Second time here, and this time - better. We arrived and…read morewere greeted and immediately seated. We had two servers, both were excellent. We ordered off of the lunch menu, a ribeye and the bbq ribs & beef. We both had side salads, so fresh. We also ordered a side of fried okra. They also served everything with a basket of rolls, so worth the calories and we drank iced tea. Everything was excellent. Food was tasty, service was great. But the BEST? Their carrot cake... My grandmother made one of the best and this one is about as close to it that I have ever had. Sure, the place looks like a tourist trap with a lot of cheesy souvenirs you can purchase, but if you're hungry - stop here for a great meal. I'll be back!

We get there around a late dinner time, 5:45ish? We were told an hour and a half wait. We got…read moreseated less than an hour later, probably 40 minutes later. We spent some time in the gift shop which has lots of cool things to see or get. (We got stickers for the kids, my husband got a magnet, and I got a coffee mug.) After that, there was a baby cow that we could get pictures with for 10 dollars. We did and my daughter kissed the cow . Then we sat on a bench for maybe 10 minutes. Our waitress was very nice I like how she attended to us regularly but not too much, if you know what I mean. Some men walking around playing guitars came to our table and my daughter lit up! My husband gave them some cash and they played you are my sunshine for her and she was dancing and giggling. Best thing we ever did! It's a tad loud because it is a big place and of course people cheering for any contenders who take part in the steak challenge, but we would come again. But it might be best to make a reservation ahead of time.

A couple things about this bar. First off, I LOVE a dive bar, and this place certainly fits the…read morebill! No-frills decor, TVs with sports on and a bar with stools on one end, and ordering space at the other. I've seen mention of the bartenders being rude. Correction, I think, they are BUSY! The area I ordered from had a line, and I always got an ice cold beer, so I was happy. Only thing is, I was here specifically for karaoke. First, the (minor) dings: the area is literally in a back room, kinda cramped. No big deal. The acoustics aren't great, but again, I've been to worse! Long rotation? Well, yeah. Unfortunately, you have to sign up on a yellow tablet. Get over it, lots of people want to sing, and I had a blast when I did. My big problem was the KJ announcing on the mic that if you want to be "moved up" in the list, it would take a $20 tip. That's a bit much. I say this as someone who hosted for 13 years in Austin, TX. I've never heard of a host doing this, which knocks my rating down. Would I return? Probably, but I'll just get there earlier!

Rumors always feels like a fight is 2 minutes from breaking out to me. They have cheap drinks and yes, it's definitely the place to meet up with friends, so for a lot of people this is a major selling point. I just prefer someplace I feel like I can relax a little bit and just enjoy the company of friends. I never really feel that way at Rumors. Definitely an eclectic crowd though. You get gutter hippies and frat boys sharing tables pretty much here and only here. Hopefully you'll take this score with a grain of salt (and a lime) and read the review to decide if this place has what you're looking for. Meanwhile, you'll find me kicking back pitchers at R&R!

Service when at the bar is dependent on the bar keep and how many regulars are in that day to chat with. At tables service is legit. The jazz band was a nice added ambiance to have in the back ground also. I'd eat another steak here for sure.

So I decided to try this bar because of the reviews. I had a sort of mixed experience. When I went…read moreto the ladies room there was a sign stating "Please don't do coke in the bathroom". That should have been my first warning about this place. It's a cute bar but they are dishonest about their prices. The white wine I asked for was $9 on the menu. When I asked my server when I got the first bill I thought happy hour was going on she said " It might be applied to just our house wines." Then, when I pointed out there was a discrepancy on the menu vs. the first bill I received she looked at it and said " Well that might be because the register automatically just applied that charge to the bill". I ended up paying for the happy hour payment after all. It just seems sketchy she hiked up the price for one glass of wine.

This is one of the best speakeasies out there. I originally came because it was featured in…read moreYellowstone, and the food and drinks did not disappoint. The cocktails were excellent and the food was delicious. I ordered the Pecan Goldie, served in a martini glass--a sweeter take on an Old Fashioned. Next was the Bomb City Cosmo, another refreshing cocktail also served in a martini glass. We ordered appetizers and dinner, and everything was great. The menu comes from Toscana Italian restaurant upstairs, and we enjoyed every dish. For appetizers, we had the spinach artichoke dip and pretzel bites--very creamy, and the pretzel bites were warm and delicious. We also tried two salads: the BLT Wedge Salad and the Shaved Brussels Sprout Parmesan Salad. Both were hearty and very filling. We finished with the chocolate pistachio cake, which was a delightful dessert. Happy Hour: Their website advertises $6 liquor Monday through Friday from 5-7 PM. However, the bartender didn't seem to honor it, saying happy hour is upstairs--though that's not what the website states. He did make it right by charging only for two drinks, which equaled the price of the three drinks that should have been on happy hour. Hopefully they begin honoring the posted happy hour pricing. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and I look forward to returning. Evelyn, our server, was very attentive and kind throughout our visit.

Having said that, this is a drinking and pool playing bar. We sat at the bar, and the waitress/bartender told us it used to be a strip club. There are no windows anywhere, so my wife had already predicted that. It was Saint Patrick's Day, so most of the patrons, and us, were wearing green. They had green clover wall hangings and other appropriate decorations. I thought that was a nice touch. Lots of locals, who know each other, hang out at this bar. They do allow dogs inside. The mood inside was boisterous and energized. Since it was St. Patty's day and we were in Texas, I ordered a Yuengling Black & Tan. This consisted of a porter mixed with premium beer. A clean, refreshing beer. After downing that, I ordered the ingredients to create a black trash. I poured a Guinness on top of MGD. You could substitute Budweiser for the MGD. This wasn't pairing well and the Yuengling was much better. I ended the night with a dirty blonde, Guinness on top of Stella Artois. Our waitress let me use a bar spoon to float the Guinness on top of both these drinks. The dirty blonde tasted better than the Black Trash and was more balanced. If you want some cheap drinks, friendly service and relaxation, than visit this local, "real" bar.
