This is a beautiful venue! I came to this saloon because I am a huge fan of country singer Cale…read moreMoon. I am soooooo happy he played this establishment becuae it was an amazing find. First off, the look is very classy, but down home country. It is a perfect mix. Secondly, the people made me feel like I was back down South. They were welcoming, fun, and kind. However, the best part of this place is the food. OMG! Ya'll, I am serious. The food will make you do a happy dance. I had the pull pork taco. It looked and tasted like good ole Texans BBQ heaven. I could tell that this is a local hangout and for them to have live music also was just devine, especially Cale Moon. He is fun and has a voice that will blow you away. If you are ever in the Johnson City area and want a quick bite to eat in a beautiful country western setting, stop by this place. Trust me, you wont be disappointed.

Stopped by after a trip to Luckenbach and we were starving. As I walked in I noticed no more pool…read moretables which was disappointing. I had my pup with me and asked if we could sit on the patio and have lunch, was with a group of folks and we were all starving, was looking forward to having an early dinner and cold beverages. The lady working behind the bar was very rude, and let me know that absolutely no animals are allowed anywhere on their premises. We continued on down the road and found a great place that was happy to have us, my small pup and our business.

My brother and I have been riding our motorcycles all over the Texas hill country and we happened…read moreto find this cool little bar out near the Lake Buchanan dam. Motorcycle parking right up front, great views from the covered patio area in the back, and ice cold beer. They also have TV's, a pool table or two, lots of bar seating, nice restrooms and a very friendly bartender. We needed a snack and the fried mushrooms that would normally be about $11.99 at any restaurant/bar in closer to the city were priced attractively at about $6 and served piping hot. We will definitely be back on a day when we have more time to hang out and enjoy the nice weather at this cool indoor/outdoor bar.

There is indoor and outdoor seating. The burgers are soooo good and massive. They make them fresh everyday and even weigh them. So when they say 1/2 pound burger, you're getting a 1/2 pound burger. Everything is reasonably priced and just a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Ticked away in a little complex without 79 visibility along with a couple of other places that don't seem to get much traffic either. Finally made our first visit so we could try "the best fish & chips" in the Austin area. I was surprised how big it was, they have a patio, a bar area and lots of tables I was shocked as from the outside it looks tiny. Service was fantastic which was shocking with them closing soon. The service was enough to want me to go back hopefully for us in this area they end up somewhere close by as I know how hard it is to find good workers. Pretzels were good! Onion rings were our favorite! Their version of the Philly was just okay, was very plain with not much flavor hubby didn't even finish half. But the star of the show was the fish and chips. My son was over the moon! Couldn't even finish half of it and he wanted to haha. Sad to see they will be closing their doors but hopefully the owner has something else up his sleeve as they were onto something with this place.

Service was good, and the ambiance was fun. Lots of sports on the multiple tv screens. My friend…read moreenjoyed her beef curry, and the portion was so generous that she had leftovers to take home. I ordered the fish and chips. The piece of fish was enormous! It was cooked well, if a little too much breading for my taste. The chips were really good. The tartar sauce was different than I am used to, a little runny and pink tinged, but it was good. The mushy peas were yummy and added an authenticity to the dish. I didn't really use the curry sauce that also came with the dish. To me it doesn't go with fish or chips. I did taste it, and the flavor was great.

Our first stop for a drink and a quick bite on our little mini staycation. Is it a dive bar? Yes!…read moreFriendly staff and locals. Does it have high end drink options? Also yes!! Does it have a simple yet elevated menu? ALSO YES! First I was like alright dive bar. Then you realize it is an upscale dive bar in a sort. Drinks come out of a cooler filled with ice OR are perfectly crafted in front of you. We started by sharing the recommendation of the DEVILED EGGS (5 pc) with the Korean Chili Crisp. Was a curious as it seems like a dive bar?You betcha. Was it maybe the best deviled eggs I've ever had. Absolutely! Get these for sure! Then we shared the JOJOS "Seasoned Potato Wedges" with Boom Boom Sauce. The crunch and flavor of the potatoes was spot on. The boom boom sauce is house made and has a lovely kick to it. We couldn't eat them all because our next item came... We both had a SMASH BURGER: Double Double, Beef Patties, American Cheese, Boom Boom Sauce on a Potato Roll. I am going to say when I want a smash burger this is what I am thinking of. This is what I want. The only thing, some days I may want just ketchup and not Boom Boom sauce but that is by day and mood only. Damn they did good! I'll be back. I will need to eat all of this again!

Ordered the Grumpy Old Fashioned and another drink. But the old fashioned had me blown away. Forget…read morethe other drink... If that's what grumpy tastes like, sign me up. Rich. Smooth. That hint of chocolate bitterness sneaking in like it has secrets it's not ready to share. Strong, confident, and completely unbothered -- the kind of drink that doesn't raise its voice because it doesn't have to. No unnecessary frills. No overcomplicated theatrics. Just a perfectly crafted cocktail that respects tradition but adds a little dark, sultry wink. It lingers just long enough to make you lean in for another sip. 10/10. Grumpy never tasted so good -- and I wouldn't mind getting into trouble with it again. The bar itself? Classy without being stuffy. The kind of place where you can show up dressed up or dressed down and still feel like you belong. Dim lighting, great vibe, zero pretension. I'll absolutely be back, service was stellar. No food items this time, but definitely will be back!

The place is narrow and can get loud. We were still able to talk at our table. The food menu is somewhat small. There are options for most tastes. I had the chicken Caesar. It was excellent and I highly recommend it. My wife had the fish and chips and was very happy with it. I do recommend finishing with the sticky toffee pudding. It was a great finish to the meal. Lots of options for cocktails and beers as well. Looking forward to going back
