I went to Big Mike's with a group of about 40+ people for Thursday Music Trivia and was really…read morelooking forward to it because the food looked good on Doordash, they have good Yelp reviews and the restaurant is only a block from my new house. Unfortunately the food was just atrocious. The food is incredibly overpriced and everything I tasted (Loaded Nachos and the Quesadilla) was incredibly bad. Seriously I've had better nachos at a little league game...just awful! They consisted of a big pile of chips, a tiny smattering of very subpar quality, under seasoned ground beef (reminds me of public school sloppy Joe meat in the 1990's), some utterly tasteless slop masquerading as "salsa" and even the jalapeños had zero flavor. How is that even possible? The pic I posted of the Loaded Nachos is the one the owner posted on DoorDash. It's utterly unimpressive and it's $20!!! The toppings on the nachos IRL are even more sparse than in the photo. My friend's quesadilla looked like the ones I made when I came home drunk at 3am in college...maybe, and I mean MAYBE a quarter of an inch thick and it was $10...and that was the special price for Music Trivia, It's usually more. The only thing out of a table of 40+ people that looked good was the Reuben sandwich. It's $16 and comes with fries which seemed very fair. I will say the draft beer was ultra cold and really tasty. I had the Shiner Bock that was $4 from 7-9 on Thursdays during Music Trivia. Let me say unequivocally that if I'd ordered and paid DoorDash prices I would have demanded a refund. It was that bad even dining IN the restaurant so the delivered product would have been inedible. The bright spot of the evening was the service. The restaurant was very understaffed, but the girls ran their butts off to keep everyone's drinks refilled. Our table alone was over 40 people and they had 3-4 servers and one bartender for the whole place. Music trivia was fun thanks to the DJ. He was very engaging and everyone had a good time. He was having a ball and his enthusiasm was infectious! This could be a great place to hang out but the food SERIOUSLY needs to be elevated if it's to survive. They would benefit from whittling down the menu to just bar food and elevating it without increasing the prices. For example they have a prime rib dinner for $32. I can't begin to imagine how bad that must be. I might go back for Music Trivia and to drink beer but I definitely wouldn't order food again unless they do a complete overhaul.

My friends took me here for my 60th birthday!! Outside of the perfect steaks and stellar service (a great big thank you to Brad our amazing waiter), the music stole the show!! They have this insanely talented musician who performs Friday and Saturday nights starting at 6:30 PM .. he literally has his stage on a landing pad halfway up the staircase with his own little music kingdom. One guy. Several instruments. Electric guitar and saxophone were played effortlessly. You can make requests, which adds to the fun! For example, "Sweet Caroline" was a song that everyone sang along throughout the restaurant lol. Then came something I didn't expect. This musician has made it his personal mission to play our National Anthem on Fridays and Saturdays 7pm sharp. Everyone naturally stood -up, the whole room joined in, hand over their hearts, so much patriotic passion and energy. It was truly beautiful to see people come together in that moment. And just when I thought the night couldn't get better, out came a birthday dessert .. a warm homemade cookie with ice cream and a real sparkler. It was a show stopper!! I haven't seen a sparkler since I was ten lol. Apparently, birthdays are a big deal here, because it felt like every table around us had their own sparkler birthday/ anniversary moment. It was hilarious ... and I loved it! If you're looking for a memorable experience or just a relaxing delicious meal, nothing compares to Texas y'all. TIP: they have valet parking! TIP: they take reservations!

Unfortunately, every time I've visited I've…read morerun into the same issues: slow service, long wait times, and food that falls short of expectations. The staff has always been friendly, but they appear to be consistently understaffed. While that may explain the delays, it doesn't improve the overall dining experience, especially since the restaurant hasn't been particularly busy during my visits. This most recent visit was the worst. My food had a foul odor and appeared to be spoiled. I brought it to the server's attention, and to their credit, they immediately took it back and removed it from my bill. I appreciated how they handled the situation, but it should never have reached the table in the first place. The beer selection is also disappointing, with only a handful of draft options available. Cafe Gecko Eastside has potential, but based on my experiences, it needs significant improvements in both food quality and overall execution.

It came out promptly and several servers came by to check on me. Quesadilla was balanced well with meat, cheese and veggie ratio, I really enjoyed it. I had a scoop of ice cream for dessert and thoroughly enjoyed that as well. Restaurant wasn't too busy when I came in but became packed in the 40 minutes or so I took to eat and pay up. I love the ambiance of this place, definitely a space to wear your cowboy hat or boots if you got them. The servers in the music venue were extremely prompt and attentive to everyone, I could tell they knew their regulars. Some people ordered food in that space too (which I didn't know you could do!) music venue is outside with fans and covered.

The guy with the buzz cut and long shorts is clearly a relative of the owner. The slim guy with the glasses had a different section and he was on top of his game. If we ever come back we will make sure and sit in his section. I paid money to see a concert, and missed 4 songs because we had to walk inside to get a drink. I have been coming to Love and War since 2014, it is not the same my friends. The 1995 Bronx guy with the long basketball shorts should work at the DMV. He is absolutely atrocious as a waiter. I need to stress this..... he must be a family member. No one that bad could ever keep a job. Be warned, if you want to have any semblance of a good time, find the guy with the glasses and sit in his section. Avoid the angry thumb shaped man with the buzz cut. He clearly has a trust fund, your tips don't matter.
