Had sort of a roadhouse feel to it, and definitely got busy as the lunch hour progressed. Had a couple beers, the brisket Philly, a frito pie and side of Mac and cheese. Really wanted the brisket queso too, but chickened out as I already ordered quite a bit. Will get it next time though, the brisket in the Philly was delicious. Entered a raffle with an older couple for a pistol on the way out, which I wasn't expecting, but as the elderly gentlemen said, one can never have too many firearms. Fingers crossed I guess lol all around a fun stop for lunch.

This place was recommended by a local businessman that Margie's has the best burgers in town. Since…read moreit was just down the street from where I was, it was a no brainer. If you are in a hurry, you may want to reconsider. It took a few mins to get a table but no big deal. Then it took several mins to get waited on. I didn't even look at a menu and ordered a chz burger and onion rings and tea. Didn't want to risk the waitress not coming back for a while. And she wasn't being lazy, they were just slammed busy. She did say "it's like this everyday " So you're wondering why the 5 stars. The food. Actually the burger. It was one of the best I've ever had. Reminds me those old side of the road diners that cooked everything on a big grill burger. A little greasy, lots of flavor. Just flat good. And as for timing, I do get here at 12:30. By 1:00, it had thinned out.

We had been drinking beer, so I stuck to beer except for an old fashioned (which was excellent and used Buffalo Trace). They also have an awesome selection of draft beers. I had a Live Oak Hefeweizen which was excellent. Service was excellent both at the restaurant and the attached pizza area. Since we had been drinking a while, we decided to have pizza at the shop attached to the bar. They have a nice pizza oven and this was excellent. I forget the name, but it has a nice thin crust with great cheese and topped with sausage and mushrooms. It really hit the spot Definitely worth a visit, distinct from many of the other bars around.

I'm not often as impressed as I am by Rough Draught. Awesome, awesome selection. Good people who enjoy talking whiskey. The interior and decoration and walls - it all just GOES. It's perfect. Sadly they were out of a key ingredient or two to make pizza when we were there - during Thanksgiving week, so... not "normal" timing - so we sadly could not try their pizza. But we enjoyed multiple great pours, some good cocktails, great conversation, and exploring all of the details in the decor. A staple for any visit I'll be making to College Station and Aggieland.

Other staff stopped by to check on us, looked like a good team effort for the business to keep up with the crowds. We Uber'd in, so can't comment about the parking, other that "it looked pretty crowded" when we left. Definitely added to the return list for next visit.

Guys, this place is part of the original definition of Northgate and College Station. Many bars…read morecome and go but this is a staple. I have lived in many cities and I can never find other shot bars, which leads me to believe these people are geniuses. One group of 5 walks in and within 10 minutes, they've dropped $60 in shots, easy. Here's how it all works: you go in the front or back door, belly up to the bar, order your first round of shots. You meander down the bar a little, belly up again and order your second round. This proceeds until you're at the end and proceed out the other door and on to the next place (after playing in bottle cap alley). I miss this place. It's dingy, it's small, it's Texas and it's perfect. Even the bartenders are nice. Do yourself a favor and stop by! The Chocolate Cake shot is always one of my favorites.

You order at the counter and pick up your food when they call your name. School was out so not many students in town so getting in and getting our food was quick. Everything was hot. I got buffalo chicken ranch sandwich and my wife got chicken strips. They were good. Probably not the best I've ever had. I gave them 4 stars because the onion rings were a little overcooked. Maybe 3.5 but nostalgia and atmosphere added .5 points. Love the ol' feel of Chicken Oil. We will be back.

I didn't argue because I was too tired, but the portion size did not match what was advertised or what I expected for the price. Paying $18 for a burger that small was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend it. 0/10.

If you want a proper cheeseburger, go in the back door, not the front (saloon) doors. If it's gameday, go an hour or two before the game. Order your food at the counter, then proceed out of that room to the back bar. Order a shiner bock to accompany your cheeseburger. Proceed to the back by the pool tables and say hi to the rattlesnake in the far back. Around that time, someone will be calling your name for food. If you've got time to hang out and play pool with some friends, or before a game, grab a pitcher and find a table. Note that this review is for daylight hours only, and the evening (a good time in its own right) is a different experience than covered here. Gentlemen, if you happen to find a trough, do not eat the ice.

We entered from the campus side and I was embarrassed as to not knowing how to get to the ordering counter (lol) but we eventually made it.

The price point was meh but it now is absolutely paying for the experience. There were ample sports matches on and it was cool to watch USA play Germany in soccer. Incredible staff/service! Will be showing more newcomers The Chicken in the future.

This was my first time doing a pedal party and I would highly recommend you trying it! It's a great & fun experience. The meeting spot was in front of Little Woodrows.

We peddled for a few blocks then stopped at two bars in Midtown. Overall this experience was great! Thanks Joshua! :-)

I had the opportunity to try the Pedal Party over the weekend with some family and friends. We had…read morean absolute blast. I would say that 90% of making this an enjoyable experience falls within the people you choose to ride with, as well as preparation. We were a group of 15 people, everyone over 21. It's BYOB, so make sure you bring a cooler with CANNED beverages or/and plastic bottles of water. Pros - - You get to play your own music - You choose where to make your stops - There's no limit on how long you take at each stop - They provide Koozies for your drinks Cons - - I'm order to get the bike to move, everyone has to pedal (It's a 2200 lbs bike). There are a few seats above the tires and a bench at the rear that don't require those passengers to pedal, everyone else will have to put work in. So this would mean, you have to make sure you ride with ENOUGH people who can REACH the pedals and who won't get tire TOO quickly. You don't travel far with these bikes but it does require a substantial amount of leg strength to pedal. - You will be on the street, meaning you might or might not catch traffic, depends on the location and the time of your reservation so do your research. NOTE - everyone who is riding must arrive at least 40-30 mins ahead of appointment to get started with paper work. You have to fill out about two sheets of paper. This was a 5 star experience for me. Our driver Zach was beyond amazing with us. He is funny, respectful, punctual, professional with his work, and supper down to earth. If it's your first time trying the Pedal Party, make sure you ask for Zach as your driver, you won't regret it. I hope you find this review helpful in choosing this experience.
