The Quad deviled eggs were an interesting concept. Can't say I'd recommend them. The Signature 205 Dip was not good. It's made with 4 cheeses, but the cream cheese over powers the entire dish. The Stephy cocktail may not be something everyone likes, but I really enjoyed it. Dr. Pepper with bourbon sounds odd, but I loved it. Hopefully you made it this far. The Autumn Ember Dip was fantastic. It was by far the best item we had. If you don't order anything else from the menu, you have to get the dip!! You can't go wrong.

The server we had was pleasant and apologetic, but the wait time for our food (party of 6, but nothing too intricately ordered) was borderline unacceptable. We were on a time constraint due to a concert that night, and very nearly had to leave when half of our party hadn't even received our food yet. I had the "Elevated Burger", which was pretty good but nothing special. I had ordered onion rings as my side, and when my dish was finally served I had gotten fries instead- but again, too little time to raise a fuss. We all enjoyed our dinner, but the wait ate up any goodwill we had. The view, however, is fantastic especially as the sun begins to set. Maybe when I have more time to kill, I'll give 205 another shot but until I see an improvement in service it will not be a high priority.

First time at this spot, and my initial impression was positive. I would say, I love, love, love…read morethat they use Big Green Egg's inside the restaurant on the line. If you've never had meat (or VEGGIES!) cooked on a BGE, it will change your life. This fact alone will bring me back to try other things. Before I get into the meal, my only real complaint was that they only had a soda machine and tea. I had brought my mother along, and she already had lunch and wanted just to sit and chat. As it was a very cold day she was gonna order a coffee and they don't offer anything hot! It's definitely an opportunity to expand here even if it was just so simple as putting a Keurig machine in the back. I had the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. It is served with grilled chicken in a grilled wrap and cheddar cheese. If there was a buffalo sauce, I didn't taste any. I was a little disappointed in the wrap. The flavor didn't really stand out as being cooked on the Big Green Egg. The cheese wasn't really melted, which can be a common problem with shredded cheddar cheese, but it also didn't really have the buffalo flavor that I was looking for in a buffalo chicken wrap (maybe it was a Toledo Ohio wrap I don't know just not spicy. ) It served with a side of ranch which I juiced up with some Cholula and that helped. I i'm not knocking the quality of the food because it was good. It just didn't live up to the expectations I had in my head based on the menu description. It also came with a side, which I chose the broccoli salad. This was nicely done with bacon, I believe some quinoa and the broccoli was chopped up nicely so you didn't have huge chunks. Also, it wasn't overly sauced so that would make it runny. Overall I give the property four out five stars. Also, the flavor of the whole meal was fine. Good size portion and good value for your money.

Five (5) Bar was certainly a blessing to find. Highly recommend you try this restaurant. Outside seating is pleasant & allows dogs, though we left our pup at hotel. Food is top notch. It's highly recommended for people who hate making decisions. There's only 5 staple appetizers & 5 dinner choices. They have a special everyday so you actually have 6 choices but keep that a secret. It's a great surprise. We had the Saturday special was grilled Snapper with rice/or substitute & spinach/ or substitute & salad. Salad is excellent greens green apple pecans cranberries goat cheese & wonderful complementary dressing. Service was excellent. JC was our server we really enjoyed him.

The mozzarella rounds, though... those things came out looking like fried hockey pucks. The breading was thick, greasy, and way too dense, and the marinara was heavy and bland, which didn't help their case at all. I'll return for the wings, but the mozzarella rounds can stay in the penalty box.

The ambiance has a cool vibe with fun arcade games. TV monitors plaster the walls with live sports events. The service was phenomenal with happy servers! Great staff! The food was some of the best Cajun food we ever had, with unique twists on some of our favorite dishes. Scrumptious!! I ordered the Voodoo Shrimp and Grits. So good! Sweet honey glaze bacon was wrapped over plump shrimp and cooked to perfection. And the Boudin balls were OMG fabulous, too! My hubby fully enjoyed his dish, a combination platter of catfish, crawfish and shrimp. Of course, I had to taste it... so good!!! The portion sizes were more than enough for a meal, and a late night snack for later. (Trust me, it won't last past the night.) The Service Manager, Latia Horton, took our experience to the next level!! She genuinely chatted with us about how the restaurant was started. As a former Operations Director, it was a pleasure hearing someone talk so passionately about their job and position. Her talent obviously has been recognized, as she mentioned that she had opened several other locations! Kudos to Latia and Walk-Ons!!! We are looking forward to visiting your location in The Colony, Texas!
