    Food was great as usual. Tough to make a choice, it all looks good. Service was attentive without being intrusive.

    The calamari was excellent. The chicken fried steak was good, but we didn’t care for their take on cream gravy and it smothered the steak. Iceberg salad was huge, but lacking enough dressing or added condiments.

    Food was delicious, service was attentive and setting was enjoyable. Noise level inside made it difficult to conduct normal conversations.

    Great food choice, waitress knew what was going on, the food was served perfectly, drinks were top of the line, and the birthday girl was treated with a great dessert. This is one of the best places in Texas. Thank you for your services!

    We were disappointed that they ran out of ribs when we had a 5:30 reservation. All other choices were delicious. Perhaps we will get the ribs next time.

    The restaurant has great indoor and outdoor seating. The patio has a big fireplace! Food and drinks were amazing! I had the Hospitality and my friends had the House Margarita. I recommend my drink it was so good. We shared the brisket nachos, also recommend. My friends had the Reuben and I had the fried chicken sandwich with peach, bacon, and horseradish jam, all recommendations. We wished we would have left room for dessert. Definitely on the frequent list as atmosphere is fun and inviting. Service was excellent!
