And I have had nitro ice cream throughout Austin and California when I used to live there. Their birthday cake and animal cracker ice creams are to die for and are an absolute must try. I don't find the ratings on this shop to be fair because people are more inclined to leave negative reviews than positive. I have had nothing but a positive experience with this location every single time I have visited. I tell everyone within my circle about this hidden gem in Taylor. They do get pretty busy on weekends but I have not had any issues with the customer service on that front. They have an amazing selection of novelty candies and bits and bobbles... There is something for everyone at this location. Here is a quick insider tip: If you buy a candy bar, you can ask the associate to use it as a mix-in into your ice cream. We took a rum chocolate bar and used it as a mix-in and it was pure heaven. Great job Big O's!

When I asked if she could make the ice finer she said no. Called the phone number on yelp to speak to the owner since I knew that this wasn't service and snow cone wasn't to standard he answered the phone by saying "what!" I said "excuse me this is a customer that just made an unsatisfactory purchase, and I'm very dissatisfied" he yelled at me and said " so what do you want!" I said a refund at this point since you are being so ugly he said "why would I do that?" I responded "because you practically sold me ice like the one from the ice machine next door" he replied "well maybe you should go there instead ". I finally ended the call by saying "ok I will make sure I add these details to the yelp review I will be making" he said "I DONT CARE!!" So there you have it.

TLDR: Restaurant in an old high school band hall that delivers on nostalgic vibes but falls short…read moreon food. The fried green tomatoes are great here but for me, almost everything else was a disappointment. Not as kid-friendly as you'd expect. It pains me to leave such a low rating (and I rarely do) but this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had in a while. And it didn't have to be that way so hopefully my review can grab someone's attention. This place has so much potential because it's in such a cool location -- the band hall of an old high school (fun decor and cool nostalgic vibes). I had really high hopes for this restaurant but it let me down. Here's what went wrong. THE FOOD: First and foremost, the food was disappointing... except for their vegetable appetizers. The fried green tomatoes were fantastic. Nailed it in terms of texture and flavor. My husband and I were both surprised by how good they were. Their Brussels sprouts appetizer was really good as well. After that, it was all downhill. I had the Mom's Meatloaf with two sides: Cowboy Caviar and green beans. The meatloaf wasn't bad but it wasn't exactly a loaf -- it was like meatballs connected together? I didn't taste the bacon in the tomato sauce and the portion felt tiny -- same size as the sides. The sides were a real letdown. The green beans tasted like they came straight from a Jolly Green Giant can. The Cowboy Caviar (which I usually love) was so bland. It was like they just poured beans and corn and pepper and onion in and that's it. I didn't taste any seasoning. Cowboy Caviar needs to have that zing (many simple recipes use Italian salad dressing). Moving onto my husband's dish which was probably the worst part. His tomato soup tasted like marinara sauce but we were hoping the filet mignon would deliver. It was simply not good. It wasn't as tender as filet mignon needs to be -- it was chewy. It did seem to be cooked as requested (medium rare) but it didn't taste good and seemed flavorless -- almost as if the meat was poor quality. Now, I know that filet mignon is a much more mild tasting cut and less flavorful than a ribeye for instance, but still, something felt very off with this steak. Neither of us enjoyed it and that's a bummer (especially at that price point). KIDS: Usually restaurants like this one are more kid-friendly so I was a bit surprised. Our kids are 3.5YO and 2YO. They brought a booster for my youngest. It had no straps at all (which I'm not even complaining about because those straps are broken at literally every restaurant). We were in a booth so it worked okay mostly. What I'm unhappy about is the lack of coloring options and kids menus. We were not brought any crayons and coloring paper upon seating so we inquired. The waitress said she'd look and ended up coming back with crayons and some paper placemats to doodle on? I respect the ingenuity but I was confused. They have crayons on hand but they don't offer them to the kids? What's the deal with that? They didn't have a kids menu printed anywhere and the waitress just told us the offerings out loud. So is there an official kids menu or not? I'd like to be able to see the prices as well. Also a bit perplexing. We went ahead and ordered one grilled cheese for the kids to share and I'm glad because it was big but also not very good. The bread was too dense so it was more of a bread sandwich. My kids weren't that into it. Almost forgot -- the fries that came with the grilled cheese were actually very good (got to give credit where it's due). TIME: Our food took forever. It wasn't a fun wait -- the kids were getting super restless. The waitress stopped by a couple times to tell us that "our food is just around the corner." Even though it ended up being untrue -- I appreciate her checking in.

I could be wrong about that but I think that is where he started and even bought a big smoker from them that he uses today.

On top of that it has a very old-Texas feel to it with a screen door coming in and the mature wood interior. Very authentic Texas BBQ.
