Huge menu. Maybe it's too big. Food is always good. My wife always orders tacos with a side a sour cream. 0 for 5 on bringing out sour cream with the food. Drinks are weak and hit or miss on flavor depending on the bartender.

They get so busy that it takes a very long time to get a drink at night. Would recommend getting more cocktail servers so you don't have to wait in line at the bar or possible see a server.The bands are great the staff was super nice but can see they were overwhelmed.

If you enjoy tasteless and over priced food, this is the place to go. Additionally, the music played outdoors is extremely loud and the acoustics is horrible. Making live music lovers challenged to hear each note played. As a recommendation, the cooking staff should take basic lessons in preparing and cooking "Tex Mex" style food.

Just had lunch with friends. I had the 6 ounce prime rib. So dry. Almost paper thin. I would have rather had a chunk of meat that was small. Hubby had the burrito lunch. There was no taco seasoning on the beef/hamburger meat which made a very bland burrito. The refried beans were dry and pasty. Generally pasty but not dry. The bill was $47.00, plus tip our lunch was over $50.00. We will never return to Deans. The food is less than mediocre.

I didn’t expect to enjoy this place so much. We sat inside away from the music in the courtyard the three times we have been there. The food was good, the atmosphere was good and we were served pretty quickly in spite of how busy they always are.

Only went for the band… the Nachos lacked basic dignity just a pile of chips with all the cheese on top no layering whatsoever I threw it all away but the band was cool!
