of C&W heroes who have graced the stage. After all these years, the Broken Spoke has stayed true to its simple roots, which is saying a lot in this day and age.

not bad
We had a pretty good time, but seemed a little confusing. Order food on this side, but you have to carry it to the dancefloor side. Not enough waitresses to serve drinks on the dancehall side. Line was too long to order drinks. Needs some major repairs but all in all, lived up to a real saloon feel, the band was excellent. The folks were real downhome friendly. I for sure liked the fact that before the band started, the owner had everyone stand & say the Pledge of Allegiance to our flag... God Bless Texas & the U.S.A.
Nice place
Broken Spoke is the place to enjoy music, beer, food and local people. Everything is enjoyable except the toilets. I am sure the management can afford to improve their bathrooms.

I agree it is a great place to hear some good music but it is time they invest some money into cleaning up the place. I am sure the place has been paid for years ago. I won't use the bathrooms so we have stopped coming. A good place to go is Boomer's. Good band's and clean bathrooms.
Ginnycarol's Review
The best thing about the Spoke is the people that go there: Texas friendly and ready to dance. The bathrooms are just tooo disgustin. How about investing some of the cover charge to some construction work?
