Effingham was our first stop on a road trip to San Antonio. We pulled in medium late but full…read morehungry. Scanning the food places we picked this because it seemed to have decent ratings and a lot of reviews. Plus, you get go wrong with good ol' American cuisine. The first kind of hiccup is that they must have recently moved building. Though they moved right next to their existing building, there was no signage and we had to rely on our own eyeballs. Which almost led us into the wrong building. Not a bid deal, realistically, but it threw us for a loop. Getting inside, it was super clean. Long bar, plenty of tables, modern, many tvs for many sports. Plus, the building itself seemed rather large. A chonker of a building, if you ask me. Our hostess brought us into what seemed like the back 40 of the building and seated us next to a garage door that overlooked a cement pad that will one day be a cement pad with things on it. Not even mad. Saw a train. Here's the money shot. Have you ever been happy adjacent? Have you ever been right up to the edge, the precipice, the peak, then turn around and leave? That was kind of the ideal feeling here. The ambiance and service and general-ness of the entire place was spot on. The food itself looked top-tier. But it felt a click away from perfection. Let's look into it. As a hefty man (fat, not the garbage bag brand), I'm a man of appetizers. Also of wings. Therefore, sign me up for 12 bone in wings for an app. Split into three flavors: Carolina BBQ, Buffalo, and regular BBQ. They came out looking and smelling delicious. The sauce flavors hit hard. But I was a little let down with the dryness of the wings. I know sometimes it can be difficult to knock a wing out of the park because those damn things just want to get crispy. But I don't want to fight chewing the meat off the bone. It felt like a battle me and my mush mouth would lose. Now, from what I understood, all sides were a la cart. Color me fine with that, fatty will order anyways. Especially since I saw they offered street corn AND hushpuppies. So naturally, that's what I ordered. The hushpuppies came out and were the round kind. Which I am no stranger to. They had good flavor, good done-ness, but missed the mark on the size. If they were hush people, they would have been premies. A little sad they didn't get to experience their full potential. Now, for this part I will say I was forewarned. My server did mention the street corn came in a bowl and was served cold. I thought I was better than somebody who judged street corn by its temperature. I was wrong. It did come cold. And because of that, it was not tasty. Missed the mark completely. I did get a bonus side, your typical, run of the mill French fry. They came out and looked great. Meadiu

It's a 5 because it's what a bar and grill should be. Or used to be back in the day. Meaning before 1990. Popcorn machine with various seasonings to choose. Pool table. Good size table and booth area. Plus huge bar with comfy seats and angled elbow rests. Now.. they have various good size TVs on the wall and what is fun is basically 13-19" TVs above the bar. But this is a place you go to hang out and talk with friends not be glued to a TV. Ok the food. Tried the wings since on Wednesday they are 75 cents. Which is a DEAL!! They also have $2 domestic cans. I mean.. that's crazy! And appreciated in this day and age. (Oh and all drafts come in frosted 12oz mugs.) The wings.. tried garlic parm. Little heavy on the parm. Could use a little more butter/garlic. But solid!! Then tried the medium buffalo. This is what Buffalo should be! Buttery, salty, hint of vinegar.. just a solid sauce!! Oh and home made ranch. Was good as well. This is one of my new favorite old school tavern.

During a visit to town for Father's Day, my husband and I placed a large order to share with…read morefamily. We had a 16-piece meal that came with 8 biscuits, and 3 large sides (cole slaw, mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy). This was my first time eating here and I was rather impressed with the clean store, fast and efficient service and the accuracy of our order. Our wait was rather entertaining as well. You can tell that this is a popular spot with the locals. There were lots of "hi there" and "hellos" as well as some additional shenanigans. The place felt familiar in a very welcoming way. As previously stated, it was Father's Day, so many folks were dressed in their Sunday's best, but others were very casual. This is a pick-up only restaurant and there isn't a place to eat inside, but there was a small bench available for those waiting on their orders. It was busy, with a diverse clientele, but the staff worked diligently to get everyone in and out quickly. The food was delicious. The chicken was crispy and flavorful. The mac and cheese was creamy and the coleslaw had a nice bite to it. I wonder if the recipe includes horseradish. Everything felt reminiscent of KFC, but better...fresher. We'll definitely be back in the future.

They've always had good wings with creative sauces but at the time the beer selection was pretty lame, the decor and wait staff not particularly impressive and nothing we tried food-wise besides the wings impressed us. Cut to the visits I've made since PopUp lost their (3rd party) liquor license 6-8 weeks ago. It drove me back and I e since found the beer selection has improved immensely, the hired help seems a bit friendlier and the summer special chicken salad sammich (all by itself) is my new obsession! How times have changed. Not sure if joining UnTapped had anything to do with it, but they now have 16 taps - mostly craft beer always incl a cider and Guinness. They have a plethora of sports, etc. on a plethora of TVs, darts and gaming, an expansive food menu. And while the wings still rock, it's the chicken salad on warm cibatta bread is one of the best true sandwiches, and best deals at $8 with homemade potato chips, in town. Eyes opened.
