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.

Solid pub at the corner of Lavaca and 4th - I stopped by on my last evening in town…read more The place was almost empty - I sat at the bar and chatted with the two bartenders, ordering a pint of Guinness on tap and a hot pastrami sandwich with a side of Caesar salad. Both hit the spot! While I was enjoying my food, a large group of young folks showed up with candles and cake for the lady bartender (it was her birthday!). I sang the happy birthday song along with them, to her embarrassment! It was a memorable way to end a nice meal!

I've been looking for a good authentic pub in Central TX but unfortunately have not found it yet…read more We went in on a Sunday afternoon. It was not busy. Service was good and friendly. There's a good variety of beer/liquor. Food was meh. The batter on the fish and chips wasn't great - it was thick rather than crispy and flaky. And it was one giant piece of fish shaped like a log. Comes with ketchup, tartar sauce, and mushy peas. We had to request vinegar. I was looking forward to the peas but they were awful. They had an odd flavor to them that I couldn't pinpoint. The shepherds pie was also just ok. It was mostly meat and I don't think it's made with fresh potato (seemed like boxed potatoes). It honestly reminded me of a Stouffers meal. The inside was neat and clean yet cozy and pub-like. I'd return for a pint but not for the grub.

A bit of a letdown considering they were featured on Kitchen Nightmares…read more Unfortunately, none of the dishes impressed us. The scotch egg was cooked well in that it had a crispy exterior and soft boiled center, but the outer layer was very bland. The burger was a greasy, saucy mess and weirdly, the sauce did nothing to add to or complement the flavor. The shepherd's pie was probably the best of the three but that's not saying much as I don't think it's that difficult to make - the mash was ok and the meat component tasted one note. Service was extremely friendly and on point. We were helped right away and checked in on several times, so many kudos to the waitstaff! The overall vibe gave "sleek pub" and felt very cozy as a nice casual hang out spot.
