Decent selection of drinks and live music. They don't serve crawfish on a regular basis anymore.

I unfortunately did not enjoy my experience here. I came to eat with a group of family and friends and was disappointed with the overall experience. The food was just ok. I ordered the haddock and shrimp. It would have been better if it was hot when it was brought out to me, but it was not. A couple others in my group ordered the Cajun pasta. They returned it as they used angel hair for the noodles of choice and they were overcooked.It just wasn't good.My waiter, was somewhat nice but she looked very stressed and overwhelmed the entire time. And that was discouraging to see while trying to enjoy my time there. Then they added and automatic 20% tip that in my opinion didn't warrant that due to the food being cold and overall experience. For just me and my child the cost was 70$. I am sure to not return. And wouldn't advise others to visit either. It's simply not worth all the money.

Great hidden gem. I have driven by here many times on I35 and thought it was just a Mexican restaurant. Well boy was I wrong. The food is great southern food and the menu has good selection.I really enjoyed the chicken fried chicken and the veggies were delicious. There were families and all ages dining while we were there. I can't wait to go back and try the chicken fried steak!

Food was average. Service was fair, very slow for a quiet Sunday. Restaurant was very dirty. The table was not wiped off properly, the floors and windows were very dirty and there was a dead cockroach in the floor near our table. The place did not live up to it's website's hype. Don't understand why it gets positive reviews. Our experience was not good. Will find another place next time I'm in town.

This is my go-to dog friendly place after hanging out at the dog park! They usually bring my dog a bowl of ice water and are always super friendly. The food is always good and reasonably priced. I just wish there was some type of fence around the back area since it’s next to a busy Highway. Also will note their outside heaters aren’t always consistent so if it’s cold outside I recommend leaving the dog at home to eat inside.

Very relaxing place to take a date , fast service , home style country food, not to pricy recommend for family dinner or date night ?. Thank you Maddie F. For the great service

First time!! The services was perfect but the food was bad!!! We looked up this place and the menu looked inviting, upon arrival we are informed that we cannot order from the menu till after 2pm. All they had was a breakfast buffet!! Gave it a try and it was disappointing! At 17. dollars a plate the options are underwhelming and limited. It came across more like a 10.99 buffet special; we felt a lil disappointed that we didn't get to try the menu and disappointed by the quality of the food in the buffet spread and lack of options. wasn't worth the price.

Love the patio live music on Friday and Saturday. No cover is a good price.

LOVE the brisket nachos, the fish and chips, and the poblano cream corn. Really haven’t had something I didn’t like at this restaurant. We love coming here and sitting in the bar area. They’re always super friendly!

Food was pretty basic nothing amazing, but the service and quality of the cooking was terrible. We waited with empty drinks for 20 minutes at a time. We were there for a few hours and had my water refilled once. I ordered a baked potato and they didnt even peel away the foil before putting the cheese, bacon, and sour cream on top, so i had to pick out foil from my baked potato.... Several people at the table waited for their food for 20 minutes while some of us already had our food. Every single steak at the table was severely undercooked, like cold center undercooked. Then several tabs had incorrect items on it overcharging us. And very rarely do i leave a zero dollar tip and when i do i always speak to a manager. And when i did here he just blew me off. Incredibly disappointed with this place overall. I worked in the industry for a long time and this was unacceptable.As I see the owner responded, I just want to clarify i was fully aware of how busy they were, patio included. If it was just taking too long to get drinks i wouldn't leave a review here, but foil in my potato? All the steaks undercooked? Thats workmanship. 'Short staffed' and 'super busy' are excuses for businesses that fell short.

I was a little underwhelmed by the food here. My burger patty was blackened and dry. I ordered medium well so maybe it just got overcooked. Fries were really good though.Maybe breakfast is better.

I decided to try this place after a friend bragged about how good it was. So I Ordered take out, got wings and burgers. Wings were very dry and both burgers were burnt. I'm not the type to call and complain but I won't be going back to this place. I give it 0 stars.

Service wasn't great, ordered a half lb burger came out more like a happy meal and overcooked and super salty. Stale bread, the mixed drinks were great. Nice bldg. No signage at all. Nice outdoor seating

Love this place! It's our new hidey-hole. Outdoor seating with the opportunity to hear live music. Great food and awesome drinks. Love the location on the North side of town with scenic views and less traffic. Repeat customers for sure!

Old school ambience, elevated food.So far the off-the-chain list includes:pulled pork nachoshanger steak w/ hatch chile mac n cheese and mashed potatoesBLT saladmargaritas (watch out)did not care for the dark breading on the chicken fried steak but otherwise it was awesome. brunch was solid; coffee could use a little more octane in it.next up, i need to try the wings, the mean green chicken from what i hear, and i guess their side salads are pretty damn generous, and the soups when they bring them back in the fall. all the sauces and dressings are great, everything being housemade. this place can get busy around happy hour, just a heads up!
