"The Hard Eight in Stephenville offers brisket that is more marbled and tender. While it was good, it wasn't exceptional. The main issue is that the prices are too high. I spent $32 on lunch today, which included a small non-alcoholic tea, a few small slices of brisket, pork ribs, a side of corn, and a small cobbler for dessert. The corn was the standout dish for me, while the ribs were tender and tasty. However, I felt that what I received for $32 was not worth it. I expected to have leftovers at that price. I also found the tipping options confusing, with only choices of 0, 15, 20, or 25%. I tipped 15% out of politeness, even though it was self-service seating. There should be better lunch options available for the price, as the portion sizes were small and barely filled a plate. Vegetarian options are limited to side dishes like baked potatoes, corn, and salads. The restaurant is family-friendly and has plenty of parking available. Overall, I believe the food was only worth $20 at most, and for a price over $30, I would expect more food and better value."
