“This place is delicious!! I got the Brisket Bowl and it was absolutely amazing! Brisket, sausage, beans, Fritos, and cheese…a perfect combination. The homemade ranch and banana pudding were to die for!! The stuff was super friendly and the restaurant was very clean. The close when the food runs out so better go for lunch or an early dinner, it’s worth it.“

“Let me tell you about this smoked prime rib—it should come with a warning and possibly a police escort. First off, it’s so tender that the meat barely hits your tongue before it melts away, leaving you questioning every life decision that led you here. The flavor? It’s so good, I’m convinced it’s illegal. Honestly, I would square up against a grizzly bear for a seat at the table. And the bear would lose, because nothing is coming between me and that smoked prime rib.

This isn’t just food—it’s a borderline religious experience. It has Christians questioning their morals, and I’ve seen atheists pull out a cross mid-bite. Eating here is a game changer, a life-altering moment. That prime rib could bring world peace, cure Monday blues, and probably balance your checkbook. I’m still processing the aftermath.“

“Went there for the first time on Wednesday July 3rd thought it would e good idea to pick up and eat at the airport. Well the napkins were in the box with the wings so they were all greasy and the Waco airport doesn't have paper towels. I did ask for a couple of napkins before I left the restaurant so I had 2 in my purse. My husband enjoyed the wings and the fries were great . Will sip on our return home. Only suggestion don't put the napkins in with the food. Muck prosperity to you all.“
