The live music started at 8pm and went until midnight. There were 4 sets with each lasting about 45 minutes. My group lasted until the break after the second set but we had a great time!

Drinks were reasonably priced and our server was very attentive checking on our table frequently.

I was waiting…read morefor a bait and switch or a bunch of add-ons but I got a cheeseburger liked it with crinkle cut french fries and a good helping . only charge me $5. And it wasn't a single Patty stripped down burger it was too large patties on a very healthy bun. With a large diet drink which the waitress offered me a refill to go when I was ready to leave. The service was beyond excellent and I can't say enough about the cleanliness and comfort. I joined the rewards club a while back and have been getting some decent specials and decided to try one. I'll definitely be going back to try more.

From a price to food ratio I would also give 5 stars as this meal easily can fill a grown man for 2 meals (My wallet is crying with tears of joy). Country fried steak was cooked to perfection, however because the white sauce was on it, the crunchy fried breading became slightly soggy over time (kinda like cereal sitting in milk over time). I would suggest getting gravy on the side so you can have both textures as you eat. The mash potatoes were solid... not the best in the world, not the worst in the world, if your a fan of mash potatoes it hits the spot on a cold day. Fried onion rings were super crunchy and breaded well so each bite had 65% breading crunch and 35% onion. Would get these onion rings over Texas Roadhouse onion bloom/cactus blossom (which I had the day before) as they had a 70% onion to 30% breading (so each time you grabbed onions the breading fell off. The cupcake was a dark horse (tasted like a sweet, crumbly cake with sugar lightly soaked in a sweet nectar that was experience in every bite. I highly recommend this). Pecan pie... I'm too stuffed, so I'll defer on my honest review on the pecan pie. Finally, the raspberry icetea was diabetically sweet, like it should be. If you want it less sweet, just ask for a water on the side and add water until it's your ideal sweetness. Note: I was nervous at first since there were so many bad reviews, but was pleasantly surprised. Service (9/10) - My server, Jacklyn, was sociable/professional and gave her own personal recommendations to our party. I asked her, "Do you eat here normally?" She said yes, so I took up her up on the offer and requested that she to order what she would normally eat. Side Note: It's a good sign when the workers eat the restaurant food regularly and have great taste. Ambiance (9/10) - The service overall was warm and homey that reminded me of southern Texas hospitality. There was about 8-10 parties eating when we can to dinner rush hour, and there was plenty of seating with minimal wait (the main wait was for the freshly made food that took an appropriate amount of time to cook/serve). Final Thoughts - Go on Wednesday as they have free pies if you get a entree + drink (excludes children) and thepies are half off on Wednesday. I'll be coming back again.

Can't find that anywhere else. The only miss was the hummus plate. The edamame hummus was just not good. It was dry and really just lacked flavor to complement the fresh veggies, chips, and toast. It was unique, but I would have preferred a good creamy chickpea hummus and ranch. The server was really nice and really on top of things. The only issue we had was there really wasn't a dedicated person upstairs initially. Not really surprising since it was just us. She did surprise us with a waffle and ice cream dessert, which the kids loved. All in, this please really has something for every one. Look forward to our next visit!

What happened next was unacceptable. I watched the waitress take the drink back to the bar, where the bartender (with his hair parted in the middle) poured the margarita out of and over the salted rim, into a different glass instead of making a new one. That same drink was then brought back to me. This isn't just poor service, it's a serious health and safety concern for me. There is a reason I asked for no salt. Rather than admitting a mistake and correcting it properly, they chose to cut corners and hope I wouldn't notice. If I hadn't seen it happen, I would have unknowingly consumed something I specifically asked to avoid. There were other issues during the visit, but this alone is enough to ensure I won't be returning. Trust is critical when dining out, and unfortunately, this experience showed that it's lacking here.

