    I love this place. I lived in Kerrville for 16 years…read more Thank God it wasn't here. They would have gotten all my money. Laid back. Buffet vibe. (I'm a Parrot Head) Visiting from NoTex. Yes..it's bar food, but that's great. You must try it. Good people.

    I came to this location on June 10, 2023 after coming back from retrieving Thing One from Summer…read morecamp. The outside has very little parking and looks like a little place that you may see in one of those small towns on the side of the road (wait, Center Point is a small town, LOL). When entering the establishment, visitors will find they can purchase a host of tchotchkes. After passing this area, visitors are met with a bar area and beyond that, an open outdoor seating area. While many reviewers describe the outdoors akin to stepping into the Caribbean, I describe it as a place that would make the late great Jimmy Buffett proud. When we sat at our table, we were greeted by the owner who struck up a conversation with my guest and Thing Two and handed us menus. We ordered a few things to include Queso with chips (meat added), chili cheese fries, two fish tacos, and a half order of sweet potato fries. Tilapia Fish Tacos Tilapia is not my favorite fish. However, it is often used at U.S. taco shops and trucks because of its price point. These can be a sustainable choice, for sure, but the filets can have a murky, muddy flavor that's best covered up with lots of vibrant toppings. These tacos were okay but not terrible. The pico for the tacos is actually what saved these tacos. Chili Cheese Fries Generally, chili fries are the perfect appetizer. Whether you get them at a Sonic drive-in or at a BBQ restaurant, cheesy fries coated in meaty chili are a combo that you just can't get wrong. However, these cheese fries were frozen from the bag fries and accompanied by what seemed to be a type of canned chili. After samping the tacos, I didn't expect this dish to be any more than the tacos (bar food quality). Overall, the service was pleasant and the rating given here is more for the customer service rendered as opposed to the food. The food is dive bar quality, but the atmosphere and service are far better than the food.
