Miss Hattie's Restaurant is more than just a dining destination; it is a cornerstone of San Angelo's historic downtown.

Our story began in 1975 when owner and San Angelo native Ken Gunter launched a mission to save the aging structures of East Concho Avenue. Inspired by his family's deep roots in the area—including his grandfather's 1930s domino hall—Ken dedicated himself to restoring the spirit of the 1880s.

Originally constructed as the San Angelo National Bank, our building is the only local landmark listed on both the State and National Registers of Historic Places. Dining here surrounds you with authentic history, from original tin ceilings and hand-carved rock walls to a meticulously restored facade designed by architect Oscar Ruffini. During renovatiosn, we rediscovered the infamous Miss Hattie's underground tunnel, once used by early ranchers to discreetly visit the neighboring bordello while "tending to their banking."

Ken & Brenda Gunter opened Miss Hattie's Restaurant in 1998 to share their passion for preservation and West Texas heritage with every guest. Come see us today for a taste of historic downtown dining!
