We were already a little on the full side with drinks before stopping here and then the bounty which is this feast put us over the top with fullness. It comes with: 1 lb. SLICED BRISKET 1 lb.

It fed the four of us and then we all took home enough to have another meal.

Brisket and pulled pork werenokay but it definitely has a way to go to call itself Texas style. 2. The elote corn had a great base but need the snkoed chipokte or red pepper added. 3. The price was crazy ... $99 for two people. 4. The awkwardness of stand at the front door and wait for a table to open .. no hostess.

We came on a Thursday when they have a couple options for a $12 pitcher of beer. What a deal! I also had the strawberry wine cocktail and it was sweet but really delicious. The food we had was good (fish & chips/burger) I will say the homemade tartar sauce was unique and tasty. The potato salad was good but just keep in mind it tastes cajun like it has old bay in it which isn't bad just wasn't what I expected.

The pork chop was tender, juicy and flavorful while the potatoes were extra crispy. The lamb on a bed of peas with bits of crunchy chick peas on top of tzatziki was also amazing (I don't think it can outshine the pork chop) the lamb was a hearty serving of tender deliciousness as well. Ended things with the brown butter cake drizzled in salted caramel topped with mousse and pumpkin seeds - also fabulous.

Adding a new review since the new location and menu is pretty different…read more Let's start with the pizza since that's new. First, I'm obsessed with their CRUST! I am so often disappointed by pizza crust - but this one keeps me coming back for more! As a huge bonus, it's freshly milled organic wheat, so it's way healthier than your average crust and it tastes way better in my opinion. The sausage pizza and the dessert pizza are top-tier; each bite reminds me how much I love it. We didn't love the hot honey as much, there just really wasn't enough hot honey on it. Their drink menu got a lot smaller, but the drinks that are on it are delicious (at least of the ones we had). Huge props to Loon for also including some mocktails and NA options. So even though the pepperoni pizza didn't blow us away and I'm bummed at the limited cocktail options, I'm still giving it 5 stars because their sausage and dessert pizzas are easily my favorite pizza nearby. The staff has also been great as well.

This just strikes me as odd for a co op, especially when GAC is able to provide it all over their campus.
