Alyssa was a fantastic bartender and gave us some good insight on the menu and town. Food was tasty. Only thing I would say is that was off putting...they have a lot of out of stock items.

Quick and easy meal. Decent selection of options and sides.

I like the inside and outside dining available.

Update: can be busy and loud, but still has good food and is a good place to visit.

Chips and salsa are great. Tacos were average.

The chips and salsa are 4.7/5. Salsa was made fresh and the chips were light and crispy.

The tacos were all average. I didn’t care for the pickled onions on the smoked brisket taco.
