"We visited on 7/28/2023 and we were just driving up from Florida back to Jersey. We decided to stop for dinner and chose this place because the menu looked good online. It was very strange because I didn’t realize you have to order your food and pay for it as soon as you get in. We ordered three soft drinks and two waters. When we sat down to wait for our food a worker came over and in a very loud and obnoxious tone of voice said “I just confirmed that you didn’t pay for those 2 waters.” I said, we’ll we ordered two waters. She said well the water is in the soft drink machine you push it and get it. Well we ordered two waters so we assumed they were bottles because the receipt they gave us only had the total on it so how are we to think you didn’t charge us for bottled water. I felt everyone was looking at us because now they think we stoke two bottles of bottled water lol. If I worked in customer service I would have walked over and politely stated that “they” didn’t ring us up for bottled water. She was very arrogant. It was the woman who takes your name when you come in. The waitress in the other hand came up to us a few times to ask us if we needed anything and she was so nice. The other woman needs to be more like that waitress. You also have to get your own silverware and drinks. I feel this doesn’t allow the waitresses to get tips. We can’t tip on service they didn’t do. Food was great, so I can’t complain about that."

"A 4.8 rating for sure! Very clean cozy rustic dining area. I was surprised to see that there was also a full bar available with some great spirits on hand, not just the run of the mill stick at that! Marvelous fork tender brisket that doesn’t just fall entirely apart (an important point for me, personally) very flavorful jalapeño pork sausage while not being punishing on the spicy side of the palate. The spicy BBQ sauce had a wonderful balance of sweetness to it that was not quite the level of heat I was looking for, but managed to fit the bill the meats very well. The sides are very good though they didn’t stand apart exceptionally make no mistake, they’re Very good, but didn’t reinvent the wheel. The small craft soda selections from Oak Cliff were far superior to the large brand soft drinks typically found. Made with real sugar, they surely added an unexpected touch to my dining experience that I enjoyed more than I would’ve figured. The staff was very knowledgeable about their offerings were able to really make this a place that stands apart. Clean, courteous knowledgeable are all high marks that they earned helped to seal my many future returns. In all, a warm, inviting atmosphere with great food that I’d be happy to share with out of town guests or a gathering place with friends family. A typical Texas “gully washer” of a storm was about to hit as I arrived, so I didn’t get to enjoy the day’s cooler August temperature on their patio, but I hope to on subsequent visits!"
