Quite a great place to enjoy Texan food. So flavourful I drank a regular coke and thought it was plain. A little pricey but the waiters were so nice when looking after me and my sister when having our food. We didn’t book a reservation, and we were seated no problem 😌

Drinks were great, food was incredible and the staff were nice and friendly. I asked for a drink that had a grape garnish and she said they didn't have the garnish, so I said no problem and said the drink is okay without but I couldn't order it that way, I had to get a different drink which was disappointing but understandable ❤️
