Their inside feels like a greenhouse with tons of glass walls around but they also have a large patio (some shaded, some not spots). On Saturdays, they do 1/2 price frozen drinks, $1 wings, and $17 buckets of booze. I tried the Frozen Espresso Martini which was the perfect patio sipper! My friends got the Redtide which was a bit tart for me but they loved it. For food, we got some shareables for the table: Elote, Mac & Cheese, Ancho Carrots, and Cornbread. All the sides were amazing but the standouts were the elote and carrots. For meals, everyone got a mixture of Sandwiches and Golden Boy Plates. The Pig & Bull Sandwich was tender, packed with flavor, and loved the sweet slaw paired with it. Even on the plates, the meat was all juicy and tender. I absolutely loved the vibe of this spot and cannot wait for more warm weather to come back! Be sure to check out their weekly specials for extra deals!

Got the trinity and a 1/4 chicken with the slaw and rice (I haven't had rice in a bit. My genes were craving it). Off menu they added some slices of pork steak on as a free treat. And that probably was my favorite item. A wonderful sticky pork steak where it ate similar to a beef cheek. A slightly sweet honey(?) glaze. Who needs chapstick when you got these. The ribs also had a slightly sweet glaze that gave a great competition style bite. Very meaty on top. I always fall back and forth on if I prefer full spares vs St. Louis cuts and today I'm a StL guy. The heat and spice level for the sausage today was nice and I'm taking bites in my hotel room while typing this. The 1/4 was Smokey but the skin was a little tough. Tho still flavorful and idk why but the sauce that came with it gave me some graham cracker vibes that I'm all for with how good it was. I kinda got distracted by a bird outside rather than the one on my platter so I wasn't fully paying attention. lol. A nice crunchy black pepper bark on the brisket with a moist interior. I love the contrast of texture it brings. I'm stoked about finding and stopping by Golden Boy Barbecue today. Especially because I totally spent at least an hr. Maybe a little more talking about bbq around TX and rest of the states with Joey there.

Balaton is a Hungarian cherry, and I once had a great wine by a Michigan wine maker with the same, so I'm gonna say the Balaton cherry should be a Midwest tradition.

I was surprised to learn that they had a gluten-free bun for me to have with their grilled chicken sandwich. The bun did not fall apart like a typical gluten-free bread sometimes does.

It's not extremely expensive like at some hipper ass bars. The good hard stuff is about $9 or so. Also has food. The only thing not greasy or meaty are the Chips And Salsa. It's $4 for a handful.
