Walking into the building you wouldn't think much of the place, but once you get into the restaurant you feel like you are in a typical Texas roadhouse. Cozy, warm, homey, and delightful all around. I asked the waiter if the burger was cooked properly or the Houston style (burnt to a crisp and disgusting). Fortunately, being so far away from Houston, I was assured the burger would be nice and juicy: indeed it was. Fresh cut, perfectly fried okra alongside a juicy burger made this meal perfect. I wish I could give this place a diamond rating. Texas Michelin Star Worthy for sure. Got to meet Billy as well. True gentleman.

We were BLOWN AWAY by the number of college students, dressed in their Sunday's best, openly praying over their food before enjoying some awesome chicken. It was SO NICE TO SEE! We ordered a family meal (20 pieces), 2 sides of fries and a chicken sandwich meal. We paid around $40. Great value! The food came out quick and arrived hot and fresh. I had a slight "issue" where I thought my chicken wasn't fully cooked and the manager reassured me that it was just breading but happily remade my sandwich to give me peace of mind. I REALLY appreciated that. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals, literally leaving "not a fry left behind." The size of my chicken on the sandwich was HUGE- had to be hanging off the roll by 2" on each side! Staff were phenomenal. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Love the laid back decor. Plenty of seating inside and some tables outdoors as well. Definitely recommend!

I chose the hottest seasoning they had--pretty sure it was ghost pepper--and yeah, it was spicy but didn't make me miserable. There was a lot of food, and it definitely filled us up. My wife got mac n cheese with hers and really enjoyed every bite. The cashier was nice and attentive. The atmosphere is great for a lunch or dinner date. Plus, they have large booths, which we really appreciate.

My husband specifically ordered his stuffed potato with NO sour cream. When it came out wrong, I politely let our server know. She stared at me blankly for what felt like a minute, and when I asked how long it would take to remake it, her response was simply, "I don't know." No apology. No solution. No effort. My husband finally said, "It's fine," and she replied, "I'll just take it off the ticket." I was a server for 5 years. Your entire job is serving people and taking care of customers. Mistakes happen, but not caring is unacceptable. I tip well when people try. Today, I left $0 because the complete lack of concern was impossible to ignore. Nobody expects perfection, but customers do expect you to care.

The chips were nice and crispy and they were warm and the salsa was tasty. I like that the chips were not over salted. When the server came to take our order, she seemed to be confused by the fact that I could not eat sour cream and other people did not want guacamole. Which resulted in extra side orders of guacamole and a plate of sour cream. I ordered the barbacoa plate and my dining companion ordered the lingua. Unfortunately, the Barbacoa was not very good. It seemed a bit dry and did not have much flavor. Lingua was actually pretty tasty. It's a family place, I saw several families dining. Overall, I believe in second chances maybe if I ordered something different on the menu I would have had better experience.

What a wonderful surprise! About a quarter mile from the south end of the very serviceable 3000 x 40 runway was the Overlook Cafe. We chose a table near the window, which overlooked several lakes and forestland, and the friendly wait staff brought us tea and coke and took our order. The menu listed about 15 lunch options, and we chose a Nacho plate (for me) and Cobb Salad (for my buddy). Both dishes were generously-sized for our appetites. The Cobb salad included egg, bacon, cheese and chicken on a bed of lettuce and tomato. It was priced at $9 and was very well worth it! The nachos were loaded with ground beef and melted *real* cheese (as opposed to that ubiquitous nasty liquid cheese sauce that so many other places serve on what they call nachos). They included guacamole and sour cream, and just enough pico. A very filling and delicious lunch for only $7! Next time back, we'll sample other dishes from the menu...if they're as good as what we had today (and what I saw other diners enjoying), I expect to write another glowing review. The wait staff earned a generous tip for their attention to our drinks and plates, and at the end of the meal they even summoned a golf cart to ferry me and my arthritic hip back to our plane (although that was above and beyond the call and wouldn't necessarily expect that every time!). HIGHLY recommended!

The staff was very accommodating to our large family and got the food out very quickly. The menu is a little limited as most of the options were on the catering menu, but we were all able to find something enjoyable and they took great care of us. It was clean and nice inside - too wet to check out the outside options but looked nice for a different day. I had the "Hot Mess" which was a baked potato with brisket and then they let me customize to leave the onions and jalapeños off. It was tasty and the meat was good. My husband had a chopped brisket sandwich and some sliced sausage which he said both were good. We got my son a half chicken which was fine but a little drier than he would have liked. Overall we are just thankful at how nice they were to make sure we all got what we needed and even offered refills before we headed back out.
