Reviews
Got several plates and here’s what I’d say. Anything fried? Fantastic. These folks have a deft touch with the fryer. Sides were pretty standard. Pretty good but not memorable. Same goes for sausage. The Ribs? Fantastic and I’d highly recommend. The brisket didn’t do it for me. Lots of high ratings here but for me on this day it wasn’t hitting.
Service was friendly and attentive! Recommend as a good spot to break bread when in town.
I read reviews about the margaritas and boy were they right! Very smooth taste! I got a mango margarita on the rocks and it was so good!
Highly recommend the cowboy queso!! Man was it good!!
I had the fried catfish with onion rings and green beans and I was delighted with its taste and battering!
Definitely, definitely recommend!
The place was busy and too noisy for us so I ask the lady if is possible to get a table at the not so crowded section where she responded to my surprise that was not possible. Few minutes later she changed her mind and moved us to a table at the corner of the building. My wife literally was facing the wall. There was several tables available in the area but I really didn’t want to bother again. Maybe she was having a bad day. I was ready to give a 1 star for service but a male server that took our order was actually outstanding and saved the day.
What we learned?
It only take 1 moody employee to mess up the costumer experience or another to make it outstanding.
Our appetizer was the Chips with Queso & Brisket. That may have been the highlight of the meal.
A group of four had lunch and everyone ordered something different. I had the Brisket Sandwich w/Potato Salad. I think the Brisket had too much sauce which over powered the meat which I think could have stood on its own. The Potato Salad was just the right amount of all ingredients to make it great!
The others chose Ribs, Burger, & Sliced Brisket. I was told the ribs fell short of expectation. He said they were cooked perfectly but again the sauce over powered the meat. No complaints from the Burger or Sliced Brisket.
I did order a glass of Lemonade – it wasn’t worth it. It seemed to lack the lemony flavor I was looking forward and could barely tell the sweetness. They were no refills on Lemonade which was disappointing so customers pay by the glass. If one were to order go with easy ice since that seemed to take up most of the glass with not enough Lemonade to last.
No time for dessert as we all had places to be. Our servers told us the Banana Pudding was really good unfortunately we were traveling and none of us wanted to travel back with it.
If I am in the area I would like to try the menu for dinner so I would give this place another try. Maybe my business would allow me a return trip if so I’d stop in again.
I’ve tried many things from the menu and all have been good. We’ve had family dinners here, quick lunch, and even to go orders. They are very consistent and friendly. You don’t feel cramped even when it’s a full house.
My favorites are the armadillo eggs, chicken fried steak, ribeye, BBQ, loaded baked potato with brisket and steak salad. My mother loved their catfish and that’s what she ordered every time along with fried green tomatoes.
Waiting 20 minutes or longer to be seated during busy times can seem long and painful but I’m impatient like that.
Sweet tea from here is so good!
When you need real food and a relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff this is a pricey but good option.
