The patio is a real find, tucked away and quiet even on a Friday. Their crab cakes were solid, but the real winner was pairing the parmesan artichokes with a crisp sauvignon blanc. That combo just clicked.

First time here and Andy was our server. Super friendly, knew the menu inside out. Food was solid, I&rsquo;d definitely come back for lunch or dinner.

Been here a few times. Saturday night was busy, good energy. The place has a nice, relaxed feel to it. It&rsquo;s a solid spot for a casual dinner out.

Been coming here for years, and Jessica&rsquo;s service is always spot on. She&rsquo;s got great timing, never rushes you but keeps things moving. That consistent energy is why I keep coming back. The steaks are still cooked just right, too.

Found it walking around downtown. Relaxed vibe. The food is extremely good. Gets crowded though, limited seating. We&#39;ll be back.

Grabbed a quick lunch here. Love that it&#39;s in an old house, feels cozy. Sat on the back patio since it was sunny. Food came out fast, which is all I needed. Good spot for a quick bite.

The Mexican cheese board was a great start. The place was a bit understaffed though, with just one waitress for the whole restaurant.

Strawberry Lemon Drop was solid. Pork chop was juicy, tender. The maple syrup and creole mustard sauce made it. Grilled asparagus was tasty, but could&rsquo;ve used a bit more on the plate.

Loved the bacon and egg flatbread here. The bacon was just right, not too crispy. The homemade coleslaw had a nice tang. The rock music vibe is cool for a casual bite. I paired it with a local IPA that worked surprisingly well with the richness. Solid spot.

This place is huge, lots of outdoor space to wander. The property itself is really beautiful and you can feel the Texas history here. That&#39;s what made it for me, just the vibe of the old place.

Shrimp pizza was tasty. Just needed more shrimp for the price.

The butter on the biscuits is the real deal. You can taste it. Those biscuits are huge, and the grits were loaded just right. Portions are generous, no skimping here. Friendly service, too.

Came for the live music, stayed for the food. The grilled octopus was spot on&mdash;tender with a nice char. Karina, our waitress, was super friendly and kept our drinks topped up. Made for a really relaxed evening with my wife.

I had an amazing birthday dinner at Ambriza, where the staff made the occasion special with a dessert cart and a fun atmosphere. The cucumber Serrano margarita was a highlight, and the overall service was top-notch.

The country fried chicken is a must. The portion is huge for the price! Crispy outside, tender inside, with a ton of gravy. I couldn&#39;t finish it all, had to take half home for lunch the next day. Really solid value.

Mr. Javad was so friendly and made our group feel welcome. That kind of service is why I keep coming back.

Chicken 65 was the highlight, very flavorful. The lamb saag was fine. Good selection of naan. Service was a bit slow on a busy Tuesday evening, but the food arrived hot.

The menudo and barbacoa here are so good. I keep coming back when I&#39;m in town. The place itself is simple and clean, which I really like. Just a solid, no-fuss spot for a great meal.

The homemade pies are the real star here. Grabbed the chocolate meringue and cherry with a couple friends after dinner. Perfect for sharing and that meringue was so fluffy! 🥧

The potato in the breakfast taco was still a bit firm for my taste, but the staff&#39;s warm welcome was a nice start to the day. The vibe in here is just so cozy.

Been coming here for years, and the beef tips with mashed potatoes is my go-to. It&#39;s always a big plate, and the flavor is just as good as I remember. That consistency keeps me coming back.

Service was pretty good. The staff was attentive and polite, and our server knew the menu well. Everything went smoothly, though it did feel a bit rushed at the end.

The free ice cream for kids is a nice touch. My little one was thrilled, and it made our lunch on the outdoor deck feel like a little treat. The deck itself is a great spot when the weather&#39;s good.

The ribeye here is a standout. Cooked exactly to medium rare, it had a nice sear and was incredibly tender. The flavor was rich, with just the right amount of seasoning. The side of garlic mashed potatoes was creamy and smooth.
