It was so bad, it was thicken than a flour tortilla and as soft as one. Then there is the "steak " which was bland and cardboard like.

The fried mushrooms were good, but a little seasoning in the flour would help boost the flavor. Man n cheese was ok, onion rings were blah. The water was very refreshing.

The caprese was excellent, the charcuterie board had a great selection of meats, cheeses, bread, and accompaniments, and the blistered peppers were a perfect addition. The martinis were also very well made. What made the evening even better was the service. Kaylyn was our server and did an outstanding job--friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. We also had the opportunity to meet Liana, the manager, who was incredibly welcoming and clearly takes pride in making sure guests have a great experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, making it the perfect place to order several things for the table, take your time, and enjoy the evening. We finished with the gelato cups, which were a fun way to end the night. Great food, great drinks, and exceptional service. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend Aperitivo's, and be sure to ask for Kaylyn!

The bartenders and servers know all the locals which is evident every time me and my coworkers stop in here for happy hours or for dinner. They still give us the attention we need for drink refills and food orders. For drinks, it's mainly beer although they have hard liquor available here. I always stick with Miller Lite since it's cheap and they bring it out quick. As for food, it's mainly burgers and bar eats. The appetizers such as the wings, chips n queso, fried jalapenos, and pretzel bites w/ beer cheese are our favorites. Meanwhile, they do good burgers here which are a favorite amongst the team. Each day will have food specials such as half priced appetizers and $1 wings. Check the menu out for the full details. It's a great place to watch sports and grab drinks/eats or catch live music if it's available. This is part of our rotation whenever we're in Lufkin.

The second thing I noticed was all the red chairs were disgustingly stained. Weird gross patterns. Apparently it was formerly a Chinese place so I guess they kept the dirty chairs. 1/5 THE BEER: The have a giant beer list which I presume is keeping with the Barkeeps name. We ordered 3 different drafts and they all came out flat. Not a good sign when you purport to be a beer joint. Must have kegs sitting around for a long time or they have no idea how to do a proper tap. The flattest beer I've ever had in my life. 1/5 THE FOOD: Getting to the menu it was not at all what I expected based on the name. Pho, Bahn Mi, Naan tacos, Asian bowls, Salads, Curries, they all looked amazing on the menu. Pictures on yelp also looked great. We ordered Samosas, Boudin Eggrolls, and Potstickers for appetizers and they were all delicious. Had never had Boudin Eggrolls before and they did not disappoint. I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki bowl with cucumber, avocado, lettuce, and white rice was FANTASTIC. The sauce was delicious and all of it was delicious and fresh. Would love to order this again. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well. No complaints there. 5/5 THE SERVICE: A little slow but we were a big group. 4/5 OVERALL: For the food alone I would go back again the kitchen was crushing it. I would avoid the draft beer. Wish they would update the tables and chairs. 4/5

My first impression of this place was not a positive one. Two stars only because the Manager and…read morethe Host did their best to resolve what was a mess of a dining experience. The primary issue was the food quality. My brother and I got separate orders of mixed Fajitas. The shrimp turned out fine, good in fact, but the chicken was dry and overcooked and the beef was somehow worse. The beef fajitas specifically charred and inedible. The portion size for the price you pay was a tad high. Mixed Fajitas (chicken and beef) for one at other restaurants give you more than two slices of each meat. The fajita plate doesn't include cheese or sour cream; if you enjoy that it's extra. Just before the food came out, a sopping wet ceiling tile and blown-in insulation fell from the ceiling. Pieces of insulation made it into nearby tables (including ours) and into drinks. The mess was quickly resolved. Mess cleaned up. Drinks replaced. Tables wiped down. But the AC had to be turned off because the line continued to leak over the bar. This was an accident and doesn't reflect poorly on the service, but it added to the overall first impression being less than ideal. There were several miscommunications with the waiter. He got two of our orders wrong. The manager had to come over and solve one because he didn't understand the request to substitute yellow American cheese for white Monterey Jack cheese. The manager resolved this and the enchiladas were very good after it was corrected. My SIL ordered a queso flameado with chicken, but the waiter brought out one with beef instead. The beef on this dish was also incredibly dry and inedible.. Even after pointing out the mistake and fixing it with the correct order the waiter charged for the beef. Upon trying to get the bill corrected, the waiter didn't give the correct cash back and the Host had to resolve the issue. Overall impression: not a place I'll return to anytime soon.
