The best part, of course, is the cattle drive. They do it twice a day at 11:30am and 4:00pm. Beautiful longhorns! You can also view them in the pens after the drive. Tip: We parked about 2 blocks away on a (shaded!) side street for free. We avoided the crowded pay parking lot.

My friends and I spent time walking around the Stockyards area, popping into shops, window shopping at some very luxurious western wear stores, and soaking in the atmosphere. Between the cowboy boots, giant belt buckles, hats, leather goods, and rustic architecture, the entire area felt like a mix of Texas history and tourist attraction. The highlight for me, of course, was watching the famous cattle drive featuring ENORMOUS Texas longhorn cattle walking right down the middle of the street!!! It was something I had never experienced before and I found it fascinating! Yes, I do wish it lasted a little longer, but as an introduction to Texan culture and Stockyards history, it was fantastic and memorable. Standing there and watching these massive animals casually stroll through town while crowds gather to cheer and take photos - wow, just wow! Speaking of photos... yes, I sat on one of the longhorns for a picture because... when in Texas!?

They include a brief description of the artwork and the name of the artist which I enjoyed reading. I could imagine spending a couple of hours by yourself or with friends/family.

They were both very friendly and soothing. This lowered my WRATh a little. Once we signed in, we started talking to existing and now new friends and the WRAth is lowering down even more. We were finding that several friends had had as lovely of a day as I had had. The very attentive and friendly servers brought out our special drink "The Little Red Wasp" man this thing is spicy but I feel the WRath is getting even lower. The homemade pimento cheese and chips oh so very good. The Wrath is even lower. After having a great meal, Egg Salad Sandwich and a Breckenridge Porter, and the wrath is gone. Thank you Little Red Wasp for helping turn a very rough day into a wonderful evening. Kendell, Adam, and Austin, thank you very much for a great time. GREAT JOB AS USUAL.

There really was something for everyone to eat. Also liked how they had the beer and wine station set up. My favorite was the bubble Bus. They had trendy drinks, like the Aperol Spritz. I really appreciated the variety of the types of art showcased, as well as being able to see where the artist was from. I Highly recommend going every year if you can. It's free to get in, and you just have to buy your food and drink.

The restaurant is small and cozy. Twice we could not get in without a long wait. Other times we made reservations and did not need them. Best to be safe and call. Bar seating is also available if you want to sit there. The food was very good, we tried two of the dishes. They are Chicken Sunrise, and Veal Genovese, both come with pasta and the sauce on the meals are wonderful. Since we like these two dishes so much it is hard to try anything else. Bread rolls also come with the meal. Salad is extra, I had the Caesar salad. Started with an appetizer Escargot Provencal.... oh man this is good. Dip your bread into the garlic butter yum. The plates have plenty of food you will be full or take-home leftover. Nice glass of wine is good with the meal. Service was good once they were terribly busy, so the food came out slowly. But I understand the staff were working very hard. They only had two wait staff when we were there. Great place to go for a date or special night. Or anytime casual inside.
