| - This is one of those places I've had on my list for a long time. Finally, today a co-worker and I headed up there for lunch.
The parking at lunch is a little nightmarish. I finally squeezed into a space though and we went inside.
The decor has already been described by other reviewers--it's someone's idea of what a Texas themed restaurant should look like, with all sorts of license plates and other crap hung up on the walls. The inside is much smaller than I imagined it would be, but we were seated quickly by a friendly hostess so I can't complain about that.
We both had the chicken fried steak, which we had heard so much about. I thought it was okay. Not great, certainly not bad, but not really living up to the hype either. I loved the potatoes and gravy, though I have rarely met a mashed potato I didn't like. The corn was okay, and the biscuit was nothing great. That said, the price was good--$7.00 I think, and the portions were big. The service was friendly and fast.
If I worked closer to this place I would go for lunch from time to time. As it is now, I'll probably try it again to see how the barbecue rates, but that's about it. I wanted to like it better, and it was okay, but nothing special.
