We went on a Saturday. I did catch the bartenders name but she was great she only works on Saturday. Will be back again.“

“Wonderful place to hangout for awhile in the evening. Small room with a cozy casual vibe. Kelso is amazing with remembering names and is excellent at situational awareness with customers and making sure you have anything you need.With a small library of board games and live music once or twice a week Hoppy Wobbles makes you feel right at home.“

“I've performed at The Orbit Room a few times, and they've always been very kind and professional to me. It's a great bar to visit in town if you're tiring of the same-old college bar experience. Pinball machines are always a plus!“

“We made a 4:30 reservation and seated promptly and I was curious about the value of the food and it did not disappoint! Probably the best ribeye I have had since Las Vegas. It was almost a full 20 oz of meat, little fat and super thick! Well worth the price as it made 2 meals. The bread was awesome too. Will definitely visit in the future!“

“Visiting from Florida and can barely make it to any other places downtown because as soon as we see the alley bar we decide that’s the best place to stop in, less crowded, immaculate service, and our guy Bailey is always there to welcome us with a smile. I cannot recommend this place enough. Definitely worth the stop!“

“We stopped in because of the long wait at Texas Road House. Our son had been to eat here the night before. He raved about it.Looked a little unfinished on the outside but what a beautiful restaurant inside. Like a little Mexican village having a party. So fun.Food was amazing and portions are very generous. We had enough for the next day.You could easily order and share. No wait. Service was great. Going back for sure .Parking: Plenty of parking.“
