I like Pete simply because he is so odd and quirky. Every small town should have something like this. It harkens back to the great American roadside attractions of the post-WWII era, such as those found along Route 66 at its height. Go see Pete if you get a chance. C'mon, you know you want to.

Paisano Pete the sight to see! We stopped by in December on our way to El Paso and he was dressed in Christmas attire.

Quick stop in Fort Stockton to see Paisano Pete. I've stopped here to stretch my legs before heading West to reach El Paso. Also a great little stop to fuel and stock up on supplies before heading south to Big Bend NP.

Very neat to take pictures next to Paisano Pete! Be aware if traveling I-10 W past Las Cruces, NM. I believe big Pete ran off as I found him again on the North side of 10. Maybe Wylie Coyote was in pursuit??

This was a nice stop to take some pictures and stretch your legs on a road trip.

I enjoyed my first visit to this town and seeing Paisano Pete up close was a treat I won't soon forget.

Grandkids enjoyed a quick, quirky photo op!! A fun photo to share when asked what did you do over summer break? :D The stop at the Fort Stockton Museum was also worthwhile! Had no idea about it's history -always great to learn something new.

We looked for interesting things in Fort Davis and this was the best we found. It’s okay if you want a quick photo op.

We've lived in Texas a long time, while traveling this little town has much to see. I really enjoyed the ride through.

Of course I had to stop by and get a picture with Pete the giant roadrunner statue. Added bonus, he was decked out with a Fall pumpkin necklace.This was a fun stop.

We passed by Pete on our way from Big Bend to San Antonio. There isn't a lot to see along this route, so how could we pass up an opportunity to take pictures with what must be the world's largest roadrunner. Beep beep.

It’s a small town, very nice people

Visiting this giant roadrunner was was really fun! There's a little dirt area kind of to the side and sort of behind it where I parked. Then you can just walk up to it and look at it from every angle. It's super cool. Highly recommend you stop and check it out.

If you're in ft Stockton you have to see the sites and Pete is a good one. There is some historic stuff around as well so take 20-30 min and check it out. For exciting road trip America stuff follow us and give this review a like

This is technically the SECOND largest roadrunner in the United States. However the other one in New Mexico was not nearly as impressive as Paisano Pete. He was wearing an awesome outfit and you could walk up to him to take a photo with easy parking nearby. Great stop if you are passing through the area.

Really unique, and quirky. The town of Fort Stockton is really neat to visit

Too fun to get your photo with Paisano Pete!! Go do it!! One of those roadside attractions you don't want to miss!

From the outside, the building looks like it's not even open for business. You have to actually stop pull over and walk up to the door to see that yes there is a gentleman in there named Pete and he does cut hair. Definitely a small shop, only one chair in the place. Pete knows most of the locals, it was a local that referred me to go there. He was business like and got the haircut done quickly with no fuss. Reasonably priced, if you need a decent haircut and you want it done right Ivan this is as good a place as any in this area. He wasn't real big on conversation, but the results stood for themselves.

A very large statue of a roadrunner. So, get yourself a picture...be a tourist! Careful crossing the street!

Nice little picture taking spot.

What you see is what you get. Across the street is the visitor center. I recommend going there for more info of town. The young lady was very helpful and informative. Nice pic opportunities as well at the center.

Paisano Pete is ingrained in my memory from my childhood. I remember seeing him each summer when we would visit my great-grandparents. I have no clue as to why I am so keen on Pete, but memories came flooding back in such a good way. It's good to know that some things do never change.

Cool statue! A must see in Fort Stockton for sure!

Parking available in the gravel lot just across from the roadrunner.

Always fun to stop & visit the West Texas Chicken. 🤣. great for photos & meeting other travelers and locals.
