Found this place in this little country town. The place is ear catching for certain. Miss Hattie reminds me of the lady from Despicable Me..however, this is nothing like that movie.
Upon entering, the place seems quite empty, but we were asked if we wanted a seat in main dining or bar area. I was told the bar area was lively with music and more people. So the bar is what I chose. A saxophone player cane in and played excellent jazzy tunes of old. Very nice! Prior to his arrival there was nice jazzy ambient music being played.
The servers were quite busy tending to the people in the area, however my water cup was refilled as soon as my server came by and saw it was enpty. The day was quite hot, but the air conditioning was able to keep up and the fans in the room were able to circulate the air well. I am a California girl in hot humid Texas and I was very comfortable.
Food time! Onion rings to start. My hubby has been in search of good onion rings, these onion rings are among the best we have tried. Salad, it is a basic salad with fresh ingredients and a honey mustard dressing that has a zing! Buyer beware, it is mustard, truly, not that wanna be mustard that is grocery store honey mustard. Main dish time! Chicken fried steak is tasty, milk gravy is on par, just like how my momma made it. Veggies are not overly cooked. Mashed potatoes are creamy. The actual meat did have some bites which my husband had difficult with and needed to get rid of. My meatloaf was very yummy! I had the same mashed potatoes and veggies and I really enjoyed the mix.
Service was really good. People were hospitable. Aesthetics were super fun and cool. Reminded me of a saloon from a western movie, just needs a card game.
I have to say the pricing varies. They have pricing for every wallet, if you want to spend big, you can at over $30 close to $40 for an aged steak, or if your funds are meager, you can save with a $15 plate. My cocktail was $7.50 and even better was my husband's $9 onion rings. So fear not the fancy decor and live music. You can choose affordable dishes.
I would highly recommend this place. If I lived here, I would definitely be coming back!
