Happy Cow Bar and Grill — Restaurant in Texas

Ok Food, Outside Seating, and Live Music.

Every other week, they do a crawfish broil. They have outside picnic tables, a small stage for live music, and there is some green space. The big trees are great for shade. It's a very typical country dive bar setup with an expected selection of commercial beers.

The food was ok but a bit overpriced. Chicken fingers cost 9 bucks and were the kind you buy frozen and just heat up. Even the appetizers, like fried pickles, were 8 bucks or more. Sadly, the crawfish was also only ok and they didn't have any butter.

Everyone working there was nice but don't plan on the crawfish being ready till around 2pm (they told us 1pm originally).

It's also not a great place to bring the kids, which makes sense because it primarily functions as a bar. Although there is green space to run around in, there's a lot of broken glass, a barb wire fence, and a lot of brush so it's not really safe for younger kids.

Overall, it's a decent place for a bite but I don't think we will go back...

CIGARETTE SMOKERS LOCAL DRINKING SPOT! This place has its cigarette smoking regulars who sit a the bar, and keep to themselves. If you sit at one if the indoor tables you will leave smelling like a an ashtray, if not noxious. We moved outside. The air was clean, but the mosquitoes were all over us. The bartender pointed to a bucket full of orange cans of mosquito spray. They don't have any servers, only a bartender and a cook. They have signs posted outside that say, "go inside to the bar to order food". They have a dirt parking lot, that's a bummer if you drive a nice, freshly washed car. In the outdoor seating area, there are concrete holes where posts once imbedded. There is rotted wood with metal rods sticking out. All of this is along side of the bean bag toss area. A hamburger, with added cheese & bacon costs $10. Fries or onion rings cost $2. The beef was perfectly grilled; the onion rings were large and well battered and fried crunchy, not greasy! ...Obviously a local smokers neighborhood...

We came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch at 1 pm. There were only two people in the bar besides us.

We ordered sliders and a Philly with rings and fries.

We got our drinks and were told it would be 15 minutes because the fryer hadn't been turned on yet. We weren't in a big hurry, so we didn't mind waiting. Thirty minutes later, we were still waiting. We asked the server, and she said it was almost done. Our food came out about 5 minutes later.

The sliders were top-notch some of the best burgers ever. They were simple yet so flavorful. What made them stand out was they were SEASONED! I didn't even add condiments they were seasoned so well. The philly was also very tasty.

The fries were very good, but the rings were ok. If I had to choose between the two, the fries are hands down better.

The food is very good. I'm not sure if the wait time is something normal or not as it was our...
