Customer Reviews
Food was absolutely amazing, although I wasn't a fan of the coleslaw. You can tell the fries are cooked from fresh potato (not frozen or sitting for a long time) Great choice of seasoning on them. The Sirloin was more than amazing. If I could rate the Sirloin more than five stars I would give it 8. It was cookies just how I asked, and WONDERFUL flavor through it all. The appetizer for queso and endless chips was amazing. First time going, definitely now a go-to date night restaurant. Server was so sincere and sweet. Definitely beats Perkins, Flip N Jacks, or Applebees (which was my to go restaurant)
Food is good but I'm not too fond of how they don't cook the ribs with BBQ on them, you add it when it comes to the table. This changes the flavor, it should be cooked with the sauce and optional for it to not have sauce. Still good place to eat and recommended. The wings are always the best
This place is honestly under rated . The service is impeccable and the food quality was awesome their hand dipped boneless buffalo wings are on point 👌
Had to stop by and check it out when we saw the name. We loved the "Beverly Hillbillies." We had the family meal for 2, with the 1/2 slab, brisket, and burnt ends. Also had the smoked wings as appetizers, and for the sides, we had cole slaw, fried pickles, salad, and green beans. Our waitress was super attentive and nice. Sports bar atmosphere, not crazy loud, very nice. Our food was very good. Highly recommend the wings, green beans, corn bread, and ribs. Brisket was tasty but a bit dry. The burnt ends were good, just too much sauce, and also very small portion, especially since you upcharge $2 for the ends and another $2 for the brisket. All the sauces were good and hard to decide a favorite. We highly recommend and would return. We might have just caught an off night fo
Food was good, service was amazing. Raul took great care of us and made sure our drinks were full, and even promised the margarita was going to be amazing. He did not disappoint. Because we stopped in mid day, it was quiet and personable.
