This time around I shared the ATX Dirty Quesadilla with my husband. It's really good. It has a lot of flavor packed into one bite. It came with a dipping sauce which added to the flavor but you didn't necessarily need it. My husband also liked it. For my meal I ordered the Reapers Revenge Chicken Sandwich. It's a crispy piece of chicken with coleslaw and pickles. It's very good. It was slightly spicy but it had enough spice that you could taste. I ordered my sandwich with a side of Parmesan Fries. The fries were okay. They were thick and soft and not the kind of fries I prefer but they were okay. The parmesan had no flavor and had cooled making it crispy making the cheese easy to pull off of the fries. So I pulled off the cheese and ate the fries with ketchup. My husband got tater tots as his side. They were actually pretty good. Crispy exterior filled with potato and yummy with ketchup. Overall Satellite has a quick and easy ordering and pickup process and the food is okay.

My first job that took me down the path as a chef for a few years started at a hole in the wall…read morecalled Acme Bar & Grill in Mt. Pleasant SC, so I'm familiar with a low brow affair. On one hot Saturday afternoon I was looking to change things up a bit so google suggested Giddy Ups. I will confess driving up I was a bit apprehensive as it felt like a hole in the wall of a hole in the wall in the middle of nowhere. Upon arriving one will notice the parking lot is extremely worn with minimum upkeep while the facility wasn't that much fancier. Walking in you can feel the history and life. Everything is rustic and rudimentary as if the place was bought for pennies on the dollar. The outside has old fashioned 2x4 overhang with old plain wood columns, a huge red and obnoxious store front (but in a good way) and a tacked-on sheet metal shed. Inside, a half mannequin here, a thousand local artists in picture frames there all with dive bar tables and chairs make up the main area. Oh, there's a stage too if one can call what amounts to a step as a stage. The staff here are humble and nice. As for alcoholic beverages, if they got it, they're gonna make it for you. However, be warned the selection is limited, keeping in step with the bare bones mentality. Speaking of drinks, they're extremely affordable. I enjoyed my bourbon and diet coke just the same here as anywhere else while paying a fraction of what other places charge. In the side attachment or "shed" they have a number of games. One gripe I have is that they have the most disgusting bathrooms I've seen in years. No more elaboration needed. So what are my final thoughts? Giddy Ups is grass roots, simple but not for everyone. I like it and like the vibe but in my vast list of places to visit I just can't justify coming back especially if I'm looking to impress a date. It's not a bad place at all, just not my flavor.

Our extended family decided to go on Friday. There were 14 of us in all. The staff were very…read morefriendly and worked with us so that we could purchase a 'package' and divide it among the 14. There was a variety of games from 'old school' to newer games and there was plenty for every age. All of the games except one were working, which is better than most of these types of places. My grandson played the Willy Wonka 'coin' game and managed to get all nine character cards and a golden ticket card which is a big deal. The few who get this have their picture taken and placed in the machine - a 'wall of fame' so to speak. When we asked the staff to add his picture they said they were out of film. We offered to purchase some (Polaroid) and they initially declined saying they couldn't 'accept' it. After having a good discussion with the manager, they agreed that if we went to Walmart to get film, they would take the picture and post it, which all occurred. Not sure how they 'ran out of' film, but aside from that, all went well. Folks who aren't grandparents won't likely understand what grandparents will do for grandkids!
