My husband and I have been here numerous times, always sitting at the bar, enjoying great food,…read morecocktails, and an awesome experience with the staff. It's always been one of our favorite spots. Unfortunately, today's experience with my in-laws was a completely different story. We sat in the dining room, which had maybe four tables occupied. Our server asked for our order before we even had water on the table. After we ordered drinks, he continued pushing us to order food. We explained that we weren't in a rush, but the pressure continued. Once our food arrived, our server never checked in to see how everything was. My father-in-law's burger was overcooked, and the overall service left a lot to be desired. It's disappointing because we've always had such a great time here. **If we return, we'll stick to the bar.** The bartenders and bar staff have consistently made our visits enjoyable, but unfortunately, the dining room service really put a damper on today's experience.

There's a consistent schedule of live bands playing, and they never have a cover charge. Affordable drinks prices. Moderately priced food, this place is mainly good for the basics like wings, pizza & fried appetizers. Super casual spot for a night time hangout - just be prepared for the music to be *very loud* if you sit indoors during a rock band. Each food item on our bill also came out to a few dollars more than the prices on their website menu (i.e. got charged $19.95 for the Sampler Platter appetizer, when the online menu says $16.95, and got charged $13.95 for the dozen wings when online menu says $11.95). Didn't notice this until the next day, and we can't remember if the printed menu pricing in-person was correct & matches the receipt, or if it was also lower prices that match the online menu (which would be disappointing). Will definitely be highly aware of that if we visit again.

We ended up going for a family Sunday lunch and now we go here instead of Longhorn. My parents are picky and they liked it.

It was one chicken tender chunk that wasn't cut in tortilla that had no chili flavoring, the meat was tough, the tortillas stuck to the paper, so they're falling apart. The pineapple salsa was bland and flavorless - the pineapple was hard and not ripe. The "avocado crema" was a generic sauce. The rice and beans was a tiny portion with almost no beans. Husband got the bar pie that was pretty okay but we got overcharged for it. Thankfully we noticed it on the bill but the waitress overcharged us and our friends for their pizzas by putting in the wrong kind. Thankfully we caught it but otherwise would have paid significantly more.
