I have been by here many times yet never stopped in. Today I gave it a shot, even after hearing very mediocre personal reviews.
The decor is very old-school and simple. The choice of green for the walls is interesting but bland. Those walls are decorated with ‘vintage’ product advertisements that provide a little something to peruse. The layout is a giant, undivided room with long, long tables covered in picnic red and white checker plastic.
The menu is simple and done in an old style as well. Point of note is that absolutely everything is a la carte.
One interesting thing is the person taking the oder wrote directly upside down on a paper sack (see pics) with pre-filled menu options. Unique touch.
They do have some old faves such as Frito Pie, chili, chicken bowls, hot and corn dogs, BLT, and grilled cheese. I do have to say, you have to respect them for selling my absolute favorite Blue Bell brand ice cream!
I went with the Texas Firecracker (includes bacon, jalapeño cream cheese, and habanero honey) and crinkle fries. I was wary of the cream cheese but interested in what kind of kick the habanero brings. My hunger level wasn’t high, so I went with the Jr size (1/4 lb). See the pictures, yep this thing is tiny. The cream cheese is indeed messy and a little overdone and the habanero didn’t really elevate any kind of heat. The crinkle fries, unfortunately were right out of a frozen sack and did not come with any seasoning of any kind. This combo barely satiated my admittedly meager appetite.
The music playing is an eclectic blend of classic old country, I mean Bob Wills and Keith Whitley type stuff.
While I won’t say that I disliked anything because it was palatable, this place brings nothing of interest and, man is it expensive for what you get. My tiny cheeseburger, crinkle fries, and water was just under $14. I didn’t even add anything to the burger, think about a soda, shake or dessert and it was this much.
There are far too many other enticing places to visit for taste and you will probably spend less. Turns out my friends were right.
