Customer Reviews

"Good bar, to watch a game Food was borderline. Got a bacon cheese burger with fries. Burger was cold, bacon was at least a day old. All of it had been sitting around for a while, which doesn't make sense, considering the waitress was right there. Fries were at least warm. Karaoke was ok to watch. Texas beat Texas A&M."

"It was fun, not a lot of folks out but the band was good and the waitress was fast and attentive. Pool tables , dancing and a friendly staff, what else can you ask for. I recommend it , kids were there too,"

"Wow! We have visited a few times in the past. On Sunday, October 5, 2025, our water(male), was the only wait staff. He was superior, service top notch, food was hot, great taste, and well presented. Thank you for the great service and Fried Catfish entree was the best!"

"Nice place for sports watching or playing pool. Pretty laid back on Sunday. Shonnda took great care of us and made excellent recommendations. Other than a regular (I think) that had had a few, thinking it was okay to just come to our table and tell dirty jokes, we had a good time."

- Robert H.

"I go here to play pool and I was super glad to see the last time I was there they Have updated the table felt and put new tips on most of the house cues and they even had chalk on the tables as well. It had been getting pretty bare with options for a cue and chalk was nonexistent. So I was presently surprised to see all of this. Thanks you guys!!"

- Jessica C.
