    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!

    This was our first visit to a cool place with a catchy name. We made a reservation for an early time, but it looked like we could have walked in and gotten a table. Service was top notch - the waiter was attentive and knew both the menu and the sizeable drink list. The menu was as advertised - Texas meat and seafood. The whiskey offerings were vast, though pricey. Food portions were sizeable. Our appetizer - brisket nachos - was tasty; the entrees (we had the short rib and flounder) were good, but not in a knock your socks off way. The cost made it a medium value, but a nice experience. All in all, this would be a good occasional dining spot, say for special occasions, unless you are interested in an upscale burger or other American fare. We'll be back again.
