Great atmosphere, friendly staff, decent frozen margarita. Sweet, not tart. The burger has no flavor except the pickled jalapeños… it’s decently juicy but reminiscing of a school cafeteria burger. Fries weren’t crispy and there wasn’t any seasoning or flavor. Catfish and hush puppies were crisp, but flavorless

Enjoyed a concert here while visiting Texas. Music was wonderful, $30 apiece to get in. Huge variety and areas for seating at picnic tables, chairs, standing or lounging on patio sofas. Even got the VIP sections. The only thing I didn’t care for was lack of delicious food and staff could’ve been more friendly. Not what I would’ve expect from southern hospitality.

Great place to see a concert. Staff was very friendly and drinks were reasonably priced. My wife and I had a great time. Will definitely co.e back when we are back in town.

Loved the burgers. Cheaper than I thought it would be. Big area in the back for concert. Saw Pat Green. Nice area with good crowd control. The VIP is very up front. Lol. A gap between the general admin & stage - that’s VIP. With shelf to put drinks down. Very cute!!! Only issue is parking. Downtown shady do be careful.
