Yikes! The weirdest and most unwelcoming experience I’ve ever had at a food establishment. We arrived on a Tuesday around 5:30pm. The counter to the left where you might see a hostess or other staff was unattended. So we continued waiting until someone approached us. We then initiated the interaction by asking if we seat ourselves and they responded with something snarky like, “that depends on you.” What does that even mean? I responded by saying, “doesn’t it depend on what’s available?” They gestured towards the tables as if to indicate “sit wherever.” We sat and waited and waited and waited some more and if it wasn’t obvious that it was our first time there when we didn’t know we seat ourselves, then how were we supposed to know that we order at the bar? If that was the case? The snarky person could have said something like “seat yourselves and when you’re ready, order at the bar.” Or if they prefer to not engage with new patrons, then put up a sign? Maybe. It doesn’t matter. We waited long enough and when no one came to our table to check on us, we left. We will not be back and we will not be recommending this place to friends or family.

Bald-headed guy (maybe the owner?) was not helpful when we went for our first time. We simply asked if we're supposed to seat ourselves and we never really got a straight answer. Felt more like a snippy retort. My sister-in-law went to school with this guy and she says he was a jerk in high school too. We waited for about 7-8 mins and it became very apparent no one was planning to take our order. Maybe we were supposed to order at the bar at which time we walked in the jerk owner could have let us know because it was very obvious we were clueless how this place operates. May be the "best burger" but we'll never know because we'll never go back. So voted by whom as the best burger is my question.

Best place to eat, drink and socialize with a good vibe and music not blasting so you can actually have a conversation with others.

This place is your classic hole in the wall. Located north of Brownsville in Alito, Texas on the side of the highway. It has been in the owners family for about 100 years. However, it started as a post office a bus stop and a general store. Now it is a chill spot to get good food with friends and have a variety of cold craft beers. Definitely worth checking out whether you’re a local or passing through. It is one several awards for their culinary offerings as well. It’s not your typical burger. For this visit, I had the turkey burger. As you can see in my picture. Along with onion rings and a full set up. Very tasty. Definitely come in and check out the flying peg the next time you’re in the area.

OMG! This is my new favorite bar. I live in Wisconsin and will make time to go back. Margaritas are made from scratch. Duck quesadilla, alligator taco and even a brussel sprout and sweet potato taco! Ribeye sandwich is phenomenal as well. It may take me 9-10 months but I will be back!! Make this a must stop on your trip, you won't regret it:)

When my husband and I first arrived, we were warmly greeted, and the service was exceptional. After our appetizer came, everything shifted. It was clear that a party was arriving in the other part of the restaurant. That would have been fine, but very soon the whole restaurant was consumed, a woman went behind the bar and refilled glasses of pop, and people were bringing up dirty dishes to the bar beside me. The bartender, and his other staff person, became so busy that we got “lost in the shuffle.” We find no fault with them because they were scrambling to keep up with the demand. We learned that the owners had a Wake, and these were the people from that service. That’s fine, but I would suggest that next time, close the bar for a private party. The “regular patrons” were not given the good service that your staff wants to provide, and we almost felt like we were intruding. What started out as a very enjoyable “date out,” ended very unfortunately. The burger was good, the cuban so so, and the beer tasty.
