“Max was our server tonight and he was excellent! It was super busy and sooo loud for some reason, but he was patient, kind, and got everything out perfectly! Austin was also very helpful! Great food and service all around!“

“Nice place, not for everyone. I’ve been here twice. Had good service both times. Good drinks. But the place isn’t for everyone. If you are a young, hip, millennial this is your place. Gen-X it’s okay, limited cocktails due to their serving only their specialty drinks. No food. If you wear a pop knot or a man bun you will fit in perfectly.“

“Great live music in an intimate & energetic environment. Good drinks and a variety of food.“

“Awesome little Big,Bar! Friendly, kind, courteous folks, Always fun atmosphere. Stop by have your favorite cocktail, are Beer, they will hook you up.

Parking: Lots of parking. Gravel lot to side, beyond that there's a grassy meadow.“

“Not your typical dive bar... very well lit and a very welcoming staff. Too close to home, feels like I never left. Great drinks, free pool and WiFi come by and get lost in this dive bar💚🐻💚🐻“

“Perfect little place to go if you want to be surrounded by people who enjoy music and hanging out with friends. Cute ambiance inside with
the sweetest bartender you could ask for who also owns the place. Cold beer, music, a pool table, darts, and a couple of game machines! If you wanna go to a place where everybody knows your name. CHEERS....Breaktime is your place!“

“George’s was hands down one of the best meals on our trip so far!!! Our server, Coco, was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She took the time to help us decide what to order, and every recommendation was spot on. We started with the Bear Bites. They are practically a meal all by themselves! Then Coco suggested the blackened shrimp tacos for Chad, and he was completely blown away by how good they were. I ordered the steak fingers, and they were perfect. Super tender on the inside with an incredibly crunchy coating on the outside. Exactly how steak fingers should be! We both got the onion rings, and geez, they were HUGE! The Texas portions were so big that we ended up taking a ton of food back to the hotel. Great food, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. Coco truly made our experience memorable. Thanks again, Coco! If you ever make it through North Carolina again, give us a wave! 👋“

“Absolutely the best small town bar! Friendly staff and great atmosphere!“

“Great hang out spot you just have come and feel the vibe for yourself too see come on down“

“My husband and I went here for our combined fall birthdays and were treated like royalty. The full experience was awesome, loved the salad bar and all the choice cuts of meats available. Had a great experience with everyone working there even the managers came by and checked on us to ask if everything was ok. Highly recommend and we will be back again for another special occasion for sure.“

“Amazing menu, romantic setting, fantastic service. 10/10 recommend!“

“1 - Excellent food…fried pickles appetizer gone in 60 seconds; burgers were awesome; tater tots add beyond yummy…and stay crispy enough for next day breakfast ( because they give you a portion that you WILL have another meal) 2 - Speedy, friendly customer service…very attentive staff….we tipped well over the standard 20% because it was so good! 3 - beautiful, lively atmosphere…air coolers for outdoor eating, which we chose despite the heat/humidity Most importantly, I was an out of tower and this was my last meal with local family before flying out the next morning. Dumb a** me left my wallet at the restaurant and didn’t realize until getting ready to leave for the airport at 0830. We stopped by the restaurant to see if it was still in the outdoor eating area…nope. Luckily, ran into the contractor doing some work…he called the owner, the owner confirmed it was in the office safe. After hearing I needed to make the AM flight to DFW for connection to home, he dispatched an employee to go in on a planned closed day to get my wallet. This kindness allowed me to make my flight…what he didn’t know is this act of kindness was critical because I had a new job in-person interview scheduled for the next day. Forever grateful. THAT is customer service. Thank you so much! Tells a lot about the culture and dedication to customers. Keep up the awesome work…I will be back. Promise to keep better accountability of my wallet!“
