The food was very good. Our server was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Service was a little slow. We were there with friends, sitting outside on a very pleasant day had time for a very leisurely lunch. If that had not been the case, we the pace of the service may have been an issue. It would be great if there was a vegetable side that could be substituted for the rice and beans.

Great dining experience today. Our server was great! Friendly, attentive and knowledgable. We had pimento cheese toast and chips & guac to start. Then we enjoyed the burgers with tallow fries. Everything was delicious, hot and appealing to the eye! We really enjoyed our lunch.

Went for Sunday brunch. I wasn’t expecting a good value, so yeah don’t go here if you are looking for that. That said food was solid and vibes were great. Special occasion kind of visit for sure. Beware of 3% service charge - it is not for tips. I have heard of this employee benefits fee in theory but have not seen it in reality here in Dallas. It’s super dumb - employee benefits are not variable based on how much I order.

A little pricey and some of the old charm was missing. It was good but unless we go back during happy hour or on a Wednesday probably not going back. The burger was still amazing and chicken enchiladas were delicious.
