Went in just now, they aren’t busy at all. We were seated right next to the kitchen/bar, a lot of traffic from employees and none even looked our way. Sat there for 15 minutes before walking out.

They were really busy and was cooking for a catering event. It was slow at first but turned out great. Food was excellent.

My hubby took me here today for lunch and Patsy was our waitress. She was awesome!! She was very personable, attentive and took great care of us. We absolutely think she deserves a raise. She had us laughing the whole time and the food was great!! We will definitely be back here and will request her as our waitress. Thank you Patsy for making our lunch so great!! I wish I could give more stars but 5 is all it would let us give.

Honestly it used to be ALOT better...idk how there still making Texas top 40?? People haven't seen what I seen or have very low standards...there catering may be on point but they'll hire basically anything that can walk with no regard on how they present or carry themselves...and the food hasn't been so great lately

I went in about 3PM today to have a steak. My steak was perfect, the potatoes were awesome and the fried pickles were the best I've ever had. To top it off, Dave my server did an amazing job representing the restaurant with excellent, friendly service.

Awesome place! Very nice and calm atmosphere. Great for celebrating a special occasion. Morgan was our waitress and she was so friendly and accommodating. I got the Shrimp Combo which had blackened, fried and stuffed shrimp. Oh so good and fresh. The coleslaw was sweet and creamy and the hush puppies were crunchy and snappy. We were so full we had to take a piece of Italian Cream cake to go. It was FABULOUS! When we got ready to leave, Morgan informed us that someone had picked up the tab for our Anniversary dinner. Such a h... read more
