Incredible service across the board and at every level. Busboy, waitress, host were all on their A game. Just a friendly atmosphere and everyone working as a team to make your dining experience great. Highly recommend. And that Texas margarita is nothing to play with. If you are not ready to have your eyes crossing after 4 sips, leave that thing alone.

1st visit there, and I think I stayed quiet the whole time I was eating. It was told to me to come up for air!! Lol. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about the food and the experience. The service was great and I'm sure I'll be back again.

The restaurant is very cozy with a lot of seating. Big plus is that they have complimentary valet parking.

As for food, it’s on the heavy side as with most Southern restaurants. The margaritas are a must try. I would recommend the owner/chef not serve fried food on top of mashed potatoes, like the Agave Fried Chicken for example. You put so much work to get a fried crispy part, only for it to get soggy when sitting on a mashed potatoes or another side.
