“Little hole in the wall Texas bar that serves food. We ordered fried zucchini which was tasty but portion was underwhelming. The bacon cheeseburgers were anything but that! Great sized burgers and very tasty. Fries were nice and hot and served with a generous side of ketchup. Burgers are definitely worth the price.”

“Always called this The Bus. Anybody ask where good food is to eat?We'd say go to the bus. So now it seems to have a fancy name but it's still really good food. ”

“I’m relocating from North Carolina, and was just looking for some hot, fresh food fast — this spot delivered perfectly. The gumbo was rich and full of flavor, and the chicken tenders were hot, crispy, and clearly made with pride. You can taste the care that went into preparing everything.

The desserts are just as impressive. The banana pudding was smooth and delicious, and the caramel pecan cupcakes were absolutely outstanding — sweet, buttery, and worth the trip on their own.

This is a must-stop in Hempstead and all surrounding towns. Great people, great food, and a local business that deserves support. Tell a friend to tell a friend so they can stay open, thriving, and continuing to serve the community.”

“They have amazing bbq and unlike all the BBQ places around here now their prices and servings sizes are fair! Also can’t beat the great service other places lack these days as well!”
