Here’s when star Texas chef Stephan Pyles’ restaurant will open southwest of Fort Worth
The Seeker, a new restaurant by pioneer Southwestern chef Stephan Pyles inside a boutique hotel in Stephenville, will open Dec. 16, according to a marketing announcement Monday.
Pyles, known for his former Dallas restaurant Star Canyon, is opening his newest venture adjacent to the Interstate Inn, a former motor hotel at 809 East Road in the Erath County city a 1-hour drive southwest of Fort Worth.
The Seeker will open the same day as the hotel, according to the announcement and the hotel’s Facebook page.
An online menu includes familiar Texas dishes such as honey-fried chicken with buttermilk biscuits, tenderloin with ancho-tamarind sauce and brisket tacos with chipotle barbecue sauce.
The menu also aims higher with dishes such as coriander-cured venison, halibut in a corn-pepper sauce, fried oyster tacos with pineapple pico de gallo and a wild mushroom quesadilla.
Rooms rent for $329 weekdays, $349 weekends.
The Seeker and the Interstate are offering a “culinary weekend” with cocktails Friday, a cooking class and dinner Saturday and brunch Sunday for $1,500.
Pyles closed his most recent Dallas restaurant, Flora Street Cafe, in 2020. A licensed Allen hotel location of his Stampede 66 restaurant closed later that year.
Pyles and the Dallas-based hotelier, Mod Motels, are also teaming up for a new hotel and restaurant in Fredericksburg, the Mimi on Main. The company also will open Iron Springs Lodge near the Brazos River south of Whitney Lake.
