    Cup of chili...good on a cold day
    Jeff B.

    My first time here, and the menu is pretty much bar food, but tasty! I ordered 2 chili dogs and a cup of chili. I did enjoy my food. The hotdogs were large and filled with chili covered with cheese and onions! The chili had a good flavor and not spicy at all. We picked up a menu at the bar and found a seat to sit. After reviewing the menu we returned to the bar and ordered our food. When the food was ready, the bartender brought it to our table. The time was minimal. The bar is quite large with several big screen TVs showing various sporting events. There is a fairly ample sized parking lot and the bathroom was clean. A nice place to get a burger or a chili dog near the San Gabriel Park...see you there!

    Met family here by mistake. Lol They thought it was in downtown Georgetown but it was more in a residential area. They have a little parking lot and it's nicely built inside. They have plenty of seating some for community seating and others were for 4. TVs all around. You go up to the counter to order and they give you a buzzer for when your order is ready. I had a drink and the big smash. Hubby had the Frito Pie Smash Burger. The group had onion rings, fried cheese curds, Longhorn poppers and some nachos. The burgers were delicious! The starters were all good too but my fave was the cheese curds. I would recommend this place if you are in the area. if you like to watch your sports they got you covered.

    Such an awesome local Spot. First visit tonight and was very impressed. Staff was very welcoming and beer was ice cold. Chili cheese dog was delicious. Very clean and great decor with plenty of tvs and seating. Would highly recommend you visit the Thirsty Longhorn even though we're Aggies! Welcome to the neighborhood!

    Frito burger. Recommend getting an extra side of chili to dip it in

There were cookies and round rock donuts, then there were fruits and 2 types of pastas and broccoli with cranberry .

The buffet comes with pancakes or waffles. We were told for pancakes you have option of plain, blueberry or chocolate chip. I ordered chocolate chip and then found a charge of $1.50 for that on the bill. Would like to not have been offered that or be told there was a charge. Then they charged us for 4 adult buffets and that we got fixed because we had 2 kids under 12 with us.

It was the Fourth of July and mid-afternoon to boot - So they weren't as fully set up as they would be on a normal day. * * * CJ's is the food and drink operation of Mel's Bowling Alley. As a Bowling Alley, Mel's looks like it is first rate. The bowling alleys in Austin are fairly lame. This place had a million alleys, a large arcade, and some of the psychedelic ultraviolet-lit alleys that make modern bowling more interesting. As a place to throw strikes, spares and gutter balls, Mel's looks pretty good. * * * However the high quality of the bowling operation does not extend to the food operation. They have two primary bars/eating areas. It being the Fourth of July on "odd hours", one of the rooms was semi-closed. The room where they actually were serving customers was pretty gross. I went to sit at the bar, The bar at literally every single stool was filthy. There were old dishes that obviously had been sitting there for quite some time. Where there were no dishes, the bar was greasy with leftover food and spills. The tables were a little better but not by much. The bartender really didn't seem to care. She was chatting with a staffer. After the staffer left, she was just hanging out. * * * If a food establishment can not be counted on to clean the public areas, How can you be sure the kitchen is not filthy as well? I was out of there, to do my eating and drinking elsewhere. * * * If you go to Mel's to bowl, Check out the food areas before you order any food from your bowling lane. If they are as dirty then as they were on the day I visited, Finish your bowling and go to a more reliable place for your snacks.

That hint of chocolate bitterness sneaking in like it has secrets it's not ready to share. Strong, confident, and completely unbothered -- the kind of drink that doesn't raise its voice because it doesn't have to. No unnecessary frills. No overcomplicated theatrics. Just a perfectly crafted cocktail that respects tradition but adds a little dark, sultry wink. It lingers just long enough to make you lean in for another sip. 10/10. Grumpy never tasted so good -- and I wouldn't mind getting into trouble with it again. The bar itself? Classy without being stuffy. The kind of place where you can show up dressed up or dressed down and still feel like you belong. Dim lighting, great vibe, zero pretension. I'll absolutely be back, service was stellar. No food items this time, but definitely will be back!

Lunch special - 2 of 3 - select beers, slice of cheese or pepperoni pizza or house or Caesar salad. Also happy hour special was $1 off select items. Bartender initially took our order but then shift changed and another person took over. She was covering tables in another area. Salad and pizza delivered at the same time. Pizza slice was NY style - very thin and cold be folded up to eat vs knife and fork. Decent amount of pepperoni which was tasty. I prefer a crispy pizza crust so found this awkward to eat. Knife and fork provided. House Salad was just ok. Black olives, mushrooms, cucumbers, shredded mozzarella and croutons clustered on top and lettuce underneath. Salads obviously premade. Mushrooms were dried out and slices of cucumbers had shriveled edges. Greek salad looked better with fresher ingredients but wasn't included in the lunch special. There was more variety in the overall menu but didn't have time for a lengthy lunch stop. Second server worked with prices and lunch special offerings with us. Beer was $7-10 per pint glass so lunch special at $10.99 w select beers is a good deal. Not a priority to go back between parking hassle and food was just ok.

There are a number of large screen TVs throughout. You can also play shuffleboard here. The menu comes down to pub grub, but they have many sandwiches and pizzas to choose from as well as hot dogs and burgers. We'd like to have seen more in the way of apps and sides to order, though. Spinach pizza, recommended by our first waitress who also tends bar, was out of this world. Easily in the top 5 pizzas I've had lifetime. Thin crust was cooked perfectly and packed with fresh spinach, olives, and red onions. Our Mexican martinis were generous and spot on. As the game went into the second half we ordered a side of plain fries, which, while inexpensive, were a bit burnt and merely an adequate serving. We should have ordered two servings to share but found it harder than expected to pin our waiter down on the size of a single order. Another quibble was the service. Initially, our bartender took care of everything and she was outstanding. She handed off to a younger male server who was fairly inattentive unless we gestured for him. Then again, other patrons were ordering more drinks by the single rather than a round, so it was a busy day. They and their sister restaurant Mulligan's both charge a service fee for credit cards, so be ready for that nick. But, all in all, I could not have envisioned a better experience for what we had in mind. Definitely a keeper that has a good blend between restaurant and bar atmosphere. Highly recommended! P.S. You might think the place has something to do with baseball given the slightly off name but it appears to be about a beloved dog. There are also some clear ties to the Iowa State Cyclones visible on the walls.
