The Broken Sprocket — Restaurant in Brownsville

Had to share a bad service experience here from Saturday night. Was at the barrel tables by the back wall and waiter came and offered to take drink order, I ordered a ranch water and waited and waited, nothing. I finally went to the bar and ordered there myself. When I got back to my friends, turns out she had brought a drink but dropped if off at one of the other tables and not even given it to me. The mosquitos were so bad that we ended up leaving early, I had only had about half of my drink. I decide to stay but walked some friends to their car to say goodbye, maybe for 5 min tops. When I got back the tables had been wiped clean, all drinks were gone. Checked my bank the next day and, you guessed it, I was charged $25 for only getting to drink one half of a ranch water. If you like bad service, overpriced drinks, loud subpar music, and lots of mosquitos then broken sprocket is the...

We need more community-centric establishments like The Broken Sprocket. The atmosphere is super chill, it's a great place to unwind, and everyone I meet has a smile on their face (staff and locals).

The Sprocket has some of the best local food you can get in the valley. I'm all about Habanero's blackened fish tacos and anything on the menu at Mike's Come and Eat It Texas BBQ. I'm still working my way around to the other food trucks and from what I've tried it's all tasty.

The beer and wine garden has a great selection---there's always something new to try. Tony and the gang are doing it right!

I highly recommend you come...
