Midland Downtown Restaurants

I want to remind everyone to eat local, with the recent oil price downturn, Pioneer moving its office to Clay Desta, and Concho Resources opening an employee only cafeteria. It is having an effect on our downtown businesses. There are several great places to eat all within walking distance of the main office buildings. The 15 places mentioned here offer a variety of different types of food.

Try Kafe Kapanna for homemade soup and sandwiches, modern atmosphere and upscale lunch dinning at Taste@508, step back in time at Luigi’s, go for something different at The Burrito Dude, mingle with the locals at Jo Jo’s, call in your order at the Tex-Mex Cafe, impress your clients at the Cancun Grill, take in The Bar and all its wonderful glory, try something new at Granado’s Cafe, , fork over some spicy Cajun favorites at Rue 432, slip into Eatery 117 for West Texas high class fair, close you next business deal at Wall Street Bar & Grill, stay on track with these healthy vending machines, close it all down at Wich Wich Sandwiches.

First please note during the school year, the high school students from Midland High get out around 11:30 and they swarm to these type places. As shown in the map below, they cross A Street and head down Illinois and fill up places like the Tex-Mex Café or Kafe Kapanna. My advice phone in your order before 11:30, because these places get too busy and probably won’t even pick up the phone.

Kafe Kapanna (Formerly the “Sandwichery”)
(View Menu Here) 432-684-4791
200 N Marienfeld St, Midland, TX 79701

This fine little Café is located in the bottom of the Fasken Center, on the far East side, you can enter on Marienfield Street between Illinois and Texas. Two or three very nice ladies run it; they have a small salad bar, soup, and varying daily specials. The specials run the gambit between items such as Lasagna, Enchiladas, and Pulled Pork sandwiches. They will also make you just about any kind of sandwich you want. They open at 7:30 and serve breakfast sandwiches, along with muffins, fruit and other breakfast type items.

Taste 508 (Formerly “Matteos”)
(View Menu Here) 432-687-1755
508 W Wall St, Midland, TX 79701

Ran by Midland Chef Timm Rogers, Taste 508 is a quaint café in the bottom of the Frost Tower. The entrance is located on Wall Street across the street from Prosperity Bank. It is decorated in a very minimalist, rustic fashion, and serves up breakfast sandwiches all day. They also have a rotating sandwich daily special. Timm has a very user friendly website, and even lets you order food from the Taste 508 iphone app. That is definitely high tech for Downtown Midland. He also serves a variety of coffee and hot tea.

Luigi’s Restaurant
(View Menu Here) (432) 683-6363
111 N Big Spring St, Midland, TX 79701

The only place to get good Italian food downtown, or maybe in all of Midland. Headed by a great GM, they are carrying on the tradition. It’s a classic white table cloth, candle on the table kind of place. They have a great selection of wine, and a nice bar to the right when you walk in. I have never gotten a bad meal here. Come by and visit today.

Jo Jo’s Eatery
(View Menu Here) (423)-682-313
214 W Texas Ave # 121, Midland, TX 79701

Jo Jo’s is located at the bottom of the Petroleum Building, right next to the Yucca Theater. It is a classic Midland place, with homemade soups and sandwiches. Get a tasty chicken salad or pimiento cheese sandwich. Great breakfast Burritos! (The best in town!!) One of my favorites.

Tex-Mex Café (Formerly “Jaslicos”)

Cancun Grill
(View Menu Here) (432) 618-0390
223 W Wall St #121, Midland, TX 79701

Is another Midland Staple. A bit of high end in our little town. They proudly serve Wagyu steaks from The Midland Meat Company. Everything on the menu is amazing. The place is always packed on the weekends. I like Cancun Bistro, I always say I am going to try something different, but I rarely switch.

The Bar
(View Menu Here) (432) 685-1757
606 W Missouri Ave, Midland, TX 79701

Everybody loves the bar, always a lively crowd. Perfect for lunch and great for dinner. Live Music on the weekends and Brunch on Saturday. Try the chicken fried steak, probably one of the best in West Texas. They have plenty of outdoor seating on their patio.

