Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the chicken wings, which one Texan diner ranks among their top three ever and others call packed with flavor. Burgers come close behind, described as well cooked, not greasy, and topped with flavoursome sauces, cheeses and onions. Also mentioned are the macaroni and cheese, chili fries, nachos, hearty vegetable chowder, Caesar salad, and homemade cheesecake with ice cream. One reviewer rates the salads above the burgers, suggesting ordering large with extra chicken and bacon. The garden and outdoor seating draw repeated praise, and drinks and beers get a good word. Service is called friendly and efficient. Criticism is mild but specific. One reviewer found the hamburger average and said the fries need improving, and another disliked how close together the tables sit. One diner advises booking a table in advance, noting that several parties were turned away.
