First time here. Place is really cool as far as set up. Indoor out door. Best "ambiance" I've seen in Stephenville, which ain't saying much, so kuddos! Lots of draft beer, liquor and frozen drinks. Out door area I could imagine would be really nice in fall or winter as it's covered and has 4 propane fire pits under roof with swing down doors. I love the concept and can see what they are trying todo here. We started with Goat balls, they were ok, they were not cooked properly, still coldish in the middle and not that impressive over all. BBQ sauce on them were different but pleasant, ranch dressing was on point. Our waiter was very uniformed on the menu, prep of food, sauces, choices, drinks prices and drink selections. Nice but basically clueless. Draft beer and cider was almost warm or cool but not cold, so that wasn't great. Inside building was cool not cold. Could be colder but has high ceilings. Salads are over priced and I wouldn't call this a "cob salad" as it lacked many components that cob salads should have. I had the catfish and I was pleasantly surprised that it was nicely done , crispy, hot, fresh, good portion and had a nice corn meal coating. Fries were good with a crispy flour coat. Cajun slaw appeared to be a little old but had decent flavor but bad color. Hush puppies were good but only got 2 small pups. Over all the fried catfish was really solid and I'm picky about fried catfish. We had a nice experience overall. I really like the vibe. I don't know why, but I would be interested to see how they handle a big crowd bc this place is big with many seats and staff seem not all too prepared in general. Could be wrong about that assumption. We came on a Sunday late evening and they seemed a little lackadaisical. I'll come back bc I like the vibe and food and was better than most in Stephenville.
