Curious about the real-world locations behind the hit series Landman? We’re breaking down what’s Hollywood magic and what you can actually visit in the Permian Basin!1
Inside this video:
The Truth About "The Patch": While it’s a central hub in the show, "The Patch" isn't a real bar you can visit.
Where was Landman filmed?: Surprisingly, very little was filmed in the actual Permian Basin! Most of the production took place in Fort Worth, Weatherford, and Strawn.
Must-Visit Spot: If you want a taste of the show’s atmosphere, head to Mary’s Cafe in Strawn. It’s a real-life filming location and home to one of the best chicken-fried steaks you'll ever have.
Reality of the Oil Patch: We discuss the "Hollywood mindset" versus the real West Texas experience—think less TV drama and more abandoned equipment, scrub brush, and extreme isolation in the middle of nowhere.
The West Texas Vibe: Experience the unique feeling of driving through areas like Big Bend, where signs warn of no gas, cell service, or radio for 150 miles.
