The owner was motivated, polite, helpful, and super energetic.. You need to keep an eye out for it because at 70 mph it's easy to drive by.. That said, in the amount of time for it to register that you just drove by and ask yourself the question, "Was that a beer barn?" You will arrive at a side street for which to use for turning around.. According to the owner there will soon be taco trucks and hot off the smoker barbecue available.. Drive up beer AND barbecue!! So, if you plan on driving North on 35 and don't feel like sitting in the endless construction traffic, then exit I35 just South of Temple and pick up 317 North. Leads you North of Waco (and you can still get Kolaches off exit 353 at Czech House or Slovaceks)... Will add 15-20 minutes onto your drive if there were no delays but lately with the construction it is apt to save you an hour!! Check it out..

Stopped in for a few pints after eating at another place downtown. Had a nice selection of…read moredrinkable beers, and a menu of snacks and bites to go with them.

It has been open longer than I have been alive. This is a very local hang out with many very close regulars. But they don't bite.

I have not really ever figured that out. 3) There is nothing over $4 and there is a Thirsty Thursdays discount. 4) The jukebox plays everything but be careful what you pick! Some songs just shouldn't be played here. 5) There is one pool table and it does get used. 6) They do gladly accept cash but you can pay by credit card. 7) If you're looking for barbecue, it's a tan building to the right of Honeycutt's as you're looking in from Airport. 8) You can eat your barbecue here. But you still have to go get it yourself, lazy. 9) Don't piss off the owner or the bartender. If you don't know. You better ask somebody! Or just try it out!

So, I guess I have no other option than to publicly post my email message: "Hello Jacob, We are first time customers at this restaurant. Let me start on a positive note: - Shroom Burger and Garlic Fries were delicious! Now, for my disatisfactions: - We were at a 7PM graduation and needed a late dinner afterward. We chose your restaurant because you were open an hour later than others. No where on your website did I see any indication of kitchen closing a full hour before closing. Upon arrival we were told "kitchen closes in 10 minutes". - We quickly placed our orders and the marinara was the texture of water - INEDIBLE! I asked the server if they might have thicker sauce and her response was "probably not, kitchen's closed". An acceptable response would have been to double check and NOT serve substandard sauce to begin with! - I was drinking water. Forty minutes before closing the server took the three-quarter's full container and dumped it on the plants. I was planning to get more water! How about asking if anyone would like more before dumping. Basically we felt unimportant and not at all like valued customers. I am extremely unhappy with the service and plan never to return, despite the delicious food. Sincerely, DT
