McAllister is an extremely small community (population 146) that sits just north of Ennis. And while there certainly isn’t much to it, it does happen to be home to one of the best steakhouses on the planet, the McAllister Inn. If you long for the “good old days” of the Last Best Place, you’ll love this old school eatery.

The McAllister Inn has been a local icon for decades, serving the tastiest food in the area.

The interior is warm, welcoming and casual, perfect for enjoying a meal after a long day in nature.

But despite its casual atmosphere, this is also a great date night spot.