Granado’s Cafe & Catering (Formerly El Super Burrito)
(View Menu Here) (432) 698-3238
703 W Wall ST, Midland, TX 79701

Grandado’s is a newcomer to downtown Midland. They have an interesting menu of American and Tex-Mex favorite. The burgers look awesome. They have Nachos, Bacon wrapped jalapenos, Flautas, Fajitas, and Enchiladas. Eat Local come by and try something new today, in the Old El Super Burrito building, right behind the Lone Star Bar.

Rue 432 (Formerly Gritos Smokehouse & Tejano Saloon)
(View Menu Here) (432) 218-7542
106 S A St, Midland, TX 79701

Rue 432 has been a multitude of different places. From bars, clubs to restaurants, seems like the sign is always changing. I walked in the other day, to a really nice looking restaurant. The reviews are coming back positive, so maybe we have a winner. They have a menu full of unique Cajun dishes. If you are looking for something different, give Rue a try.

Eatery 117
(View Menu Here) (432) 683-6131
Doubletree by Hilton Midland Plaza

Eatery 117 sits inside the DoubleTree at 117 W Wall St, Midland, TX 79701. Right across the street from the Midland Center. Their menu has a nice variety of salads, burgers, sandwiches, and heavier items like pork chops and filets. Try this as a classier option for you next lunch date

Wall Street Bar & Grill
(View Menu Here) (432) 684-8686
115 E Wall St, Midland, TX 79701

The true “Midland Classic” restaurant. I always feel like I just took a step back in time when I walk in here. I wonder some of the deals that have been laid out on these old tables. The wood bar serves up classic cocktails. The favorite among locals is the chicken fried steak, it is the cheapest thing on the menu. I think they keep that way, so even when the broke wildcatters want to go out to eat, they can afford a night at Wall Street, and feel like kings for a few minutes.

Healthy Vending Machines
First Capital Bank Building
Big Spring and Wall Street

In the First Capital Bank Building at 310 W Wall STE 100, Midland, TX 79701, there is a self serve set of vending machines. They serve sandwiches and a variety of other options. Most people don’t know about them, but if you are looking for something different, why not give it a try.

Wich Wich Sandwiches
(View Menu Here) (432) 247-5617
100 N Main St #400, Midland, TX 79701

A national sandwich chain located at the bottom of the Wall Street Lofts. They serve up a variety of inventive sandwiches. I like Elvis, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Banana, and Honey. A meal fit for a King! This is probably our only chain restaurant in downtown Midland. Which can be a good or a bad thing, depending on how you look at it.

Wall Street Bar and Grill Menu

Wall Street Bar & Grill is a Midland dining staple, offering contemporary American cuisine in a setting that blends historic charm with upscale comfort. Located in a 1910 building, the restaurant retains much of its vintage character, featuring pressed-tin ceilings, a rich mahogany bar, and an inviting atmosphere that appeals to both casual diners and those seeking a more refined experience. With both dine-in and takeout options, it’s a popular choice for lunch, dinner, and special occasions, as well as a beloved weekend brunch spot.

The menu is extensive and thoughtfully curated, starting with a variety of appetizers such as fried calamari, chipotle fried shrimp, and Maryland crab cakes. Salads and soups range from fresh mozzarella caprese to hearty gumbo, while side dishes like basil mashed potatoes, zucchini lyonnaise, and creamed spinach complement any entrée. The main courses showcase a strong focus on grilled and house-specialty preparations—standouts include the charbroiled chicken with julienne vegetables, cilantro chicken with corn cream sauce, and the Southern fried chicken with homemade gravy.

For meat lovers, the beef and chops section offers premium cuts such as ribeye, filet mignon, porterhouse steak, and charbroiled pork chops, each served with classic accompaniments. Seafood options are equally robust, from Atlantic salmon and blackened orange roughy to pecan-crusted trout and seafood relleno. Whether you’re in the mood for a perfectly cooked steak, fresh Gulf seafood, or one of their signature chicken dishes, Wall Street Bar & Grill delivers a balanced mix of flavor, presentation, and portion size, all within an atmosphere that nods to Midland’s rich history.

