The Original Lowake Inn 1946 T-Shirt

There’s always been good money in serving up good steaks to hungry folks in Texas and John Zentner's famous steakhouse is no exception. While he started several successful steakhouses, his first well-known venture was the Lowake Inn in Concho County, where according to Zentner, folks came a long way because he sold the only cold beer between San Angelo and Fort Worth, and he had good steaks and burgers to go with it. While the Lowake Inn was a gathering place for locals in this small community, travelers passing through made sure The Inn was on their itinerary and not only did folks come by road, but also by air; a small airstrip within walking distance of the inn allowed pilots of small planes to come and go with ease.
