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.

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?
RedMom007's Review
I was very disapointed that the food was cheap crap and the bathrooms were filthy. I brought my family in about 3 months ago, 5 children between the ages of 20- 13 and they thought it was a joke. It didn't make us feel special.I felt used and that you were riding on the names of Willie and others. Starting with locking/clean bathrooms, and NICE service. That would go a long ways towards making the people that frequent there, feel like you care about THEIR needs too, not just your own outdated idea of what country means.Country does not mean living in a barn. Personally, I think the Chockin Spoke is over rated.Until it's been cleaned up to make people feel like they matter too, I won't go again. And if no one can see what I'm talking about, then you've had one too many beers.

I used to live in Austin but now live in Indiana. I've been to alot of honky tonks across this great land of ours, but the SPOKE ranks the best. It's everything a REAL honky tonk is supposed tobe. Not too many of them left nowdays. Keep up the tradition boys!

this is a great place to go listen to the music and just sit back and watch everyone dance, if you don't dance thats fine too! the Whites are very nice people and the food is good. we go there to see Chris Wall and his band play. good band!!!!
