Had sort of a roadhouse feel to it, and definitely got busy as the lunch hour progressed. Had a couple beers, the brisket Philly, a frito pie and side of Mac and cheese. Really wanted the brisket queso too, but chickened out as I already ordered quite a bit. Will get it next time though, the brisket in the Philly was delicious. Entered a raffle with an older couple for a pistol on the way out, which I wasn't expecting, but as the elderly gentlemen said, one can never have too many firearms. Fingers crossed I guess lol all around a fun stop for lunch.

If you are in a hurry, you may want to reconsider. It took a few mins to get a table but no big deal. Then it took several mins to get waited on. I didn't even look at a menu and ordered a chz burger and onion rings and tea. Didn't want to risk the waitress not coming back for a while. And she wasn't being lazy, they were just slammed busy. She did say "it's like this everyday " So you're wondering why the 5 stars. The food. Actually the burger. It was one of the best I've ever had. Reminds me those old side of the road diners that cooked everything on a big grill burger. A little greasy, lots of flavor. Just flat good. And as for timing, I do get here at 12:30. By 1:00, it had thinned out.

We had been drinking beer, so I stuck to beer except for an old fashioned (which was excellent and used Buffalo Trace). They also have an awesome selection of draft beers. I had a Live Oak Hefeweizen which was excellent. Service was excellent both at the restaurant and the attached pizza area. Since we had been drinking a while, we decided to have pizza at the shop attached to the bar. They have a nice pizza oven and this was excellent. I forget the name, but it has a nice thin crust with great cheese and topped with sausage and mushrooms. It really hit the spot Definitely worth a visit, distinct from many of the other bars around.

I'm not often as impressed as I am by Rough Draught. Awesome, awesome selection. Good people who enjoy talking whiskey. The interior and decoration and walls - it all just GOES. It's perfect. Sadly they were out of a key ingredient or two to make pizza when we were there - during Thanksgiving week, so... not "normal" timing - so we sadly could not try their pizza. But we enjoyed multiple great pours, some good cocktails, great conversation, and exploring all of the details in the decor. A staple for any visit I'll be making to College Station and Aggieland.

This place... is great

The food is good also. The queso is excellent, although they can be cheap in filling the bowl up. The cheeseburger is very good, with good hand cut fries. Recently the fries were warm but not fresh and hot. I also don't understand why they don't give us a bottle of ketchup with the meal. Instead, they give one little cup, which isn't nearly enough, and good luck getting the servers to bring you more. I had to go to the bar to get them. That's very cheap and annoying. Generally, the service is ok, and the ambience perfect for a neighborhood bar.

I have lived in many cities and I can never find other shot bars, which leads me to believe these people are geniuses. One group of 5 walks in and within 10 minutes, they've dropped $60 in shots, easy. Here's how it all works: you go in the front or back door, belly up to the bar, order your first round of shots. You meander down the bar a little, belly up again and order your second round. This proceeds until you're at the end and proceed out the other door and on to the next place (after playing in bottle cap alley). I miss this place. It's dingy, it's small, it's Texas and it's perfect. Even the bartenders are nice. Do yourself a favor and stop by! The Chocolate Cake shot is always one of my favorites.

On my last trip to Bryan a family member wanted to have his birthday lunch here. I'm in! Let people say what they might about Chicken Oil, but the fact of the matter is at lunch, the parking lot was full and there was a line waiting to order. Can't be too bad huh? The decor? Well, as before, there's almost no open spot on the walls. Very rustic with a comfortable feel. They also have a great outdoor patio. Looks like a great place for a party! Their burgers were what I remembered the most, so that's what I went with. They also had great looking chicken and chicken-fried-steak country baskets as well as shrimp baskets and sandwiches. Everything our group had was pleasing. There were definitely no complaints from any of us. Yep, I will be back! Chicken Oil is the perfect place to get a bite to eat and socialize with friends and family. I love the atmosphere!

Food wise, we had lots of fries as we didn't know it came with our meals. I had chicken fried steak and it was one of the smallest portion ever had.

Sure, it's a little cramped, chaotic, and noisy... but that's part of its character and the experience. You can sit inside in one of two main areas or on the patio out front and there's seating out back The servers are friendly and professional. The food and drinks are solid. Nothing overly fancy, but it'll hit the spot. There's a couple bars to order from, and you can order food towards the back of the bar Some tips: Order a pitcher and share with your friends. If you're in the mood, consider doing a bit of bar hopping as this areas boasts a number of fun bars ranging from Irish pubs, dive bars, sake bars, whiskey bars, etc Also, if you're not too scared, venture to the back room and on the southeast wall there is a snake inclosure that has a live rattlesnake. It's been there for almost a couple decades now Cheers!

We peddled for a few blocks then stopped at two bars in Midtown. Overall this experience was great! Thanks Joshua! :-)

I had the opportunity to try the Pedal Party over the weekend with some family and friends. We had…read morean absolute blast. I would say that 90% of making this an enjoyable experience falls within the people you choose to ride with, as well as preparation. We were a group of 15 people, everyone over 21. It's BYOB, so make sure you bring a cooler with CANNED beverages or/and plastic bottles of water. Pros - - You get to play your own music - You choose where to make your stops - There's no limit on how long you take at each stop - They provide Koozies for your drinks Cons - - I'm order to get the bike to move, everyone has to pedal (It's a 2200 lbs bike). There are a few seats above the tires and a bench at the rear that don't require those passengers to pedal, everyone else will have to put work in. So this would mean, you have to make sure you ride with ENOUGH people who can REACH the pedals and who won't get tire TOO quickly. You don't travel far with these bikes but it does require a substantial amount of leg strength to pedal. - You will be on the street, meaning you might or might not catch traffic, depends on the location and the time of your reservation so do your research. NOTE - everyone who is riding must arrive at least 40-30 mins ahead of appointment to get started with paper work. You have to fill out about two sheets of paper. This was a 5 star experience for me. Our driver Zach was beyond amazing with us. He is funny, respectful, punctual, professional with his work, and supper down to earth. If it's your first time trying the Pedal Party, make sure you ask for Zach as your driver, you won't regret it. I hope you find this review helpful in choosing this experience.
