    Low quality stamp that got my group and I kicked out after waiting.

    I've never had an issue with The Backyard before tonight. I was with a group of 8 people and we all had our hand stamped at the front entrance. The photo shows the qualify of the stamps. My group and I were kicked out because we did not have stamps that were identifiable. We waited in line for 20 minutes to be kicked out of the bar. :(

    Good place to hang out but the bartender can be a little rude and so can the bouncers to enter the place.

    By far the best bar on Northgate, good drink specials and plenty of activities such as cornhole, washers, giant beer pong and lots of others.

    My husband and I frequent the Tilted Pint because it's local, the beers cold, the atmosphere is fun…read moreand we just loved everything about it. Great salads! They used to have, two + years ago, really good cheese curds. I felt ad though I was in Wisconsin! These past couple years the quality has gone down. Our last visit we ordered them and they were BAD. My husband ordered the catfish and I had their chicken wings. And I hate to say this, but it was the worst meal we've had there. It ruined our usual great experience. We will give them another try before we are forced to find a new local hangout.

    The Tilted Pint is a cute little pub, but I would say that my experience here was just alright…read more Honestly, the best part of this place was the other customers -- everyone was really nice and fun to chat with. Ambiance: The inside is very small, and there was hardly any available seating, but we managed to grab the last two open seats. The staff wasn't great -- it was surprisingly hard to flag someone down even though the place is so small. Service felt a bit slow and inattentive. Flatbread Pizza: The cheese on the pizza wasn't very good, and the crust had an off putting burnt taste to it. Overall, there was just something not right about the pizza -- it didn't feel fresh or well-made. Definitely wouldn't recommend it. Sunset Martini: The drink was just okay. It was pretty sweet, with a very strong coconut flavor that reminded me of Ocean Water from Sonic. It pretty much tasted like OJ and coconut, and nothing really stood out about it.

    Today, ate at Chicken Oil Company. They were amazing growing up! Wow how they went downhill!…read more Koppe Bridge is what Chicken Oil use to be. You place your order, they make your burger and it goes from the grill to the bun. Nice and greasy like it should be. Chicken Oil has become so packed you can't move. The burgers have become an assembly line. They cook 10-20 and toss them in a pan where they sit until it's moved down the line. Dry & cold. Koppe Bridge has a wonderful atmosphere. Old school country music playing. Creaky wooden floors. The one thing I CAN give the edge to Chicken Oil is the friendly and helpful staff! Because honestly..I've eaten at Koppe numerous times and literally every single time, the girls in the front are essentially snotty Sorority-type girls. Always different girls but always the same type. (Rude, eye rolls, zero friendly customer service). Maybe they need to hire staff based on personality and not how cute they are.

    This is an icon amongst the students of Texas A&M. This is the favoriate amongst many of the…read morecollege crowd because it is a great place, great food, and get a value for your money. I've had their burgers so many times that it should be rated on Texas Monthly. They are great. This time I changed it up and went with the chicken friend steak sandwich basket. The parking seems small, but just circle around. Whatever side you come on, go to the "back" and you'll find room. When you come in go straight to the cash registers and place your order/state your name. Grab your drinks and find a seat. Pay attention because when the guy screams your name into the cheap-axst speaker system, you might loose it. Consider it an audiology exam. If you come in with a parent that was on Peanuts, they will understand the PA perfectly. Everyone else takes their chances. With the basket you get a PILE of bar fries. They are great and there's a mountain of them. This alone should lure you in. I went with the chicket fried steak sandwich. Very tasty, but for some reason I thought it would come with gravy. Nope. If that changes your impression of a chicken fried steak, you may want to pass. I just covered it in ketchup and enjoyed the change up. Pro-Tip: Don't even try to come here on game days.
