    Sliced beef sandwich-lean
    Jon B.

    "When you get stuck between the moon and New York City?" And Subway just won't do? You eat at a local BBQ shack. Which I'm a sucker for small town Texas BBQ joints. I thought a BBQ sandwich and chips sounded good and..it was as expected. The place is Fire Dept themed which ironically had an indoor smoking patron. I guess that's how they roll out here.

    2 Eggs, Toast and Hash Browns, with bacon and sausage added.

    It's was nice and quiet, yet very tasty breakfast. I'm glad that I came here, as opposed to waiting an hour at Denny's or IHOP. The service is better here, and if you get a chance, you can't go wrong with the Chicken Fried Steak.

    Dirty walls
    Jose A.

    Not impressed. Firstly most of the tables were filthy. This is completely unacceptable as you will see in the pictures, the table I found had some dirty plates from I'm guessing the previous customer. The walls were splattered with what looked like coke maybe? Idk but even under the glass covered tables it was just filthy. Not off to a good start. I got the sampler plate. Pork ribs were great, sausage was ok, brisket was tender but flavorless. Could of at least brought some bread with the order. Ambiance was ok but could use some music, both waitresses and the tv on gave it an eerie atmosphere and was not fun. I definitely won't be back but if I am I'll come at a later time.

    Me and my wife chose a place nearby and I didn't expect much when I initially pulled in but I was pleasantly surprised with the down to earth atmosphere and the professional courtesy of the staff the food was great the quantities were large and the prices were extremely reasonable these people have gotten a customer for life

    Dry old brisket
    Jackie R.

    Never again will I go here , What a waste of money my brisket was extra dry and old taste to it.The sausage was extra extra dry . Service ladies are nice except didn't like that they are they smoking cigarets and eating chips and grabbing food while it comes out the kitchen very unsanitary place .

    started to fall apart...very generous!

    This is my favorite place to eat in town. I love their grilled chicken sandwich and the waitresses are always polite.

    If the food and everything around didn't taste and smell like cigarettes then this place would be OK. The coffee even taste like it.

    I had the fried Chicken salad, and have to say, it was the most moist and flavorful chicken I have ever eaten.
