“Went here for the first time to dance to a band I like, that I have only heard once before. A local dance partner went with me, and we met up with other friends. Friendly staff, and patrons as well. It was a great night of dancing to a good band, and at a place with over 100 years history. Ahh, if only the walls could talk! And yes, I survived the staircase!“
“My husband and I always try go here for a drink when we are in the Temple area. Always a great atmosphere, great wine and great service. Occasionally we run into the owner, Jett, and strike up some good conversation. Definitely 5 stars. I must visit if you are in the Temple area.“
“Great place for Honky Tonkin... pool, bar, golf game with AMI juke box you can play from your phone or the box! Easy access from I-35. Restaurants and a motel are very close should you decide you'd better stay than drive because you had such a fantastic time.“
“For my 500th review, I present to you my favorite hang out in Central Texas that is next to my favorite barbecue spot in Central Texas. This is a family run establishment. It has been open longer than I have been alive. This is a very local hang out with many very close regulars. But they don't bite. As I am moderately amused by most things in life, I like the chill ambiance. Rustic with operational doors, soap dispenser and hand towel machine for the ladies restroom. Yes, that's a big deal. Things to know: 1) Beer only but.... 2) BYOLiquor and get charged a fee for it? Or there's soft drinks you can purchase? I have not really ever figured that out. 3) There is nothing over $4 and there is a Thirsty Thursdays discount. 4) The jukebox plays everything but be careful what you pick! Some songs just shouldn't be played here. 5) There is one pool table and it does get used. 6) They do gladly accept cash but you can pay by credit card. 7) If you're looking for barbecue, it's a tan building to the right of Honeycutt's as you're looking in from Airport. 8) You can eat your barbecue here. But you still have to go get it yourself, lazy. 9) Don't piss off the owner or the bartender. If you don't know. You better ask somebody! Or just try it out!“
“Met a group of 20+ of my highschool classmates on a Friday for lunch. Parking was not a problem and there was plenty of room inside as well as outside seating of desired.We really enjoyed our time together!Our single waitress did an awesome job taking our orders and keeping our glasses full. We received our orders in an appropriate amount of time for such a big group. Everyone enjoyed their meal. I must see that my Philly Cheese Steak was awesome, one of the best! My husband had a grilled chicken place which he also enjoyed.“
“Was in the Temple area today on business around lunchtime. I Googled “best restaurants in Temple” and Oscar Store popped up with the reviews stating “best chicken fried steak hands down”. Well, that’s a mighty bold claim I’ve heard MANY times before, and I’ve literally tried them all over Texas. I wanted to check out this mythical place for myself. I got the CFS plate with mashed potatoes and fried okra. Holy Cow!! It didn’t disappoint!Chicken Fried Steak Plate 9/10 - the meat was a thicker cut than most. I personally don’t like the beat to death, paper thin sliver that’s all crust. This my friends was a CFS with substance. The meat was seasoned well. The batter was crispy and well flavored. The gravy was above average and very good. I really enjoyed it!Mashed Potatoes 8/10 - good consistency and texture. The flavor and overall vibe of the potatoes was they were homemade. Gravy was same as CFS.Fried Okra 6/10 - nothing special here. Seemed like run of the mill frozen okra. They were still good though.Roll 9/10 - not sure what kind of roll they put in the plate, but it sure was good. Almost seemed like a honey butter flavored roll?Service 9/10 - everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. Can’t say enough about the small town hospitality! Thank y’all!Atmosphere 8/10 - old building with rustic charm. I think it was built in 1932 originally. Lots of cool items inside and out.Overall 9/10 - highly recommend you try it out if you’re in the area. Heck, we might road trip from NB to try it again! It’s worth it!!“
“Wheelchair accessibility: It is accessible by wheel chair. It isn't very convenient though, because the bar is basically divided into two sections.You can access both sections via wheelchair, but only from the outside. There is no ramp accessible inside.“
“I didn’t get her name. Last night we had our car towed. We are a family of six. We had four children sitting on the sidewalk in the cold while we tried to figure out how we were supposed to get our car. This lady bartending from across the street came over to let us know who had towed our car, when they took it, and that we were welcome to come inside with all of our kids to get warm until we figured things out. After realizing we were going to need an Uber we went inside to wait. The kind lady ask our kids if they wanted any chips or something to drink. She also went on to ask if we needed any help paying for our tow because she had two kids of her own and understands how hard it can be. She was willing to cash app complete strangers!!! Though we were able to pay for it on our own I just wanted to give her a review. The kindness she showed covered up everything bad that happened last night. We talked to a really rude lady from the tow company and were treated terribly but after getting our car back and headed home we couldn’t help but go back to the lady that was kind and helpful. Thank you very much for reminding me that there are still good people in this crazy world we live in today. Our children never missed a beat. They’ve never been to a bar before lol but they enjoyed the light up floors. Thank you again to that lady and I pray God blesses you beyond measure for the kindness you showed my family. He’s real and you’re just another reason I know he is.“
“Amazing cocktails that were created by the Bartenders that serve you. Came here for the first time and was impressed by the quality of the drinks, the presentation and the service. Austin and Aubree are a great team and this area is blessed to have them. I will definitely be back!“
