It's a thin crust too and was cooked perfectly. We ordered a Greek salad, but they brought out a garden salad. The service staff seemed frazzled so I would say service could have been better. Also, we were seated before another table, but they took the order of the other table 1st - not cool. Ambiance is loud - hard to have a conversation when the area is full with other people. If in the area, would go again for the delicious pizzas! Forgot photos because we were in a hurry.

The biggest disappointment was paying $11.99 for the queso, guacamole, and salsa trio and getting tiny 2-ounce cups but it was good. Unfortunately, the service was terrible. We waited 15 minutes for water while the waitresses stood behind the bar, and my husband finally got it himself. I was left in awe at how many times the service kept telling us and other tables to hurry because they were closing. It felt so unprofessional.

It's a comfortable place and the bartender welcomed us as we walked through the door. I noticed that she welcomed everyone as they walked in. As I said, it is a comfortable and welcoming place with a better than decent bar. We sat at the bar and had a hand-made margarita with all fresh, in-house made ingredients. Bartender asked what tequila we preferred. They use fresh squeezed lime juice and in-house made triple sec. The rita was delicious. One of the best I have had. The young lady tending bar was very social, considerate, and knowledgeable. I cannot recall her name, but she hails from Nebraska and her Great Plains upbringing shines. The whole thing was so enjoyable that we will be back in a day or two for another rita and will try the food. They also have live music on weekends. Looking forward to returning. EDIT: Returned on August 2nd to listen to music and eat. Neon Leon was the performer. He is a Texas Singer/Songwriter of sorts who plays both electric and acoustic guitar (with a pickup). He was really enjoyable and had quite a repertoire including some very good songs he wrote. Just him and his guitar and that is all that was needed. Several locals were there listening and providing some great conversation. This is a great place. We tried shrimp on pita bread and it was flavorful and delicious. The menu is simple and food is well presented.

There is a decent size dining room, a nice bar area with high top tables, and tables outside on the patio. We stopped there to grab something to eat on the way to the Star Party at the McDonald Observatory. Not being very hungry, we split the Rio Grande Brisket Taco while sitting at the bar. The brisket was flavorful and plentiful; delicious. The bartender was busy, yet still attentive. The food orders we saw all looked good and plentiful. I wish we could have stayed a while longer, but we had a 20 minute drive to the observatory. Unfortunately, cloud cover pretty much ruined the Star Party, however, we were pleasantly surprised that a refund was offered. I highly recommend a stop at the Blue Mountain and check-out Fort Davis.

They have a dinning room or you can order to go at the bar. We used the scan code to order off the new updated menu, I didn't mind at all. Once order was placed, our food arrived promptly. Of course I ordered the Old Fashioned. 7 out 10. Not bad. For dinner my dad and I had the Chicken Fried Chicken and my nephew had the double cheeseburger. We cleaned out plates. Food was great. All in all I will definitely recommend and will be returning.

We used to stop in there for lunch but they don't do lunch anymore, sadly.

We visited the bar a few times during our stay and found the bartenders were friendly and seemed to have a good handle on everyone even when it was packed. The offer great beverages and the bar food menu gives you limited, but good options. My husband enjoyed the buffalo burger with its good flavor. I went with their baked eggplant Parmesan. This was an unexpected treat as it was prepared in such a way that I'd call it decadent. It looked like a square of lasagna and what you found was thinly sliced eggplant layered with cheese and other ingredients that made it the best eggplant Parmesan I've ever eaten. There, I said it. The best. The mixed greens and grilled focaccia is a nice touch to what you'll be enjoying with the eggplant.

Make the reservation yesterday. Chef Alexandra Gates met us at the door, walked us to our table, and explained every course herself. Our server Dallas was an absolute gem. We did the chef's menu with the pairing. Nilgai tartare with avocado and toasty grilled bread. Corn ribs that made me emotional about a vegetable. Mesquite Gulf shrimp in a beurre blanc I wanted to drink. Texas quail on ruby slaw with wild boar bacon. Bison in a pasilla-pecan mole, tender as a love song. Horchata pudding to finish, with a little pecan crown. My side dish queen, claimed the sparkling rosé and guarded it like a hawk. I let her. Happy wife, happy pairing. Some of the best food we have ever eaten in Texas, and I've eaten a LOT of Texas. Worth every penny and every mile.
