Stephanie HackneyApril 20, 2012You MUST come here for happy hour-great drink and appetizer prices. Always great service at the bar.
Allan LeungJune 7, 2013Crab cakes are DELICIOUS. Do not be fooled by the tiny looking portions. It really fills you up!
FredJuly 7, 2013Way too noisy, came here during the dinner rush and couldn't hear a damn thing. I would definitely come back again, food was amazing, but they need to wash the lettuce better for the salads.
Connie KJune 14, 2015Brunch here. Bloody Marys deliver stand up to their rep. Carrot cake French toast for dessert sharing, not the meal.
Lisa BoiceNovember 17, 2015Chef undercooked my steak, server agreed but he didn't offer to fix it. He said, "eh, sometimes they get it right and sometimes they don't."
Lovisa WilliamsMarch 13, 2012Cool retro modern dinner. Great prices and based on other reviews I expect the food to be good.
Jay PechekAugust 20, 2011Get the spicy Bloody Mary made with the pepper infused vodka. Perfect for getting rid of the shakes.
Pursarth TuladharDecember 27, 2012Do NOT leave this place without eating the carrot cake French toast.
- Brian HerschaftAugust 22, 2014Carrot Cake French Toast! Cinnamon vanilla egg batter with cream cheese-pecan syrup topped with a strawberry!
David WaldronSeptember 1, 2010The brownie desert--with cream cheese filling, ganache and mexican vanilla ice cream--is the best brownie dessert I've ever had!
Justin SSeptember 9, 2012Come on a UT game night. The wait is much shorter. BTW all I the food is AMAZING!!
Alejandro FloresJune 4, 2012The Cajun shrimp in cheesy grits was one of the most amazing dishes I've ever had.
They just bought an $18,000 juicer. Best OJ I've ever had.
Amanda WalsworthOctober 31, 2014Wild boar chilli when they put it back up! It has to get colder outside first.
AliceSeptember 27, 2012I wish I could time travel and eat their French toast again for the very first time. Please try it.
Bentley O'QuinnSeptember 16, 2011The tuna tar tar is amazing. Get it without japalenos if you don't like spice
Get steak migas and you can't go wrong. Add a Stella and then you're really talkin. This place is perfect
Stephanie SteinSeptember 19, 2011Get the remedy burger or the crab cake eggs benedict! Also, really nice friendly service!
Ask for the pork asada even when it isn't on the menu. It is that good.
Leah DayJuly 17, 2011Best crab cake beni in town! Soo good. Try the baked brie as an appetizer.. you'll crave it.
Caitlin JamesAugust 19, 2010Seared tuna salad is to die for along with the toffee brownie dessert. So scrumptious.

"The store has a big selection of boots leaning towards the higher price ranges, so take your time when choosing. They also have a good selection of cowboy hats."
