    I am a frequent blood donor and on the days that I donate, I always have steak & spinach. I was in Dallas and I thought I'd try a new restaurant. The diner is small & cute. They were t very busy for a Wednesday. When my plate arrived I was taken back with the small amount of spinach, but the steak looked good, but was sadly over done. What really ruined my lunch was the cold hash browns. What a bummer.

    Came here in the morning looking for a quality breakfast experience and was definitely left satisfied! The service here was great and the ambience, especially if you're from Dallas, was awesome. They have plenty of memorabilia to gaze upon from Dallas sports teams to John Wayne. They really do have a little bit of everything. Their menu is exciting and fun to look through as they have tons of breakfast options to pick from. The names of some of their dishes are interesting too as one is literally named after John Wayne himself. I had the corn beef and hash with eggs over easy. It also came with hash browns and a choice of grits, toast, or English muffins. Overall, I definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice hole in the wall breakfast joint in the Lakewood area of Dallas!

    This place is like a Texas version of Luke's Diner from the Gilmore Girls. It's homey, loved by the community and the food speaks for itself I ordered the chicken fried steak. It was perfectly seasoned. The gravy was very tasty. I didn't order coffee but my friends did and the staff was very attentive when it came to refills. If ever in Dallas, I'll be sure to come back. Thank you for the energy boost Goldrush!

    Club and tots.  Real food from 1985.

Could barely hear the person next to me because we were seated next to a party of 10+ people. It may have been best to reserve that area just for them and have us seated elsewhere but no biggie. I was celebrating my birthday here since I've heard great things about the food choices. I ordered shrimp tacos, my family got fajitas and it was pretty decent. Towards the end of dinner, our server was super attentive and brought out a shareable dessert. I believe it was a churro cheesecake which was delicious.

The service here was great on my visit. The atmosphere, albeit a little crowded, was comfy. As I do with my first visit at any Tex-Mex joint, I order the combo plate. I was very pleased with it here. The taco was crunchy with nicely seasoned (non-greasy) ground beef and lettuce and cheese served on the side (I told them no tomatoes). The tamale had a wonderful brisket-like filling, although there was a little too much masa for me. The cheese enchilada was filled with actual cheese, which is a good (if not rare) thing these days. The chili con carne topping was wonderful, as was the rice -- which is among the most perfectly cooked that I have ever experienced in a Tex-Mex joint. The refried beans were run-of-the mill. I must say that the enchilada tortillas are firmer than most. Not necessarily bad, but they definitely don't par-fry these things before rolling. I tend to judge Tex-Mex joints by their salsa. If it's served warm, I take points off the board. This stuff is served ice-cold and has a wonderful bite. Bottom line: If I lived here, I'd be a regular. Excellent Tex-Mex.
