The restaurant is old but has a local charm that makes you comfortable once inside.

The ribs didn’t have much flavor and seemed like they had been reheated a couple times and the sides were small. Two teaspoons of baked beans was just not acceptable. They say everything is bigger in Texas just not on your plate at...
