Dimly lit BBQ joint with Texas-themed memorabilia serving ribs, brisket & bourbon. This unassuming restaurant is a great place to grab a cold pint of beer, some wings and bbq, and take in the decor. Great casual place for a low-key night.
Added bonus for families with kids: there is a play area in the back to keep the monsters busy during your meal! And my kids go crazy for the pinball machine.
