We've been coming to Cistern Tx for over 70 years and it has seen many changes but still open it is now a bar and fast food with some groceries ..we get hamburgers every once in a while and they have been very good they do offer other items also ..have good cold beer and music on the weekends neat place

Amazingly friendly experience when I went with my group of friends pre-Covid. Outstanding service.

Move over dive bars. This is your competition. I love this place! Oh you need some toiletries? Maybe some farm fresh eggs? Wait, maybe you need a cheeseburger. No, I ate a pork barbecue sammy for $3.25 and had a Shiner for $2.50 but if you want a Naty Light you can have that for $1.75. If you need a stem in your life though, they got a few wines here too.We drove past it the first time but we learned about this place from the local law. A friend of mine got into trouble around town and somehow befriended the local enforcement and was told that this place is where you get your barbecue and the coldest beer. I don't really drink beer. Nor am I a huge fan of barbecue.But I had both here. The pork sammy I had for lunch was awesome. I'm not sure if it is a local thing but it wasn't dripping in sauce. However, it still maintained a nice vinegary not too sweet flavor. I had mine all the way... pickles.. onions... you know... load her down. Miss Taffy was also very kind to us making sure she tended to us city slickers. I had a great time talking to her and she really made me feel welcome. I'm sure that this is the place to be in the evening and weekends. I'm down.

A great burger as always. A real hidden gem. The staff is always really helpful, and friendly.

I was in Cistern because I like to visit Texas towns with unusual names and a real history. Well, this one! I stopped into Cistern Country Store for a hamburger and ended up with a delightful half hour visit with the owners Betty and Taffy Danner. Taffy says that Betty is the ad hoc mayor. I just could not have had better hospitality. I inquired about the cistern that gave Cistern its interesting name and Taffy took me out the back door and there it was. Not in prime condition, but there. Inside is a great place ready for a great time. Signs are all around that proclaim the cultural phrases and slogans that dominated the early and current nature of the community. I was asked to sign my name on the wall...along with the thousands of others. Now if you driving along and decide to pass Cistern by, don't do that! Stop in and enjoy a Hamburger and a delightful place.

What a find this was! If you're looking for fancy places, this ain't it. If you're looking for good, stick to your bones food and hospitality that makes you feel like you're at your favorite aunts house, this is your place!We were treated like old friends, even though we've never been before. The hamburgers were out of this world and the BBQ was amazing!Thanks for a fabulous dinner!

What can I say about this place? It's super fun. I love this place. Music is good and the people are county folk. Nothing but good old country culture. The drinks are cheap and the food is good. Service with a smile and always good conversation. Did someone say dance? Yes I had a great time dancing here. I must say this is my favorite bar out in the country.

I love the ambiance and the people are so friendly. They always make me feel welcome and i feel at home. The burgers are always fresh to order and cook to my order. The Cistern bar is a great place to hangout and just chill. Love this place.

Great burgers and reubens. Amazing steak dinner on Thursdays. Pile your nachos high with extras including bbq pork or brisket. All the veggies are fresh. The staff is local, friendly and accommodating to your needs. The salads are big, fresh and great options for those with dietary restrictions. I'm a regular and can say it's one of the better spots around. You are helping the local community by stopping here.
