It was kind of hit and miss at this funky little western themed place. For those that are not interested in waiting for the perpetually long wait list at TX Roadhouse there on restaurant row on 83rd, this is a great alternative. You can still play cowboy and have good food without the wait.
THE PROS:
Easier to get into than the other places if you're at prime dinner time on 83rd Ave. And there is ample parking (also a contrast to the prime strip of places on 83rd
REALLY good drinks and a very liberal happy hour (even on Saturdays!!) Nice assortment of drinks too, they have a "hand crafted moonshine" drink menu. I got the Pineapple Express and was not disappointed.
Nice outdoor sitting area with some couches if you just want to have some drinks and munchies
The food I tried was good. Little pulled pork sliders and the spicy mac 'n cheese
If you're into fun and western decor, be sure to check out the bathrooms with their wash bucket sinks and stall door locks that are actually barn stall locks... kinda cute details.
THE CONS:
When we first got there it was pretty early and the service was great. After the place started to pick up a little the service seemed to suffer. The first half of our experience was a vastly different customer service experience than the second half. We almost gave up on getting our dessert, it just took SOOOOOO long. And it was one of those things that is a brownie in the skillet and it is suppose to be a little gooey on the inside... As it turned out, it was completely raw inside - which was rather surprising considering how long we waited for it.
My hope is that this was just an issue of being newly opened and that they will get in the groove and the busy hours won't trip them up.
I will defiantly give it another try. Aside from our dessert, it was all very good. Friendly wait staff too.
