The place was as pretty calm and quiet, but it was a weekday lunch. It had a relaxed vibe, but I can imagine it being the exact opposite in the evening. The restaurant itself is spacious, and there's a fully loaded bar in the back will lift your spirits if that's what you're into, I kept things simple and ordered a burger with onion rings. The tall guy who took my order was as friendly as they come. I couldn't finish my burger, but every bite was excellent. The Smokin' Bull is definitely on my "return-to" list.

We were here during the lunch period and it was only half full. We were waited upon right away, had our drink choices within moments. My wife chose the link sausages with potato salad and baked beans. She didn't care for the potato salad, liked everything else. I had sliced pork, onion rings and green beans. The pork was tender and delicious! I liked the onion rings, although the batter was a bit thick. The green beans were a bit over cooked and had a different taste that was sweeter than I'm used to. The wife had banana pudding, which she said was very good. I had the lemon cream pie, it was very good. I couldn't eat all the whipped cream on top though. Bathroom was very clean, the whole restaurant looks brand new inside. Light colors, good lighting, and a new layout make this a enjoyable venue. The staff was friendly. No discounts for military nor seniors.This is a new location for Backyard Barbecue.

After church with our kids and I didn't expect the heat to feel so bad when we were seated outside since it was so busy but they brought us in after tables opened up inside before we got our pizzas. Hands down. This is the best pizza I've had in a a while! Boy do they deliver! All of our pizzas, the blond, a spicy one and the bbq pineapple were so fresh and delicious! Our server was a total sweet heart too, going above and beyond for us! I can't say enough of the hospitality of this place. Not only that but the decor was modern country cute. Love it! They had some extra large Jenga to play outside we didn't get to play with but I'd definitely come back here next time we visit again! Highly recommended! (Didn't take pictures we were so hungry!)

The owner, Christy, and her staff are incredibly attentive without ever being smothering. I instantly fell in love with the vibe of both the environment and the team. I tried a blueberry vodka mule that Christy created on the spot, and it was yummy x 10! Paired with my Rueben calzone, I also had a beer flight that Christy put together for me after just a couple of quick questions. She was spot on--I enjoyed every single one. And that Rueben calzone? Absolutely divine! If you're a Rueben fan, it's a must-try. The decor is adorable as well! Overall, Mule Kick delivered an outstanding experience--delicious food and drinks, an extremely welcoming atmosphere, and service that makes you feel right at home, even when dining alone and just traveling through. ~Highly recommend!

We waited a very long time for our food, over 30mins which should not have took 30mins for what we got. The chicken on the chicken and rice was beyond disappointing. It was not even half of a chicken breast. If you're wanting protein, you prob will have to pay for extra because they definitely don't give you the proper portion for the size of the plate and the amount of rice. Very disappointed in the food proportioning, but flavor was good. Clean inside.
