Never heard of this place.. it's nice if you're in the area.Early weekend night and there was no wait. It was decently busy though. The restaurant is pretty big. Parking lot was pretty full by the end of the night.It is really loud, so hard to have a conversation I think...Menu is HUGE and everybody will find something they want! Everything from tex mex to typical American. I feel like steaks are a go to for a lot of people. Food portions are big too!!Got the chicken fried steak ($16) and comes with a side. Got a side of cole slaw. I wish there was more cole slaw - I enjoyed it. The chicken fried steak was HUGEEE though. Definitely couldn't finish it. And it'd be good for 2 people. Not the healthiest choice, but I liked it.Food came out faster than expected w/ how busy it was. Service was fine.I think it's "hidden" in the sense it's not blown up on social media but a decent amount of people know about it! They do shows also.

First time ever coming here and left a little disappointed. However, still may be worth a shot for you!We came in just after 5pm on a Friday and we were the ONLY customers there. We stoop at the front for maybe 2 minutes before an employee walked by. We thought maybe they were closed but the employee said no, they were open. After we got sat, our server was really nice and friendly.We order the Wagon Wheel (fried pickles) as an appetizer. They were pretty good. My wife ordered the brisket and okra. She was not a big fan of her plate. Said the okra was over salted and the brisket was mediocre. I did try the okra and can confirm, it was a bit salty. I ordered the wild roasted boar. It was actually really good! The onions, mushrooms and the meat were all seasoned really well. The boar was very tender and flavorful. I think maybe we just came on an off night, it seems like it may be a really nice spot to eat and drink.

Went here on a Thursday night, and we were completely ignored. A waitress came from the outside, socialized with a group of patrons at a large table, that was right by the front door. Never asked if we were being helped, just walked away, and went back outside. We waited 5 more minutes, and no one came to welcome us or seat us. What else are they ignoring? Turned and left. Menu is enticing but definitely not the service.

Service was great for a busy concert night seeing Josh Ward. Didn't eat but enjoyed our cocktails!

Rating: 2.5 starsI came with a group of four for a musical fundraiser. We paid a cover of 15 dollars per person and we're allowed to sit in the covered "outdoor" seating area. We could choose any seat we wanted. The space was large and nice. They mostly had elevated tables and chairs which were on a slant and uncomfortable to sit on for long periods of time though. Service was pretty abysmal. There was only two servers for the whole area and so it took forever to get food and drinks or even orders stated. We ordered WAGON WHEELS which was a fried pickle appetizer for the table. The fried pickles were nice and yummy and the Smokey ranch dressing was delicious. Portion size was also huge. Definitely a must order. For my main I ordered the SHRIMP TEXANA. There was only a small handful of plump shrimp. Flavor was ok and they were very well cooked and juicy. They gave a huge scoop of pico on the side which was way more than was needed with the small amount of shrimp they gave. The order came with one side so I ordered the steamed veggies and also mashed potatoes as an extra side. The mashed potatoes were yummy and came with a great cream gravy. The veggies unfortunately were very lacking and not good at all. All in all, a disappointing night but at least there was a pro of lots of live music to enjoy while eating our food.

I wish there was a little more traffic, but that's what Yelp is for! When walking in on Sunday evening I was concerned that it was closed, outside of the handful of cars. Once inside, I'd easily give this spot a 4+, but there are some things to note:1. It has definitely changed. If you have been here in the past, it's not the same. Don't compare it to days of old. 2. Service can be slow. There isn't a lot of traffic, so rather than hover you sometimes don't see the staff. Not your spot if you want to be wined and dined. 3. My experience didn't include a live music act so no comment on that experience. This is an old Texas joint. I'd almost call it a sleepy vibe, with a GREAT soundtrack of old school county playing in the background. Service is friendly, but not in the bright-eyed bushy tail kind of way. Expect to grab their attention. The food is GOOD. It has the taste of homemade food, like you're at a friend's kitchen. Not everything has been workshopped but you're happy to try it again and again. I can't say I've had anything bad there. Today we got queso and chips, street brisket tacos, and a side salad. Everything was solid. I wish they would offer TWO sides per entree, as I like variety. Also had a few vodka and sodas which were nicely balanced. This is the kind of place I'd like to hang out, have a few beers with friends and be in no rush to leave.

We went to see a band play and had purchased a table right in front of the stage. When we got the table turned out to be one of those bar height ones. I am in a wheelchair so that wouldn't work. After arguing with the manager, the waitress and owner swapped out the table to a regular height table. I appreciate that.The band was great. Sound is pretty good there. We had a strawberry spinach salad, hamburger, chicken sandwich and chicken tenders. All were pretty good. The black raspberry martini tasted like lipstick to me. Just my opinion. Since we are from Illinois we probably won't be back any time soon but we would go again.

I wasn't sure about this place when friends who moved to Texas suggested it but I'm glad we went. It's the quintessential Texan place to eat at, often accompanied by live country music. We got the sample platter as our app and everything was delicious despite being fried and not so "health conscious". I got the chicken fried steak and it was yummy (again greasy/heavy) but hey, you only live once. Go and you'll have the ultimate Texas experience here.

Tonight we went to Love & War in Texas for our anniversary dinner. We hadn't been here in probably 10 years and we wanted to do something different. They were definitely not busy. We were seated quickly, the server came right over and drinks were brought quickly. It was a little dark in many parts of the dining area but that may have been because they were slow? The food used to be really good, or at least the chicken fried steak was, because that was my go to. For a starter we ordered the nacho libre with beef Texas style which was mediocre at best. My husband ordered the Big Tex chicken fried steak and a side of mashed potatoes. The batter on the chicken fried steak was not great texture wise and lacked flavor, the meat was not properly pounded/tenderized and was slightly tough and dried out. I ordered the cowboy rib eye steak and the steak just wasn't a good cut. Lots of connective tissue... lacked flavor. The steak was however cooked a perfect medium rare as ordered. The steak sauce and weird cold black eyed pea salad were awful. The mashed potatoes or the gravy (not sure which) were very salty and I really like salt, so if I think it was salty... it was salty.The waiter was a really nice kid, got my husband's side wrong but rectified it immediately. All in all the service was fine but the food did not meet expectations, especially for the price. That steak was definitely not a $36 cut and the food wasn't worth $85 total. I have no problem paying for good food, but I left disappointed. The quality of the food was not on par with pricing.
