Good BBQ...and I'm from Texas. Live music reminded me of Austin.
Chris IsaacAugust 13, 2011
If they have it, you MUST get the Cheddar Ale Soup and an Ape Hanger Ale. Pour a little of the Ape Hanger in and stir before eating :-)

If you are going to order the traditional sampler, do not eat appetizers or else you won't finish your food.
Ankush KaulJanuary 18, 2014
