Amazing atmosphere! From pool tables to Karaoke you wont have a hard time keeping busy. If you just want to relax they have seating for that aswell. Very friendly staff and customers along with a very friendly and social vibe. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fun night out!

Best place west of Boston! Found this place on my way home and what a great place! They have a huge outdoor patio with a bar and a smoking section! The bartender Lauren not only made the best drink I have had in years, but the wings were delicious!! This will be my new place to go!

I am from Houston Texas and I benchmark the BBQ from Texas. Let me tell ya'll this is a grade A Texas style BBQ sauce and brisket. Willikers beat the Texas benchmark for Texas style BBQ. And you can't find a more Texas style dive bar and Texas style restaurant in the state of Texas.

To be honest, this place is mainly a bar; it gets busy after work and on the weekends. The drinks are fine and the "tex-mex" food is enjoyable, but but not particularly spectacular. I bumped my rating up to 5 stars because the wings are some of the best I have ever had. They come in multiple interesting flavors (regular buffalo flavor is my favorite...plenty of heat) and a single order of ten wings is more than one person should eat. I have brought kids there, and they enjoyed the food, but I would recommend getting there early. The dining area is somewhat separated from the bar area, but it can get pretty loud when the bar fills up. The patio is great for a drink after work, when the weather is nice. As far as entertainment goes, there are pool tables and a jukebox, and sometimes there is a DJ, karaoke or even a band. Once in a while there is even entertainment on the patio.
