Dustin HaleyAugust 7, 2014Chicken fried chicken and mashed potatoes... And you have to sit outdoors!
J McJuly 3, 2014Must get Greune wing appetizer and save room for dessert . Strawberry shortcake or ML special!!!!
Michael DJuly 17, 2013O Rings are gigantic! Strawberry shortcake looked amazing and huge but we had no room left to eat it. Somebody get it and tell me how it is, pls
Lizzie SmithsonJanuary 15, 2012We had the poblano quesadillas and the bacon shrimp pasta and it was PHENOMENAL. The deck has an amazing view
Martha GarciaMarch 27, 2010Sit outdoors and soak in the atmosphere. I'm a fan of their grilled chicken sandwich and chicken salad sandwich. Also, if you want to indulge get the chicken fried chicken! It's fantastic!
Paige VaughnMarch 27, 2013Order the chicken poblano quesadillas as your meal and add onions rings! DELISH.
Al JimJune 3, 2013Great service, the fried "chicken" tastes amazing, and the ambience is pretty nice
Please remember that servers only make $2.13 an hour so you should tip accordingly!! Try the ribs they are to die for!!
Marshal GleasonAugust 9, 2014You can't go wrong with anything here. The place is amazing every time!
Awesome view from the upper deck. The german chocolate cake is great.
Athena ArmylagosJuly 16, 2013The tomatillo verde sauce is the bomb diggity!!! Chips and salsa all the way!
Nicole LackieDecember 3, 2012It's beautiful & so homey. Beautiful lights & the onion rings are wild!
The BEST ribs. Not on the menu but ask for them, you will not be disappointed
Joanne B.November 8, 2012Love this place - they're not on the regular menu, but the ribs are DELICIOUS.
Ramona BoytonJuly 22, 2015Looks like it's just as good as it was when I lived there in the '80s. I miss the great food.
Ryan&KarenMarch 9, 2017food, tastes good but no recipes that were out of ordinary great, average but the environment is fabulous! Cool ambience
Terri ReedJuly 9, 2019Y’all this place is fun and has character, but is it too much to ask for air conditioning in 2019?
Ryan WardMarch 28, 2011The ribs are a joke! So damn good it doesn't even seem possible. BBQ sauce is great, and green beans are the bomb!
Conrad HametnerAugust 25, 2011Try the Gruene Bros. ‘Best’ Wurst Falls City, Texas Polish Wedding Sausage, as an appetizer it is excellent!
Caitlyn KlementFebruary 11, 2012Great, and I mean GREAT chicken fried steak! Onion rings are awesome too!
Genna SpeedSeptember 1, 2014The onion rings and beef tenderloin sandwich are good, but everything is priced really high. The mixed drinks are not worth it. Stick with a bottled beer. Not worth coming back.
Justin BradyDecember 9, 2011The bone-in ribeye steak was DELICIOUS, as was the spinach artichoke dip!
Meagan SchexnayderMarch 2, 2016Shrimp Brochette was good, the bacon could have been cooked more though.
Get the onion rings as an app. They're so big you have to eat them with a fork and knife!
Heather MApril 20, 2013Dessert tip: The Fudge Pie is good, but misleading. It's basically a brownie, not like Fudge. Not my favorite, but it tasted good.
