After nearly two years of renovations, the Stagecoach Inn & Restaurant in Salado reopened with the help of Monument Group in Georgetown.

The Stagecoach Inn originally opened in 1860 and its restaurant first opened doors in 1947, according to a news release.

What’s different?

Per the news release, the nearly 80-year-old restaurant’s updated menu prioritizes fresh, local and seasonal items, including:
  • A goat cheese dip appetizer
  • Fried chicken salad

How we got here


The restaurant shut down in June 2023 for renovations and Alexa MGMT took over the property in October 2023, according to a spokesperson with the restaurant.

The Stagecoach Inn & Restaurant partnered with Monument Group, affiliated with Georgetown’s Monument Cafe, to breathe “new life” into the historic restaurant, according to a news release.

Quote of note

“The Stagecoach established itself as a welcoming rest stop on the Chisholm Trail for weary travelers over 160 years ago and that southern hospitality continues today,” said Rusty Winkstern of Monument Group in the release.
