    This place is loaded with atmosphere and I felt good walking in. Now this might sound a bit crazy, but I love picking up my cutlery and finding that it actually has some heft to it, and that's what I got with my knife and fork. LOL Mr. Picky really liked his shrimp tacos and I thought that his chili rice and black beans were really excellent when I stole bites off of his plate. I ordered the stuffed chicken fried chicken and was very pleasantly surprised. They substituted sides for me so I had green beans (very fresh and flavorful) and onion rings with it. Although I'm not usually a lover of white meat chicken, I actually found this to be moist enough to eat, I liked the Gouda stuffed inside and the outer coating was fried beautifully crisp. I particularly liked the gravy that they used and asked for extra so if you order this do the same. It had a nice peppery aftertaste and I asked if it was the same gravy that they use on their chicken fried steak. It is. For dessert we shared the sooapilla, strawberry and whipped pie thing, and bread pudding. Hands down, the moist warm bread pudding with ice-cream was by far the best. Overall, this was an enjoyable dining experience and we'll definitely plan on heading back. (Brunch on Sundays only.). Based on dining, it should be rated higher than a "3.6" so give it a shot when you're in the mood for some down-home cooking.

    Really enjoyed lunch at Frio. Stellar service by Steve! He really was the highlight of our visit. Very attentive and food was prompt. Hamburger was grilled exactly as ordered. Chicken strips were perfect as was Caesar salad and yummy Mac n Cheese. We had some littles with us so loved the outdoor play area. It was a little early for a cold brew but it appeared this would be a fun night spot as well. Overall great service, strong menu and fun!

    The food and service have been great each time we come here. The atmosphere is very comfortable and spaced out so that you don't feel like you are sitting at the other table next to you.

    Okay maybe it isn't a solid 5, but it is a lot better than a 3.7! This restaurant is sooo Texas. It is quirky. Fried pickles and chicken fried steak sandwiches, a dessert called the Texas State Fair with fried oreos twinkies and snickers bars, and mystery cans of beer for $2.50! In these days of corporate similitude I have to salute a restaurant who will deep fry a twinky or two. Service was excellent. Mystery beer was "three on the tree lager" out of Blanco TX. They built it to look rustic.

    Frio Grill absolutely nailed the Frio River theme, the nostalgia was intense. Our waiter, despite being extremely busy was very attentive and seemed happy to be there. The Mac N' Cheese balls are AMAZING. Not only are they fried to perfection, but the Mac itself is tasty with a hint of spice. Not your everyday Kraft for sure. Stuffed Chicken fried Chicken, a solid dish. No complaints, loved the Gouda and the French fries are actually seasoned and enjoyable. If you're a fry lover like myself, definitely get some. My mother ordered the Pecan Bourbon Chicken, it was a bit sweet but a nice meal. If you're more towards savory I suggest just going with the chicken fried chicken. Drinks were good too. We will be back. The environment alone is worth it. 10/10 experience.

It's like bingo and a sing-along had a really good time together. The energy in the room was great, everyone was into it, and the whole place had that laid-back, friendly vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The crowd was fun, the staff was welcoming, and the atmosphere felt very "local hangout" in the best way. It's the kind of place where you can show up with friends, laugh way too much, and leave already planning your next visit. If you're looking for a low-key night out that's actually entertaining, Singo Bingo at The Barn is absolutely worth checking out. Definitely one of the most fun nights I've had in a while.

First they shut down their parking lot, and then started selling tickets. So if you bought a ticket that got you into the parking lot. However, you needed to buy a second ticket to get in to see the band, or you could just hang out in thier parking lot. Heres is where it gets worse. Since they shut down thier parking lot You had to park next door at the chruch. Which gladly charged $15. Now I only bought the first ticket because my girlfriend bought my second ticket. I did hear another patron say it cost her $70 and she ubered there so she didn't pay for the parking. I think we will not be returning to this establishment.

    I recently tried Mia's Table and came away with mixed feelings…read more I ordered the 12 oz ribeye steak with mashed potatoes, cream corn, and fried onion rings. The steak was honestly the highlight of the meal. It was cooked well, flavorful, and easily the best thing on the plate. Unfortunately, everything else ranged from mediocre to disappointing. The fried onion rings were extremely salty and just not enjoyable. The mashed potatoes were also overly salty, which made them hard to eat. The cream corn was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. What Mia's Table does really well is the atmosphere. The restaurant has a lively, family friendly environment, and it was packed when I visited. They also have a self serve ice cream bar, which is a nice touch for families with kids. If I were rating solely based on ambiance and overall vibe, I would probably give it 4 stars. The frustrating part is that I spent about $26 on my meal and ended up only really enjoying the steak. For that price point, I expected the sides to be just as good as the main dish. Overall, a great atmosphere and a solid steak, but the food quality was too inconsistent for me to rate it any higher.

    So, this place newly opened up in the Cypress area and we were excited because we'd heard good…read morethings from the Magnolia location... not so much. The bad: The chili was weird, like it had a weird metallic taste, that then turned into a lingering spice. The spicy factor wasn't the problem, it was the weird taste. The queso wasn't queso. It was like a slightly heated cream cheese type mixture. So more of a cream cheese thick dip than a queso. They charged me $3-$4 for 3 bites of Mac and cheese (see photo)! Also, the breakfast I ordered was $14 and had dry French toast, way overcooked scrambled eggs, which became like egg nuggets and 2 skinny pieces of bacon, that I asked for crispy, but tasted burnt. The good: The Pulled Pork Sandwich was the star of the whole show. It has the Mac and cheese on top and we ended up ordering 2 to go. The drinks were so tasty and well made. Normal cocktail prices, but delicious every time. Our waiter/bartender was so nice and kind. Overall when food is concerned, would never go back. But if I wanted a good espresso martini or old fashioned and was in the area... I'd stop in.

The service is prompt and friendly, and most of all, the food arrived piping hot. That in itself was great. Everything had very good flavor, and excellent texture.

I'm not exaggerating...the average age in there had to be about 83. I guess the early bird special got all the senior citizens out there and asleep. On a Saturday night, the place was basically empty by 8:30pm. After eating there, I completely understand why. The French onion soup showed up looking promising, then immediately disappointed. Zero seasoning. No salt, no pepper, just... bland broth sadness. I ordered a T-bone steak, and I've genuinely seen bigger cuts at a grocery store. Not even a nice butcher, just your average supermarket. My steak was paper thin and butchered so poorly it looked like it went 12 rounds with Rocky Balboa. I paid an extra $5 for their "coffee seasoning," and I'm still trying to figure out if they forgot it or just waved it over the plate from across the kitchen. My wife ordered the surf and turf. $109 later, we got what might be the most overpriced plate I've ever seen: a tiny portion, two pieces of asparagus, and about a tablespoon of completely unseasoned mashed potatoes. The lobster tail? Cooked so long it should've come with a warning label. We left wondering how a steakhouse could miss this badly across the board. Save your money. Buy a steak from the grocery store. It'll be bigger, taste better, and you won't feel like you just funded a very slow, very bland experiment.
