I can’t rate the food. I can’t rate the service and really can’t rate the atmosphere because I WAS DENIED SERVICE. Why…. I have a service dog. I went early (about 4:30pm) with a guest. Upon entering, I was ignored by a server while the cashier stared at my dog with a disgusted look on her face. I tried to order…. She didn’t take my order opting to tell me to take a paper menu and go to a table. I had a polite conversation with a lady feeding her baby. After 20 minutes, we walked toward the counter only to witness the wait staff cracking jokes. We were the only customers in the restaurant so I can only interpret their actions as refusing to serve us. I am a disabled veteran. What a shame.

We had the smoked chicken, brisket, cheeseburger, and pork belly salad. They were all terrible and looked and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for days. The chicken was very dry. The brisket didn’t really look like brisket. Very bland. The pork belly salad was a ton of lettuce with barely any meat. The meat was great and dry and I could barely chew it. We are SO disappointed especially for the price!!!! The inside is cool and definitely good for kids but the food was so awful I couldn’t believe it.

We were in town and this restaurant had previously been recommended. The lady taking our order was very nice and helpful, and our food came out extremely quickly. For how quick it was it may have been the best ribs i have ever had. The Mac and Cheese was easily top 5 ever as well, which was a big surprise. This place made we wish I had one of these at home, in fact, i have been having dreams about the ribs.... and I have begun regretting not ordering an extra order to go of food. As i write this review i want to eat some. Also, there was a family in there and they were having a lot of fun with the games, an old school electronic fortune teller mining looking guy, and the jail cells around a couple tables.

Wow! These were the best ribs I've ever had! They were so tender and juicy, I didn't use any sauce at all. Sides were also delicious--beans, especially. Portions were generous, enough for lunch the next day. Only complaint (happy accident, actually) is that my husband ordered Mac n cheese and received macaroni salad instead. So I got half the salad, which was wonderful! It's one of the best values in Paso. We'll definitely be coming back!

Had the smoked chicken. Didn’t eat all of it for fear of getting sick as it didn’t look or taste cooked all the way through. Garlic fries come with Parmesan, which would be fine except I can’t have dairy and nowhere on the menu did it mention Parmesan. You should also beware of the hidden prices on the back side of the menu. One side of the menu lists some sides like salad and fries for a dollar more than the other side. When I asked about the higher charge, the staff acted like I should have read their mind and known which charge was correct. Pros: beans were good. Atmosphere is interesting. Tri-tip was pretty good. Salads were basic but good.

This was recommended by my boyfriend's mom, and wow it lives up to the hype 😀 Very happy with the service, I believe our server was Michelle. Love how the pork ribs melt off the bone, and the Mac n cheese that we ordered together. Will definitely come back another time to soak up the wonderfully eclectic atmosphere, as we were in a hurry for another event. By the way, Michelle said that they close at 9PM, not 8, and they've been meaning to update their hours especially on Google - just submitted my own edit to help them out 👍🏻
