So many businesses have passed thru this little place, including a few
Keepers, like Big Kahuna's and now The Fixin' to is looking to join the rank of winner's circle. I enjoyed the laid-back, chill-as-hell vibe, the uttterly un-pretentious service and presentation, the fact that patrons aren't too cool to watch a freakin' ball game, like some places, where they wouldn't dare even play ESPN for fear of disapproval from the hoi-poloi trendy girls and bois....
The courtyard is small, cozy, familiar, not sloppy nor an obvious afterthought. In warmer weather I'd certainly join friends out @ one of the picnic tables and enjoy the evening from there...
The Frito pie @ Fixin' to Rox my Sox; their pulled pork also is super tender and tasty. The mixed drinks aren't exactly cheap, but come from creative, fun minds (Robert Van Winkle, Vacation bible school! Tons of fun!) I don't know if The Fixin' To is still in search of an identity per se, but it's apparent that they're comofortable in their skin there, and it shows; the patrons as a result have a much easier time be comfortable as a result. And that's what it should be all about, non? Continue your winning ways, Fixin' to, and future poets and muses might sing your praises across the ages....until then, thank goodness we have the always trusty and decidedly "un-wack, sucka-free" Mr. Winkle to carry the load:
"Deadly! When I play a dope melody, anything less than the best is a felony...."
