This was our (husband, son, and me) first time here and it was very lovely. The food came out hot and fresh. Seasoned very well. The staff was attentive and friendly. Our waitress was the best. Since it wasn't too busy she took the time to talk to us and even made some suggestions about the drinks. She made us feel like friends instead of just more customers. The vibe wad real laid back and chill. Will definitely be going back for more.

I have not eaten here in a while and was excited to make it to Lubbock in time to eat at what once was one of my favorite restaurants. The wait inside the restaurant was a reasonable 45 minutes, we opted to sit outside. The hostess/ waitress who led us outside, waited on three tables that came in after we did. I understand things happen but i really find this totally inexcuseable for a restaurant that has been open as long as this one. So we left.

First time to eat there. Met my son for Father's Day late lunch! Great service, and the food is great as well. They have large portions!

I would describe this place as a bar that serves food. It definitely had that bar vibe going on. We went for the food and was not disappointed. I had the chicken fried steak. It said hand breaded, I asked before ordering if it really was. The waitress said yes so I went ahead and ordered it. It was the best one I've had in a very long time. My wife had the shrimp alfredo. She really loved it. It had a lot of shrimp also. I love Dr. Pepper and theirs is mixed to perfection. Not since I have toured the Dr. Pepper plant have i had a perfectly balanced one. That made me very happy.
They changed the Dr. Pepper it no longer the best in lubbock. It's sub ok now. Put the Dr. Pepper back like it was. That was a main reason we returned. I took a star away for the depressing Dr. Pepper.

I really really really wanted to love this place, I was so excited to go and we drove all the way from New Mexico to eat here. Unfortunately the food was bland, our drinks were warm, and it was really expensive.
For two plates, an appetizer, and two alcoholic drinks it was $83. I wouldn't mind paying that much if the food was good but the gator was not seasoned at all and tasted like fry grease (literally just flour and pepper for the batter) and our drinks were room temp, we had to wait for them to cool down before we could drink them. Really no part of the meal was great, the best part was the fries and even those were just your standard restaurant fries.
This place has a lot of charm and I have no doubt it could be a total gem with just a bit of work. I hope they can revise their recipes a bit and really put this place on the map.

I had this place saved in my “want to go” section of google maps for a long time and was really excited to go. I had high hopes. All I can say is Meh. The food was meh. Very expensive for what it is. Definitely don’t order the oysters they were far from fresh. In fact, they were awful. The fried gator was pretty good, the rest of the food was just meh. I’m disappointed because I was so excited to try this place and I ordered a lot, which was a mistake. The environment is also meh. Probably won’t be returning

Had the crawfish po'boy for lunch. Wowzer do they stuff that po'boy with fried crawfish. It was fantastic! We had the fried cheese curds as a starter, because they were out of the egg rolls. I was even pleasantly surprised by their sweet tea. It was a perfect lunch.

Good service and food, my hush puppy's were a little over done and ran out of drink and waitress didn't come around until I was finished. However I will be going back.
