Working in Mineral Wells for the week when I decided to stop in for dinner. I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff and was surprised the restaurant wasn't busier than it was. Decor was appropriate for a small town BBQ restaurant and even had a country store complete with candy and canned items. Didn't notice until I was leaving, but it also has a drive thru.

Ordered a rib dinner with two sides and bread option (texas toast or jalapeño cornbread) and a drink; chose the mac and cheese, Natty Flat beans, and cornbread. Unfortunately, the lady at the register didn't realize they ran out of cornbread when I selected it, but they so apologetic about the minor mistake, I couldn't even be fazed by it.

Food was ready within 5 minutes and was absolutely delicious; every piece of it. The spicy BBQ sauce at the table was an added benefit, but the ribs were great without it. The beans came with shredded brisket on top and the mac and cheese was seasoned to perfection.

Once my meal was done, I lingered to get some work done on my laptop because the dining room was so quiet. As a result, I made room enough for dessert and chose a serving of the banana pudding. It was better than my wife's! (don't tell her) I would come back just for the dessert. In fact, given the options available, I might do just that when I'm back in town.

Next time, save me a serving of jalapeño cornbread!
