Our first attempt to eat here on a weekend afternoon back in October 2021 was unsuccessful because they were extremely busy, and the wait for a table was long--and we were ravenous so we went elsewhere. Now I get why they're busy. So, normally I tend to try a place's burger, but this was a Saturday and they only serve their burger on weekdays. I had a bowl of the chili verde. I do not say this lightly--this was the best chili I have ever had. They have achieved that alchemy of the whole being more than the sum of its parts. The cubes of meat were wonderfully tender. I don't claim to be an expert on chili, I just know what I like. If you're a chili aficionado, you must try it. I had the cheesy fries which were also tender, lightly seasoned, and not overwhelmed with a heavy coating of cheese. Too bad I live an hour away.
First time here. Seems like a nice place . Food is great . They have a lot of beer choices. Brisket sandwich with coleslaw is delicious. Fries are delicious too. The place is great if you have kids. There is place for them to play. Outside lawn. Plenty of seating inside and outside. A little short on parking, but you can find some on the street too.
Totally felt like I was back in Texas having some good old comfort food BBQ! Plenty of room for dine in but beware weekends are pretty busy and crazy on holidays so go during the week if you can.
