Seems like they just spin a wheel on your price? Get a menu!!! And prices to go with it! Y'all are not gold!!!f
intentionally misled us about the price and charged our credit card $195 for 4 people and no alcohol...read the thousands of reviews...all say the same. I used to come here all the time. I'm a police officer and knew Irma....I dont know why they think they need to do this, but it breaks my heart...I'm gonna have to report this to the Texas Attorney General...you have to provide an itemized receipt when asked by the customer and you can just charge what you want when it comes time...read full review
Our first time and definitely not our last! Greeted by Ray as soon as we walked in. He waited on us and kept the food coming. Even Ms Irma checked on us. We tried a little bit of everything and the food is just amazing!!! Bonus was parking our car there for Astros game. We will be back!!
