Came here to see a live acoustic performance for Danny Sharpe and Jackson James. Great performance (5 out of 5 stars) Upon arrival I had to find my own seating and wait awhile to actually get a server. Server was forgetful on several of the things that were requested. Also the menu is outdated and many of the things we all wanted were no longer being sold. The alcoholic drinks were very weak and the food was bland and cold. Honestly, I came just for the live music and the music was great. It seemed like I was the only one tipping the awesome performers and to be completely honest, I would have rather given the money I spent on food and drinks to them. The back porch has many live performances it seemed liked almost every week. I would come back for only the live music and to have a couple beers while supporting local talent. I would not order any mixed drinks or food.

Live Acoustic performance with Danny shape and Jackson James from east texas brought me here, (10/10) performance! Upon arrival I had to find my way to a table (open seating) without any staff assistance. When I finally found an open table a server approached and he was very friendly and attentive ! Many of the items on the menu were no longer available due to an outdated menu. I struggled finding what to order. Food was cold and flavorless. Unfortunately I ended up ordering a quesadilla and it was bland, Cheese had no taste and chicken no flavor. My blended drink was all ice and sadly my fountain soda was flat as well. This is a good place for drinks and live entertainment. Big open space, friendly for large groups or families. Their large screens are very cool too for game nights.

Hadn't been here in about 25 yrs and it's still as great if not better than it was then. They've expanded the space and now have live bands. When I saw they had fried green tomato's that's all I needed to see, I was sold. My fiancé ordered a cheeseburger and couldn't even finish it, it was huge and that man can eat! The service was good and the place was spectacular.

My son ordered a steak they were out of steak. My fries were cold. When we walked in the host were bickering and seated us when they were done having their moment. Our waitress was sweet. ?‍♀️ a lot of hype for this place. It was quite the let down for my family.

Good food and friendly staff. Not overcrowded. Free wi-fi a plus. Food portions are good. I was pleasantly surprised. My wife was being random today and drove to Kilgore. Found this place on Yelp. Excellent spot to have a quiet meal on my daughter's birthday. Would definitely come back.

Beans are way better ! Need to bring back the free hush puppies and put texas toothpicks pack on the menu ! Food overall good . Need to lower price for onion rings and hush puppies $10 is crazy for a side but food is worth it

The food has really gone downhill under new ownership. We go less frequent and still rarely walk away having had a meal worth paying for…. Service is often slow and fries are almost always terrible… except the curly fries which were out of stock today. Sweet potato fires were cold and rubbery. They tasted reheated. Didn’t bother to eat them.

Took 5 minutes to get waited on, to another 20+ minutes to get our order was told everything was made fresh at time of order. 1 burger was way over cooked and lukewarm, fries not fresh2nd Burger lukewarm, fries not fresh. Complained to waiter she said I noticed burger #1 was overcooked offered no resolution? $20 plus for this will not return!

Have eaten here a couple of different times, and both times requested a rare burger and received a well done. They don't seem to care that it was correct.