They definitely had a "bar" vibe, with the bar at the center of everything, darts, a claw machine, and Golden Tee. Aside from that, it's a pretty "boxy" layout, but clean overall. The food we had was actually pretty good, though! We started with the Crab Rangoon Dip and Bacon Cheddar Donuts. Both were super tasty, with the dip having a sweet chili sauce on it to cut the heaviness, and the cheddar donuts almost being like fried balls of mashed potatoes. Yummmm, My husband and I got two different entrees. I had the normal cheeseburger, and it came with the cute "72" branded on the bun. I am a sucker for good branding, so loved that. It was just a basic burger, but cooked the way I like it, as if it was made on the grill at a back yard party. He had the Honey Habanero Chicken Sandwich and LOVED it. I had a bite and it was sweet and spicy at the same time - a great flavor combo. For dessert, we shared the Cinnamon Sugar Donut Holes, and they were very sweet, with a white icing for dipping, like usually comes on a cinnamon roll. They were tasty, but we were so full at this point, we didn't really get to eat too many of these, just a nibble! I would say as long as you go in knowing this is not fine dining, and are ok with the bar type ambiance, then 72 Table and Tap is a good place to eat or catch a game on their TVs.

So we were in Hog Wild on a 108th and overheard the owner and one of the managers talking in front of employees bad-mouthing LGBTQ and admitting that they used to take kids like that at school out to woods and beat them. Something about one of the employees dad being a woman now getting married. They were not all that quiet. We found out by questioning that the owner was talking to a woman named Katie. Yes we will never eat there again or any Hog Wild. We will be passing out the word about the owner being a bully and in our view being a bad example for his employees. I guess it is safe to say that Hog Wild is anti-LGBTQ and not-so-friendly of a place. Really people this is the problem we're having in this world as we speak. We are not impressed. We have friends in the LGBTQ community and particularly a certain friend that is transgender. You cannot ask for a more nicer better person to be around. She would do anything for anyone. read more

I am usually not a fan of franchise BBQ joints and prefer the hole in the wall off the beaten path joints. With that said, I was very impressed with this place. I had the 1/2 slab of ribs with baked beans and potato salad. The ribs were EXCELLENT as were the beans. I was not a fan of the potato salad, but it definitely didn't ruin the meal for me. The servings are very generous and the staff is incredibly friendly. Even during the rush of lunch hour, the place was very clean. I would definitely recommend a visit to this restaurant. read more

Their menu is vast and full of variety and I felt myself feeling nervous attempting to decide. Luckily, my sister and brother in law had the idea of ordering several items on one of their platters. I thought this was the perfect way to feed 6 people. I believe we got a few other things along with it, like the potato salad, an order of just burnt ends and an extra order of corn bread. There was something for everyone! We got to try their BBQ chicken and turkey as well as some pulled pork and ribs. I was happily impressed. I also loved how clean the restaurant and bathrooms were. There was ample staff around to bring out the meals, pick up some plates that were empty, and refill waters. Just recently, my workplace catered Porky Butts BBQ for our meal for inventory. They brought all the food, and napkin dispenser, utensils, and plates along with enough staff to set up and serve for 4 hours. The staff were genuinely kind, polite, and professional. Greeting each employee as they came into the breakroom and were excited to serve us. It was such a delight. The food was just as delicious as when I tried it in the restaurant. We got to choose from beans, corn bread, pulled pork, sliced BBQ chicken, and mac and cheese. They had buns available if you wanted to eat the pork or chicken as a sandwich and several different BBQ sauces to add on if you chose. They also had butter and honey packets for the bread. Just like my visit at the restaurant I was impressed and so full by the time I finished my meal. Porky Butts is a proven winner!!

I headed to Porky Butts after reading rave reviews. I bought the Family Platter, said to feed 2-3. I can see that. It seems like a lot of food.

My go-to is pulled pork, and just to be different, I made this dinner a pork-a-pallooza by choosing smoked ham as the second meat. The ribs are really good -- the meat comes off the bone easily and has great flavor. The pulled pork was disappointing, though. It seemed really wet, and not from sauce. Like overcooked, too much steam, maybe? Who know. But the ham! OMG, the surprise entry in this extravaganza was soooo delicious! Not too smoky, not overly salty, tender and, dare I say, worthy of being a main selection when I come back! Two large containers of sides were both great. The beans were saucy, smoky, and filled with threads of, I dont know, brisket? The mac and cheese was flavorful and very creamy. I didnt want to wait for dinner after my first taste test! Cornbread is moist and delicious and that's before any butter or honey. Folks behind the counter were quick and friendly (it was a to-go order). And even at 2 in the afternoon tables were populated and carryout was hopping. As for carryout, I wonder why the sauce containers are so tiny. Be loud -- be proud, and use less plastic with a single container that hold three of those tiny ones. And that pulled pork, it made a good sandwich, but it wasnt A+ I will be back though. The variety of sides looks amazing and the sandwiches were very enticing!
