We had the Iriahman Pizza, chips, and a Beer Cheese and Mushroom burger. The pizza is my wife's favorite, with tangy sauerkraut and a tasty, thin, well-toasted crust. My 18-year-old said the burger was pretty good, which is a resounding endorsement. The rock star of the meal was the chips and beer cheese. The cheese is delicious, and the chips are crisp, fresh, and strong enough to pair with a big scoop of cheese. The place has a super cool feel right from the start. We'll be back here again!

Big building with spacious dining areas, outdoor space, and the pickleball courts of course. There's also an upstairs area that's exclusively for members. The interior and exterior design is exceptional. Very clean and pleasing to the eye. Welcome to All - not just pickleballers! High end liquors with experienced mixologists. Great cocktail list. Wine list was pretty short but had some good bottles on it. Brunch food was good. The breakfast croissant sandwich was hard to handle and fell apart but tasty. The Southern Poutine was hearty and comforting (sausage in lieu of cheese curds) The bartender was exceptional-knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive. Would love to see a broader wine list with greater range. Was disappointed they didn't have the fireplaces on especially since it's been so cold. A nice fireplace would have really elevated the experience by adding a cozy atmosphere. Also, they have a fruit fly problem.

We had the Brussels sprouts, Tuscan flatbread, fried chicken sandwich, salmon entree, kids' chicken nuggets and the fried chicken salad. All were really good! Our server was nice but didn't seem to get what we needed in a timely manner. The place was not packed when we dined in, I would understand if she was slammed. Just wish the service was a bit better. All in all we would definitely try it again since the ambience was perfection and good food!

They play a good combination of country music, two step, half step, and a few waltzes thrown in. There is usually set or two of hip hop thrown in. Saturday night usually has live music and a cover. This can be good depending on what you are here for. Depending on the band - not as much dancing. I find the dance floor could use some TLC at this point, but overall, it's a great place to come and dance. Not the cheapest drinks, nor the most expensive. Standard beer selection, nothing in the way of craft or dark beers.

Air conditioning isn't working properly., basket ball arcades are both broken, and the woman's restrooms were hot and disgusting. And to make matters worse, the beer wasn't cold.

The inside of the brewing company has tables and often does live music or you can hang out at the bar in the air-conditioning but the majority of people at barrows are outside because Burrows also has a phenomenal massive concrete pad that has covered picnic tables and this is where the food trucks park. This is also where they do their live music on the weekends. From behind barrows, you can walk down to the creek, and this is where they have the ice cold natural spring that comes out of the ground. You are welcome to bring their beers down here and sit in the water or sit by the water and hang out and enjoy the creek. Depending on the day, there can be anything happening here from a farmers market to vendors to food trucks to music to dancing anything you can think of so definitely check out their Facebook page for the activities. Absolutely family friendly and there's usually tons of kids having a blast down here with their parents. We like the beer a lot and the staff is friendly and we end up here more than once every single time that we're in Salado, so don't skip it!

It has been open longer than I have been alive. This is a very local hang out with many very close regulars. But they don't bite.

I have not really ever figured that out. 3) There is nothing over $4 and there is a Thirsty Thursdays discount. 4) The jukebox plays everything but be careful what you pick! Some songs just shouldn't be played here. 5) There is one pool table and it does get used. 6) They do gladly accept cash but you can pay by credit card. 7) If you're looking for barbecue, it's a tan building to the right of Honeycutt's as you're looking in from Airport. 8) You can eat your barbecue here. But you still have to go get it yourself, lazy. 9) Don't piss off the owner or the bartender. If you don't know. You better ask somebody! Or just try it out!
