5 stars so far. This place models itself after 3 bar/restaurants in Dallas: Lee Harvey's (the 1st of its kind that I know of, then 2 bars there that modeled themselves after Lee Harvey's), Katy Trail Icehouse, and The Foundry.
All of those spots in Dallas are extremely popular for the same reason I enjoy this place. The only difference is that you can smoke in "The Yard" at all of those Dallas joints, but not here. Oh, and in Dallas only Lee Harvey's has outdoor fire, whereas The Yard does, but it's a natural gas fire, not wood like Lee Harvey's.
Anyway, I just ate the delicious black Muscles (for $12) that were really good (!), but not the best I've had. I'm a spoiled brat though.
