The ambience is clearly a restaurant attached to a livestock Arena. I don't think you would…read morenecessarily aim to visit this restaurant for that reason it is however kept. The food, which in my case was a hamburger was absolutely wonderful. The french fries were equally well done. The portions are generous and given how busy the restaurant is it was very well prepared. Again, given how busy this particular restaurant is the service is amazingly efficient, and the staff is very nice. Although I would suggest it is not a place you would necessarily want to come to relative to its ambience on the other hand you would miss a wonderful meal if you did not. In my case I chose the meal over the ambience and it was well worth it and that is the reason I give it five stars.

Had the Melt Down with onion rings and the melt was not greasy at all, and included the grilled onion and a huge patty. It was a bit bland though which was the only thing I can say that could be improved upon. The onion rings were obligingly crunchy and tasty.

It turned out to be a real gem. I had the chicken fried steak dinner and my wife had the fried fish and shrimp dinner. Both dishes were utterly amazing. Service was quick and friendly and the prices were extremely reasonable. It's a little off the beaten path but google maps took us there without issue. Needless to say, we will be back!

The sautéed veggies were also an amazing side and has complimented the combo tremendously. I didn't need to use steak sauce at all to cherish the red meat. A small slice at a time plus a little veggie forkful was all it took to have this 5-star taste experience. Add tasty grilled shrimp to palate next. The ambience was great although I think I am starting to get too old for the volume of music at amazing joints like this. I should know better coz it's a sports bar. But I'm fine nonetheless. I heard that their signature Margherita pizza is the star of the show. I should have that next year when I come back to Gonzales. Kayleigh, my server, was top notch. Incredible experience being in downtown Gonzales TX for the first time. A rain storm took me here by destiny. God is good coz I was able to find a church downtown for 4pm worship, then after that while waiting for the rain storm to diminish, gave me the best excuse to have early dinner at this amazing historic restaurant -- I believe a well-deserved stopover after a tiring but fruitful time teaching Redemption at my 8th Royal Rangers PowWow in Halletsville. It's a card game I've been playing and teaching for more than 20 years and counting. See you in a bit Gonzales. See u in a bit Come and Take It.

We sat down and she threw down the menus and silverware and said what do y'all want to drink. We ordered sweet and unsweet teas, gave us the wrong teas. Ended up sweetening the wrong tea bc their was no communication from her on which was which. She Walked by us several times not taking our order. We finally got out of our seats to move over to the other side and she saw we were upset. Then asked what we wanted I told her we are moving to other side. Alexa took care of us right away.
