My husband loved the chicken tortilla soup and burracho beans. The burracho beans were the best I have ever had. He got the cowboy chicken and enjoyed it enough to take leftovers and he hardly takes leftovers. The homemade rootbeer is delightful but it is a bit on the sweet side. Highly recommend this original gem in Allen.

It's become one of the hole-in-the-wall stores where you won't get anything close to retails unless you're one of their favorites. And if you aren't a regular and ask for allocated bottle then get ready to spend over 300$ just to be able to buy it at retail or close to. Spent a lot of money there but they must have changed management because now it's just another who knows who type of place. Save your time and money if you're just buying something available all the time. Stick to total wine or specs.

They had a top shelf behind the counter with allocated stuff, but you have to earn points through purchases before being able to purchase them. Instead of a lottery, customers are rewarded for making purchases. If you have enough points for an allocated item, you can purchase it. I met Nag, who was very friendly and knowledgeable. I discovered some brands that I was blissfully unaware of, and had a great shopping experience. There was plenty of parking at the shopping center, and it's very easy to get to. I will definitely come back! Oh, I forgot to ask if they offer military discounts. Next time.

The staff was very helpful and…read morepleasant, which helps because the selection is large and the layout of the sections wasn't super clear. The spirits are well labeled - and they look cool! - but inside the aisle is is less clear. Selection was spotty. They have some great bottles: I found an Appleton 15 and an El Dorado 18, plus an Old Grand Dad 114, but they didn't have not-from-concentrate lime juice, Falernum, or passion fruit syrup. And some of their prices were outlandish - 25% above nearby shops - and some were reasonable. So, a good place to go with a nice staff, but be careful to know what you should be paying.

They have a massive collection of everything. The prices are pretty good compared to other places, and they have a lot of variety of soju starting from $4.99 a bottle.

This is one of my favorite places to have a tasting! What a delightful time I had holding a vodka tasting at Bobby's store. While I was there, I noticed how wonderful and helpful Bobby and Josh are. Bobby genuinely cares for the customers and will learn everyone's name also, remembering you the next time you are in the store. Josh is extremely helpful and will even help you to your car if needed! If you are shopping for liquor go see them! P.S. If your in the store and like vodka get a bottle of Kruto, it's extremely smooth and you'll love it! read more

Really awesome owner and store. We special ordered Red White and Berry and they quickly got a few bottles in for us.

I highly recommend coming to this place! read more

They have HUGE size bottles of everything and a good selection of the gift boxes that come with a set of cups or shakers and what not.