Cancun Bar and Grill Menu

Cancun Bar & Grill brings a splash of color and a dash of flair to downtown Midland’s dining scene. Tucked into a cozy corner at 223 W Wall St., this vibrant spot stands out among its neighbors with festive décor—think bold murals, twinkling string lights, and an open‑air feel that invites you to linger over dinner or unwind with friends at the bar. It’s one of the few full‑service restaurants in Midland’s historic core, making it a go‑to choice when you want a proper night out without leaving the city center.

The real star here is the steak program: each cut is expertly seared at a blistering 1600 degrees, locking in juices and imparting a whisper of smoky char. Whether you opt for a classic ribeye, a tender filet, or a hearty New York strip, you’ll find your plate arrives steaming and perfectly seasoned. But Cancun’s menu doesn’t stop at steaks. Fresh salads sprinkled with avocado and pepitas, chile rellenos oozing with melty cheese, sizzling fajitas served tableside, and flaky salmon filets round out the offerings. And of course, no Tex‑Mex feast is complete without cheese‑smothered enchiladas drizzled in house‑made sauces.

Because Cancun Bar & Grill leans into top‑quality ingredients and chef‑driven preparations, you’ll find entrée prices sitting between $15 and $25—a notch above your everyday chain, but more than worth it for an elevated experience. The kitchen turns over quickly at lunch, and dinner reservations fill up fast, so consider calling ahead if you’ve got a group in tow or you’re planning to celebrate a special occasion. For those on the go, Cancun also offers takeout and delivery windows, ensuring you can dig into that 1600‑degree seared perfection wherever you choose.

Service here walks the line between warm hospitality and professional polish. Expect attentive servers who can guide you through wine pairings or craft margaritas that pack just the right punch. Open for lunch Monday through Friday (11 AM–2:15 PM) and dinner nightly (5:30–9 PM, with late‑night hours on Friday and Saturday), Cancun Bar & Grill makes it easy to carve out time for an unforgettable Tex‑Mex‑meets‑steakhouse outing right in Midland’s downtown heartbeat.

Luigi’s Italian Restaurant – Midland – Menu

Luigi’s Italian Restaurant is a beloved Midland institution that’s been serving up classic Italian fare for generations. Tucked into 111 N Big Spring St, this warm and welcoming trattoria is known for its checkered tablecloths, traditional menu, and charmingly old-school atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where families gather after church, where coworkers unwind over lasagna and wine, and where new Midland residents often get their first real taste of local Italian comfort food.

The menu is impressively extensive, starting with homestyle soups, antipasto salads, and Luigi’s signature chili. Their sandwiches offer everything from a classic meatball hoagie to the over-the-top San-O-Rama Sandwich loaded with pastrami, ham, salami, three cheeses, and salad dressing. But the real stars are the pasta and pizza sections. Spaghetti comes in every variety imaginable—marinara, meat sauce, meatballs, mushrooms, or chili—and always with a hearty side of garlic bread. Specialty dishes like eggplant parmigiana, veal scaloppine, and chicken delight are served with spaghetti and a choice of salad or soup, making for a filling and satisfying meal.

Luigi’s pizzas are equally impressive. Whether you’re building your own or diving into the loaded Super Deluxe, every pie can be ordered on cauliflower crust, with toppings ranging from pastrami and anchovies to artichokes and fresh basil. They also offer a clever “Pizza Snack,” which combines a half-pizza with a salad and side of spaghetti—perfect for those who can’t decide. And if you’re still hungry, the desserts include house-made tiramisu, key lime pie, and Luigi’s signature Italian Grooms’ Cake, a spiced date cake with bourbon caramel sauce.

With a full bar, affordable pricing, and decades of history under its belt, Luigi’s is more than just a restaurant—it’s a Midland landmark. It’s where the old meets the new, where a slice of pizza or a plate of lasagna brings people together. Whether you’re a regular or a first-time visitor, you’re treated like family—and you’re guaranteed to leave full.
